Decoding Transcriptional Identity in Developing Human Sensory Neurons and Organoid Modeling


ABSTRACT: Dorsal root ganglia (DRG) play a crucial role in processing sensory information, making it essential to understand their development. Here, we construct a single-cell spatiotemporal transcriptomic atlas of human embryonic DRG. This atlas reveals the diversity of cell types and highlights the extrinsic signaling cascades and intrinsic regulatory hierarchies that guide cell fate decisions, including neuronal/glial lineage restriction, sensory neuron differentiation and specification, and the formation of neuron-satellite glial cell (SGC) unit. Additionally, we identify a human-enriched NTRK3+/DCC+ nociceptor subtype, which is involved in multimodal nociceptive processing. Mimicking the programmed activation of signaling pathways in vivo, we successfully establish functional human DRG organoids and underscore the critical roles of transcriptional regulators in the fate commitment of unspecialized sensory neurons (uSNs). Overall, our research elucidates the multilevel signaling pathways and transcription factor (TF) regulatory hierarchies that underpin the diversity of somatosensory neurons, emphasizing the phenotypic distinctions in human nociceptor subtypes.
