Neural activity recorded in breast tumors originates from the sympathetic nervous

ABSTRACT: The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is a regulator of major pathological events in the tumor microenvironment (TME) of solid carcinomas where the branches of ANS have antagonistic effects on tumor growth and metastasis. Neural activity recorded from breast tumors may be associated with autonomic system function. To test this hypothesis, we performed in vivo chronic electrical recordings from murine mammary tumors of triple negative breast cancers (TNBC) following complete sub-diaphragmatic vagotomy and chemical sympathectomy. In addition to TNBC mammary tumors, we also obtained daily electrical recordings from mammary tumors overexpressing human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) following chemical sympathectomy. Our results show that tumoral neural activity is partially blocked in vagotomized animals while it is completely absent in the sympathectomized subjects. These studies indicate that neural activity in TNBC and HER2+ tumors is predominantly generated by peripheral nor-adrenergic sympathetic nerves and provide evidence of a strong active link between the brain and tumor through the autonomic nervous system. The results implicate a new and as yet unexplored mechanism to investigate the potential role of the sympathetic nervous system in the regulation of tumor growth and metastasis.

Chronic and acute exposure to rotenone lead to distinct Parkinson’s disease-related phenotypes in human iPSC-derived peripheral neurons

Project description:Peripheral autonomic nervous system (P-ANS) dysfunction is a critical non-motor phenotype of Parkinson's disease (PD). While the majority of PD cases are sporadic with no identified PD-associated genes involved, epidemiological and animal model studies suggest an association with pesticides and other environmental toxins but underlying cellular mechanisms affecting the human P-ANS is unclear. Here, we mapped the global transcriptome changes in human induced-pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) derived P-ANS sympathetic neurons followed by exposure to the PD-related pesticide, rotenone. Surprisingly, we revealed distinct transcriptome profiles between acute and chronic exposure to rotenone. In the acute stage, there was a down regulation of specific cation channel genes mediating action potential signaling, while in the chronic stage, the human P-ANS neurons exhibited dysregulation of anti-apoptotic and Golgi apparatus-related pathways. Moreover, we identified the sodium voltage-gated channel subunit SCN3A/Nav1.3 as a potential biomarker in human P-ANS neurons associated with PD. Our analysis of the rotenone-altered coding and non-coding genome of human P-ANS neurons may thus provide insight into the pathological signaling events that occur in the sympathetic neurons during PD progression.

Effects of light-at-night on the rat liver - a role for the autonomic nervous system (Experiment 1)

Project description:Exposure to light at night (LAN) has been associated with serious pathologies, including obesity, diabetes and cancer. Recently we showed that 2 hours of LAN impaired glucose tolerance in rats. Several studies have suggested that the autonomic nervous system (ANS) plays an important role in communicating these acute effects of LAN to the periphery. Here, we investigated the acute effects of LAN on the liver transcriptome of male Wistar rats. Expression levels of individual genes were not markedly affected by LAN, nevertheless pathway analysis revealed clustered changes in a number of endocrine pathways. Subsequently, we used selective hepatic denervations (sympathetic (Sx), parasympathetic (Px), total (Tx, i.e., Sx plus Px), sham) to investigate the involvement of the ANS in the effects observed. Surgical removal of the sympathetic or parasympathetic hepatic branches of the ANS resulted in many, but small changes in the liver transcriptome, including a pathway involved with circadian clock regulation, but it clearly separated the four denervation groups. On the other hand, analysis of the liver metabolome was not able to separate the denervation groups, and only 6 out of 78 metabolites were significantly up- or downregulated after denervations. Finally, removal of the sympathetic and parasympathetic hepatic nerves combined with LAN exposure clearly modulated the effects of LAN on the liver transcriptome, but left most endocrine pathways unaffected. Conclusion: One-hour light-at-night acutely affects the liver transcriptome. Part of this effect is mediated via the nervous innervation, as a hepatectomy modulated and reduced the effect of LAN on liver transcripts.

Bioengineering of a human innervated cardiac muscle model

Project description:Cardiac autonomic neurons control cardiac contractility. Dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system can lead to sympathetic overdrive resulting in heart failure and an increased incidence of fatal arrhythmias. Here, we introduce innervated engineered human myocardium (iEHM), a novel model of neuro-cardiac junctions, constructed by fusion of a bioengineered neural organoid (BENO) patterned to autonomic nervous system and engineered human myocardium (EHM). Projections of sympathetic neurons into engineered human myocardium formed presynaptic terminals in close proximity to cardiomyocytes and an extensive vascular network co-developing in the tissues. Contractile responses to optogenetic stimulation of the accordingly engineered neuronal component demonstrated functionality of the engineered neuro-cardiac junctions in iEHM. This model will serve as a human surrogate system to delineate neuron and cardiac cell contribution to brain and heart diseases and is an important step towards engineering a human brain to heart axis in a dish.

Sympathetic Nerve Signal is Critical for Regulating Mammary Gland Development and Mammary Stem Cell Activity

Project description:Adult stem cell activity and organ development are elaborately regulated by microenvironmental signals. However, little is known about the regulatory effects of microenvironmental sympathetic nerve signals on organ development and stem cell activity. Here, using a mouse mammary gland model, we determined the regulatory function of sympathetic nerve system (SNS) on mammary development and mammary stem cell activity. Our results indicated that depletion of sympathetic nerve signals delayed the elongation of mammary ducts during puberty and pregnancy, and lead to the loss of mammary stem cells (MaSCs). In vitro three-dimensional (3D) culture and in vivo transplantation analyses indicated that the loss of sympathetic nerve signals inhibits the self-renewal and reconstruction activity of mammary stem cells, while the activation of sympathetic nerve signals promotes the self-renewal and reconstruction activity of mammary stem cells. Mechanistically, we found that sympathetic nerve signals regulate the activity of mammary stem cells and mammary development through the PI3K/ERK pathway. Together, our study reveals the function of sympathetic nervous signals in maintaining mammary homeostasis and regulating mammary stem cell activity, providing a novel view for the nervous system's regulation of organ development.

Parasympathetic neurons derived from human pluripotent stem cells model human diseases and development

Project description:Parasympathetic neurons (parasymNs) belong to the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and are critical for unconscious body responses, including rest-and-digest and calming the body. ParasymN dysfunction has been found involved in neural diseases such as autonomic neuropathy and neurological autoimmune disease; and parasymN innervation is important for organ development. However, human parasymN function and dysfunction is vastly understudied, due to the lack of a model system. Human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived neurons can fill this void and serve for disease modeling, drug screening, and transplantation therapy. Here, we developed a differentiation paradigm detailing for the first time, the derivation of functional human parasymNs from Schwann cell progenitors (SCP). We employ these neurons (i) to assess human ANS development paradigms, (ii) to model neuropathy in the genetic disorder Familial Dysautonomia (FD), (iii) to show parasymN dysfunction during SARS-CoV-2 infection, (iv) to model the autoimmune disease Sjörgen’s syndrome and, (v) to show that parasymN innervation of white adipocytes during development and help mature the tissue. Our model system will become instrumental for future disease mechanistic and drug discovery studies as well as for human developmental studies.

Motor nerves direct the development of the sympathetic nervous system

Project description:The sympathetic nervous system controls a wide spectrum of bodily functions including operation of vessels, cardiac rhythm, and the “flight or fight response”. Sympathetic neurons, which are neural crest-derived, develop in coordination with presynaptic motor nerves extending from the central nervous system (CNS). By using nerve-selective genetic ablations, we revealed that sympathetic ganglia development depends on CNS-derived motor innervation. In the absence of preganglionic motor nerves, trunk sympathetic chain ganglia were fragmented and smaller in size, while cervical ganglia were severely misshapen. Sympathetic neurons were misplaced along sensory fibers and projected towards abnormal paths, in some cases invading the sensory dorsal root ganglia. The misplaced progenitors of sympathoblasts corresponded to the nerve-associated, neural crest-derived Schwann cell precursors (SCPs). Notably, we found that SCPs activate the autonomic marker PHOX2B while migrating along motor nerves towards the region of the dorsal aorta in wildtype embryos, suggesting that SCP differentiate into sympathetic neurons while still nerve-associated in motor-ablated embryos. Ligand-receptor prediction from single cell transcriptomic data coupled with functional studies identified Semaphorin 3A/3F as candidate motor nerve-derived signals influencing neural crest migration along axons. Thus, motor nerves control the placement of sympathoblasts and their subsequent axonal navigation during critical periods of sympathetic chain development.

Inhibition of G-protein signaling in cardiac dysfunction of Intellectual Developmental Disorder with Cardiac Arrhythmia (IDDCA) syndrome.

Project description:Background: Pathogenic variants of GNB5 encoding the 5 subunit of the guanine nucleotide-binding protein cause IDDCA syndrome, an autosomal recessive neurodevelopmental disorder associated with cognitive disability and cardiac arrhythmia, particularly severe bradycardia. Methods: We used echocardiography and telemetric ECG recordings to investigate consequences of Gnb5 loss in mouse. Results: We delineated a key role of Gnb5 in heart sinus conduction and showed that Gnb5-inhibitory signaling is essential for parasympathetic control of heart rate and maintenance of the sympatho-vagal balance. Gnb5-/- mice were smaller and had a smaller heart than Gnb5+/+ and Gnb5+/-, but exhibited better cardiac function. Lower autonomic nervous system modulation through diminished parasympathetic control and greater sympathetic regulation, resulted in a higher baseline heart rate in Gnb5-/- mice. In contrast, Gnb5-/- mice exhibited profound bradycardia upon treatment with Carbachol, while sympathetic modulation of the cardiac stimulation was not altered. Concordantly, transcriptome study pinpointed altered expression of genes involved in cardiac muscle contractility in atria and ventricles of knocked-out mice. Homozygous Gnb5 loss resulted in significantly higher frequencies of sinus arrhythmias. Moreover, we described thirteen affected individuals, increasing the IDDCA cohort to 44 patients. Conclusions: Our data demonstrate that loss of negative regulation of the inhibitory G-protein signaling causes heart rate perturbations in Gnb5-/- mice, an effect mainly driven by impaired parasympathetic activity. We anticipate that unraveling the mechanism of Gnb5-signaling in the autonomic control of the heart will pave the way for future drug screening.
