IPSC-derived human sensory neurons reveal a subset of TRPV1 antagonists as anti-pruritic compounds

ABSTRACT: Given the inaccessibility of human sensory neurons (SNs), it is yet to be established whether the signalling pathway between histamine 1 receptor (H1R) and transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1) is conserved between humans and mammalian models. Accessible human SNs are vital for identifying TRPV1 antagonists with higher potential for success in clinical trials targeting histaminergic itch, especially given TRPV1's species specificity concerns. Hence to build a humanized histamine-dependent itch model, we derived peripheral sensory neurons from human pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC-SNs) and validated channel functionality using immunostaining, calcium imaging and multielectrode array (MEA) recordings. Here, we demonstrated that a subset of hiPSC-SNs exhibits co-expression of H1R and TRPV1, responding to both histamine and capsaicin agonists. We found that inhibiting TRPV1 prevented histamine activation. Moreover, we show that silencing histamine-sensitive neurons reduces capsaicin response, and silencing capsaicin-sensitive neurons diminishes histamine response. To assess the ability of hiPSC-SNs in TRPV1 antagonist drug screening, we evaluated two well-established hyperthermic and three thermal-neutral TRPV1 antagonists. Our finding identifies SB366791, a thermal-neutral antagonist, as a potent inhibitor of H1R activation. The use of hiPSC-SNs may therefore provide a physiologically relevant means to perform large-scale screening to discover anti-pruritic agents predictive of actual efficacy in human clinical trials.

Expression of receptors for inflammatory mediators in murine vagal nodose versus jugular capsaicin-sensitive (Trpv1-positive) C-fiber neurons

Project description:Capsaicin-sensitive (Trpv1-positive) sensory C-fibers derived from vagal ganglia innervate the visceral organs, and respond to inflammatory mediators and noxious stimuli. These neurons play an important role in maintenance of visceral homeostasis, and contribute to the symptoms of visceral inflammatory diseases. Vagal sensory neurons are located in two ganglia, the jugular ganglia (derived from the neural crest), and the nodose ganglia (from the epibranchial placodes). The functional difference, especially in response to immune mediators, between jugular and nodose neurons is not fully understood. In this study, we microscopically isolated murine nodose and jugular capsaicin-sensitive / Trpv1-expressing C-fiber neurons and performed transcriptome profiling using ultra-low input RNA sequencing.

Nociceptor HDAC4 regulates inflammatory pain

Project description:Transcriptional alterations are characteristic of persistent pain states but the key regulators remain elusive. Using a conditional knockout (cKO) strategy in mice we sought to determine whether loss of the transcriptional co-repressor histone deacetylase four (HDAC4) would have implications for sensory neuron transcription and nociception. HDAC4 was found to be largely dispensable for transcriptional regulation of naïve sensory neurons but was required for transcriptional responses after injury, with Calca and Trpv1 expression consistently downregulated in HDAC4 cKO compared to littermate controls (0.2-0.44 fold). This downregulation corresponded to reduced sensitivity to capsaicin in vitro (76% +/- 4.4% wildtype capsaicin responders vs 56.9% +/- 4.7% cKO responders) and to reduced thermal hypersensitivity in the complete Freund’s adjuvant model of inflammatory pain (1.3-1.4 fold improvement). These data indicate that HDAC4 is a novel inflammatory pain mediator and may be a good therapeutic target, capable of orchestrating the regulation of multiple downstream effectors. Total RNA was extracted from HDAC4 cKO and HDAC4 fl/fl naïve adult lumbar dorsal root ganglia (n=3/group). mRNA expression was compared using Affymetrix Mouse Gene Arrays (Mouse Gene 2.0ST) run on a GeneChip Fluidics Station 450. Chips were scanned on an Affymetrix GeneChip Scanner.

Molecular signature of pruriceptive MrgprA3+ neurons

Project description:We performed RNA sequencing of genetically labeled MrgprA3+ neurons under both naïve and allergic contact dermatitis conditions. Our results revealed the unique molecular signature of itch-sensing neurons and the distinct transcriptional profile changes that result in response to dermatitis. We found enrichment of nine Mrgpr family members and two histamine receptors in MrgprA3+ neurons, suggesting that MrgprA3+ neurons are a direct neuronal target for histamine and Mrgprs agonists. In addition, Ptpn6 and Pcdh12 were identified as novel and highly selective markers of MrgprA3+ neurons. We also discovered that MrgprA3+ neurons respond to skin dermatitis in a way that is unique from other sensory neurons by regulating a combination of transcriptional factors, ion channels, and key molecules involved in synaptic transmission. These results significantly increase our knowledge of itch transmission and uncover potentially novel targets for combating itch.

RNA sequencing determines nuclear-accumulated Cav3.2iPA on transcriptional regulation of human iPSC-derived sensory neurons

Project description:By targeting the intrinsically disordered regions (IDR) of calcium channel subtype 3.2 (Cav3.2), we discovered selective T-type/Cav3.2 peptide inhibitors (Cav3.2iPAs) for AAV-mediated peripheral sensory neuron-specific analgesia. We found that Cav3.2iPAs are highly accumulated in the nuclei after expression in human induced pluripotent stem cells-derived sensory neurons (hiPSC-SNs). This study aims to determine whether nuclear-accumulated Cav3.2iPAs disturb the transcriptional regulation of hiPSC-SNs which becomes a safety concern.

Molecular effects of capsaicin on human gingival epithelial cells

Project description:In order to explain the molecular mechanisms of capsaicin-induced proliferation of gingival epithelial cells (GECs), a microarray analysis was performed. Several cell proliferation related genes were significantly up-regulated. These data suggest that TRPV1 signaling in GEC may induce transcriptional upregulation of growth factors, which results in an increased proliferation rate. Simian virus 40 (SV40) T-antigen-immortalized human gingival epithelial cell line, epi4, were stimulated with 1 M-NM-<M capsaicin for 4 hours. Total RNA was isolated and subjected to gene expression analysis using Agilent whole human genome oligo microarray.

Alternative splicing of the TRPV1 gene underlies infrared sensation in vampire bats

Project description:Vampire bats and snakes have taken thermosensation to the extreme by developing specialized systems for detecting infrared radiation. As such, these creatures provide a window into the molecular and genetic mechanisms underlying evolutionary tuning of thermoreceptors in a species or cell type specific manner. In each case, robust thermal sensitivity likely reflects specialized anatomical features of infrared sensing pit organs, as well as intrinsic heat sensitivity of trigeminal nerve fibers that innervate these structures. Here we show that vampire bats use a molecular strategy involving alternative splicing of the TRPV1 gene to generate a channel specifically within trigeminal ganglia that has a reduced thermal activation threshold. Selective expression of splicing factors in trigeminal, but not dorsal root ganglia, together with unique organization of the vampire bat TRPV1 gene underlies this mechanism of sensory adaptation. Comparative genomic analysis of the TRPV1 locus supports phylogenetic relationships within the proposed Pegasoferae clade of mammals. Gene expression measurements implicate a TRPV1 splice isoform as the heat-sensitive channel in vampire bats
