Persistent changes in nociceptor translatomes govern hyperalgesic priming in mouse models

ABSTRACT: Hyperalgesic priming is a model system that has been widely used to understand plasticity in painful stimulus-detecting sensory neurons, called nociceptors. A key feature of this model system is that following priming, stimuli that do not normally cause hyperalgesia now readily provoke this state. We hypothesized that hyperalgesic priming occurs due to reorganization of translation of mRNA in nociceptors. To test this hypothesis we used paclitaxel treatment as the priming stimulus and translating ribosome affinity purification (TRAP) to measure persistent changes in mRNA translation in Nav1.8+ nociceptors. TRAP sequencing revealed 161 genes with persistently altered mRNA translation in the primed state. We identified Gpr88as upregulated, and Metrn as downregulated. We confirmed a functional role for these genes wherein a GPR88 agonist causes pain only in primed mice, and established hyperalgesic priming is reversed by Meteorin. Our work demonstrates that altered nociceptor translatomes are causative in producing hyperalgesic priming.

Expression data from FACS purified nociceptor neurons from peripheral sensory ganglia

Project description:The goal of this study was to analyze global gene expression in specific populations of nociceptor sensory neurons, the neurons that detect damaging/noxious stimuli. The dorsal root ganglia (DRG), trigeminal ganglia, and nodose ganglia are anatomically distinct peripheral sensory ganglia that contain nociceptors which innervate skin, gut, lungs, and other distinct organ tissues. We used flow cytometry to purify nociceptors from these ganglia and profiled their global gene expression signatures to compare gene expression between these different anatomically distinct nociceptors. Nav1.8-Cre were bred with Rosa26-TdTomato to generate Nav1.8-Cre/R26-TdTomato reporter progeny, where all peripheral nociceptor neurons are genetically marked with red fluroescence due to specific expression of the TTX- resistant sodium channel Nav1.8. Lumbar region dorsal root ganglia (DRG), trigeminal ganglia, and nodose ganglia were dissected from mice (3 mice were pooled/sample). Highly red fluorescent neurons were Facs purified, RNA extracted, and processed for microarray analysis.

Nociceptor translational profiling reveals the RagA-mTORC1 network as a critical generator of neuropathic pain

Project description:Pain sensing neurons, nociceptors, are key drivers of neuropathic pain. We used translating ribosome affinity purification (trap) to comprehensively characterize up- and down-regulated mRNA translation in Scn10a-positive nociceptors in chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain. We provide evidence that an underlying mechanism driving these changes in gene expression is a sustained mTORC1 activation driven by MNK1-eIF4E signaling. RagA, a GTPase controlling mTORC1 activity, is identified as a novel target of MNK1-eIF4E signaling, demonstrating a new link between these distinct signaling pathways. Neuropathic pain and RagA translation are strongly attenuated by genetic ablation of eIF4E phosphorylation, MNK1 elimination or treatment with the MNK inhibitor eFT508. We reveal a novel translational circuit for the genesis of neuropathic pain with important implications for next generation neuropathic pain therapeutics.

Transcription profiling of mouse dorsal root ganglia after diphtheria-toxin deletion of the Nav1.8-expressing cells using the cre/loxP system

Project description:Comparison of transcript levels after diphtheria-toxin deletion of the Nav1.8-expressing cells using the cre/loxP system.<br> Pain requires input from nociceptors which are specialised peripheral sensory neurons in dorsal root ganglia (DRG). To explore the nociceptor-specific mRNA profiles, we used microarray analysis to examine the altered repertoire of genes expressed in DRG from mice depleted of Nav1.8-expressing neurons which are mainly nociceptors. To generate the animal, a Nav1.8 knock-in Cre-expressing mouse (Nav1.8-Cre) was used to excise a floxed stop upstream of globally expressed diphtheria toxin A-subunit gene (ROSA26-eGFP-DTA). By crossing heterozygous Cre mice with homozygous toxin-expressing floxed mice, experimental toxin-expressing (DTA) mice, in which DTA expressing nociceptors had been deleted, were generated. 6 DTA mice and 6 litter mate controls were used for microarray analysis. 3 Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array chips were employed for analysis of the gene transcripts of each conditions.

Sex-specific nociceptor modulation of apical periodontitis transcriptome

Project description:Apical periodontitis (AP) is a painful disease that develops quickly following dental infections and is primarily characterized by robust inflammation surrounding the tissues of the affected tooth, resulting in disruption of bone homeostasis and periradicular bone loss. Moreover, there are distinct clinical presentations, symptoms, and responses to AP treatment between males and females, creating a desperate need to further understand the sex-specific mechanisms of AP. With the growing evidence that nociceptors modulate AP development, we utilized RNA sequencing in nociceptor-ablated (Nav1.8 cre+/-, Diphtheria Toxin Alox+/-) transgenic mice to study nociceptor regulation of the periapical lesion transcriptome using a rodent model of AP in female mice over 14 days. Overall, we found that female mice exhibit unique patterns of differentially expressed genes throughout AP infection compared to male mice, and that the expression of these genes is regulated by nociceptors. Additionally, nociceptor-ablation results in a more significant enrichment of biological processes related to immune responses earlier compared to cre-control (Nav1.8 cre+/-) females as well as greater expression of genes involved in inflammatory processes and osteolytic activity. Therefore, while nociceptor-ablation augments inflammatory and bone resorption responses in both males and females in a mouse model of AP, transcriptomic analyses demonstrate the mechanisms through which nociceptors modulate AP are distinct between sexes. These studies will provide the foundation needed to study further mechanisms of sex differences in AP, an area with a desperate need for investigation to treat current AP patients. Understanding these mechanisms can ultimately inform treatment options to alleviate suffering for millions of patients suffering from AP.

Defining the nociceptor transcriptome

Project description:Unbiased 'omics' techniques, such as next generation RNA-sequencing, can provide entirely novel insights into biological systems. However, cellular heterogeneity presents a significant barrier to analysis and interpretation of these datasets. The neurons of the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) are an important model for studies of neuronal injury, regeneration and pain. The majority of investigators utilize a dissociated preparation of whole ganglia when studying cellular and molecular function. We demonstrate that the standard methods for producing these preparations gives a 10%-neuronal mixture of cells, with the remainder of cells constituting satellite glia and other non-neuronal cell types. Using a novel application of magnetic purification, we consistently obtain over 95% pure, viable neurons from adult tissue, significantly enriched for small diameter nociceptors expressing the voltage gated ion channel Nav1.8. Using genome-wide RNA-sequencing we compare the currently used (10% neuronal) and pure (95% nociceptor) preparations and find 920 genes enriched. This gives an unprecedented insight into the molecular composition of small nociceptive neurons in the DRG, potentially altering the interpretation of previous studies performed at the tissue level, and indicating a number of novel markers of this widely-studied population of cells. We anticipate that the ease of use, affordability and speed of this technique will see it become widely adopted, delivering a greatly improved capacity to study the roles of nociceptors in health and disease. RNA-Seq was performed for 4 biological replicates from three different groups: intact DRG, acutely dissociated DRG and magnetically-purified DRG neurons. Differential expression was analyzed between acutely dissociated and MACS-dissociated samples to define the 'nociceptor transcriptome'.
