Whole larvae and nociceptive neuron RNA-Seq samples

ABSTRACT: The goal of this study was to identify ion channels, specifically transient receptor potential cation channel A (trpA1) channels, that were highly expressed and enriched in nociceptive sensory neurons of Drosophila larvae. In class IV da sensory neurons, we find that TrpA1 is the most highly expressed trpA1 channel of the 14 trpA1 channels in Drosophila, and that its expression is highly enriched when compared to the whole animal transcriptome.

Molecular Basis of Infrared Detection by Snakes

Project description:Snakes possess a unique sensory system for detecting infrared radiation, enabling them to generate a ‘thermal image’ of predators or prey. Infrared signals are initially received by the pit organ, a highly specialized facial structure that is innervated by nerve fibers of the somatosensory system. How this organ detects and transduces infrared signals into nerve impulses is not known. Here we use an unbiased transcriptional profiling approach to identify TRPA1 as the infrared receptor on sensory neurons that innervate the pit organ. TRPA1 from pit bearing snakes (rattlesnakes and pythons) are the most heat sensitive vertebrate ion channels thus far identified, consistent with their role as primary transducers of infrared stimuli in these animals. Thus, snakes detect infrared signals through a mechanism involving radiant heating of the pit organ, rather than photochemical transduction. These findings illustrate the broad evolutionary tuning of TRP channels as thermosensors in the vertebrate nervous system. Gene expression measurements implicate TRPA1 as the heat-sensitive channel in diverse pit snakes

Drosophila epidermal cells are intrinsically mechanosensitive and modulate nociceptive behavioral outputs

Project description:Somatosensory neurons (SSNs) that detect and transduce mechanical, thermal, and chemical stimuli densely innervate an animal’s skin. However, although epidermal cells provide the first point of contact for sensory stimuli. our understanding of roles that epidermal cells play in SSN function, particularly nociception, remains limited. Here, we show that stimulating Drosophila epidermal cells elicits activation of SSNs including nociceptors and triggers a variety of behavior outputs, including avoidance and escape. Further, we find that epidermal cells are intrinsically mechanosensitive and that epidermal mechanically evoked calcium responses require the store-operated calcium channel Orai. Epidermal cell stimulation augments larval responses to acute nociceptive stimuli and promotes prolonged hypersensitivity to subsequent mechanical stimuli. Hence, epidermal cells are key determinants of nociceptive sensitivity and sensitization, acting as primary sensors of noxious stimuli that tune nociceptor output and drive protective behaviors.

Identification of genes enriched in nociceptive neurons of Drosophila larvae

Project description:This study aims to identify genes whose expression is enriched in the nociceptive neurons of Drosophila larvae. These neurons are involved in detecting noxious mechanical and noxious thermal stimuli. Four replicates each for Class I md-da neurons (2-21Gal4>>UAS-mCD8GFP) and Class IV md-da (ppk-GAL4>>UAS-mCD8GFP) neurons were analyzed. RNA from 50-60 neurons for each replicate was isolated by laser capture microdissection. RNA was amplified using the WT-Ovation Pico Kit from NuGen technologies. RNA was fragmented and labeled using the FL-Ovation cDNA Biotin Module V2 (NuGen Technologies). RNA was hybridized to arrays and data scanned at the Translational Genomics Research Institute.

The transcriptome of TRPV1-positive sensory neurons revealed by subgroup-elimination transcriptomics

Project description:We developed an approach to rapidly eliminate the subgroup of sensory neurons expressing the heat-gated cation channel TRPV1 from dissociated rat sensory ganglia using agonist treatment followed by density centrifugation. To identify transcripts predomintly expressed in TRPV1-positive neurons, we compared the transcriptome of all cells within sensory ganglia versus all cells without TRPV1 expressing neurons using RNA-Seq. Four replicate experiments with RNA from DRG neurons of one rat per experiment were performed. Dissociated neurons were split up in three parts, treated with solvent DMSO (0.1%), casaicin (10 µM), or RTX (100 nM) for 30 min followed by gradient centrifugation. RNA was extracted from the remaining pellet containing either all cells or all cells without TRPV1-positive neurons.

Characterisation of iPSC derived Sensory neurons with Single Cell RNA-seq

Project description:Despite the rapid development of protocols to differentiate human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) into neurons, those used to produce sensory neurons remain difficult to replicate and result in heterogenous populations. Moreover, there is a growing clinical burden of chronic pain conditions, highlighting a need for relevant human cellular models. This study presents a hybrid differentiation method to produce nociceptive sensory neurons from hPSCs. Cell lines harbouring an inducible NEUROG2 construct were patterned towards precursors with small molecules, followed by NEUROG2 overexpression. We profilled cells with single cell RNA sequencing, which revealed populations of nociceptors, demonstrated by the expression of key developmental and fucntional genes including volatge gated sodium and TRP channels. Overall, this study represents an optimisation of existing methods to efficiently produce nociceptive sensory neurons and provides a tool for chronic pain research and the development of treatments.
