Project description:To understand how neural circuits are assembled, it is essential to identify and characterize the axonal guidance cues and receptors that determine the axonal trajectories and connections between neurons. We performed single-cell RNA sequencing of olfactory sensory neurons from zebrafish to identify candidate axonal guidance-related genes that are differentially expressed according to sensory axon target location in the olfactory bulb. Among the candidates we identified were several members of the non-clustered delta-protocadherin family of adhesion molecules. We found that two members of the delta1-protocadherin family, pcdh7b and pcdh11, are most highly expressed in sensory neurons that project to the DZ protoglomerulus. Knocking down either one impairs the ability of sensory axons to terminate within the DZ protoglomerulus, but does not affect the ability of other sensory axons from terminating normally in the CZ protoglomerulus. In contrast, two members of the delta2-protocadherin family, pcdh10b and pcdh17, are most highly expressed in sensory neurons that project to the CZ protoglomerulus. Knocking down pcdh10b induces ectopic terminations of CZ projecting sensory axons. Knocking down pcdh17 induces substantial ectopic axonal trajectories and impairs CZ projecting sensory axons from finding and terminating in the CZ protoglomerulus. Knockdowns of either pcdh10b or pcdh17 do not affect DZ projecting sensory axons. These findings suggest that delta1-protocadherins help DZ projecting sensory axons enter and remain within the DZ protoglomerulus, while delta2-protocadherins help CZ projecting sensory axons navigate to the CZ protoglomerulus.

Project description:Olfactory sensory neurons distinguish a large variety of odor molecules and direct the information through their axons to the olfactory bulb, the first site for the processing of olfactory information in the brain. Olfaction is very important for most mammals for the maintenance of a good quality of life. Accumulating evidences endorse that olfactory sensory decline is connected with neurodegenerative disorders including schizophrenia, depression, multiple sclerosis, Huntington's, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. For several decades, neuroanatomical, volumetric, and histological approaches have been the gold standard techniques employed to characterize the olfactory bulb functionality. Diagnosis and treatment of olfactory dysfunction remain significant health care challenges to society. Novel strategies and clues that assist in the identification of biomarker and drug development for aid in the prevention and cure of neurological diseases are necessary. However, little attention has been focused specifically on the molecular composition of the olfactory bulb from the perspective of proteomics. To this end, an in-depth mapping of the olfactory bulb proteome was carried out using high resolution tandem mass spectrometry, revealing a repertoire of 7,754 proteins. A large proportion of the identified proteins were predicted to be involved in diverse biological processes including signal transduction, metabolism, transport, olfaction and protein synthesis. Pathway analysis of the identified proteins shows that, these proteins are predominantly involved in metabolic and neural processes, chromatin modeling, and synaptic vesicle transport associated with neuronal transmission. In total, our study offers valuable understandings into the molecular composition of the human olfactory bulb proteome that could possibly help neuroscience community to understand the olfactory bulb better and open avenues for intervention strategies for olfactory dysfunction in the future.

Project description:The olfactory bulb (OB) is a critical component of mammalian olfactory neuroanatomy. Beyond being the first and sole relay station for olfactory information to the rest of the brain, it also contains elaborate stereotypical circuitry that is considered essential for olfaction. Indeed, substantial lesions of the OB in rodents lead to anosmia. Here, we examined the circuitry that underlies olfaction in a mouse model with severe developmental degeneration of the OB. These mice could perform odor-guided tasks and even responded normally to innate olfactory cues. Despite the near total loss of the OB, piriform cortex in these mice responded to odors normally and its neural activity sufficed to decode odor identity. We found that sensory neurons expressthe full repertoire of olfactory receptors and their axons project primarily to the rudiments of the OB, but also ectopically, to olfactory cortical regions. Within the OB, the number of principal neurons was greatly reduced and the morphology of their dendrites was abnormal, extending over large regions within the OB. Glomerular organization was totally lost in the severe cases of OB degeneration and altered in the more conserved OBs, and the transcriptional profile of the glomerular layer was highly inflammatory. This study shows that olfactory functionality can be preserved despite reduced and aberrant circuitry that is missing many of the elements that are believed to be essential for olfaction, and may explain reported retention of olfaction in humans with degenerated OBs

Project description:Olfactory ensheathing cells are one of the few central nervous system regenerative cells discovered so far. It is characterized by its lifelong nerve regeneration function, and it can also release a variety of neurotrophic factors and neural adhesion molecules. It is considered to be the glial cell with the strongest myelination ability. Olfactory ensheathing cells and Schwann cells have phenotypes in common, they can promote axon regeneration(R. Doucette, 1995). Olfactory ensheathing cells have the characteristics of Schwann cells and astrocytes, but the overall performance tends to be the former, which has two unique characteristics. First, it exists not only in the peripheral nerves (Schwann cells), but also in the central nervous system (astroglia); second, the olfactory mucosa has the ability to regenerate life-long, including human olfactory ensheathing cells(J. C. Bartolomei and C. A. Greer, 2000). Regeneration is a process in which olfactory ensheathing cells participate in efficient regulation, although the specific mechanism is not yet clear. Olfactory ensheathing cells are different from astrocytes and Schwann cells, but at the same time have the characteristics of these two cells(S. C. Barnett, 2004), like Schwann cells help axon growth, but more than Schwann cells It can make axons grow long distances, that is, it has stronger migration(A. Ramon-Cueto et al., 1998); there are also astrocytes that have a nutritional effect on the survival of neurons and the growth of axons, but olfactory ensheathing cells can also wrap neurons forms myelin sheath to support the growth of nerve processes(R. Devon and R. Doucette, 1992; J. Gu et al., 2019). There are two characteristics that make olfactory ensheathing cells the best choice for the treatment of neurological diseases(S. C. Chiu et al., 2009; J. Kim et al., 2018; M. Abdel-Rahman et al., 2018). Olfactory ensheathing cells are gradually used to treat spinal cord injuries and have shown amazing effects(J. C. Bartolomei and C. A. Greer, 2000; K. J. Liu et al., 2010; R. Yao et al., 2018). Olfactory ensheathing cells that have been used in research are usually derived from the olfactory bulb(E. H. Franssen et al., 2007), but it is easier to obtain olfactory ensheathing cells from the olfactory mucosa in clinical practice(M. Ryszard et al., 2006), so the difference between the olfactory ensheathing cells from the olfactory bulb and the olfactory mucosa There are more and more studies(B. M. U. et al., 2007), and previous studies have shown that they not only have many similar functions, but also have many differences(M. W. Richter et al., 2005; L. Wang et al., 2014; K. E. Smith et al., 2020). Because olfactory ensheathing cells derived from the olfactory bulb are not easy to obtain, olfactory ensheathing cells derived from the olfactory mucosa have become the focus of attention. Although we know that olfactory ensheathing cells from two sources have nerve repair functions, it is not clear why the two different sources of olfactory ensheathing cells have different therapeutic effects. Nicolas G. once studied that the genetic difference between the two cells and found that there are many genes related to wound repair and nerve regeneration(G. Nicolas et al., 2010). We have reason to guess that olfactory ensheathing cells from these two sources will also have a large difference in protein level. Our research group wants to use the current mature transcriptome and proteomic sequencing technologies to explore the difference between olfactory ensheathing cells from the olfactory bulb and olfactory mucosa, and explain why the two sources of olfactory ensheathing cells shows different therapeutic effects, hope to provide a new theoretical basis for future clinical treatment.

Project description:Here we performed single cell RNA sequencing of manually sorted olfactory bulb dopaminergic neurons with the goal of studying the transcriptomic basis of neuronal plasticity. Acute olfactory bulb 300 µm slices were obtained from Dat-Cre/Flox-tdTomato (B6.SJL-Slc6a3tm1.1(cre) Bkmn/J, Jax stock 006660 / B6.Cg– Gt(ROSA)26Sortm9(CAG-tdTomato)Hze, Jax stock 007909) juvenile mice. Single cell suspensions were generated using the Neural Tissue Dissociation Kit – Postnatal Neurons (Miltenyi Biotec. Cat no. 130-094-802). Dopaminergic neurons were identified by red fluorescence and manually sorted into individual wells. Analysis of the effects of the transcriptomic changes relating to neuronal plasticity triggered by sensory deprivation is ongoing.

Project description:The modified DNA base 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) is enriched in neurons where it may contribute to gene function and cellular identity. To address this issue in an in vivo neuronal population, we assessed the patterning, stability, and function of the base within gene bodies in olfactory sensory neurons. We find that gene body 5hmC linearly correlates with transcriptional output and is stable in fully mature neurons and those lacking de novo methyltransferase activity. Overexpression of Tet3, which oxidizes methylated cytosines (5mC) to 5hmC, markedly alters gene body 5hmC levels and provides evidence that 5hmC facilitates transcription. This manipulation disrupts olfactory receptor expression and the targeting of axons to the olfactory bulb, key molecular and anatomical features of the olfactory system that are necessary for proper physiology. Our results support a direct, positive and physiologically significant role for gene body 5hmC in transcriptional elongation and the maintenance of cellular identity independent of its function as an intermediate to demethylation. We assessed the role of 5hmC in mature olfactory sensory neurons by assessing 5hmC levels in 2 month old neurons, olfactory epithelia lacking Dnmt3a, and mOSNs overexpressing Tet3. To determine genome-wide levels of 5hmC, we performed DNA immunoprecipitation coupled to Illumina sequencing. To determine transcript levels, we prepared and sequenced rRNA-depleted cDNA libraries.
