Project description:Purpose: The cellular composition of the trigeminal ganglion is altered in the mouse model of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (the LgDel mouse). The goal of this study is to use RNA-seq to identify transcriptional differences in the embryonic day 10.5 trigeminal ganglion that prefigure changes in mature cell identity in this cranial nerve ganglion. Methods: Trigeminal ganglion mRNA profiles of E10.5 trigeminal ganglia from WT and LgDel mice were generated by deep sequencing. Ganglia samples were prepared as pools of at least 6 ganglia each, from at least 3 embryos. 5 biological replicates of LgDel and WT pools were sequenced. Paired-end libraries were constructed according to the Illumina protocol for the HiSeq2000 platform. Each pooled CNgV RNA sample, defined as a single biological replicate, was fragmented prior to cDNA conversion to ensure transcript coverage. WT (n = 5 replicates) and LgDel (n = 5 replicates) were subjected to sequencing (~100 million paired-end reads/replicate, 100 bp read length) on the Illumina HiSeq2000 platform. Quality-filtered reads were aligned against the mouse reference genome (GRCm38/mm10) using HISAT2 (v.2.1.0). These alignments were indexed using SAMtools (v.1.4) and aligned reads assembled into transcripts using Cufflinks (v.2.2.1) (58). Differential expression analysis was performed using Cufflinks. Validation of key transcriptional differences was performed by SYBR Green qPCR. Results: For WT RNA-Seq, 111–123 million paired-end reads were generated after QC filtering, and 97.3–97.9% of the reads aligned to the mouse genome reference sequence. For LgDel RNA-Seq, 77–137 million paired-end reads were generated after QC filtering, and 94.3–97.8% of the reads aligned to the mouse genome reference sequence. LgDel versus wild-type (WT) CNgV transcriptomes differ significantly at E10.5 just after the ganglion has coalesced. Some changes parallel altered proportions of cranial placode versus cranial neural crest-derived CNgV cells. Others are consistent with a shift in anterior–posterior patterning associated with divergent LgDel cranial nerve differentiation. The most robust quantitative distinction, however, is statistically verifiable increased variability of expression levels for most of the over 17 000 genes expressed in common in LgDel versus WT CNgV. Conclusions: Quantitative expression changes of functionally relevant genes and increased stochastic variation across the entire CNgV transcriptome at the onset of CN V differentiation prefigure subsequent disruption of cranial nerve differentiation and oropharyngeal function in LgDel mice.

Project description:LgDel mice, which model the heterozygous deletion of genes at human chromosome 22q11.2 associated with DiGeorge/22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS), have cranial nerve and craniofacial dysfunction as well as disrupted suckling, feeding and swallowing, similar to key 22q11DS phenotypes. Divergent trigeminal nerve (CN V) differentiation and altered trigeminal ganglion (CNgV) cellular composition prefigure these disruptions in LgDel embryos. We therefore asked whether a distinct transcriptional state in a specific population of early differentiating LgDel cranial sensory neurons, those in CNgV, a major source of innervation for appropriate oropharyngeal function, underlies this departure from typical development. LgDel versus wild-type (WT) CNgV transcriptomes differ significantly at E10.5 just after the ganglion has coalesced. Some changes parallel altered proportions of cranial placode versus cranial neural crest-derived CNgV cells. Others are consistent with a shift in anterior-posterior patterning associated with divergent LgDel cranial nerve differentiation. The most robust quantitative distinction, however, is statistically verifiable increased variability of expression levels for most of the over 17?000 genes expressed in common in LgDel versus WT CNgV. Thus, quantitative expression changes of functionally relevant genes and increased stochastic variation across the entire CNgV transcriptome at the onset of CN V differentiation prefigure subsequent disruption of cranial nerve differentiation and oropharyngeal function in LgDel mice.

Project description:Mice lacking the POU-domain transcription factor Brn3a exhibit marked defects in sensory axon growth and abnormal sensory apoptosis. We have determined the regulatory targets of Brn3a in the developing trigeminal ganglion using microarray analysis of Brn3a mutant mice. These results show that Brn3 mediates the coordinated expression of neurotransmitter systems, ion channels, structural components of axons and inter- and intracellular signaling systems. Loss of Brn3a also results in the ectopic expression of transcription factors normally detected in earlier developmental stages and in other areas of the nervous system. Target gene expression is normal in heterozygous mice, consistent with prior work showing that autoregulation by Brn3a results in gene dosage compensation. Detailed examination of the expression of several of these downstream genes reveals that the regulatory role of Brn3a in the trigeminal ganglion appears to be conserved in more posterior sensory ganglia but not in the CNS neurons that express this factor.

Project description:General somatic sensation is conveyed to the central nervous system at cranial levels by the trigeminal ganglion (TG), and at spinal levels by the dorsal root ganglia (DRG). Although these ganglia have similar functions, they have distinct embryological origins, in that both contain neurons originating from the neural crest, while only the TG includes cells derived from the placodal ectoderm. Here we use microarray analysis of E13.5 embryos to demonstrate that the developing DRG and TG have very similar overall patterns of gene expression. In mice lacking the POU-domain transcription factor Brn3a the DRG and TG exhibit many common changes in downstream gene expression, but a subset of genes show increased expression only at cranial levels. Although silent in wild-type ganglia, the promoter regions of genes which are activated in the absence of Brn3a also exhibit increased histone H3-acetylation at levels similar to constitutively transcribed gene loci, and this H3-acetylation is tissue-specific for genes which are increased only in the TG. These results demonstrate that one developmental role of Brn3a is to repress potential differences in gene expression between sensory neurons generated at different axial levels, and to regulate a convergent program of developmental gene expression, in which functionally similar populations of neurons are generated from different embryological substrates. Experiment Overall Design: Microarrays used to compare the patterns of gene expression in the dorsal root ganglia and trigeminal ganglia of Brn3a knockout and wild-type mice. Embryonic day 13.5 (E13.5) was chosen because at this point in development mutant mice exhibit major defects in sensory axon growth, but have yet to undergo the period of extensive sensory neuron death associated with later stages.

Project description:Expression of DREAM in dorsal root ganglia and spinal cord is related to endogenous control mechanisms of acute and chronic pain. In primary sensory trigeminal neurons high levels of endogenous DREAM protein are preferentially localized in the nucleus, suggesting a major transcriptional role. Here, we show that DREAM participates in the control of trigeminal pain perception through the regulation of prodynorphin and BDNF. Furthermore, genome-wide analysis of trigeminal neurons in daDREAM transgenic mice revealed that cathepsin L (CTSL) and the monoglyceride lipase (MGLL) are new DREAM downstream targets and have a role in the regulation of trigeminal nociception.

Project description:Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a type of neuropathic pain caused by injury to sensory nerves, manifesting as severe paroxysmal pain of the head and face. Trigeminal neuralgia brings a huge burden to patients, without long-term effective treatment. Changes in the expression of pain-related genes in the whole blood samples of patients play an important role in the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and evaluation of treatment effects of trigeminal neuralgia. To better understand the mechanism of trigeminal neuralgia, we collect the whole blood samples from the trigeminal neuralgia patients and the pain-free healthy comparisons. RNA-seq was conducted between the two groups to find the transcriptome changes in patients with trigeminal neuralgia.

Project description:Dysfunction of the thalamocortical pathway has been implicated in multiple psychiatric disorders, but mechanisms by which these defects emerge remain poorly understood. We explored this question in the context of the 22q11.2 microdeletion, which represents a significant genetic risk for schizophrenia, leveraging emerging technologies of in vitro brain organogenesis using chimeric brain organoids derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells. Here we show that the 22q11.2 microdeletion leads to transcriptional dysregulation in thalamic organoids that is enriched for psychiatric disease risk genes, including elevated expression of FOXP2, which represents the most significantly dysregulated transcription factor in glutamatergic neurons and astroctyes. In a co-culture model fusing thalamic and cortical organoids, we demonstrate that the 22q11.2 deletion mediates an overgrowth of thalamic axons via overexpression of FOXP2, which then subsequently mediates the overgrowth of reciprocal corticothalamic axons. Dysregulation of FOXP2 leads to downregulation of ROBO2, an axon repulsive receptor important for thalamocortical axon pathfinding, and knockdown of ROBO2 in control organoids phenocopies excessive outgrowth of thalamic axons. Together, our study suggests that early steps in thalamocortical pathway development may be dysregulated in a model of genetic risk for schizophrenia, and contribute to neural phenotypes in 22q11.2 microdeletion syndrome.

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.
