Transcriptional profile of spinal dynorphin-lineage interneurons in the developing mouse

Abstract

Mounting evidence suggests that the spinal dorsal horn (SDH) contains multiple subpopulations of inhibitory interneurons that play distinct roles in somatosensory processing, as exemplified by the importance of spinal dynorphin-expressing neurons for the suppression of mechanical pain and chemical itch. Although it is clear that GABAergic transmission in the SDH undergoes significant alterations during early postnatal development, little is known about the maturation of discrete inhibitory “microcircuits” within the region. As a result, the goal of this study was to elucidate the gene expression profile of spinal dynorphin (pDyn)-lineage neurons throughout life. We isolated nuclear RNA specifically from pDyn-lineage SDH interneurons at postnatal days 7, 21, and 80 using the Isolation of Nuclei Tagged in Specific Cell Types (INTACT) technique, followed by RNA-seq analysis. Over 650 genes were ≥2-fold enriched in adult pDyn nuclei compared with non-pDyn spinal cord nuclei, including targets with known relevance to pain such as galanin (Gal), prepronociceptin (Pnoc), and nitric oxide synthase 1 (Nos1). In addition, the gene encoding a membrane-bound guanylate cyclase, Gucy2d, was identified as a novel and highly selective marker of the pDyn population within the SDH. Differential gene expression analysis comparing pDyn nuclei across the 3 ages revealed sets of genes that were significantly upregulated (such as Cartpt, encoding cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript peptide) or downregulated (including Npbwr1, encoding the receptor for neuropeptides B/W) during postnatal development. Collectively, these results provide new insight into the potential molecular mechanisms underlying the known age-dependent changes in spinal nociceptive processing and pain sensitivity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
