In mice dorsal root ganglia (DRG), some neurons express calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) without substance P (SP; CGRP(+) SP(-) ). The projections and functions of these neurons are unknown. Therefore, we combined in vitro axonal tracing with multiple-labeling immunohistochemistry to neurochemically define these neurons and characterize their peripheral and central projections. Cervical spinal cord, DRG, and forepaw skin were removed from C57Bl/6 mice and multiple-labeled for CGRP, SP, and either marker for the sensory neuron subpopulations transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1), neurofilament 200 (NF200), or vesicular glutamate transporter 2 (VGluT1). To determine central projections of CGRP(+) SP(-) neurons, Neurobiotin (NB) was applied to the C7 ventral ramus and visualized in DRG and spinal cord sections colabeled for CGRP and SP. Half (50%) of the CGRP-immunoreactive DRG neurons lacked detectable SP and had a mean soma size of 473 ± 14 μm(2) (n = 5); 89% of the CGRP(+) SP(-) neurons expressed NF200 (n = 5), but only 32% expressed TRPV1 (n = 5). Cutaneous CGRP(+) SP(-) fibers were numerous within dermal papillae and around hair shafts (n = 4). CGRP(+) SP(-) boutons were prevalent in lateral lamina I and in lamina IV/V of the dorsal horn (n = 5). NB predominantly labeled fibers penetrating lamina IV/V, 6 ± 3% contained CGRP (n = 5), and 21 ± 2% contained VGluT1 (n = 3). CGRP(+) SP(-) afferent neurons are likely to be non-nociceptive. Their soma size, neurochemical profile, and peripheral and central targets suggest that CGRP(+) SP(-) neurons are polymodal mechanoceptors.

View all literature mentionsTHIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on May 5,2022.Tool that predicts interactions between transcription factors and their regulated genes from binding motifs. Understanding vertebrate development requires unraveling the cis-regulatory architecture of gene regulation. PRISM provides accurate genome-wide computational predictions of transcription factor binding sites for the human and mouse genomes, and integrates the predictions with GREAT to provide functional biological context. Together, accurate computational binding site prediction and GREAT produce for each transcription factor: 1. putative binding sites, 2. putative target genes, 3. putative biological roles of the transcription factor, and 4. putative cis-regulatory elements through which the factor regulates each target in each functional role.
