Single-cell multi-omic sequencing reveals cell-specific transcriptomic and chromatin accessibility profiles in gut microbiome metabolite butyrate-produced pain modulation

Listed in NCBI GEO

Pain is a predominant symptom of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, presenting significant clinical challenges due to their complexity and limited treatment options.

Description

This study investigated the therapeutic potential of butyrate, a gut microbiome metabolite, in a complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA)-induced mouse model of TMJ inflammatory pain. Butyrate administration significantly alleviated TMJ pain and restored butyrate levels in mouse feces, plasma, and the spinal trigeminal nucleus caudalis (Sp5C).

Additionally, it reversed TMJ pain-induced reductions in acetylation within Sp5C neurons, a critical epigenetic mechanism linked to pain states. Utilizing single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) and single-nucleus ATAC sequencing (snATAC-seq), we profiled transcriptional and chromatin accessibility changes at the single-cell level.
