Definitions
- the present invention relates to an odorant receptor based odorant sensor system and related methods.
- systems and methods are provided permitting detection and discrimination of an odorant molecule in a vapor/gaseous phase using a panel of odorant receptors expressed in heterologous cells.
- Mammals are capable of detecting and discriminating a large number of volatile chemicals. Fundamentally, this relies on the interaction of odorant molecules and olfactory receptors (ORs), which transduce signals via cAMP-mediated pathways.
- ORs olfactory receptors
- Previous methods only allow for the measurement of OR-mediated cAMP responses to odorants dissolved in a media. It is desirable for a detection system/methods that allow for the detection of odorants in a vapor phase. Such systems and methods would allow for the measurement of OR activation in more realistic settings, which in turn are useful to screen ligands and antagonists. Further, such systems and methods would be useful as OR-based volatile sensor arrays that could be used to detect specific volatiles, including explosives, solvents for explosives, illegal drugs, spoiled food and malodors.
- the present invention addresses this need.
- OR-based odorant sensor system permitting detection and discrimination of an odorant molecule in a vapor/gaseous phase.
- OR-based odorant sensor system it was shown that 1) volatile compound vapors were capable of activating ORs expressed in heterologous cells, 2) each OR demonstrated unique thresholds and dynamic ranges against different odorants, 3) similar odorants were discriminated, and 4) enhanced odorant responses were detected in the presence of odorant binding proteins (OBPs).
- OBPs odorant binding proteins
- the present disclosure relates to an odorant receptor based odorant sensor system and related methods.
- systems and methods are provided permitting detection and discrimination of an odorant molecule in a vapor/gaseous phase using a panel of odorant receptors expressed in heterologous cells.
- the present invention provides methods of identifying at least one odorant receptor responding at least one odorant molecule in a vapor/gaseous phase comprising the steps of:
- a biological sample comprising cells expressing at least one odorant receptor and exposing the biological sample to at least one test compound in a vapor/gaseous phase;
- step c) comparing the measured level of activation of one of the odorant receptors determined in step b) to a reference activation level for the specific odorant receptor determined in the same conditions with a negative control where the biological sample has not been exposed to the at least one test compound in a vapor/gaseous phase.
- the present invention provides methods of identifying at least one odorant receptor responding at least one odorant molecule in a vapor/gaseous phase comprising the steps of:
- a biological sample comprising cells expressing at least one odorant receptor having been exposed to at least one test compound in a vapor/gaseous phase

- Odor perception in mammals is a complex process mediated by the activation of ORs expressed at the cilia of millions of olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) lining the olfactory epithelium (see, e.g., L. Buck, R. Axel, Cell 65, 175 (Apr. 5, 1991); S. Firestein, Nature 413, 211 (2001)).
- OSNs olfactory sensory neurons
- ORs which are Class A GPCRs, interact with the stimulatory G protein G ⁇ olf .
- G ⁇ olf from the ⁇ subunit then activates type III adenylyl cyclase (ACIII), an enzyme that rapidly catalyzes the cyclization of AMP (see, e.g., L. B. Buck, Annual review of neuroscience 19, 517 (1996); G. M. Shepherd, Neuron 13, 771 (October, 1994); R. R. Reed, Neuron 8, 205 (February, 1992); D. Lancet, N. Ben-Arie, Curr Biol 3, 668 (Oct. 1, 1993)).
- a rise in cytosolic cAMP triggers the activation of cAMP-gated Ca 2+ channels, ultimately resulting in membrane depolarization and action-potential generation.
- ORs that are N-terminally-tagged with the first 20 amino acids of rhodopsin are frequently used in heterologous cells because Rho-tag enhances the membrane targeting of some ORs (see, e.g., D. Krautwurst, K. W. Yau, R. R. Reed, Cell 95, 917 (1998)).

Milligan, Biochim Biophys Acta 1768, 825 (April, 2007); S. C. Prinster, C. Hague, R. A. Hall, Pharmacol Rev 57, 289 (Sep. 1, 2005)).

- heteromerizaton of GABA B R1 and GABA B R2 is required for the proper trafficking of GABA B receptors in neurons (see, e.g., F. H. Marshall, Current Opinion in Pharmacology 1, 40 (2001)).

In particular, systems and methods are provided permitting detection and discrimination of an odorant molecule in a vapor/gaseous phase using a panel of odorant receptors expressed in heterologous cells.
Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 16/345,878, filed Apr. 29, 2019, now allowed as U.S. Pat. No. 11,029,308, which is a 371 National Entry of PCT/US2017/058797 filed Oct. 27, 2017, which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62/413,549, filed Oct. 27, 2016.
- This invention was made with Government Support under Federal Grant Nos. DC014423 and DC012095 awarded by the NIH. The Government has certain rights to this invention.
- The present invention relates to an odorant receptor based odorant sensor system and related methods. In particular, systems and methods are provided permitting detection and discrimination of an odorant molecule in a vapor/gaseous phase using a panel of odorant receptors expressed in heterologous cells.
- Mammals are capable of detecting and discriminating a large number of volatile chemicals. Fundamentally, this relies on the interaction of odorant molecules and olfactory receptors (ORs), which transduce signals via cAMP-mediated pathways. Previous methods only allow for the measurement of OR-mediated cAMP responses to odorants dissolved in a media. It is desirable for a detection system/methods that allow for the detection of odorants in a vapor phase. Such systems and methods would allow for the measurement of OR activation in more realistic settings, which in turn are useful to screen ligands and antagonists. Further, such systems and methods would be useful as OR-based volatile sensor arrays that could be used to detect specific volatiles, including explosives, solvents for explosives, illegal drugs, spoiled food and malodors.
- The present invention addresses this need.
- Experiments conducted during the course of developing embodiments of the present disclosure demonstrated an OR-based odorant sensor system permitting detection and discrimination of an odorant molecule in a vapor/gaseous phase. Within such an OR-based odorant sensor system, it was shown that 1) volatile compound vapors were capable of activating ORs expressed in heterologous cells, 2) each OR demonstrated unique thresholds and dynamic ranges against different odorants, 3) similar odorants were discriminated, and 4) enhanced odorant responses were detected in the presence of odorant binding proteins (OBPs).
- Accordingly, the present disclosure relates to an odorant receptor based odorant sensor system and related methods. In particular, systems and methods are provided permitting detection and discrimination of an odorant molecule in a vapor/gaseous phase using a panel of odorant receptors expressed in heterologous cells.
- In certain embodiments, the present invention provides methods of identifying at least one odorant receptor responding at least one odorant molecule in a vapor/gaseous phase comprising the steps of:
- a) providing a biological sample comprising cells expressing at least one odorant receptor and exposing the biological sample to at least one test compound in a vapor/gaseous phase;
- b) measuring a signal that is proportional to activation of one of the odorant receptors in the biological sample, and
- c) comparing the measured level of activation of one of the odorant receptors determined in step b) to a reference activation level for the specific odorant receptor determined in the same conditions with a negative control where the biological sample has not been exposed to the at least one test compound in a vapor/gaseous phase.
- In certain embodiments, the present invention provides methods of identifying at least one odorant receptor responding at least one odorant molecule in a vapor/gaseous phase comprising the steps of:
- a) providing a biological sample comprising cells expressing at least one odorant receptor having been exposed to at least one test compound in a vapor/gaseous phase;
- b) measuring a signal that is proportional to activation of one of the odorant receptors in the biological sample, and
- c) comparing the measured level of activation of one of the odorant receptors determined in step b) to a reference activation level for the specific odorant receptor determined in the same conditions with a negative control where the biological sample has not been exposed to the at least one test compound in a vapor/gaseous phase.
- In such embodiments, when the level of activation determined in step b) in the biological sample after exposure to at least one test compound in a vapor/gaseous phase is higher than the level of activation determined in the same conditions with a negative control without exposure to the test compound in a vapor/gaseous phase, this indicates that said at least one test compound in a vapor/gaseous phase constitutes a ligand acting as an agonist for said at least one odorant receptor.
- In such embodiments, when the level of activation determined in step b) in the biological sample after exposure to at least one test compound in a vapor/gaseous phase is lower than the level of activation determined in the same conditions with a negative control without exposure to the test compound in a vapor/gaseous phase, this indicates that said at least one test compound in a vapor/gaseous phase constitutes a ligand acting as an antagonist for said at least one odorant receptor.
- Such methods are not limited to specific odorant receptors. Indeed, the odorant receptors can be human, murine, mammalian, and any mixture thereof.
- In some embodiments, the one or more odorant receptors is selected from the group consisting of MOR129, MOR103, olfr476, olfr491, olfr1104, olfr502, olfr1062, olfr919, olfr1079, olfr876, olfr556, olfr979, olfr962, olfr145, olfr889, olfr1484, olfr978, olfr1512, olfr1411, olfr109, olfr1377, olfr124, olfr992, olfr549, olfr1364, olfr1370, olfr90, olfr1093, olfr167, olfr211, olfr2(I7), OR-S6, Olfr62, S6/79, S18, S46, S50, MOR23-1, MOR31-4, MOR31-6, MOR32-5 and MOR32-11.

- Articles “a” and “an” are used herein to refer to one or to more than one (i.e. at least one) of the grammatical object of the article. By way of example, “an element” means at least one element and can include more than one element.
- As used herein, the terms “subject” and “patient” refer to any animal, such as a mammal like a dog, cat, bird, livestock, and preferably a human. Specific examples of “subjects” and “patients” include, but are not limited to, individuals with an olfactory disorder, and individuals with olfactory disorder-related characteristics or symptoms.
- As used herewith, “G protein-coupled receptor proteins (GPCRs)”, also known as “seven-transmembrane domain receptors”, “7TM receptors”, “heptahelical receptors”, “serpentine receptors”, and “G protein-linked receptors (GPLR)”, designate a large protein family of receptors that sense molecules outside the cell and activate, inside the cell, signal transductions pathways and, ultimately, cellular responses. GPCRs are found in eukaryotes, including yeast and animals. The ligands that bind and activate these receptors include light-sensitive compounds, odors, pheromones, hormones, and neurotransmitters, and vary in size from small molecules to peptides to large proteins.
- As used herewith, the terms “olfactory receptors” designate the receptors expressed in the cell membranes of olfactory sensory neurons responsible for the detection of chemical cues. Activated olfactory receptors are the initial player in a signal transduction cascade which ultimately produces a nerve impulse which is transmitted to the brain. Most of these receptors are members of the GPCR superfamily. The olfactory receptors form a multigene family consisting of about 400 potentially functional genes in humans and about 1250 genes in mice. Olfactory receptors are generally categorized, in mammals, into several receptor families including odorant receptors (ORs), vomeronasal receptors (V1Rs and V2Rs), trace amine-associated receptors (TAARs), formyl peptide receptors (FPRs), and the membrane guanyl cyclase GC-D.
- As used herein, the term “odorant receptor” refers to odorant receptors generated from olfactory sensory neurons. Examples of odorant receptors include, but are not limited to, OR-S6, Olfr62, S6/79, S18, S46, S50, MOR23-1, MOR31-4, MOR31-6, MOR32-5 and MOR32-11. Additional examples of odorant receptors (e.g., human) are described in, for example, U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2017/0052170 and U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2017/0285009

- As used herein, the term “odorant receptor cell surface localization” or equivalent terms refer to the molecular transport of an odorant receptor to a cell surface membrane. Examples of cell surface localization include, but are not limited to, localization to cilia at the tip of a dendrite, and localization to an axon terminal.
- The term “olfactory stimulus” or “odorant” as used herein comprises any molecule, or group of molecules, volatile or not, aqueous soluble or not, gaseous or not gaseous, that could interact with an olfactory receptor system such as an olfactory receptor in vivo or an olfactory receptor in vitro expressed in a cell or a tissue. The sources and the identity of pleasant and unpleasant odorants are very diverse. Olfactory stimuli can be molecules such as alkanes, esters, linear terpenes, cyclic terpenes, aromatic, amines, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, lactones, thiols, gases. Examples of olfactory stimuli include unpleasant body odors such as those found in breath (methanethiol, hydrogen sulfide, dimethyl sulfide, etc), on the feet (propanoic acid, isovaleric acid, etc), or on the armpits ((E)-3-methyl-2-hexenoic acid, (S)-3-methyl-3-sulfanylhexan-1-ol, 3-hydroxy-3-methylhexanoic acid, propionic acid, androstenone, etc).
- As used herein, the term “odorant receptor functional expression” or equivalent terms, refer to an odorant receptor's ability to interact with an odorant receptor ligand (e.g., an odiferous molecule).
- Recitation of ranges of values herein are merely intended to serve as a shorthand method of referring individually to each separate value falling within the range, unless otherwise indicated herein, and each separate value is incorporated into the specification as if it were individually recited herein. All methods described herein can be performed in any suitable order unless otherwise indicated herein or otherwise clearly contradicted by context. The use of any and all examples, or exemplary language (e.g., “such as”) provided herein, is intended merely to better illuminate the invention and does not pose a limitation on the scope of the invention unless otherwise claimed. No language in the specification should be construed as indicating any nonclaimed element as essential to the practice of the invention.
- It also is understood that any numerical range recited herein includes all values from the lower value to the upper value. For example, if a concentration range is stated as 1% to 50%, it is intended that values such as 2% to 40%, 10% to 30%, or 1% to 3%, etc., are expressly enumerated in this specification. These are only examples of what is specifically intended, and all possible combinations of numerical values between and including the lowest value and the highest value enumerated are to be considered to be expressly stated in this application.
- Odor perception in mammals is a complex process mediated by the activation of ORs expressed at the cilia of millions of olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) lining the olfactory epithelium (see, e.g., L. Buck, R. Axel, Cell 65, 175 (Apr. 5, 1991); S. Firestein, Nature 413, 211 (2001)). Upon activation by cognate odorants, ORs, which are Class A GPCRs, interact with the stimulatory G protein Gαolf. Release of Gαolf from the βγ subunit then activates type III adenylyl cyclase (ACIII), an enzyme that rapidly catalyzes the cyclization of AMP (see, e.g., L. B. Buck, Annual review of neuroscience 19, 517 (1996); G. M. Shepherd, Neuron 13, 771 (October, 1994); R. R. Reed,
Neuron 8, 205 (February, 1992); D. Lancet, N. Ben-Arie,Curr Biol 3, 668 (Oct. 1, 1993)). A rise in cytosolic cAMP triggers the activation of cAMP-gated Ca2+ channels, ultimately resulting in membrane depolarization and action-potential generation. - While the above pathways for OR activation has been the established paradigm for OR signalling, others have proposed that some odors activate a secondary signaling pathway that involves the secondary messenger IP3, but the molecular mechanisms through which the IP3 pathway is activated is not well understood (see, e.g., K. Klasen et al., Cell Signal 22, 150 (January); I. Boekhoff, E. Tareilus, J. Strotmann, H. Breer,
Embo J 9, 2453 (August, 1990)) and is complicated by the heterogeneity of ORs. - This heterogeneity is part due to existence of a large mammalian OR repertoire: more than 350 human and 1000 mouse ORs have been identified thus far. While much is now known about the ligand specificity of other GPCRs, the odor discrimination and specificity of most ORs remain poorly characterized, despite the fact that mammalian ORs were discovered more than 15 years ago (see, e.g., L. Buck, R. Axel, Cell 65, 175 (Apr. 5, 1991)).
- Evidence thus far suggests that odor recognition in mammals depends on complex receptor-ligand interactions that result in the activation of a repertoire of ORs expressed by defined subsets of OSNs (see, e.g., B. Malnic, J. Hirono, T. Sato, L. B. Buck, Cell 96, 713 (Mar. 5, 1999); H. Saito, Q. Chi, H. Zhuang, H. Matsunami, J. D. Mainland,
Sci Signal 2, ra9 (2009)). Efforts toward understanding OR-ligand interactions have been impeded by poor OR activation in heterologous cell systems. Several cofactors are now used, in combination, to improve OR activation in heterologous cells (see, e.g., P. Mombaerts, Nat Rev Neurosci 5, 263 (April, 2004); L. E. Von Dannecker, A. F. Mercadante, B. Malnic, Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 103, 9310 (Jun. 13, 2006)). For example, it has been previously demonstrated that coexpressing transmembrane, olfactory-specific Receptor Transporting Proteins RTP1 and RTP2 along with ORs in HEK293T cells significantly increase the functional cell-surface expression of ORs (see, e.g., H. Saito, M. Kubota, R. W. Roberts, Q. Chi, H. Matsunami, Cell 119, 679 (Nov. 24, 2004); H. Zhuang, H. Matsunami, J Biol Chem 282, 15284 (May 18, 2007); U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,425,445, 7,838,288, 7,691,592; U.S. Patent Application Publication Nos. 2010/0222561, 2009/0124003, 2009/0092997). ORs that are N-terminally-tagged with the first 20 amino acids of rhodopsin (Rho-tag) are frequently used in heterologous cells because Rho-tag enhances the membrane targeting of some ORs (see, e.g., D. Krautwurst, K. W. Yau, R. R. Reed, Cell 95, 917 (1998)). - In addition to the accessory factors mentioned above, it has been found that the cell-surface expression of one receptor, OR-M71, can be enhanced when non-OR GPCRs, including the beta2-adrenergic receptor β2AR and purinergic receptor P2Y1, are coexpressed in HEK293 cells. However, this enhancement applies only to OR-M71 and a closely related receptor, but not to other ORs (see, e.g., C. Hague et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 101, 13672 (Sep. 14, 2004); C. F. Bush et al., J Biol Chem 282, 19042 (Jun. 29, 2007)). These findings have led to dramatic improvements in OR activation in vitro, and more importantly, support the idea that ORs do not function alone, but require a number of accessory proteins.
- While GPCR heteromerization is not well-understood, such interactions have been shown to be essential for the function of a number of GPCRs through a variety of mechanisms (see, e.g., G. Milligan, Biochim Biophys Acta 1768, 825 (April, 2007); S. C. Prinster, C. Hague, R. A. Hall, Pharmacol Rev 57, 289 (Sep. 1, 2005)). For example, heteromerizaton of GABABR1 and GABABR2 is required for the proper trafficking of GABAB receptors in neurons (see, e.g., F. H. Marshall, Current Opinion in
Pharmacology 1, 40 (2001)). In other instances, however, heteromer formation appears to regulate GPCR signaling. For example, heteromerization is required for the reciprocal modulation of beta2-adrenergic receptors β2AR andangiotensin II type 1 AT1 receptors in cardiomyocytes. When β2AR activity is blocked, the ATI receptor is functionally decoupled from Gq, independent of angiotensin binding. Conversely, when the AT1 receptor is blocked, the β2AR is decoupled from Gs, leading to the loss of downstream cAMP signaling (see, e.g., L. Luttrell,Molecular Biotechnology 39, 239 (2008); L. Barki-Harrington, L. M. Luttrell, H. A. Rockman. (2003), vol. 108, pp. 1611-1618). However, apart from several other accepted examples, the general physiological significance of GPCR heteromers has been debated in some cases (see, e.g., G. Milligan, Biochim Biophys Acta 1768, 825 (April, 2007); M. Chabre, M. le Maire, Biochemistry 44, 9395 (2005); S. AbdAlla, H. Lother, U. Quitterer, Nature 407, 94 (Sep. 7, 2000); J. L. Hansen et al., J Biol Chem 284, 1831 (Jan. 16, 2009)). - As noted, experiments conducted during the course of developing embodiments of the present disclosure demonstrated an OR-based odorant sensor system permitting detection and discrimination of an odorant molecule in a vapor/gaseous phase. Within such an OR-based odorant sensor system, it was shown that 1) volatile compound vapors were capable of activating ORs expressed in heterologous cells, 2) each OR demonstrated unique thresholds and dynamic ranges against different odorants, 3) similar odorants were discriminated, and 4) enhanced odorant responses were detected in the presence of odorant binding proteins (OBPs).
- Accordingly, the present invention relates to an odorant receptor based odorant sensor system and related methods. In particular, systems and methods are provided permitting detection and discrimination of an odorant molecule in a vapor/gaseous phase using a panel of odorant receptors expressed in heterologous cells.
- The present invention is not limited to specific aspects of the odorant receptor based odorant sensor system and related methods. For example, in some embodiments, the odorant receptor based odorant sensor system includes cells or cell lines expressing one or more odorant receptors wherein such odorant receptors are capable of being activated upon exposure to an odorant molecule being in a vapor/gaseous phase.
- In one aspect, the cells and cell lines of the invention are suitable for use in a cell-based assay. Such cells and cell lines provide consistent and reproducible expression of the one or more odorant receptors of interest over time and, thus, are particularly advantageous in such assays.
- In some embodiments, the odorant receptor based odorant sensor system and related methods can be used within methods for identifying the presence of a specific odorant molecule in a vapor/gaseous phase through detecting activation of an odorant receptor known to be activated in the presence of the specific odorant.
- In some embodiments, the odorant receptor based odorant sensor system and related methods can be used within methods for “deorphanizing” an odorant receptor, i.e. identifying at least one ligand of at least one odorant receptor and, thus, identifying the members of at least one ligand/odorant receptor pair.
- The term “ligand” or “chemical stimulus” as used herein refers to a molecule that can bind an odorant receptor and modulate (activate or inhibit) the function of said odorant receptor. It follows that a ligand can modulate the downstream signaling activities of its cognate chemoreceptor (e.g., a GPCR) and/or the global olfactory response in the specific case of an olfactory receptor. When a molecule activates a chemoreceptor (e.g., odorant receptor), it is qualified as “agonist” of said receptor. When a molecule inhibits the activation by an agonist of its cognate chemoreceptor, said molecule is qualified as “antagonist” of said receptor. A ligand for a chemoreceptor (e.g., odorant receptor) can be a molecule of various chemical structures including a peptide, a polypeptide (including an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof), a lipid, a carbohydrate, a nucleic acid, a small organic or non-organic molecule including but not limited to an odorant, a fragrance compound and a pheromone, a molecule from a synthetic or natural source, from a chemical or peptide library for instance. A chemical stimulus that can modulate the function of an olfactory receptor is called an “olfactory stimulus”.
- The terms “agonist” and “antagonist” of a chemoreceptor refer herewith to an agent that modulates (activates and inhibits, respectively) the function of said chemoreceptor and, thus, the downstream signaling activities related to said chemoreceptor and/or, in the case of a ligand binding an olfactory receptor for instance, a global olfactory response related to said olfactory receptor. The agonist and antagonist of a chemoreceptor can act by modulating (enhancing and inhibiting, respectively) the binding of a ligand for its chemoreceptor. Said agonist and said antagonist can be of various natures including a peptide, a polypeptide, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, a lipid, a carbohydrate, a nucleic acid, a small organic or non-organic molecule including but not limited to an odorant, a fragrance compound and a pheromone, a molecule from a synthetic or natural source, from a chemical or peptide library for instance.
- In some embodiments, the invention provides methods of identifying at least one odorant receptor for at least one ligand comprising the steps of:
- a) providing a biological sample comprising cells expressing at least one odorant receptor and exposing the biological sample to at least one test compound in a vapor/gaseous phase (e.g., an odorant molecule being in a vapor/gaseous phase);
- b) measuring the level of activation of one of the odorant receptors,
- c) comparing the measured level of activation of one of the odorant receptors determined in step b) to a reference activation level for the specific odorant receptor determined in the same conditions with a negative control where the biological sample has not been exposed to said at least one test compound in a vapor/gaseous phase;
- wherein a difference between the level of activation determined in step b) and the level of activation in the same conditions with a negative control indicates that said at least one test compound in a vapor/gaseous phase constitutes a ligand for said at least one odorant receptor and is able to bind and modulate the activity of said at least one odorant receptor.
- In some embodiments, the invention provides methods of identifying at least one odorant receptor for at least one ligand comprising the steps of:
- a) providing a biological sample comprising cells expressing at least one odorant receptor, wherein said biological sample (i) has been exposed to at least one test compound in a vapor/gaseous phase (e.g., an odorant molecule being in a vapor/gaseous phase);
- b) measuring the level of activation of one of the odorant receptors,
- c) comparing the measured level of activation of one of the odorant receptors determined in step b) to a reference activation level for the specific odorant receptor determined in the same conditions with a negative control where the biological sample has not been exposed to said at least one test compound in a vapor/gaseous phase;
- wherein a difference between the level of activation determined in step b) and the level of activation in the same conditions with a negative control indicates that said at least one test compound in a vapor/gaseous phase constitutes a ligand for said at least one odorant receptor and is able to bind and modulate the activity of said at least one odorant receptor.
- In such embodiments, when the level of activation determined in step b) in the biological sample after exposure to at least one test compound in a vapor/gaseous phase is higher than the level of activation determined in the same conditions with a negative control without exposure to the test compound in a vapor/gaseous phase, this indicates that said at least one test compound in a vapor/gaseous phase constitutes a ligand acting as an agonist for said at least one odorant receptor.
- In such embodiments, when the level of activation determined in step b) in the biological sample after exposure to at least one test compound in a vapor/gaseous phase is lower than the level of activation determined in the same conditions with a negative control without exposure to the test compound in a vapor/gaseous phase, this indicates that said at least one test compound in a vapor/gaseous phase constitutes a ligand acting as an antagonist for said at least one odorant receptor.
- In the invention, a biological sample typically comprises isolated cells or cells within a tissue, wherein said cells express at least one odorant receptor and wherein the gene encoding said odorant receptor was naturally present in said cells or was introduced within said cells by genetic engineering. In some embodiments, the biological sample comprises heterologous cells.
- The odorant receptor based odorant sensor system is not limited to expressing specific kinds of odorant receptors.
- In some embodiments, the odorant receptor based odorant sensor systems express one or more of MOR129, MOR103, olfr476, olfr491, olfr1104, olfr502, olfr1062, olfr919, olfr1079, olfr876, olfr556, olfr979, olfr962, olfr145, olfr889, olfr1484, olfr978, olfr1512, olfr1411, olfr109, olfr1377, olfr124, olfr992, olfr549, olfr1364, olfr1370, olfr90, olfr1093, olfr167, olfr211, and olfr2(I7).
- In some embodiments, the odorant receptor based odorant sensor systems express one or more of OR-S6, Olfr62, S6/79, S18, S46, S50, MOR23-1, MOR31-4, MOR31-6, MOR32-5 and MOR32-11.

- In some embodiments, the odorant receptor is a variant of a human odorant receptor, in particular a variant of any one of the human odorant receptors listed above, more particularly a variant having an amino acid sequence having at least 80% identity, for instance at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99% identity with the amino acid sequence of a human odorant receptor, in particular with any one of the human odorant receptors listed above.
- In some embodiments, the odorant receptor is any type or kind (or variant thereof) of a mammalian odorant receptor (e.g., mouse, canine, human, etc).
- In some embodiments, the odorant receptor based odorant sensor systems further express one or more odorant receptor binding proteins. In some embodiments, the one or more odorant receptor binding proteins are selected from Lcn3, Lcn4, Lcn10, Lcn11, OBP1a, OBP1b, and OBP2b.
- In some embodiments, the odorant receptor based odorant sensor systems further express one or more metabolic enzymes such as, for example, carboxyl esterase (e.g, Ces1d) (see,
FIG. 10 ). In some embodiments, the metabolic enzyme is expressed in olfactory epithelium. - In some embodiments, the odorant receptor based odorant sensor systems further express one or more proteins known to enhance cell surface localization of the odorant receptors. In some embodiments, the one or more proteins known to enhance cell surface localization of the odorant receptors are selected from REEP1, RTP1, and RTP2 (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 7,425,445).
- In some embodiments, the biological sample and the gene encoding said odorant receptor are from the same species, e.g. a biological sample from a mouse comprises cells expressing a gene encoding a mouse odorant receptor.
- In some embodiments, the biological sample and the gene encoding said odorant receptor are from different species, e.g. a biological sample from a rodent comprises cells expressing a gene encoding a human odorant receptors.
- In some embodiments, the biological sample comprises a tissue comprising cells expressing at least one odorant receptor as described above. For example, a tissue suitable for the invention typically comprises olfactory sensory neurons. In a particular embodiment, said tissue is the main olfactory epithelium. Said tissues can be obtained from biopsies of animals (including humans, non-human animals), according to methods known in the art.
- In another embodiment, the biological sample used in the invention comprises isolated cells expressing at least one odorant receptor as described above. The cells suitable for the invention are typically isolated from olfactory sensory neurons. The cells suitable for the invention can also be cells from a cell line such as an olfactory sensory neuron cell (e.g., Odora; see, e.g., Murrel and Hunter, 1999, J. Neurosci., 19(19): 8260-70). In a particular embodiment, the cells suitable for the invention are sensory neurons, in particular olfactory sensory neurons isolated from the olfactory system comprising the main olfactory epithelium, vomeronasal organ, septal organ and/or Grueneberg ganglion of an animal. In another embodiment, said olfactory sensory neurons are isolated from the main olfactory epithelium. In a further embodiment, said olfactory sensory neurons are isolated from the vomeronasal organ epithelium. In a further embodiment, said olfactory sensory neurons are isolated from the Grueneberg ganglion. Methods to extract said olfactory sensory neurons are known in the art (see, e.g., Bozza et al., 2002, J. Neuro, 22(8):3033-3043; Rivière et al, Nature 2009 May 28; 459(7246):574-7).
- In some embodiments, the cell or cell lines expressing one or more odorant receptors are engineered with Glosensor™. In some embodiments, the cell or cell lines expressing one or more odorant receptors and one or more odorant receptor binding proteins are engineered with Glosensor™.
- In some embodiments, the cells or cell lines expressing one or more odorant receptors are placed in an assay plate, such as a 96-well plate or similar type plate, and exposed to the odorant molecule in a vapor/gaseous phase.
- Activity of the odorant receptor is then detected when the odorant molecule in a vapor/gaseous phase binds to the receptor ligand. In some embodiments, the detection is determined using the Glosensor™ assay available from Promega Corp. In such an assay, the cAMP pathway is activated upon odor receptor activation, thereby turning on the Glosensor. Cells having actively bound odorant receptors will glow, or be detectable by reading in an appropriate machine, such as a luminometer.
- The odorant can be any odorant molecule in a vapor or gas phase.
- In some embodiments, the odorant molecule is a volatile odorant molecule, such as an explosive, solvent(s) for explosives, illegal drugs, spoiled food and malodors. In such cases, the odorant receptor based odorant sensor systems can be used as an alert to the presence of such an odorant molecule in any desired setting.
- According to the invention, the test compound in a vapor/gaseous phase (e.g., an odorant molecule being in a vapor/gaseous phase) to which the biological sample has been exposed can be of various natures including a peptide, a polypeptide, a lipid, a carbohydrate, and a small organic or non-organic molecule including but not limited to an odorant, a fragrance compound, a pheromone, a molecule from a synthetic or natural source, from a chemical or peptide library for instance.
- In a particular embodiment, the test compound in a vapor/gaseous phase is selected from the group consisting of esters, linear terpenes, cyclic terpenes, aromatic, amines, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, lactones, thiols, sulfated compounds, and alkanes.
- In another embodiment, more than one test compound in a vapor/gaseous phase can be tested in a mixture of several test compounds.
- The method of the invention is preceded by the exposure of the cells comprised in the biological sample to at least one test compound in a vapor/gaseous phase. Said exposure can be carried out ex vivo, i.e. cells or tissues expressing at least one odorant receptor are exposed to said test compound in a vapor/gaseous phase, or in vivo, i.e. the cells or tissues expressing at least one odorant receptor are from an animal that has been exposed to said test compound.
- In general, the method of the invention is preceded by the exposure of the biological sample to the test compound in a vapor/gaseous phase for any amount of time (e.g., less than one second, 1 second, 2 second, 3 seconds, 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, an hour, a few hours such as about 5 hours, a day, a month, etc).
- In another aspect, the invention provides a vapor/gaseous odorant molecule binding to an odorant receptor, as well as vapor/gaseous agents modulating the binding of a ligand to its odorant receptor, which can be identified by the methods of the invention.
- Ligands of at least one odorant receptor and vapor/gaseous agents modulating the binding of a ligand to its odorant receptor, as those identified by the methods according to the invention, are useful for controlling perceived scents. For instance, undesired scents can be blocked, covered or altered by using antagonists of an odorant receptor and desired scents can be enhanced by using a ligand and/or an agonist of an odorant receptor.
- Ligands of at least one odorant receptor and agents modulating the binding of a ligand to its odorant receptor, as those identified by the methods according to the invention, are useful in methods of treatment and/or prevention of disorders involving an odorant receptor.
- Thus, in certain embodiments, the invention provides compositions comprising at least one odorant molecule in a vapor/gaseous phase of at least one odorant receptor and/or at least one agent modulating the binding of a ligand to its odorant receptor.
- The present invention also provides kits for determining detecting and discriminating one or more odorant molecules in a vapor/gaseous phase using a panel of odorant receptors expressed in cells or cell lines (e.g, heterologous cells). The kits are produced in a variety of ways. In some embodiments, the kits contain one or more heterologous cells expressing an odorant receptor of interest. In some embodiments, the kit comprises a panel of heterologous cells each expressing a particular odorant receptor. The kits may also comprise instructions for using the kit. In other embodiments, the kits include ancillary reagents such as buffering agents, cell stabilizing reagents, protein stabilizing reagents, and signal producing systems (e.g., Glosensor™ assay). The test kit may be packaged in any suitable manner, typically with the elements in a single container or various containers as necessary along with a sheet of instructions for carrying out the test. In some embodiments, the kits also preferably include a positive control sample.
- Yet another embodiment of the present disclosure provides all that is disclosed and illustrated herein.
- One of ordinary skill in the art will readily recognize that the foregoing represents merely a detailed description of certain preferred embodiments of the present invention. Various modifications and alterations of the compositions and methods described above can readily be achieved using expertise available in the art and are within the scope of the invention.
- The invention, now being generally described, will be more readily understood by reference to the following examples, which are included merely for purposes of illustration of certain aspects and embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the invention.
- This example describes vapor detection and discrimination with a panel of odorant receptors expressed in heterologous cells.
- The method described herein was used to test whether ORs expressed in heterologous cells are activated in vapor phase (see,
FIG. 1 ). In said embodiment, a diverse set of 28 ORs that robustly respond to at least one of the tested odorants, along with three well studied ORs, were selected. Individual ORs were expressed in 96-well plates in triplicates and the responses measured against vapor phase odor stimulation ranging from 10-10 dilution to undiluted odorants using the GloSensor™ assay system. This system was capable of measuring cAMP levels in real time. Significant responses were recorded at concentrations as low as 10−6 dilution, and robust responses were recorded as low as 10−4 dilution. Each OR showed a unique response profile to the odorant panel. Lastly, structurally analogous odorants to eugenol and acetophenone were tested. The results showed a discrimination between structural analogs using activation patterns of the set of ORs. - A comprehensive FACS analysis for a large repertoire of ORs in a heterologous expression system was conducted. Such experiments investigated which ORs are trafficked to cell surface membrane in heterologous cells by carrying out live cell surface staining of HEK293T cells transfected with 244 ORs with an N-terminal Rho tag in the absence of RTP1 and RTP2. In order to quantify the surface staining we performed fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) to measure surface OR levels in these cells. 34 ORs were trafficked to cell surface, which were more than 0.14 fold change. These results indicated ORs are functional without the RTPs.
-
FIG. 2 shows A) FACS results for representative ORs (Olfr539, Olfr541, Olfr1362, Olfr715, Olfr1250 and Olfr653); B) A histogram of FACS results for 244 ORs. Fold changes were calculated using Olfr539, which was greatly trafficked to cell surface, and Olfr541, which was poorly trafficked to cell surface; C) ORs were tested and significantly trafficked ORs were colored in gray-scaled red on a phylogenetic tree of OR amino acid sequences. - This example demonstrates enhanced odorant responses in the presence of odorant binding proteins (OBPs) in the volatile odor-stimulation assays as described herein (see, Example I).
-
FIG. 3 shows the effect of odorant binding proteins on OR responses in the presence of acetophenone, cyclohexanone, 2-heptanone, methyl benzoate, heptanal, a 7-mixture (a mixture of acetophenone, cyclohexanone, 2-heptanone, methyl benzoate, heptanal, eugenol, and N-amyl acetate). -
FIG. 4 shows the effect of odorant binding proteins on OR responses in the presence of acetophenone. -
FIG. 5 shows the effect of odorant binding proteins on OR responses in the presence of cyclohexanone. -
FIG. 6 shows the effect of odorant binding proteins on OR responses in the presence of methyl benzoate. -
FIG. 7 shows the effect of odorant binding proteins on OR responses in the presence of 2-heptanone. -
FIG. 8 shows the effect of odorant binding proteins on OR responses in the presence of heptanal. -
FIG. 9 shows the effect of odorant binding proteins on OR responses in the presence of 7-mixture (a mixture of acetophenone, cyclohexanone, 2-heptanone, methyl benzoate, heptanal, eugenol, and N-amyl acetate). - This example shows the effect of metabolic enzymes to odorants in olfaction.
- Effect of Metabolic Enzymes to Odorants in Olfaction
- Many kinds of proteins, including metabolic enzymes, are expressed in the olfactory epithelium. Some of these proteins are secreted into olfactory mucosa and act in the odorant metabolism upstream of OR detection.
- Carboxyl Esterase
- catalyzes a chemical reaction breaks carboxylic esters into alcohol and carboxylate.
- expressed in olfactory epithelium (Olson M J et al., J Histochem Cytochem (1993))
- >Co-expression of Ces1d which is the most abundant carboxylesterase in olfactory epithelium.
-
FIGS. 10A-B show improved odorant receptor activity when olfactory epithelium expresses a carboxyl esterase (e.g, Ces1d). - The entire disclosure of each of the patent documents and scientific articles referred to herein is incorporated by reference for all purposes.
- The invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof. The foregoing embodiments are therefore to be considered in all respects illustrative rather than limiting the invention described herein. Scope of the invention is thus indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description, and all changes that come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are intended to be embraced therein.
