    Abstract As small ectotherms, whose temperature equilibrates almost instantly with that of their environment, free-living nematodes rely on their behavior for thermoregulation. Caenorhabditis elegans has been extensively used as a model to address the fundamental mechanisms involved in thermosensation and the production of temperature-dependent behaviors. Behavioral responses include avoidance of acute noxious heat or cold stimuli and thermotactic responses to innocuous temperatures to produce oriented navigation in spatial thermogradients. In order to produce these behaviors, C. elegans relies on its ability to detect thermal cues with exquisite sensitivity, orchestrate a set of specific behavioral responses and adapt these responses in specific contexts, including according to past sensory experience and current internal states. The present review focuses on recent advances in our understanding of the processes occurring at the molecular, cellular, and circuit levels that enable thermosensory information processing and plasticity.

    Abstract The detection and avoidance of harmful stimuli are essential animal capabilities. The molecular and cellular mechanisms controlling nociception and its plasticity are conserved, genetically controlled processes of broad biomedical interest given their relevance to understand and treat pain conditions that represent a major health burden. Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified a rich set of polymorphisms related to different pain conditions and pointed to many human pain gene candidates, whose connection to the pain pathways is however often poorly understood. Here, we used a computer-assisted Caenorhabditis elegans thermal avoidance analysis pipeline to screen for behavioral defects in a set of 109 mutants for genes orthologous to human pain-related genes. We measured heat-evoked reversal thermosensitivity profiles, as well as spontaneous reversal rate, and compared naïve animals with adapted animals submitted to a series of repeated noxious heat stimuli, which in wild type causes a progressive habituation. Mutations affecting 28 genes displayed defects in at least one of the considered parameters and could be clustered based on specific phenotypic footprints, such as high-sensitivity mutants, nonadapting mutants, or mutants combining multiple defects. Collectively, our data reveal the functional architecture of a network of conserved pain-related genes in C. elegans and offer novel entry points for the characterization of poorly understood human pain genes in this genetic model.

    Abstract Nociceptive habituation is a conserved process through which pain sensitivity threshold is adjusted based on past sensory experience and which may be dysregulated in human chronic pain conditions. Noxious heat habituation in Caenorhabditis elegans involves the nuclear translocation of CaM kinase-1 (CMK-1) in the FLP thermo-nociceptors neurons, causing reduced animal heat sensitivity and avoidance responses. The phosphorylation of CMK-1 on T179 by CaM kinase kinase-1 (CKK-1) is required for nuclear entry. Recently, we identified a specific nuclear export sequence (NES) required to maintain CMK-1 in the cytoplasm at rest (20°C) and showed that Ca2+/CaM binding is sufficient to enhance CMK-1 affinity for IMA-3 via a specific nuclear localization signal (NLS) in order to promote nuclear entry after persistent heat stimulation (90 min at 28°C) (Ippolito et al., 2021). Here, we identified additional functional NES and NLS on CMK-1, whose activity can counteract previously identified elements. Furthermore, we clarify the relationship between the CaM-binding-dependent and T179-dependent effects. T179 phosphorylation can promote nuclear entry both downstream of CaM binding and as part of an independent/parallel pathway. Moreover, T179 phosphorylation can also produce the opposite effect by promoting nuclear export. Taken together, our studies suggest that multiple calcium-dependent regulatory mechanisms converge to bias the activity pattern across a network of NES/NLS elements, in order to control CMK-1 nucleo-cytoplasmic shuttling, and actuate stimulation-dependent nociceptive plasticity.

    Abstract Plants perceive herbivory-induced volatiles and respond to them by upregulating their defenses. To date, the organs responsible for volatile perception remain poorly described. Here, we show that responsiveness to the herbivory-induced green leaf volatile (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate (HAC) in terms of volatile emission, transcriptional regulation, and jasmonate defense hormone activation is largely constrained to younger maize leaves. Older leaves are much less sensitive to HAC. In a given leaf, responsiveness to HAC is high at immature developmental stages and drops off rapidly during maturation. Responsiveness to the non-volatile elicitor ZmPep3 shows an opposite pattern, demonstrating that this form of hyposmia (i.e., decreased sense of smell) is not due to a general defect in jasmonate defense signaling in mature leaves. Neither stomatal conductance nor leaf cuticle composition explains the unresponsiveness of older leaves to HAC, suggesting perception mechanisms upstream of jasmonate signaling as driving factors. Finally, we show that hyposmia in older leaves is not restricted to HAC and extends to the full blend of herbivory-induced volatiles. In conclusion, our work identifies immature maize leaves as dominant stress volatile-sensing organs. The tight spatiotemporal control of volatile perception may facilitate within plant defense signaling to protect young leaves and may allow plants with complex architectures to explore the dynamic odor landscapes at the outer periphery of their shoots.

    Abstract Maintaining or shifting between behavioral states according to context is essential for animals to implement fitness-promoting strategies. How the integration of internal state, past experience and sensory inputs orchestrates persistent multidimensional behavioral changes remains poorly understood. Here, we show that C. elegans integrates environmental temperature and food availability over different timescales to engage in persistent dwelling, scanning, global or glocal search strategies matching thermoregulatory and feeding needs. Transition between states, in each case, involves regulating multiple processes including AFD or FLP tonic sensory neurons activity, neuropeptide expression and downstream circuit responsiveness. State-specific FLP-6 or FLP-5 neuropeptide signaling acts on a distributed set of inhibitory GPCR(s) to promote scanning or glocal search, respectively, bypassing dopamine and glutamate-dependent behavioral state control. Integration of multimodal context via multisite regulation in sensory circuits might represent a conserved regulatory logic for a flexible prioritization on the valence of multiple inputs when operating persistent behavioral state transitions.
