Isotropic 3D electron microscopy (FIB-SEM) data of mouse single-innervated Meissner corpuscle (jrc_mus-meissner-corpuscle-1)

<b>Sample:</b> Single-innervated Meissner corpuscle from the forepaw of a 3-week-old C57BL/6J WT mouse<b>Sample Description:</b> Across mammalian skin, structurally complex and diverse mechanosensory end organs respond to mechanical stimuli and enable our perception of dynamic, light touch. How forces act on morphologically dissimilar mechanosensory end organs of the skin to gate the requisite mechanotransduction channel Piezo2 and excite mechanosensory neurons is not understood. Here, we report high-resolution reconstructions of the hair follicle lanceolate complex, Meissner corpuscle, and Pacinian corpuscle and the subcellular distribution of Piezo2 within them. Across all three end organs, Piezo2 is restricted to the sensory axon membrane, including axon protrusions that extend from the axon body. These protrusions, which are numerous and elaborate extensively within the end organs, tether the axon to resident non-neuronal cells via adherens junctions. These findings support a unified model for dynamic touch in which mechanical stimuli stretch hundreds to thousands of axon protrusions across an end organ, opening proximal, axonal Piezo2 channels and exciting the neuron.This dataset contains the FIB-SEM data of a single-innervated Meissner corpuscle from the forepaw of a 3-week-old C57BL/6J mouse.<b>Protocol:</b> Samples were dissected and drop fixed in glutaraldehyde and paraformaldehyde, and then osmicated with osmium tetroxide and potassium ferrocyanide, followed by osmium tetroxide only. Samples were subsequently stained with uranyl acetate and samarium chloride. Samples were dehydrated with an ethanol series followed by anhydrous acetone, infiltrated with Durcupan resin, and cured at 60°C.<b>Contributions:</b> Sample provided by Annie Handler (Harvard Medical School/HHMI) and Qiyu Zhang (Harvard Medical School/HHMI), prepared for imaging by Song Pang (HHMI/Janelia, currently at Yale School of Medicine), imaged by Song Pang and C.

<b>示例：</b> 来自3周龄C57BL/6J野生型（WT）小鼠前爪的单神经支配迈斯纳小体（Meissner corpuscle）<br><b>示例说明：</b> 在哺乳动物皮肤中，结构复杂且种类多样的机械感受终末器官可响应机械刺激，使我们能够感知动态轻触觉。目前尚不明确外力如何作用于皮肤中形态各异的机械感受终末器官，以激活必需的机械转导通道Piezo2（Piezo2）并兴奋机械感觉神经元。本研究报道了毛囊柳叶状复合体、迈斯纳小体（Meissner corpuscle）以及帕奇尼小体（Pacinian corpuscle）的高分辨率重建结果，以及Piezo2在这些结构中的亚细胞分布。在这三种终末器官中，Piezo2均局限于感觉轴突膜，包括从轴突本体延伸出的轴突突起。这些突起数量众多，并在终末器官内广泛延伸，通过黏着连接将轴突锚定在驻留的非神经元细胞上。上述研究结果支持一种动态触觉的统一模型：机械刺激会牵拉终末器官内成百上千个轴突突起，从而激活轴突近端的Piezo2通道并兴奋神经元。本数据集包含一只3周龄C57BL/6J小鼠前爪内单神经支配迈斯纳小体的聚焦离子束扫描电子显微镜（FIB-SEM）数据。<br><b>实验方案：</b> 样品经解剖后，采用戊二醛与多聚甲醛进行滴注固定，随后使用四氧化锇与铁氰化钾进行锇化处理，再仅用四氧化锇处理。后续样品依次经乙酸铀酰与氯化钐染色，通过梯度乙醇系列脱水后改用无水丙酮脱水，再经Durcupan树脂渗透，并在60℃下固化。<br><b>贡献说明：</b> 样品由Annie Handler（哈佛医学院/HHMI）与Qiyu Zhang（哈佛医学院/HHMI）提供；成像样品制备由Song Pang（HHMI/贾内利亚研究所，现任职于耶鲁医学院）完成；成像由Song Pang与C.
