Redox activation of excitatory pathways in auditory neurons as mechanism of age-related hearing loss

ABSTRACT: Age-related hearing (ARHL) loss affects a large part of the human population with a major impact on our aging societies. Yet, underlying mechanisms are not understood, and no validated therapy or prevention exists. NADPH oxidases (NOX), are important sources of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the cochlea and might therefore be involved in the pathogenesis of ARHL. Here we investigate ARHL in a mouse model. Wild type mice showed early loss of hearing and cochlear integrity, while animals deficient in the NOX subunit p22phox remained unaffected up to six months. Genes of the excitatory pathway were down-regulated in p22phox-deficient auditory neurons. Our results demonstrate that NOX activity leads to upregulation of genes of the excitatory pathway, to excitotoxic cochlear damage, and ultimately to ARHL. In the absence of functional NOXs, aging mice conserve hearing and cochlear morphology. Our study offers new insights into pathomechanisms and future therapeutic targets of ARHL.

WNT activation and TGFβ-smad inhibition potentiate stemness of mammalian auditory neuroprogenitors for high throughput generation of functional auditory neurons in vitro

Project description:We have previously identified and characterized the phoenix auditory neuroprogenitors (ANPGs) as highly proliferative progenitor cells isolated from the A/J mouse cochlea. In the present study, we aimed at identifying signaling pathways responsible for the intrinsic high stemness of phoenix ANPGs. A transcriptomic comparison of traditionally low stemness ANPGs, isolated from C57Bl/6 and A/J mice at early passages, and high stemness phoenix ANPGs was performed.

RNA-seq analysis of the fungal mycelium of the plant pathogen Pyricularia oryzae treated with and antimicrobial peptide analog of a Trichoderma peptaibol

Project description:We aimed at investigating the mode of action of an antimicrobial peptide analog of a Trichoderma peptaibol. Conidia of P. oryzae (IT10 strain) were cultured in Complete Medium at a final concentration of 2x105 conidia per mL for 3 days at 30 °C under shaking at 150 rpm. After three days, 50 µM of the Peptide 4rink were added to samples containing actively growing mycelium. Untreated samples were used as control. Three h after peptide treatment, fungal mycelia were collected, filtered with 100 µm Cell Strainer (Corning®), rinsed with sterile water and stored at -80 °C for RNA extraction. Total RNA was extracted with the RNeasy Plant Mini kit (Qiagen) following the manufacturer’s instructions, performing the DNase digestion directly on the column. The integrity and concentration of the RNA samples were checked with Qubit fluorimeter and Bioanalyzer. RNA samples with RIN values < 7 were discarded. Four biological replicates of each treatment were submitted to RNA sequencing and analysis at CRIBI Biotechnology Center (University of Padova). Two µg of total RNA were subjected to PolyA tail capture and rRNA depletion for selection of mRNA. Directional (stranded) RNA libraries were prepared, quantified and subjected to quality control. Sequencing was performed on Illumina Nova Seq 6000 platform. Twenty million reads were produced for each sample and checked for quality control. Based on our RNA-seq data, the molecular mechanisms of the fungicidal activity of these peptide analogs appear to be related to their ability to cause cell wall and membrane damages and to induce autophagic cell death in fungal cells. This is the first transcriptomic analysis on a fungus treated with peptaibol analogs.

CDK2 inhibitors as candidate therapeutics for cisplatin- and noise-induced hearing loss.

Project description:Hearing loss caused by aging, noise, cisplatin toxicity, or other insults affects 360 million people worldwide, but there are no Food and Drug Administration-approved drugs to prevent or treat it. We screened 4,385 small molecules in a cochlear cell line and identified 10 compounds that protected against cisplatin toxicity in mouse cochlear explants. Among them, kenpaullone, an inhibitor of multiple kinases, including cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2), protected zebrafish lateral-line neuromasts from cisplatin toxicity and, when delivered locally, protected adult mice and rats against cisplatin- and noise-induced hearing loss. CDK2-deficient mice displayed enhanced resistance to cisplatin toxicity in cochlear explants and to cisplatin- and noise-induced hearing loss in vivo. Mechanistically, we showed that kenpaullone directly inhibits CDK2 kinase activity and reduces cisplatin-induced mitochondrial production of reactive oxygen species, thereby enhancing cell survival. Our experiments have revealed the proapoptotic function of CDK2 in postmitotic cochlear cells and have identified promising therapeutics for preventing hearing loss.

RNAseq of A/J mice spiral ganglion derived neurospheres vs differentiated auditory neurons

Project description:Sphere-forming progenitor cells can be isolated from the fetal and adult mammalian inner ear and give rise to inner ear specific cell types in vitro. Here, we provide phenotypical and functional characterization of a new pool of auditory progenitors as sustainable source for sphere-derived auditory neurons. The so-called phoenix auditory neuroprogenitors, isolated from the A/J mouse spiral ganglion, exhibit nearly unlimited intrinsic self-renewal properties (beyond 40 passages). At any passage, phoenix spheres can be efficiently differentiated by withdrawing growth factors into mature spiral ganglion cells, expressing both neurons and glial cells phenotypic markers and exhibiting similar functional properties as mouse spiral ganglion explants and human sphere-derived spiral ganglion cells. The present dataset includes RNAseq-based transcriptome analysis of phoenix auditory neurons following 7 days of differentiation. mRNA levels in differentiated cells are expressed relatively to neuroprogenitor spheres of equivalent passage (paired samples at passage 12, 21 and 36)

Hearing impairment and associated morphological changes in pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP)-deficient mice.

Project description:Pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) is a regulatory and cytoprotective neuropeptide, its deficiency implies accelerated aging in mice. It is present in the auditory system having antiapoptotic effects. Expression of Ca2+-binding proteins and its PAC1 receptor differs in the inner ear of PACAP-deficient (KO) and wild-type (WT) mice. Our aim was to elucidate the functional role of PACAP in the auditory system. Auditory brainstem response (ABR) tests found higher hearing thresholds in KO mice at click and low frequency burst stimuli. Hearing impairment at higher frequencies showed as reduced ABR wave amplitudes and latencies in KO animals. Increase in neuronal activity, demonstrated by c-Fos immunolabeling, was lower in KO mice after noise exposure in the ventral and dorsal cochlear nuclei. Noise induced neuronal activation was similar in further relay nuclei of the auditory pathway of WT and KO mice. Based on the similar inflammatory and angiogenic protein profile data from cochlear duct lysates, neither inflammation nor disturbed angiogenesis, as potential pathological components in sensorineural hearing losses, seem to be involved in the pathomechanism of the presented functional and morphological changes in PACAP KO mice. The hearing impairment is probably concomitant with the markedly accelerated aging processes in these animals.

MicroRNAs Involved in Aging of the Lateral Wall of the Cochlear Duct

Project description:Age-related hearing loss is a progressive sensorineural hearing loss that occurs as people get older. Degeneration of the organ of Corti and atrophy of the lateral wall of the cochlear duct (or scala media) in the inner ear are the two primary causes. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of short non-coding RNAs that regulate the expression of mRNA/protein targets, are important regulators of cellular senescence and aging. We examined the change of miRNA gene expression profiles in the lateral wall of the cochlear duct in two mouse strains during aging The totoal RNA was extracted from the lateral wall of cochlear duct from CBA/J and C57BL/6J mice at different ages. The expression profile of miRNAs was examined by miR microarray GeneChip.

Presbycusis: An Update on Cochlear Mechanisms and Therapies.

Project description:Age-related hearing impairment (ARHI), also referred to as presbycusis, is the most common sensory impairment seen in the elderly. As our cochlea, the peripheral organ of hearing, ages, we tend to experience a decline in hearing and are at greater risk of cochlear sensory-neural cell degeneration and exacerbated age-related hearing impairments, e.g., gradual hearing loss, deterioration in speech comprehension (especially in noisy environments), difficulty in the localization sound sources, and ringing sensations in the ears. However, the aging process does not affect people uniformly; nor, in fact, does the aging process appear to be uniform even within an individual. Here, we outline recent research into chronological cochlear age in healthy people, and exacerbated hearing impairments during aging due to both extrinsic factors including noise and ototoxic medication, and intrinsic factors such as genetic predisposition, epigenetic factors, and aging. We review our current understanding of molecular pathways mediating ARHL and discuss recent discoveries in experimental hearing restoration and future prospects.
