Emx2 defines bidirectional polarity of neuromasts by changing hair-bundle orientation and not hair-cell positions

ABSTRACT: The bidirectional sensitivity of neuromasts to water flow in the zebrafish lateral line system is attributed to the opposite orientation of the hair bundles on top of sensory hair cells (HC) within a neuromast. After each HC precursor divides to form two nascent HCs, HCs of the same bundle orientation are positioned on one side of the neuromast, across from HCs with opposite bundle orientation. The transcription factor emx2 is expressed in only one of the sibling HCs. Loss or gain of function of emx2 in HCs causes unidirectional hair bundle orientation in neuromasts. It is not clear whether Emx2 is required specifically in establishing hair bundle orientation after HC formation or Emx2 has an earlier role in HC fate and/or positioning, which indirectly changes hair bundle orientation. A phenomenon, in which nascent sibling HCs exchange positions with each other, has been postulated to be the mechanism for HCs to acquire their designated positions within the neuromast. We asked whether Emx2 is involved in positional acquisition of HCs within the neuromast. Using live-imaging and our emx2 reporter we find that the HC rearrangement, redefined as two processes named Rock & Roll are required for HCs to acquire their positions. Although Emx2 regulates the duration of the Rock and the frequency of Roll of nascent HCs, it is not required for their positional acquisition. Instead, Emx2 regulates the morphology of nascent HCs, which facilitates the rearrangement process.

Epithelial planar bipolarity emerges from Notch- mediated asymmetric inhibition of Emx2

Project description:This dataset consists of single-cell RNA-seq (mcSCRBseq) data of neuromast hair cells from wild type and Emx2 mutant zebrafish larvae. Posterior lateral-line neuromast hair cells were isolated by fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) from the dissociated trunks of wild type and Emx2-mutant Tg[myo6b:actb1-EGFP] transgenic zebrafish larvae expressing the green fluorescent protein EGFP in hair cells and unipotent hair-cell progenitors (UHCPs).

Characterization of the transcriptomes of Atoh1-induced hair cells in the mouse cochlea

Project description:Mammalian cochlea hair cells can be regenerated from the adjacent supporting cells in many ways, however, the newly hair cells are immature and without hearing function almost. The expression of Atoh1 is an important maker of the appearance of newly hair cells, many approaches of inner ear hair cells’ regeneration are concerned with the transcription factor Atoh1. However, most new HCs are immature HCs, and they do not have the function of mature HCs and eventually die a few weeks after regeneration. Thus promoting the maturation and survival of new HCs is the primary focus of HC regeneration field. We used RNA-Seq analysis to compare the differences between the transcriptomes of Atoh1 overexpression-induced new HCs and the original HCs, and to define the factors that might help to promote the maturation and survival of new HCs.

Identification of intermediate transcriptome states and synergistic effects of Isl1 in Atoh1-mediated cochlear hair cell conversion

Project description:Ectopic expression of Atoh1 in non-sensory supporting cells (SCs) in mouse cochleae induces their conversion to hair cells (HCs) in vivo. cHCs in multiple intermediate states of the conversion process that most closely resembled neonatal differentiating HCs, but differed from the progenitors. We further identified 52 transcription factors that are differentially expressed in cHCs, SCs, and mature HCs and confirmed that Isl1 synergistically enhanced the efficiency of Atoh1-mediated HC conversion in cochlear explants. Our results demonstrate that direct HC conversion from SCs in vivo follows a different path from normal development and requires multiple factors for maximum efficiency and completion.

RNA-sequencing of Adult Zebrafish Inner Ear Hair Cells

Project description:To understand the basic biological properties of inner ear hair cells (HCs) from non-mammalian vertebrates, we examined the transcriptome of adult zebrafish auditory and vestibular HCs. GFP-labeled HCs were isolated from inner-ear sensory epithelia of a pou4f3 promoter-driven GAP-GFP line of transgenic zebrafish. One thousand HCs and 1,000 non-sensory surrounding cells (nsSCs) were separately collected for each biological replicate, using the suction pipette technique. RNA sequencing of three biological replicates for the two cell types was performed. The resulting sequenced reads were mapped. Comparisons between HCs and nsSCs allow identification of enriched genes in HCs, which may underlie HC specialization. Our dataset provides an extensive resource for understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying morphology, function, and pathology of adult zebrafish HCs. It also establishes a framework for future characterization of the genes expressed in HCs and for the study of HC evolution.

Transcriptomic Analysis of Adult Zebrafish Inner Ear Hair Cells

Project description:To understand the basic biological property of hair cells (HCs) from lower vertebrates, we examined transcriptomes of adult zebrafish HCs. GFP-labeled HCs were isolated from the utricle, saccule, and lagena, the three inner-ear sensory epithelia of a pou4f3 promoter-driven GAP-GFP line of transgenic zebrafish. 2,000 HCs and 2,000 non-sensory cells from the inner ear were individually collected by suction pipet technique. RNA sequencing was performed and the resulting sequences were mapped, analyzed, and compared. Comparisons allow us to identify enriched genes in HCs, which may underlie HC specialization.

Comprehensive analysis on the signaling pathway of Norrie disease protein (Ndp)

Project description:Mutations in the gene for Norrie disease protein (Ndp) cause syndromic deafness and blindness. We show that cochlear function in an Ndp knockout (KO) mouse deteriorated with age: at P3-P4, hair cells (HCs) showed progressive loss of Pou4f3 and Gfi1, key transcription factors for HC maturation, and Myo7a, a specialized myosin required for normal function of HC stereocilia. Loss of expression of these genes correlated to increasing HC loss and profound hearing loss by 2 months of age. We show that overexpression of the Ndp gene in neonatal supporting cells or, remarkably, upregulation of canonical Wnt signaling in HCs rescued HCs and cochlear function. We conclude that Ndp secreted from supporting cells orchestrates a transcription factor network for the maintenance and survival of HCs and that increasing the level of b-catenin, the intracellular effector of Wnt signaling, is sufficient to replace the functional requirement for Ndp in the cochlea.

The role of ERbeta2 in zebrafish neuromasts development 15uM

Project description:The role of ERbeta2 in zebrafish larvae was investigated by injection of a Morpholino against ERbeta2. After 72hpf, the morphants showed a strong disruption in their sensory systems. ERbeta2 has been shown to be needed for the normal functioning of the sensory system organs, the neuromasts. The mechanisms involved in the neuromast disruption in ERbeta2 morphants was identified by microarrays gene screening. After comparison of two screening with low and high concentration of Morpholinos, genes that were present in the two microarrays screening were selected. The genes were then chosen by relevance for the mechanisms involved in the role of ERbeta2 in neuromast development. The ngn1 transcription factor, Notch3 and Notch1a showed to be up-regulated, also confirmed by in situ hybridization. The Notch signaling is known to be involved in cell fate in developing neuromasts. The overall conclusion is that ERbeta2 by interacting with the notch signaling pathways is critical for normal development of the neuromast of the lateral line in zebrafish.

Defective Tmprss3-Associated Hair Cell Degeneration in Inner Ear Organoids

Project description:The role of TMPRSS3 in hair cell (HC) remains unclear. Nelson and colleagues generated stem cell-derived inner ear organoids with Tmprss3-mutations to show that 1) inner ear organoids exhibit comparative effects of the genetic abnormality to its in vivo counterparts, 2) Tmprss3-mutations lead to apoptosis and reduced BK channels in HCs, and 3) cell membrane-bound TMPRSS3 is localized in HCs.
