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

ABSTRACT: 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.

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.

Single cell gene expression profile of adult cochlear explants over the course of hair cell regeneration stimulated by chemical reprogramming [CocktailVehicleAtoh1]

Project description:Strategies to overcome irreversible cochlear hair cell (HC) damage and loss are of vital importance to develop a treatment for hearing loss. HC regeneration in adult cochlea relies on a two-phase process: 1) Reprogramming mature cochlear (SCs) to regain the properties of their younger selves; 2) Activating Atoh1, a gene responsible for HC fate-determining, in the reprogrammed adult SCs for HC regeneration. We have shown that, by transient co-activation of Myc and NICD (Notch1 intracellular domain), the adult mouse cochlea can be successfully reprogrammed to a relatively younger stage and regain progenitor capacity, with the regeneration of HCs following Atoh1 overexpression in vitro and in vivo. We identified a combination (the cocktail) of drug-like molecules composing of small molecules and siRNAs to activate the pathways of Myc, Notch1, Wnt and cAMP. To identify molecules to reprogram mature cochlear SCs and HC regeneration, we utilized single-cell RNA sequencing and uncovered the pathways and their target genes underlying chemical-mediated reprogramming. We used an in-house adult cochlea explant culture system and carried out single-cell RNA sequencing to examine the gene expression profiles of cochlear explants, in response to chemical-induced reprogramming. We compared gene expression profiles between Vehicle/ad.Atoh1 activation vs. Cocktail (chemical reprogramming)/ad.Atoh1 activation.

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.

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.

Analyses of iHC transcriptome profiles

Project description:Mechanosensory hair cells (HCs) are the primary receptors of our senses of hearing and balance. However, very little is known about the transcriptional regulators involved in HC fate determination and differentiation. In this paper, we show that expression of three HC lineage-specific transcription factors: Gfi1, Pou4f3 and Atoh1, can induce a direct commitment towards HC fate during in vitro embryonic stem cell (ESC) differentiation. Induced HCs (iHCs) express numerous HC-specific genes and exhibit polarized membrane protusions reminiscent of stereociliary bundles. The ability to obtain purified populations of iHCs by virtue of the Myo7:mVenus reporter line (iGPA-Myo7a:mVenus) allowed us to generate highly reproducible gene expression profiles for these cells, at various phases of their development (day 8 and day 12 of cell culture).

Inner ear supporting cells are organized tissue-resident macrophages arranged like cobblestones.

Project description:Sensorineural hearing loss (SHL) is a relatively common disease, and studies have suggested viral infection as a major cause. In the inner ear, the blood-labyrinthine barrier prevents access of the peripheral immune system; therefore, the immune system remains poorly understood. Here we found that cochlear accessory supporting cells (SCs), which are anchored by tight junctions, are organized tissue-resident macrophages. Virus-infected supporting cells change into activated macrophages and protect audiosensory receptor hair cells (HCs) against virus infection by producing interferon (IFN)-α/β. Moreover, we also observed bacterial phagocytosis by SCs. However, tumour necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (Trail), produced by virus-infected SCs, induced sensory hair loss and HC death by necroptosis. Notably, corticosteroid, the only effective drug for SHL, inhibited the virus-induced macrophage change of SCs. These results revealed an inner ear immune system, and suggest a possible mechanism for virus-induced SHL.

A Cell Type-Specific Approach to Elucidate the Role of miR-96 in Inner Ear Hair Cells

Project description:Mutations in miRNA-96, a microRNA expressed within the hair cells (HCs) of the inner ear, result in progressive hearing loss in both mouse models and humans. While previous studies have delved into miR-96 transcriptional cascades via whole organ of Corti microarray experiments of diminuendo (Mir96Dmdo) mice, they face limitations in pinpointing cell type-specific differentially expressed genes. This hinders the ability to conclusively determine if the effects of Mir96Dmdo are specifically within HCs and contribute to the observed abnormal Mir96Dmdo HC phenotype and determine the role of miR-96 in HCs. In this study, we generate the first HC-specific RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) datasets from Mir96Dmdo; Atoh1/nGFP+ postnatal day 1 wildtype, heterozygous, and homozygous mutant mice. Our differential gene expression analysis between Mir96Dmdo homozygous mutant HCs compared to wildtype HCs identified 215 upregulated and 428 downregulated genes. Many significantly downregulated genes in Mir96Dmdo homozygous mutant HCs have established roles in HC development and/or known roles in deafness such as Myo15, Myo7a, Ush1c Gfi1, and Ptprq, some of which were not previously identified in other miR-96 datasets. In addition, active modules of protein-protein interaction networks of significantly downregulated genes in Mir96Dmdo homozygous mutant HCs reveal enrichment in GO terms with biological functions such as sound perception and endocytosis. Genes significantly upregulated in Mir96Dmdo homozygous mutant HCs, which are more likely to be direct targets of miR-96, show higher expression in wildtype supporting cells compared to wildtype HCs, suggesting a role of miR-96 in suppressing non-HC genes during HC development. Finally, all generated HC-specific Mir96Dmdo RNA-seq datasets from this manuscript are now publicly available in the miR-96 specific gEAR profile (https://umgear.org/p?l=miR96).

Utricle Laser Timecourse

Project description:Much of human hearing loss is caused by loss of auditory hair cell (HC) function. Mammals cannot regenerate these essential mechanoelectrical transducers of sound. However, birds have retained the ability to regenerate HCs from surrounding supporting cells. To better understand hair cell regeneration, we have expression profiled the sensory epithelia from chicken cochleae and utricles. Pure sensory epithelia, consisting of HCs plus supporting cells, were damaged with either neomycin or laser treatment. Changes in gene expression at various points during regeneration were compared to undamaged control cultures on a custom microarray that interrogates the vast majority of transcription factor (TF) genes. These experiments involved multiple biological samples and hundreds of microarray comparisons. Keywords: timecourse
