Project description:Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is a progressive sensorineural hearing loss that occurs as people get older. As many as 35% to 50% of the population aged between 65 and 75 have ARHL. Although age-related changes in the central auditory system can contribute to hearing impairment, degeneration of the mechanosensitive hair cells in the cochlea is the prevalent cause of ARHL. The molecular mechanisms of hair cell aging are largely unknown. To provide a comprehensive dataset of age-related genes and pathways in hair cells, we individually collected inner and outer hair cells, the two types of sensory receptor cells in the cochlea, from 9- and 26-month-old CBA/J mice and performed cell type-specific transcriptomic analysis. Our analysis showed a significant reduction of the expression of genes related to hair cell structure and function such as Tmc1, Kcnq4, Kcnj13, Slc7a14, Slc17a8, Chrna9/Chrna10, and Slc26a5. Our hair cell-specific transcriptome analysis provides a rich resource for mechanistic studies of biological aging of cochlear hair cells.

Project description:Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is involved in the hair cell apoptosis, but the underlying mechanism of hair cell apoptosis remains unclear. Here, we explored expression profiles of lncRNAs and mRNAs in an ARHL mouse model by using RNA sequencing and found that the cell apoptosis signaling pathway was activated in the cochlea tissues of old mice compared with those of young mice. We further found that lncRNA Mirg was most correlated with the cell apoptosis signaling pathway by the coexpression analysis. LncRNA Mirg was increased in the cochlea tissues of old mice compared with those of young mice, and its overexpression promoted hair cell apoptosis. H2O2-induced oxidative stress increased hair cell apoptosis by upregulating lncRNA Mirg. Furthermore, the expression of lncRNA Mirg and Foxp1 had the maximal correlation coefficient in the cochlea tissues of old mice, and lncRNA Mirg promoted hair cell apoptosis by increasing Foxp1 expression. In conclusion, we identified that oxidative stress-induced lncRNA Mirg promoted hair cell apoptosis via increasing Foxp1 expression, and these suggest that the lncRNA Mirg/Foxp1 signal may be a potential therapeutic target for ARHL.

Project description:Transcriptome analysis of P16 cochlea from wild type and miR-183/96 Knock out mice Gene expression analysis of miR-183/96 KO cochlea revealed a set of hair cell-relevant differentially expressed genes that could adversely impact hair cell physiology and contribute to the observed phenotype.

Project description:Precise frequency discrimination is a hallmark of auditory function in birds and mammals. In the cochlea, tuning and spectral separation result from longitudinal differences in basilar membrane stiffness and numerous individual gradiations in sensory hair cell phenotypes, but it is unknown what patterns those phenotypes. Hypothesizing that morphogen levels might differ along the longitudinal axis of the developing cochlea, we sequenced the transcriptomes of the proximal, middle, and distal thirds of the chicken cochlea at E6.5, when postmitotic hair cells first form. Embryonic day 6.5 chicken cochlea were dissected. Three samples were collected from each cochlear duct by cutting the duct into three approximately equal sized pieces to produce proximal, middle, and distal pieces. Each sample contained a portion of the future tegmentum vasculosum and the basilar papilla sensory epithelium. The distal piece also contained the region fo the future lagena.

Project description:Age-related hearing impairment (ARHI), one of the most common medical conditions, is strongly heritable, yet its genetic causes remain largely unknown. We conducted a meta-analysis of GWAS summary statistics from multiple hearing-related traits in the UK Biobank (n = up to 323,978) and identified 31 genome-wide significant risk loci for self-reported hearing difficulty (p < 5e-8), of which 30 have not been reported previously at genome-wide significance. We interpreted these loci in the context of newly generated ATAC-seq and single-cell RNA-seq from cells in the mouse cochlea. Risk-associated genes were enriched for expression in cochlear epithelial and non-epithelial cells, as well as for genes related to sensory perception and known Mendelian deafness genes, supporting their relevance to auditory function. Regions of the human genome homologous to open chromatin in sensory epithelial cells from the mouse were strongly enriched for heritable risk for hearing difficulty, even after adjusting for baseline effects of evolutionary conservation and cell-type non-specific regulatory regions. Epigenomic and statistical fine-mapping most strongly supported 50 putative risk genes. Of these, at least 45 were expressed in mouse cochlea and 15 were enriched specifically in sensory hair cells. These results reveal new risk loci and risk genes for hearing difficulty and suggest an important role for altered gene regulation in the cochlear sensory epithelium.

Project description: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.

Project description:Mechanosensory hair cells of the mature mammalian organ of Corti do not regenerate, and loss of hair cells leads to permanent hearing loss. Although non-mammalian vertebrates are able to regenerate hair cells by the division and transdifferentiation of adjacent supporting cells, many humans with severe hearing loss completely lack hair cells and supporting cells, with the organ of Corti being replaced by a flat epithelium of non-sensory cells To determine if mature non-sensory cells can produce hair cells in vivo, we reprogrammed non-sensory cells of the mature cochlea with three hair cell transcription factors, Gfi1, Atoh1, and Pou4f3. We were able to generate significant numbers of hair cell-like cells in the non-sensory inner and outer sulci of the cochlea after 2 weeks of reprogramming. New hair cells continued to be added to the non-sensory regions of the cochlea over the next seven weeks, and expressed hair cell proteins such as Myosin VIIa, parvalbumin, and prestin and formed stereociliary hair bundles. We confirmed the identity of these cells by high depth single cell RNA-seq. Significantly, cells adjacent to converted hair cells expressed markers of supporting cells, suggesting that transcription factor reprogramming of non-sensory tissue in the adult animal can generate mosaics of sensory cells similar to those seen in the organ of Corti. Generating such sensory mosaics by reprogramming may represent a potential strategy for hearing restoration in humans.

Project description:Our work describes the application of mass spectrometry-based label-free quantitative proteomics for the identification of differentially expressed proteins between different-aged cochlea. We report proteins exclusively present as well as up- and downregulated in the cochlear sensory epithelium at significant developmental stages. Additionally, we report proteins exclusively present on P3 that were recently identified in the cochlea for the first time. We use bioinformatics to provide insight on biological functions and potential primary and secondary partners of the differentially expressed proteins. This study provides the first differentially expressed proteome in the mammalian cochlea at significant developmental stages; before hearing, during the onset of hearing, and when hearing is fully developed. We believe that these results will provide insights into the function of proteins that change during development and identify potential protein biomarkers related to hearing impairments.

Project description:Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is the most common sensory disabling condition associated with aging in humans. Yet, there are still no approved measures for preventing or treating this debilitating condition. With its slow progression, continuous and safe treatment approaches are critical for ARHL treatment. Nicotinamide Riboside (NR), a NAD+ precursor, is well-tolerated even for long-term use and is already shown effective in various disease models including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Disease. However, its beneficial impact on ARHL is not known. In this study, we investigated transcriptomic profile in the cochlea of the mice (mtKeima strain) that are treated with NR for 10 months vs. non-treated.
