Pseudo-temporal analysis of Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals trans-differentiation potential of Greater Epithelial Ridge cells into hair cells during postnatal development of cochlea in Rats

ABSTRACT: The hair cells of the cochlea play a decisive role in the process of hearing damage and recovery, yet knowledge of their regeneration process is still limited. Greater epithelial ridge (GER) cells, a type of cell present during cochlear development that has the characteristics of a precursor sensory cell, disappear at the time of maturation of hearing development. Its development and evolution remain mysterious for many years. Here, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing to profile the gene expression landscapes of rats' cochlear duct from P1, P7, and P14 and identified eight major subtypes of GER cells. Furthermore, single-cell trajectory analysis for GER cells and hair cells indicated that among the different subtypes of GER, four subtypes had transient cell proliferation after birth and could transdifferentiate into inner and outer hair cells, and two of them mainly transdifferentiated into inner hair cells. The other two subtypes eventually transdifferentiate into outer hair cells. Our study lays the groundwork for elucidating the mechanisms of the key regulatory genes and signaling pathways in the trans-differentiation of GER cell subtypes into hair cells and provides potential clues to understand hair cell regeneration.

scRNA-seq of P2 mouse cochlea

Project description:Purpose and Methods: Cochlear sensory hair cells (HCs) are essential for our sense of hearing. They are embedded in the organ of Corti that lacks regenerative capacity, which is a major cause of hearing loss. However, some neonatal non-sensory cells in the organ of Corti display a limited regenerative ability. We used fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) to isolate different cochlear cell types from postnatal day 2 (P2) mice to assess the individual cell groups’ potential to grow organoids and to generate new HCs. Single-cell RNAseq validated the composition of the cell types in the sorted cell groups. Results and Conclusions: The greater epithelial ridge (GER), a transient tissue that only exists in the neonatal inner ear, harbored the most potent organoid-forming cells. GER-derived organoids expanded into large colonies when cultured adherently and gave rise to new hair cell marker-expressing cells in a sensory epithelia-resembling organization. The organoid forming ability of GER cells was synergistically enhanced when they were cultured at increasing density. The synergistic effect relied on direct cell-to-cell contact rather than released soluble factors.

Molecular changes associated with biological aging of cochlear hair cells

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.

Temporal profiling of gene expression in cochleae of wild type and alpha9 null mice

Project description:Efferent inhibition of cochlear outer hair cells is mediated by nicotinic cholinergic receptors containing alpha9 (a9) and alpha10 subunits. Mice lacking a9 nicotinic subunits fail to exhibit classic olivocochlear responses and are characterized by abnormal synaptic morphology at the base of outer hair cells. To detail molecular changes induced upon the loss of a9 subunit, we sampled cochlear RNA from wild type and a9 null mice at postnatal (P) days spanning periods of synapse formation and maturation (P3, P7, P13 and P60). Our findings point to a delay in cochlear maturation starting at the onset of hearing (P13), as well as an up-regulation of various GABA receptor subunits in adult mice lacking the a9 nicotinic subunit. Cochleae were removed at postnatal ages P3, P7, P13 and P60. Cochlear tissues from 3-5 mice were pooled per replicate; biological triplicates were performed for each age and genotype.

Derivation of cochlear organoids from human pluripotent stem cells reveals tight transcriptome-structure coupling during organogenesis

Project description:A balance of morphogen gradients during embryogenesis is thought to determine the identity of inner ear end organs. We applied this developmental principle to aggregates of human pluripotent stem cells and found that modulations of Sonic Hedgehog and WNT signaling promote stem cell-derived otic progenitors to express ventral otic markers. Strikingly, these ventralized otic progenitors gave rise to hair cells with short hair bundles comprised of stereocilia arrayed in a geometry reminiscent of cochlear hair cells. Moreover, these ventralized hair cells expressed multiple markers defining outer or inner hair cells in the cochlea. These results reveal that early morphogenic signals are sufficient for not only establishing cochlear gene expression, but also defining structural properties pertaining to the cochlear sensory epithelium.

RNA-sequence facilitates analyze changes of signaling pathways after drug treatment

Project description:Mammalian cochlear hair cells cannot regenerate after damage, which was a cause of hearing loss. Due to the small number of cochlear hair cells, we were unable to collect enough cells for research. Therefore, we have established a inner ear organoid model in this way, which greatly expands the number of supporting cells, Lgr5 and gradually mature hair cells. It can be used in high-throughput screening experiments. Using this model for high-throughput screening of FDA small molecule Drug, we found that Regorafenib can promote hair cell regeneration in vitro and get more mature regenerated hair cells. And we found that Regorfenib was though a new VEGF-TGFB axis to regulate hair cell regeneration.

Mapping the developmental potential of mouse inner ear organoids at single-cell resolution

Project description:Inner ear organoids recapitulate development and are intended to generate cell types of the otic lineage for applications such as basic science research and cell replacement strategies. Here, we use single-cell sequencing to study the cellular heterogeneity of late-stage mouse inner ear organoid sensory epithelia, which we validated by comparison with data sets of the mouse cochlea and vestibular epithelia. We resolved supporting cell sub-types, cochlear like hair cells, and vestibular Type I and Type II like hair cells. While cochlear like hair cells aligned best with an outer hair cell trajectory, vestibular like hair cells followed developmental trajectories similar to in vivo programs branching into Type II and then Type I extrastriolar hair cells. These results highlight the transcriptional accuracy of the organoid developmental program but will also inform future strategies to improve synaptic connectivity and regional specification.

Mass spectrometry identification of proteins of isolated auditory and vestibular hair cells using data-independent and data-dependent acquisition

Project description:Hair cells undergo postnatal development that leads to formation of their sensory organelles, synaptic machinery, and in the case of cochlear outer hair cells, their electromotile mechanism. To examine the proteome changes over development, we isolated pools of 5000 Pou4f3-Gfp positive or negative cells from the cochlea or utricles; these cell pools were analyzed by data-dependent and data-independent acquisition (DDA and DIA) mass spectrometry. DDA data were used to generate spectral libraries, which enabled identification and accurate quantitation of specific proteins using the DIA datasets. We also isolated and pooled individual inner and outer hair cells from adult cochlea and compared their proteomes to those of developing hair cells. The DDA and DIA datasets will be valuable for accurately quantifying proteins in hair cells and non-hair cells over this developmental window.

Dual expression of Atoh1 and Ikzf2 promotes transformation of adult cochlear supporting cells into outer hair cells

Project description:Mammalian cochlear outer hair cells (OHCs) are essential for hearing. Severe hearing impairment follows OHC degeneration. Previous attempts at regenerating new OHCs from cochlear supporting cells (SCs) have been unsuccessful, notably lacking expression of the key OHC motor protein, Prestin. Thus, regeneration of Prestin+ OHCs represented a barrier to restoring auditory function in vivo. Here, we reported the successful in vivo conversion of adult mouse cochlear SCs into Prestin+ OHC-like cells through the concurrent induction of two key transcriptional factors known to be necessary for OHC development: Atoh1 and Ikzf2. Single cell RNA sequencing reveals the upregulation of 729 OHC genes and downregulation of 331 SC genes in OHC-like cells. The resulting differentiation status of these OHC-like cells was much more advanced than previously achieved. This study thus established an efficient approach to induce the regeneration of Prestin+ OHCs, paving the way for in vivo cochlear repair via SC transdifferentiation.
