High-resolution transcriptional analysis reveals stepwise fate conversion of supporting cells to hair cells in the chicken auditory epithelium

ABSTRACT: In contrast to mammals, the avian cochlea, specifically the basilar papilla, can regenerate sensory hair cells, which involves fate conversion of supporting cells to hair cells. To determine the mechanisms for converting supporting cells to hair cells, we used single-cell RNA sequencing during hair cell regeneration in explant cultures of chick basilar papillae. We identified dynamic changes in the gene expression of supporting cells, and the pseudotime trajectory analysis demonstrated the stepwise fate conversion from supporting cells to hair cells. Initially, supporting cell identity was erased and transition to the precursor state occurred. A subsequent gain in hair cell identity progressed together with downregulation of precursor-state genes. Transforming growth factor beta receptor 1-mediated signaling was involved in induction of the initial step, and its inhibition resulted in suppression of hair cell regeneration. Our data provide new insights for understanding fate conversion from supporting cells to hair cells in avian basilar papillae.

Ignition of supporting cell activation for hair cell regeneration in the avian auditory epithelium: an explant culture model

Project description:Sensorineural hearing loss is included in the most common disabilities, and often caused by loss of sensory hair cells in the cochlea. Hair cell regeneration has long been a main target for developing novel therapeutics for sensorineural hearing loss. In the mammalian cochlea, hair cell regeneration occurs in very limited situations, while auditory epithelia of non-mammalians retain the capacity for hair cell regeneration. In the avian basilar papilla, an auditory sensory epithelium, supporting cells, which are sources for regenerated hair cells, are usually quiescent, while hair cell loss induces both direct transdifferentiation of supporting cells and mitotic division of supporting cells. In the present study, we aimed to establish an explant culture model for hair cell regeneration in chick basilar papillae, and validated usefulness of our model to investigate the initial phase of hair cell regeneration. Histological assessments demonstrated that hair cell regeneration via direct transdifferentiation of supporting cells occurred in our model. Labeling assay using 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) revealed the occurrence of mitotic division of supporting cells in the specific location in basilar papillae, while no EdU labeling was identified in newly generated HCs. RNA sequencing indicated alterations in known signaling pathways associated with hair cell regeneration, which is consistent with previous findings. In addition, unbiased analyses of RNA sequencing data indicated novel genes and signaling pathways that could be related to the ignition of supporting cell activation in chick basilar papillae. These results indicate the advantages of our model using explant cultures of chick basilar papillae for exploring molecular mechanisms for hair cell regeneration. Further studies such as single-cell RNA sequencing will allow us to capture the spatiotemporal information by using our explant culture model.

Transcription profiling by array of chicken quiescent and proliferating auditory epithelia

Project description:In order to gain insight into the molecular events which underlie auditory hair cell regeneration in chicken, we compared gene expression in chicken basilar papillae after 24, 48, and 72 hours in culture with or without forskolin (100uM).<br><br>Under sterile conditions, cochlear ducts containing the basilar papillae were carefully dissected out of ~4-day-old chicks and then individually cultured in DMEM with 10% fetal bovine serum with or without forskolin (final concentration 100 ?M, delivered in 1% DMSO) for either 24, 48, or 72 hours at 37ï¾°C. Control samples received DMSO at 1% as a vehicle control. At the end of 3 days, the tegmentum vasculosum was dissected off to expose the auditory epithelium, which was delicately freed from the underlying cartilaginous plates. All explants were kept in culture for 3 days because new hair cells are first seen in basilar papillae treated with forskolin after ~3 days of exposure to the drug [19]. Therefore, at even earlier time points in culture the molecular events that subserve hair cell proliferation are well underway. Each sample was comprised of 3 auditory epithelia from 3 different chicks which were put in ~100 ?L of DMEM and then immediately frozen at -80ï¾°C until RNA isolation could be performed. There were a total of 24 samples in this experiment: six 72-hour forskolin, six 72-hour control, three 48-hour forskolin, three 48-hour control, three 24-hour forskolin, and three 24-hour control.

Paracrine TGFß Signaling Counterbalances BMP-Mediated Repression in Hair Follicle Stem Cell Activation

Project description:Hair follicle (HF) regeneration begins when communication between quiescent epithelial stem cells (SCs) and underlying mesenchymal dermal papillae (DP) generates sufficient activating cues to overcome repressive BMP signals from surrounding niche cells. We uncovered a hitherto unrecognized DP transmitter, TGFβ2, which activates Smad2/3 transiently in HFSCs concomitant with entry into tissue regeneration. We used microarrays to detect the genes specifically affected by TGFß receptor II-deficient mice upon HFSC activation. Hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) of hair gem (HG) and bulge, and total skin keratinocytes were FACS-purified from the mouse back skin at 2nd telogen-to-anagen transition stages.

Cell-type identity of the avian utricle

Project description:The avian utricle, a vestibular organ of the inner ear, displays turnover of sensory hair cells throughout life. This is in sharp contrast to the mammalian utricle, which shows limited regenerative capacity. Here, we use single-cell RNA-sequencing to identify distinct marker genes for the different sensory hair cell subtypes of the chicken utricle, which we validated in situ . We provide markers for spatially distinct supporting cell populations, and identified two transitional cell populations of dedifferentiating supporting cells and developing hair cells. Trajectory reconstruction resulted in an inventory of gene expression dynamics of natural hair cell generation in the avian utricle.

Gene Expression from hair cells and supporting cells in chick utricle

Project description:In adult mammals, hair cell loss is irreversible and may result in hearing and balance deficits. In contrast, birds can regenerate hair cells through differentiation of supporting cells and restore inner ear function, suggesting that hair cell progenitors are present in the population of supporting cells. We used microarrays to identify novel genes related to the regeneration in the chicken utricle. Supporting cell and hair cell populations of chicken utricle obtained by laser capture microdissection, following to do RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Enhancer decommissioning during inner ear maturation imposes an epigenetic barrier to sensory hair cell regeneration

Project description:Latent transdifferentiation potential exists in supporting cells at neonatal stage in the organ of Corti in mouse, but this plasticity is lost rapidly during the first week of postnatal maturation, leading to the failure of sensory hair cell regeneration. To investigate the molecular mechanism underlying the loss of transdifferentiation potential, we compared epigenetic changes in E17.5, P1 and P6 supporting cells. In E17.5 and P1 supporting cells, hair cell gene enhancers are kept in a primed state (H3K4me1+ H3K27ac-) which can be readily activated during transdifferentiation induced by Notch blocking. As supporting cells mature, a substantial amount of hair cell gene enhancers are decommissioned by H3K4me1, leading to the loss of transdifferentiation potential. In contrast, hair cell gene enhancers retain their commissioned epigenetic status in mature utricular supporting cells, sustaining the transidifferentiation potential in utricular supporting cells in mature animals. Our findings reveal the epigenetic mechanisms underlying the failure of sensory hair cell regeneration in mammalian cochlea.

Transcriptomic and epigenetic analysis of neonatal supporting cells during Notch inhibition-induced transdifferentiation

Project description:Latent regeneration potential has been found in neonatal supporting cells in the organ of Corti in mouse. Upon Notch inhibition by DAPT, postnatal day 1 (P1) supporting cells transdifferentiate into hair cells. To profile the transcriptomic and epigenetic changes in supporting cells during transdifferentiation, we FACS purified supporting cells from DAPT treated cochleae for RNAseq, ATACseq and H3K27ac CUT&RUN. We found that hair cell genes were up-regulated in supporting cells after DAPT treatment and that hair cell gene induction was accompanied by epigentic activation of hair cell gene cis-regulatory elements through chromatin accessibility increase and H3K27ac accumulation, suggesting the regulatory roles of epigenetic activation of hair cell gene elements for hair cell gene expression induction.
