Ptch1/Shh signaling control cochlear marginal cell differentiation and stria vascularis formation


ABSTRACT: The stria vascularis (SV) is an intricate non-sensory structure composed of multiple cell layers of different origins in the mammalian cochlea. It generates and maintains the endolymph, and therefore is essential for hearing functions. Here, using single cell transcriptomics and transgenic mouse models, we discover that the Shh receptor Ptch1 is required for marginal cell (MC, the epithelial cell layer of SV) differentiation and SV development. During cochlear development, MC differentiation gradually proceeds from cochlear base to apex, resembling the spatiotemporal differentiation pattern of sensory hair cells. Inactivation of Ptch1 leads to an impaired MC differentiation through elevated Gli2 levels, and inhibition of Gli2/Shh signaling activity is a prerequisite for MC differentiation. Single cell transcriptome analyses reveal that MCs are specified as early as E14. Moreover, in the absence of Ptch1, MC precursors are maintained in the progenitor state and differentiation is blocked consequently.
