Project description:A deficiency of pejvakin, a protein of unknown function, causes a strikingly heterogeneous form of deafness. Pejvakin-deficient (Pjvk-/-) mice also exhibited variable auditory phenotypes. Correlation between their hearing thresholds and the number of pups per cage suggested a possible harmful effect of pup vocalizations. Direct sound or electrical stimulation showed that the cochlear sensory hair cells and auditory pathway neurons of Pjvk-/- mice and patients were exceptionally vulnerable to sound. Pjvk-/- cochleas displayed features of marked oxidative stress and impaired anti-oxidant defenses. We showed that pejvakin is associated with peroxisomes, and is required for the oxidative stress-induced proliferation of these organelles. In Pjvk-/- hair cells, peroxisomes displayed structural abnormalities after the onset of hearing. Noise-exposure of wild-type mice rapidly upregulated Pjvk cochlear transcription, and triggered peroxisome proliferation in hair cells and primary auditory neurons. Our results reveal that the anti-oxidant activity of peroxisomes protects the auditory system against noise-induced damage. Three RNA samples was extracted from dissected organ of Corti (OC) for each genotype (Pjvk-/- and Pjvk+/+ mice) and analyzed (triplicate OCmm-1, OCmm-2, and OCmm-3 for Pjvk-/-, and triplicate OCpp-1, OCpp-2, and OCpp-3 for Pjvk+/+).

Project description:The microRNA miR-96 is important for hearing; mutations in the seed region result in dominant progressive hearing loss in mice and humans. Mir96 is expressed in the sensory hair cells of the organ of Corti along with Mir182 and Mir183. miR-96 is a master regulator of hair cell development, controlling many genes in the organ of Corti, but the role of miR-182 and miR-183 in the hair cells is unknown. We carried out RNA-seq on mice carrying a knockout allele of Mir182, and mice carrying a double knockout allele of Mir183 and Mir96 (Mir183/96). RNA was extracted from the organ of Corti from P4 homozygotes and sex-matched wildtype littermates. Strand-specific libraries were prepared using the NuGEN Ovation Mouse RNA-Seq System 1-16 kit and sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq 2500 machine as paired-end 125bp reads.

Project description:Following up on our previous observation that early B cell factor (EBF) sites are enriched in open chromatin of the developing sensory epithelium of the mouse cochlea, we investigated the effect of deletion of Ebf1 on inner ear development. We used a Cre driver to delete Ebf1 at the otocyst stage prior to development of the cochlea. These animals survived and were fertile. We examined the cochlea at postnatal day (P) 1 and found that the sensory epithelium had doubled in size but the length of the cochlear duct was unaffected. We also found that deletion of Ebf1 led to ectopic sensory patches in the Kölliker’s organ. Innervation of the developing organ of Corti was disrupted with no obvious spiral bundles. The ectopic patches were also innervated. All the extra hair cells (HCs) within the sensory epithelium and Kölliker’s organ contained mechanoelectrical transduction channels as indicated by rapid uptake of FM1-43. The excessive numbers of HCs were still present in the adult Ebf1 conditional knockout (cKO) animal. The animals had no detectable auditory brainstem response (ABR) suggesting that this gene is essential for hearing development.

Project description:We evaluated the effects of pioglitazone in mouse organ of Corti (OC) explants to characterize its influence on signaling pathways involved in auditory hair cell damage. Organ of Corti explants were cultured with pioglitazone, gentamicin, or a combination of both agents. Pioglitazone treatment resulted in a significant repression of interferon (IFN)-alpha and -gamma pathways and downstream cytokines, as assessed by RNA sequencing and quantitative PCR gene expression assays. More detailed investigation at the single gene and protein level showed that pioglitazone mediated its anti-inflammatory effects through alterations of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) and STAT pathways. Together, these results indicate that pioglitazone significantly represses IFN and TLR in the cochlea, dampening the activity of gentamicin-induced pathways. These data support our previous results demonstrating significant protection of auditory hair cells in organ of Corti explants exposed to pioglitazone and other PPAR-targeted agents.

Project description:Age-related hearing loss is a progressive sensorineural hearing loss that occurs as people get older. Degeneration of the organ of Corti and atrophy of the lateral wall of the cochlear duct (or scala media) in the inner ear are the two primary causes. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of short non-coding RNAs that regulate the expression of mRNA/protein targets, are important regulators of cellular senescence and aging. We examined the change of miRNA gene expression profiles in the lateral wall of the cochlear duct in two mouse strains during aging The totoal RNA was extracted from the lateral wall of cochlear duct from CBA/J and C57BL/6J mice at different ages. The expression profile of miRNAs was examined by miR microarray GeneChip.

Project description:Mutations affecting the microRNA miR-96 have been found to cause progressive hearing loss in humans and in mice. These initial mutations were all semidominant, so phenotypes were present in heterozygous carriers. The similarity of the phenotype between the different mutations suggested that it was the loss of normal function of Mir96 that underlay the hearing impairment. However, more recent studies of null alleles of Mir96 and the nearby Mir183, and of Mir96, Mir182 and Mir183 all together, showed that heterozygous carriers of the null alleles have no hearing phenotype, suggesting that the gain of novel targets due to the changed seed sequence resulting from point mutations is important in the Mir96 mutant phenotype, not just the loss of normal targeting. Previous transcriptome analyses of the Mir96 mutant organ of Corti showed that miR-96 controls a broad regulatory network, suggesting that a better understanding of the core genes – particularly the direct targets of miR-96 – may suggest candidate therapeutic targets. We carried out RNA-seq on mice carrying the two seed region point mutations reported in human families. RNA was extracted from the organ of Corti from four day-old homozygotes and sex-matched wildtype littermates. Strand-specific libraries were prepared following the “TruSeq Stranded mRNA Sample Preparation Guide” with the corresponding kit [Illumina Inc. Cat.# RS-122-2101 or RS-122-2102], and sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq 4000 machine as paired-end 101bp reads.

Project description:Characterizing adult cochlear supporting cell transcriptional diversity using scRNA-Seq Hearing loss is a significant disability that impacts 432 million people worldwide. A significant proportion of these individuals are dissatisfied with or do not have access to available treatment options which include hearing aids and cochlear implants. An alternative approach to restore hearing would be to regenerate lost cells, including hair cells in the adult cochlea. Such therapy would require restoration of the organ of Corti’s complex architecture, necessitating regeneration of both mature hair cells and supporting cells. We characterize the first single-cell adult cochlear supporting cell transcriptomes with the goals of: (1) demonstrating their transcriptional distinctiveness from perinatal cochlear supporting cells, (2) providing a metric for future attempts at regenerating mature cochlear supporting cells by identifying both cell type-specific and regional-specific expression, and (3) identify cell cycle gene expression present in adult supporting cells at the single cell level which may establish a basis for targeting cell cycle regulation pathways to force these cells out of quiescence.
