Prdm1a is at the Core of Lateral Line Sensory Hair Cell Developmental and Evolutionary Gene Regulatory Networks

ABSTRACT: In vertebrates, mechanosensory hair cells (HCs) in the ear transduce vibrations into sound. Aquatic vertebrates possess exterior lateral line HCs to detect water vibrations to orient themselves and for predator avoidance. HCs in many species regenerate following death, but mammalian HCs lack this ability, causing hearing/vestibular defects. Experimentally-induced regeneration in mice results in incomplete differentiation of immature HCs. Here, we show that the transcription factor prdm1a controls the lateral line HC network in zebrafish. Loss of prdm1a results in a significant loss of hair cells and causes proliferation and regeneration defects. scRNA-seq and ATAC-seq demonstrate a HC fate switch, and ectopically expressing prdm1a and cloning and mutating enhancers demonstrates direct interaction between prdm1a and putative target genes behind the altered cell fate. Therefore, prdm1a is an ideal gene for investigating the network needed to correctly differentiate a functioning HC, a major unmet milestone in restoring hearing.

Characterization of the transcriptomes of Atoh1-induced hair cells in the mouse cochlea

Project description:Mammalian cochlea hair cells can be regenerated from the adjacent supporting cells in many ways, however, the newly hair cells are immature and without hearing function almost. The expression of Atoh1 is an important maker of the appearance of newly hair cells, many approaches of inner ear hair cells’ regeneration are concerned with the transcription factor Atoh1. However, most new HCs are immature HCs, and they do not have the function of mature HCs and eventually die a few weeks after regeneration. Thus promoting the maturation and survival of new HCs is the primary focus of HC regeneration field. We used RNA-Seq analysis to compare the differences between the transcriptomes of Atoh1 overexpression-induced new HCs and the original HCs, and to define the factors that might help to promote the maturation and survival of new HCs.

Long-range Atoh1 enhancers maintain competency for hair cell regeneration in the inner ear

Project description:During tissue regeneration, lineage-related cells can switch their fate to replace missing cells. This cell plasticity is particularly prominent in more regenerative vertebrates such as zebrafish, yet the molecular basis by which cells transdifferentiate into another cell type upon injury remains unclear. Here we investigate the epigenetic basis of regenerative transdifferentiation in the inner ear, where supporting cells (SCs) generate mechanosensory hair cells (HCs) upon damage. By comparing the chromatin landscapes in regenerative zebrafish and green anole lizards versus non-regenerative mice, we identified a class of enhancers that function in progenitors to generate HCs and then are selectively maintained in SCs of regenerative vertebrates to regenerate HCs. In particular, we uncovered a syntenic class of long-range enhancers for Atoh1, a master transcription factor for HC differentiation. In the absence of injury, these enhancers maintain accessibility in SCs through adulthood but are prevented from driving zebrafish atoh1a expression through Notch repression. Deletion of these enhancers not only impaired atoh1a expression and HC formation during development but also blocked the ability of SCs to transdifferentiate into HCs during regeneration. Moreover, defects were specific to the inner ear versus the lateral line, revealing distinct mechanisms of regeneration in these mechanosensory organs. These findings reveal a class of regenerative enhancer that maintains competency of inner ear SCs to upregulate atoh1a and transdifferentiate into HCs upon damage. We propose that the continued accessibility of developmental enhancers for one cell fate in lineage-related cells may be a common theme underlying adult cell plasticity in regenerative vertebrates.

Utricle Laser Timecourse

Project description:Much of human hearing loss is caused by loss of auditory hair cell (HC) function. Mammals cannot regenerate these essential mechanoelectrical transducers of sound. However, birds have retained the ability to regenerate HCs from surrounding supporting cells. To better understand hair cell regeneration, we have expression profiled the sensory epithelia from chicken cochleae and utricles. Pure sensory epithelia, consisting of HCs plus supporting cells, were damaged with either neomycin or laser treatment. Changes in gene expression at various points during regeneration were compared to undamaged control cultures on a custom microarray that interrogates the vast majority of transcription factor (TF) genes. These experiments involved multiple biological samples and hundreds of microarray comparisons. Keywords: timecourse

Emx2 defines bidirectional polarity of neuromasts by changing hair-bundle orientation and not hair-cell positions

Project description:The bidirectional sensitivity of neuromasts to water flow in the zebrafish lateral line system is attributed to the opposite orientation of the hair bundles on top of sensory hair cells (HC) within a neuromast. After each HC precursor divides to form two nascent HCs, HCs of the same bundle orientation are positioned on one side of the neuromast, across from HCs with opposite bundle orientation. The transcription factor emx2 is expressed in only one of the sibling HCs. Loss or gain of function of emx2 in HCs causes unidirectional hair bundle orientation in neuromasts. It is not clear whether Emx2 is required specifically in establishing hair bundle orientation after HC formation or Emx2 has an earlier role in HC fate and/or positioning, which indirectly changes hair bundle orientation. A phenomenon, in which nascent sibling HCs exchange positions with each other, has been postulated to be the mechanism for HCs to acquire their designated positions within the neuromast. We asked whether Emx2 is involved in positional acquisition of HCs within the neuromast. Using live-imaging and our emx2 reporter we find that the HC rearrangement, redefined as two processes named Rock & Roll are required for HCs to acquire their positions. Although Emx2 regulates the duration of the Rock and the frequency of Roll of nascent HCs, it is not required for their positional acquisition. Instead, Emx2 regulates the morphology of nascent HCs, which facilitates the rearrangement process.

Transcriptome-wide comparison of the impact of Atoh1 and miR-183 family on pluripotent stem cells and multipotent otic progenitors

Project description:Hair cells (HCs) are the mechanoreceptors responsible for hearing and balance in the inner ear. Multiple factors cause HC loss including aging, noise exposure and genetic predisposition. A barrier to hearing restoration after HC loss is the inability of mammalian auditory HCs to spontaneously regenerate. Multiple factors are shown to be crucial for HC development and represent good candidates for regenerative studies. Atoh1 is widely accepted to be necessary and contextually sufficient for driving HC fate. Furthermore, the miRNA-183 family is known to be expressed at the time of HC differentiation, and mutations in miR-96 (one member of the family) can cause deafness both in mouse and human. Our goal is to identify and compare the impact of Atoh1/miR-183 family alone and in combination on the transcriptome of two different developmental cell models; mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) and immortalized multipotent otic progenitors (iMOPs)

Transcriptomic Analysis of Adult Zebrafish Inner Ear Hair Cells

Project description:To understand the basic biological property of hair cells (HCs) from lower vertebrates, we examined transcriptomes of adult zebrafish HCs. GFP-labeled HCs were isolated from the utricle, saccule, and lagena, the three inner-ear sensory epithelia of a pou4f3 promoter-driven GAP-GFP line of transgenic zebrafish. 2,000 HCs and 2,000 non-sensory cells from the inner ear were individually collected by suction pipet technique. RNA sequencing was performed and the resulting sequences were mapped, analyzed, and compared. Comparisons allow us to identify enriched genes in HCs, which may underlie HC specialization.

EDNRB2 regulates fate determination, migration and maturation of hair-cell precursors in regenerating avian auditory epithelia

Project description:The mammalian cochlea loses the ability for hair cell (HC) regeneration after birth, while in the avian auditory epithelium, namely the basilar papilla (BP), supporting cells (SCs) retain the capability for HC regeneration throughout life. Our previous study using single-cell RNA sequencing indicated stepwise fate conversion of SCs to HCs via the precursor state, in which EDNRB2 exhibited specifically high expression, in the process of HC regeneration in chick BP. The present study aimed to reveal a distinct role of EDNRB2 in HC regeneration in chick BP. During HC regeneration in chick BP explant cultures, EDNRB2 expression emerged in a part of ATOH1-expressing SCs immediately after HC loss and decreased according to the progress of HC regeneration process. In embryonic chick BP, EDNRB2 expression was specifically identified in the precursor cell state, which confirmed that mature SCs were reprogrammed to the precursor state in response to HC loss. Pharmacological inhibition of endothelin receptor type B (EDNRB) signaling decreased regenerated HCs in chick BP explant cultures. RNA sequencing revealed that inhibition of EDNRB signaling downregulated genes for HC differentiation and maturation together with genes for cell migration. Histological assessments clarified the deterioration of migration of HC precursors and the delay of HC regeneration processes by inhibition of EDNRB signaling. These results indicate that the expression of EDNRB2 contributes to the fate determination of HCs and that EDNRB signaling regulates the migration and maturation of HC precursors during chick HC regeneration.
