A Novel LMX1A Frameshift Variant Underlies Familial Phenotypic Heterogeneity in DFNA7

ABSTRACT: Hereditary hearing loss (HHL) exhibits significant genetic heterogeneity, with mutations in LMX1A related to autosomal dominant non-syndromic hearing loss (DFNA7). Here, we report a novel heterozygous frameshift variant, LMX1A c.405delT (p. Phe135LeufsTer3) in a three-generation Chinese family with progressive and asymmetric sensorineural hearing loss (ASNHL). Clinical evaluations revealed variable severity (mild-to-profound) and onset (infancy to mid-adulthood), with cochlear aperture stenosis observed in the proband. Whole exon sequencing (WES), Sanger sequencing and segregation analysis confirmed the novel mutation and its cosegregation with the phenotype. Structural modeling predicted that truncation within the conserved LIM2 domain disrupts protein function. Functional studies demonstrated reduced transcriptional activity, supporting haploinsufficiency as the pathogenic mechanism. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) of HEI-OC1 cells revealed dysregulation of neurodevelopmental, synaptic and mitochondrial pathways, implicating neurodegeneration and metabolic dysfunction in LMX1A-related hearing loss. This study highlights the role of LMX1A in auditory homeostasis, provides insights into genotype-phenotype correlations and underscores structural cochlear anomalies as potential contributors to ASNHL.

Integration of transcriptomics and proteomics uncovers novel targets underlying the protective effects of Nrf2 knockout in HEI-OC1 cells

Project description:Cisplatin, a utilized anticancer drug in clinical practice, induces sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in patients. However, the precise mechanism underlying cisplatin-associated ototoxicity remains unknown. HEI-OC1 cells are immortalized cells derived from the organs of Corti mice and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 （Nrf2） knockout (KO) significantly enhances cisplatin resistance in these cells. The exploration of transcriptomic data from Nrf2 KO has significant implications for the identification of novel targets to enhance HEI-OC1 cisplatin resistance in Nrf2 KO and for understanding the biological characteristics associated with SNHL. The RNA-seq analysis revealed a significant enrichment of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the Nrf2 KO model within key signaling pathways, including the PI3K-Akt, MAPK, as well as Glutathione metabolism signaling pathways. Notably, expression levels of 17 specific genes were confirmed by RT-qPCR (Real-time Quantitative-PCR). The biomarkers identified in this study may be key to understanding the biological mechanism by which Nrf2 KO strongly increases HEI-OC1 cisplatin resistance, and by targeting the PI3K-Akt, MAPK, Glutathione metabolism signaling pathways provide new ideas for the prevention and treatment of cisplatin-induced SNHL.

The cargos and roles of small extracellular vesicles from cochlear explants in cisplatin-induced ototoxicity

Project description:Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) play an important role in intercellular communication as well as pathological development. Here, to explore the roles of sEVs in the progression of cisplatin-induced ototoxicity, we isolated sEVs from the conditioned culture medium of cisplatin-induced cochlear explants (Cis-sEVs) and the control group (Ctrl-sEVs) and profiled their cargos using label-free LC-MS/MS. Numerous proteins involved in the regulation of the damage response were enriched in the Cis-sEVs. Cltc, Cct2, and Hspa8, which are potentially involved in protein homeostasis and autophagy, are up-regulated in Cis-sEVs compared to Ctrl-sEVs but not in cisplatin-damaged cochlear tissue or in HEI-OC1 cell lysates.

Unraveling the Molecular Landscape of Lead-Induced Cochlear Synaptopathy: A Quantitative Proteomic Analysis

Project description:This study investigates how lead exposure triggers cochlear synaptopathy and hearing loss in mice. Young-adult CBA/J mice were given lead acetate in drinking water for 28 days. We assessed hearing thresholds, outer hair cell activity, and synaptic changes in the cochlea. Lead exposure raises hearing thresholds, indicating cochlear synaptopathy. Notably affects synapses in the basal turn without impacting outer hair cells. In addition to this, lead altered the abundance of 352 synaptic proteins, with the synaptic vesicle cycle pathway prominently affected. Lead-induced cochlear synaptopathy targets basal cochlear regions, implicating synaptic vesicle cycle signaling in hearing loss. Revealing specific mechanisms behind lead-induced hearing deficits enhances targeted interventions and preventive strategies, advancing our understanding of lead induced hearing loss.

EH004: Lmx1a encodes a rostral set of mesodiencephalic dopaminergic neurons marked by the Wnt/b-catenin signaling activator Rspo2

Project description:Recent developments in molecular programming of mesodiencephalic dopaminergic (mdDA) neurons have led to the identification of many transcription factors playing a role in mdDA specification. LIM homeodomain transcription factor Lmx1a is essential for chick mdDA development, and for the efficient differentiation of ES-cells towards a dopaminergic phenotype. In this study, we aimed towards a more detailed understanding of the subtle phenotype in Lmx1a-dr/dr mice. Therefore, microarray analysis was performed, to elucidate the exact molecular programming underlying the neuronal deficits after loss of Lmx1a. Subsequent expression analysis confirmed that Nurr1 is regulated by Lmx1a, and additional downstream targets were identified, like Pou4f1, Pbx1, Pitx2, C130021l20Rik, Calb2 and Rspo2. In line with a specific, rostral-lateral loss of expression of most of these genes during development, Nurr1 and C130021l20Rik were affected in the SNc of the mature mdDA system. Interestingly, this deficit was marked by the complete loss of the Wnt/b-catenin signaling activator Rspo2 in this domain. Expression analysis in Rspo2-/- embryos revealed affected mdDA neurons, partially phenocopying the Lmx1a mutant. Together, in this study we reveal that Lmx1a is essential for a rostral-lateral subset of the mdDA neuronal field, where it might serve a critical function in modulating proliferation and differentiation of mdDA progenitors through the activation of the Wnt activator Rspo2. Microarray expression study comparing 4 samples of homozygous LMX1A dr/dr mice, midbrain E12.5 with a pooled sample of their wt/wt littermates. Two samples were analyzed in opposite dye orientation.
