Functional, sustained recovery of hearing in Otoferlin-deficient mice using DB-OTO, a hair cell-specific AAV based dual vector gene therapy

ABSTRACT: Biallelic loss-of-function variants in the Otoferlin gene (OTOF) lead to congenital severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss in both humans and in mice. We developed DB-OTO, a hair cell-specific adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based dual-vector gene therapy designed to provide hearing to individuals with OTOF-related hearing loss. DB-OTO is composed of two AAV1 vectors that reconstitute a functional hOTOF gene expression cassette to form the full-length human OTOF isoform 5. A promoter based on the murine Myosin 15 (mMyo15) gene promoter was engineered to restrict the transgene expression to hair cells. The promoter construct was chosen after comparison of multiple variants using a GFP reporter in ex vivo murine explant models, followed by in vivo studies in wild-type mice and in cynomolgus monkeys. Comparison between the 1.0 kb mMyo15 and a ubiquitous promoter driving expression of hOTOFv5 transgene in mice showed that hair cell-specific expression is critical for safe expression of Otoferlin. DB-OTO induced dose-dependent establishment of auditory brainstem response and OTOF expression in inner hair cells over a 10-fold dose range sustained for at least 3 months in a mouse model of OTOF-deficiency. These data supported the initiation of a Phase 1/2 clinical trial of DB-OTO in pediatric patients with OTOF-related hearing loss.

Gene expression profiles in the inner ears of Fscn2 knockout mice compared with the control mice

Project description:Fscn2-/- mouse is a typical model of age-related hearing loss which exhibits progressive hearing impairment and outer hair cell loss from 3 weeks of age. To investigate the molecular mechanism of hearing loss in Fscn2 knockout mice, gene expression profiling was performed on the inner ears for Fscn2+/+ and Fscn2-/- mice at 8 weeks of age using microarray analysis. Hearing screening tests at 8 weeks of age showed that the auditory brainstem response thresholds of Fscn2-/- mice were increased to 70-75 dB SPL at stimuli of click, while those of Fscn2+/+ mice were within the normal range(< 55 dB SPL). Microarray analysis identified a total of 244 differentially expressed mRNAs, including 72 upregulated and 172 downregulated genes, and a total of 688 differentially expressed lncRNAs, including 300 upregulated and 388 downregulated genes in Fscn2-/- mice, compared to Fscn2+/+ mice.

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.

Single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) of GFP+cells isolated from Tg(Brn3c:mGFP) 6 days zebrafish with GFP expression in all hair cells.

Project description:Hair cells play key roles in hearing and balance, and hair cell loss would result in hearing loss or vestibular dysfunction. Zebrafsh, owing to their hair cell-enriched organs, have been widely applied in hair cell-related research worldwide. In this study, we analyzed the GFP+cells isolated from Tg(Brn3c:mGFP) larvae with GFP expression in all hair cells using single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq). Three subtypes of hair cells, namely macula hair cell (MHC), crista hair cell (CHC), and neuromast hair cell (NHC), were characterized and validated by whole-mount in situ hybridization analysis of marker genes. The hair cell scRNA-seq data revealed hair cell-specifc genes, including hearing loss genes that have been identifed in humans and novel genes potentially involved in hair cell formation and function.

Molecular changes associated with biological aging of cochlear hair cells

Project description:Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is a progressive sensorineural hearing loss that occurs as people get older. As many as 35% to 50% of the population aged between 65 and 75 have ARHL. Although age-related changes in the central auditory system can contribute to hearing impairment, degeneration of the mechanosensitive hair cells in the cochlea is the prevalent cause of ARHL. The molecular mechanisms of hair cell aging are largely unknown. To provide a comprehensive dataset of age-related genes and pathways in hair cells, we individually collected inner and outer hair cells, the two types of sensory receptor cells in the cochlea, from 9- and 26-month-old CBA/J mice and performed cell type-specific transcriptomic analysis. Our analysis showed a significant reduction of the expression of genes related to hair cell structure and function such as Tmc1, Kcnq4, Kcnj13, Slc7a14, Slc17a8, Chrna9/Chrna10, and Slc26a5. Our hair cell-specific transcriptome analysis provides a rich resource for mechanistic studies of biological aging of cochlear hair cells.

Expression profiling of cochlear ducts from P8 Gfi1cre/+ and Gfi1+/+ mice

Project description:The Gfi1-Cre mouse is commonly used for conditional hair cell-specific gene deletion/activation in the inner ear. However, we have shown that these mice produce a pattern of recombination that is not strictly limited to hair cells, and that Gfi1cre/+ mice exhibit an early onset progressive hearing loss as compared with their wildtype littermates. Here we performed a transcriptome analysis of Gfi1cre/+ and Gfi1+/+ cochlea to detect potential changes in gene expression that could contribute to their hearing loss phenotype, or that could potentially confound downstream analysis of conditional gene deletion using these mice.

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.

Expression of Atoh1, Gfi1, and Pou4f3 in the mature cochlea reprograms non-sensory cells into hair cells

Project description:Mechanosensory hair cells of the mature mammalian organ of Corti do not regenerate, and loss of hair cells leads to permanent hearing loss. Although non-mammalian vertebrates are able to regenerate hair cells by the division and transdifferentiation of adjacent supporting cells, many humans with severe hearing loss completely lack hair cells and supporting cells, with the organ of Corti being replaced by a flat epithelium of non-sensory cells To determine if mature non-sensory cells can produce hair cells in vivo, we reprogrammed non-sensory cells of the mature cochlea with three hair cell transcription factors, Gfi1, Atoh1, and Pou4f3. We were able to generate significant numbers of hair cell-like cells in the non-sensory inner and outer sulci of the cochlea after 2 weeks of reprogramming. New hair cells continued to be added to the non-sensory regions of the cochlea over the next seven weeks, and expressed hair cell proteins such as Myosin VIIa, parvalbumin, and prestin and formed stereociliary hair bundles. We confirmed the identity of these cells by high depth single cell RNA-seq. Significantly, cells adjacent to converted hair cells expressed markers of supporting cells, suggesting that transcription factor reprogramming of non-sensory tissue in the adult animal can generate mosaics of sensory cells similar to those seen in the organ of Corti. Generating such sensory mosaics by reprogramming may represent a potential strategy for hearing restoration in humans.

Therapeutic Restoration of miR-96 Prevents Hearing Loss in Mice through Modulation of Noise-Induced and Genetic Pathways

Project description:Hearing loss often arises from impairments in multiple genes, complicating therapeutic development. MicroRNAs, as master regulators, offer promising targets for complex diseases. We explored miR-96’s roles in hair cell (HC) function and noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL), finding that miR-96-/-, not miR-96+/-, mice exhibited progressive hearing loss due to gene regulatory network dysregulation from miR-96 loss in HCs not spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs). Viral-mediated delivery of miR-96 into the inner ear partially rescued hearing of miR-96-/- mice. Tamoxifen-induced depletion of miR-96 in adult UBCCreERT2/+; miR-96fl/fl mice led to hearing loss, with Bach2, Gabra2, Gabra4, Grk1 up-regulation, and Tnn, Col11a1, Gjb3 and Hnf4a down-regulation. Furthermore, noise trauma reduced miR-96, altering Bach2, Bcl2l1, Slc26a9, Gabrb1, Grk1, Nos2 and Cyp1a1 expression, while miR-96 overexpression protected hearing against noise by reversing the expression of Bach2, Bcl2l1 and Cyp1a1. Our findings underscore miR-96’s essential role in adult hearing maintenance and NIHL prevention, presenting it as a promising therapeutic target.

Mutations in unfolded protein response regulator ATF6 cause hearing and vision loss syndrome

Project description:Activating transcription factor 6 (Atf6) is a key regulator of the unfolded protein response (UPR) and is important for endoplasmic reticulum (ER) function and protein homeostasis in metazoan cells. Patients carrying loss-of-function ATF6 disease alleles develop the cone dysfunction disorder, achromatopsia. The impact of loss of ATF6 function on other cell types, organs, and diseases in people remains unclear. Here, we reported that progressive sensorineural hearing loss was a notable complaint in some patients carrying ATF6 disease alleles and that Atf6-/- mice also showed progressive auditory deficits affecting both genders. In mice with hearing deficits, we found disorganized stereocilia on hair cells and focal loss of outer hair cells. Transcriptomic analysis of Atf6-/- cochleae revealed marked induction of UPR, especially through the PERK arm. These findings identify ATF6 as an essential regulator of cochlear health and function. Furthermore, they supported that ATF6 inactivation in people causes progressive sensorineural hearing loss as part of a blindness-deafness genetic syndrome targeting hair cells and cone photoreceptors. Lastly, our genetic findings support ER stress as an important pathomechanism underlying cochlear damage and hearing loss with clinical implications for patient lifestyle modifications that minimize environmental/physiologic sources of ER stress to the ear.

Transcription profiling of mouse back skin fromK14-DN-Clim

Project description:The homeostasis of both cornea and hair follicles depends on a constant supply of progeny cells produced by populations of keratin (K) 14-expressing stem cells localized in specific niches. To investigate the potential role of Co-factors of LIM domains (Clims) in such tissues, we generated transgenic mice expressing a dominant-negative Clim molecule (DN-Clim) under the control of the K14 promoter. As expected, the K14 promoter directed high level expression of the transgene to the basal cells of cornea and epidermis, as well as the outer root sheath of hair follicles. In corneal epithelium, the transgene expression causes decreased expression of adhesion molecule BP180 and defective hemidesmosomes, leading to detachment of corneal epithelium from the underlying stroma, which in turn causes blisters, wounds and an inflammatory response. After a period of epithelial thinning, the corneal epithelium undergoes differentiation to an epidermis-like structure. The K14-DN-Clim mice also develop progressive hair loss due to dysfunctional hair follicles that fail to generate hair shafts. The number of hair follicle stem cells is decreased by at least 50% in K14-DN-Clim mice, indicating that Clims are required for hair follicle stem cell maintenance. We hypothesize that Clim2 is an essential co-factor for the LIM homeodomain factor Lhx2, which was previously shown to play a role in hair follicle stem cell maintenance. Together, these data indicate that Clim proteins play important roles in the homeostasis of corneal epithelium and hair follicles. Experiment Overall Design: We profiled mRNA expression in mouse back skin from 3 time points, representing the initial hair follicle morphogenesis (P6 and P14) and the first telogen (P23); hair growth is synchronized during these time points. For each time point, RNA was isolated and analyzed from 3 to 5 transgenic mice and same number of wild-type littermates.
