ESRP1 mutations cause hearing loss due to defects in alternative splicing that disrupt cochlear development

ABSTRACT: Alternative splicing contributes to gene expression dynamics in many tissues, yet its role in auditory development remains unclear. We performed whole exome sequencing in individuals with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and identified pathogenic mutations in Epithelial Splicing Regulatory Protein 1 (ESRP1). Patient derived induced pluripotent stem cells showed alternative splicing defects consistent with impaired ESRP1 function. To determine how mutations in ESRP1 cause hearing loss we evaluated Esrp1-/- mouse embryos and uncovered alterations in cochlear morphogenesis, auditory hair cell differentiation and cell fate specification. Transcriptome analysis revealed impaired expression and splicing of genes with essential roles in inner ear development and auditory function. In particular, aberrant splicing of Fgfr2 blocked stria vascularis formation due to erroneous ligand usage, which was corrected by reducing Fgf9 gene dosage. These findings implicate mutations in ESRP1 as a novel cause of SNHL and demonstrate the complex interplay between alternative splicing, inner ear development, and auditory function.

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 scala media in the inner ear are the two primary causes. Transcriptome analysis has emerged as a powerful tool in revealing the genetic and molecular profile of a cell or a population of cells during aging in organism models, animals and humans. Comparison of transcriptomes between young and older animals have identified many common genes and pathways that are associated with aging and longevity. We used RNA-seq to examine changes in gene expression profiles of the stria vascularis between 9- and 26-month-old CBA mice. Our transcriptome analysis provides a rich resource for mechanistic studies of biological aging of stria vascularis.

Gene expression study of developing mammalian vestibular organ of wild type and Insulin-Like Growth Factor I deficient mice using Affymetrix whole transcript arrays

Project description:Insulin like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) has a central role in mammalian hearing and hearing loss. The auditory and vestibular systems form the inner ear and have a common developmental origin. During chicken early development IGF-1 modulates neurogenesis of the cochleovestibular ganglion but no further studies have been conducted to explore the potential role of IGF-1 in the vestibular system. In this study we have compared the whole transcriptome of the vestibular organ from wild type and Igf1-/- mice at different developmental times.

Accelerated evolution analysis uncovers PKNOX2 as a key transcription factor in the mammalian cochlea

Project description:The genetic bases underlying the evolution of morphological and functional innovations of the mammalian inner ear are poorly understood. Gene regulatory regions are thought to play an important role in the evolution of form and function. To uncover crucial hearing genes whose regulatory machinery evolved specifically in mammalian lineages, we mapped accelerated noncoding sequences (ACNEs) in inner ear transcription factors (TFs) identifying PKNOX2 as the gene displaying the largest amount of ACNEs. To investigate the function of PKNOX2-ACNEs, we tested them using enhancer assays in transgenic zebrafish and unmasked transcriptional enhancers that acquired novel expression patterns as a consequence of the evolutionary process they underwent. Even though PKNOX2 is one of the most highly expressed genes in cochlear hair cells, its function was unknown. Thus, to explore the role of PKNOX2 in mammalian hearing, we generated Pknox2 null mice using CRISPR/Cas9 technology. Pknox2-/- mice exhibited reduced distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) and auditory brainstem response (ABR) thresholds at high frequencies together with an increase in peak 1 amplitude, consistent with a higher number of IHCs-auditory nerve synapsis observed at the cochlear basal region. A comprehensive cochlear transcriptomic analysis of Pknox2-/- and Pknox2+/+ mice revealed that key auditory genes are under Pknox2 control. Hence, we report, for the first time, that PKNOX2 has a critical function regulating cochlear sensitivity at higher frequencies and that its regulatory machinery underwent lineage-specific evolution, providing novel insight into the contribution of this TF to normal auditory function and to the evolution of high-frequency hearing.

Single-cell gene expression profile of adult cochlea in NIHL vs. VPA-NIHL

Project description:Hearing functions through the mechanical transduction of inner ear sensory cells, hair cells, and their connections to the auditory neurons, which convert the stimuli into electrical signals to be detected by the brain. Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) caused by exposure to excessively sounds cannot be medically corrected. Strategies to overcome the apparently irreversible noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) in mammals become paramount for hearing treatment. The drug has been reported in attenuating inflammation in different species. Here, we tested the effect of the drug in acoustic trauma. We carried out single-cell RNA sequencing to examine the gene expression profiles comparing Drug group with Untreated group in response to the acoustic trauma.

Human cochlear gene expression

Project description:Transcriptome analysis of human inner ear tissue Hearing loss is common and caused by a wide range of molecular and cellular pathologies. Current diagnosis of hearing loss depends of a combination of physiologic testing, patient history and in some cases genetic testing. Currently no biopsy or equivalent procedure exists to diagnose inner ear disorders. The goal of this study was to determine if miRNAs could be identified in human perilymph potentially leading to the development of biomarkers for inner ear disease. Analysis of miRNAs was carried out by evaluating miRNA targets in a cochlear transcriptome library (GSE128505) derived from human inner ear tissue harvested during surgery in which the inner ear is removed.

Gene expression profiles in SOX10-deficient human iPS cell-derived neural crest cells

Project description:Waardenburg syndrome (WS) is a autosomal dominant inherited disorder characterized by sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and pigment abnormalities. SOX10 is one of its main pathogenicity genes. In vitro generation of patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) is an effective approach for exploring the mechanisms of human disease. Here, we established an iPSCs from a WS patient with SOX10 mutation and differentiated it into induced neural crest cells (NCCs), the key cell type involves in inner ear development. Compared with control-derived iPSCs, the SOX10 mutant iPSCs showed significantly decreased efficiency of development and differentiation potential at the stage of NCCs. We then performed high-throughput RNA-seq and examined the transcriptional misregulation at each stage. The transcriptome analysis differentiated NCCs reveals widespread gene expression changes and the differentially expressed genes(DEGs) were enriched with gene ontology (GO) of neuron migration, skeletal system development, multicellular organism development, which indicate the important role of SOX10 plays in the differentiation of NCCs. It's worth noting that, a significant enrichment among the nominal DEGs for genes implicated in inner ear development was found, as well as several genes related to the inner ear morphogenesis. Based on protein-protein interaction（PPI）net work, we selected four candidate genes that may be regulated by SOX10 in inner ear development: BMP2, LGR5, GBX2 and GATA3. In conclusion, the SOX10 deficiency in this WS patient has a significant impact on the gene expression patterns during the development of NCCs. The DEGs most significantly enriched the inner ear development and morphogenesis could help explain the underlying basis for the inner ear malformation seen in WS patient.

Determination of a comprehensive alternative splicing regulatory network and the combinatorial regulation by key factors during Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition [ESRP KD]

Project description:Epithelial specific splicing regulatory protein 1 and 2 (ESRP1 and ESRP2) are important regulators of alternative splicing during EMT. To study the alternative splicing events regulated by ESRP1/2 at a genome wide scale, we used lentiviral shRNAs to knockdown ESRP1/2 in H358 cells and performed RNA-seq in biological triplicates. We used lentiviral based shRNAs targeting ESRP1 and ESRP2 to knockdown both regulators in human H358 cells. We harvested total RNA and protein from ESRP1/2 knockdown and control knockdown in biological triplicates. We made cDNA libraries for each replicate and subjected them to RNA-seq.
