Project description:Hair cells of the inner ear are essential for hearing and balance. As a consequence, pathogenic variants in genes specifically expressed in hair cells often cause hereditary deafness. Hair cells are few in number and not easily isolated from the adjacent supporting cells, so the biochemistry and molecular biology of hair cells can be difficult to study. To study gene expression in hair cells, we developed a protocol for hair cell isolation by FACS sorting. With nearly pure hair cells and surrounding cells, from cochlea and utricle and from embryonic day 16 to postnatal day 7, we performed a comprehensive cell-type-specific RNA-Seq study of gene expression during mouse inner ear development. Expression profiling revealed new hair-cell genes with distinct expression patterns: some are specific for vestibular hair cells, others for cochlear hair cells, and some are expressed just before or after maturation of mechanosensitivity. We found that many of the known hereditary deafness genes are much more highly expressed in hair cells than surrounding cells, suggesting that genes preferentially expressed in hair cells are good candidates for unknown deafness genes.

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.

Project description:The mammalian inner ear subserves auditory and vestibular sensations via highly specialized cells and proteins. We show that sensory hair cells (HCs) employ hundreds of uniquely or highly expressed proteins for processes involved in transducing mechanical inputs, stimulating sensory neurons, and maintaining structure and function of these post-mitotic cells. Our proteomic analysis of purified HCs extends the existing HC transcriptome, revealing undetected gene products and isoform-specific protein expression. Comparison with mouse and human databases of genetic auditory/vestibular impairments confirms the critical role of the HC proteome for normal inner ear function, providing a cell-specific pool of candidates for novel, important HC genes. Several proteins identified exclusively in HCs by proteomics and by immunohistochemistry map to human genetic deafness loci, potentially representing new deafness genes.

Project description:The role of TMPRSS3 in hair cell (HC) remains unclear. Nelson and colleagues generated stem cell-derived inner ear organoids with Tmprss3-mutations to show that 1) inner ear organoids exhibit comparative effects of the genetic abnormality to its in vivo counterparts, 2) Tmprss3-mutations lead to apoptosis and reduced BK channels in HCs, and 3) cell membrane-bound TMPRSS3 is localized in HCs.

Project description:Sensorineural hearing loss affects the majority of the elderly population. Mammalian hair cells (HC) do not regenerate and current stem cell and gene delivery protocols result only in immature hair cells like-cells. For this reason, characterization of the transcriptional cascades that lead to development and survival of inner ear HC is essential for designing molecular-based treatments for deafness. We employed a cell type-specific approach to analyze the transcriptomes of the mouse early postnatal auditory and vestibular sensory epithelia and of hair cells derived from zebrafish model.

Project description:Retinoblastoma gene (Rb1) is required for proper cell cycle exit in the developing mouse inner ear and its deletion in the embryo leads to proliferation of sensory progenitor cells that differentiate into hair cells and supporting cells. In the Pou4f3-Cre:Rb1 flox/flox (Rb1 cKO) inner ear, utricular hair cells differentiate and survive into adulthood whereas differentiation and survival of cochlear hair cells are impaired. To comprehensively survey the pRb pathway in the mammalian inner ear, we performed microarray analysis of Rb1 cKO cochlea and utricle. P6 or 2-month control and Rb1 cKO littermates were euthanized and the inner ear tissues were dissected. Total RNA was extracted from the pooled samples. Technical duplicates of the pooled RNA were used for microarray.

Project description:To understand the basic biological properties of inner ear hair cells (HCs) from non-mammalian vertebrates, we examined the transcriptome of adult zebrafish auditory and vestibular HCs. GFP-labeled HCs were isolated from inner-ear sensory epithelia of a pou4f3 promoter-driven GAP-GFP line of transgenic zebrafish. One thousand HCs and 1,000 non-sensory surrounding cells (nsSCs) were separately collected for each biological replicate, using the suction pipette technique. RNA sequencing of three biological replicates for the two cell types was performed. The resulting sequenced reads were mapped. Comparisons between HCs and nsSCs allow identification of enriched genes in HCs, which may underlie HC specialization. Our dataset provides an extensive resource for understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying morphology, function, and pathology of adult zebrafish HCs. It also establishes a framework for future characterization of the genes expressed in HCs and for the study of HC evolution.
