Project description:A major cause of human deafness and vestibular dysfunction is permanent loss of the mechanosensory hair cells of the inner ear. In non-mammalian vertebrates such as zebrafish, regeneration of missing hair cells can occur throughout life. While a comparative approach has the potential to reveal the basis of such differential regenerative ability, the degree to which the inner ears of fish and mammals share common hair and supporting cell types remains unresolved. Here we perform single-cell RNA sequencing of the zebrafish inner ear at embryonic through adult stages to catalog the diversity of hair and non-sensory supporting cells. We identify a putative progenitor population for hair and supporting cells, as well as distinct hair and supporting cell types in the maculae versus cristae. The hair and supporting cell types differ from those described for the lateral line, a distributed mechanosensory organ in zebrafish in which most studies of hair cell regeneration have been conducted. In the maculae, we identify two subtypes of hair cells that share gene expression with mammalian striolar or extrastriolar hair cells. In situ hybridization reveals that these hair cell subtypes occupy distinct spatial domains within the two major macular organs, the utricle and saccule, consistent with the reported distinct electrophysiological properties of hair cells within these domains. These findings suggest that primitive specialization of spatially distinct striolar and extrastriolar hair cells likely arose in the last common ancestor of fish and mammals. The similarities of inner ear cell type composition between fish and mammals also support using zebrafish as a relevant model for understanding inner ear-specific hair cell function and regeneration.

Project description:We implemented a functional genomics approach as a means to undertake a large-scale analysis of the Xenopus laevis inner ear transcriptome through microarray analysis. Microarray analysis uncovered genes within the X. laevis inner ear transcriptome associated with inner ear function and impairment in other organisms, thereby supporting the inclusion of Xenopus in cross-species genetic studies of the inner ear. Gene expression analysis of Xenopus laevis juvenile inner ear tissue. Inner ear RNA isolated from three groups of 5-10 juvenile X. laevis. Each biological replicate represents pooled inner ear RNA from 10-19 inner ears.

Project description:Sensorineural hearing loss (SHL) is a relatively common disease, and studies have suggested viral infection as a major cause. In the inner ear, the blood-labyrinthine barrier prevents access of the peripheral immune system; therefore, the immune system remains poorly understood. Here we found that cochlear accessory supporting cells (SCs), which are anchored by tight junctions, are organized tissue-resident macrophages. Virus-infected supporting cells change into activated macrophages and protect audiosensory receptor hair cells (HCs) against virus infection by producing interferon (IFN)-α/β. Moreover, we also observed bacterial phagocytosis by SCs. However, tumour necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (Trail), produced by virus-infected SCs, induced sensory hair loss and HC death by necroptosis. Notably, corticosteroid, the only effective drug for SHL, inhibited the virus-induced macrophage change of SCs. These results revealed an inner ear immune system, and suggest a possible mechanism for virus-induced SHL.

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:The inner ear sensory epithelia contain mechanosensitive hair cells and supporting cells. Both cell types arise from SOX2-expressing prosensory cells, but the mechanisms underlying the diversification of these cell lineages remain unclear. To determine the transcriptional trajectory of prosensory cells, we established a SOX2-2A-ntdTomato human ES cell line using CRISPR/Cas9, and performed single-cell RNA-sequencing analysis with SOX2-positive cells isolated from inner ear organoids at various time points between differentiation days 20 and 60. Our pseudotime analysis suggests that hair cells arise primarily from supporting cells, rather than bi-fated transitional cells in organoids. Moreover, ion channel- and ion transporter-related gene sets were enriched in supporting cells vs. prosensory cells, whereas Wnt signaling-related gene sets were enriched in hair cells vs. supporting cells. These findings provide valuable insights into how prosensory cells give rise to hair cells and supporting cells during human inner ear development, and may provide a clue to promote hair cell regeneration from resident supporting cells in individuals with hearing loss and balance disorders.

Project description:In 2014, a method was introduced to differentiate mouse embryonic stem cells into inner ear vestibular-like sensory epithelia in vitro. The resulting inner ear organoids represent a potentially inexhaustible source of tissues for investigating mechanosensory hair cell development, function, and responses to ototoxic and regenerative treatments. However, there has been limited exploration into how closely the molecular characteristics of organoid-derived hair cells match those that develop in vivo. To address this gap, we have employed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to generate a comprehensive atlas of inner ear organoid development at six stages, spanning the formation of definitive ectoderm to the emergence of sensory hair cells. Here, we specifically utilize our inner ear organoid atlas to define the dynamic changes in gene expression that occur during otic vesicle cell maturation into sensory epithelial supporting cells and hair cells.

Project description:The inner ear continues to grow and develop until the auditory and vestibular systems reach full maturity and all of the genes involved in this process have yet to be identified. Previous gene based analysis have primarily focused on the early developmental stages following induction and initial formation of the inner ear. The aim of this study is to identify new candidate genes for inner ear development. Microarrays were used to produce expression profiles from larval stages 56,57,58 of the Xenopus laevis inner ear. The data produced from this work represent an annotated resource that can be utilized by the Xenopus community to provide candidates for further functional analysis. Xenopus inner ears were isolated from larval animals for RNA extraction and hybridization to Affymetrix GeneChip microarrays.
