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.

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:Hearing and balance are mediated in vertebrates by inner ear mechanosensory hair cells. Hair cell development, maturation and survival require POU4F3, a class IV POU domain transcription factor that is expressed in hair cells shortly after they start to differentiate. Here, we show that POU4F3 has pioneer factor activity, and is necessary to promote chromatin accessibility at approximately half of the distal regulatory elements that appear as hair cells differentiate. Pou4f3 expression in the inner ear is initiated by ATOH1, a bHLH transcription factor that is also necessary for hair cell differentiation and survival. We show that ATOH1 also binds a large number of POU4F3-dependent distal regulatory elements, suggesting a synergistic feed-forward model in which ATOH1 induces POU4F3, which then acts to promote ATOH1-dependent hair cell differentiation.

Project description:The pesticide rotenone, a neurotoxin that inhibits the mitochondrial complex I, and destabilizes microtubules (MT) has been linked to Parkinson disease (PD) etiology and is often used to model this neurodegenerative disease (ND). Many of the mechanisms of action of rotenone are posited mechanisms of neurodegeneration; however, they are not fully understood. Therefore, the study of rotenone-affected functional pathways is pertinent to the understanding of NDs pathogenesis. This report describes the transcriptome analysis of a neuroblastoma (NB) cell line chronically exposed to marginally toxic and moderately toxic doses of rotenone. The results revealed a complex pleiotropic response to rotenone that impacts a variety of cellular events, including cell cycle, DNA damage response, proliferation, differentiation, senescence and cell death, which could lead to survival or neurodegeneration depending on the dose and time of exposure and cell phenotype. The response encompasses an array of physiological pathways, modulated by transcriptional and epigenetic regulatory networks, likely activated by homeostatic alterations. Pathways that incorporate the contribution of MT destabilization to rotenone toxicity are suggested to explain complex I-independent rotenone-induced alterations of metabolism and redox homeostasis. The postulated mechanisms involve the blockage of mitochondrial voltage-dependent anions channels (VDACs) by tubulin, which coupled with other rotenone-induced organelle dysfunctions may underlie many presumed neurodegeneration mechanisms associated with pathophysiological aspects of various NDs including PD, AD and their variant forms. Thus, further investigation of such pathways may help identify novel therapeutic paths for these NDs. SK-N-MC cells were grown in three different conditions: media + vehicle (EtOH), media + a sublethal dose (5 nM) of rotenone, and media + a slightly toxic dose (50 nM) of rotenone. Gene expression was examined at 1 and 4 weeks of rotenone treatment. Three experiments were performed, each lasting 1 and 4 weeks. For each experiment, 5 separate dishes of vehicle-treated, and rotenone-treated cells were harvested at 1 and 4 weeks (30 independent samples at each time point) and pooled into 3 samples (vehicle treated,and rotenone treated with 5 nM and 50 nM) at each time point for a total of 18 individual samples from all thre experiments. Total RNA isolated from each of the 18 individual samples was used to prepared labeled cRNA and hybridized to one Genechip (Affymetrix) Human Genome array HG-U133A at the UCLA microarray core facility (http://microarray.genetics.ucla.edu/). After QC check, the data was normalized and used to assess expression indexes and fold changes (FC > 2.0, compared to vehicle-treated controls) using the model-based expression indexes (MBEI) method implemented in dCHIP, ( http://biosun1.harvard.edu/complab/dchip/), and the Signifiance Analysis of Microarrays (SAM) software for multiple test corrections. Enrichment analysis was performed by the functional annotation tools implemented in DAVID ( http://david.abcc.ncifcrf.gov), to ascertain sets of rotenone DRGs that are enriched in certain biological annotations.

Project description:During early development, the correct establishment of the body axes is a critical step. The anterior pole of the mouse embryo is established when Distal Visceral Endoderm (DVE) cells migrate to form the Anterior Visceral Endoderm (AVE). Asymmetrical expression of Lefty1, Cerl and Dkk determines the direction of DVE migration and the future anterior side. Besides being implicated in the establishment of Anterior-Posterior axis the AVE has also been correlated with anterior neural specification. In order to better understand the role of the AVE in these processes, this cell population was isolated using a cerlP-EGFP transgenic mouse line, and a differential screening was performed using Affymetrix GeneChip technology. From this differential screening, 175 genes were found to be upregulated in the AVE, whereas 35 genes were upregulated in the Proximal-posterior sample. Using DAVID, here we characterize the AVE cell population regarding cellular component, molecular function and biological processes. Among the genes that were found to be upregulated in the AVE, several novel genes with expression in the AVE were identified. Four of the identified transcripts displaying high-fold change were further characterized by in situ hybridization in early stages of development in order to validate the screening. From those four selected genes, ADTK1 was chosen to be functionally characterized by targeted inactivation in ES cells. ADTK1 encodes for an unknown serine/threonine kinase. ADTK null mutants present short limbs and defects in the eye and ear. Taken together, these data point to the importance of reporting novel genes present in the AVE. Anterior distal and Posterior proximal portions of an E5.5 mouse embryo were microdissected. RNA was extracted from this portions and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays in order to identify genes upregulated in the Anterior distal sample. Whole E5.5 embryo RNA was also extracted and hybridized for normalization.

Project description:The inner ear arises from multipotent placodal precursors that are gradually committed to the otic fate and further differentiate into all inner ear cell types, with the exception of a few neural crest-derived cells. The otocyst has a pivotal role during inner ear development: otic progenitor cells sub-compartmentalize into non-sensory regions and regions giving rise to prosensory domains where subsequently also hair cells differentiate. The genes and pathways underlying this progressive subdivision and differentiation process are not entirely known. The goal of this study was to identify a comprehensive set of genes expressed in the chicken otocyst using the serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) method. Our analysis revealed several hundred transcriptional regulators, potential signaling proteins, and receptors. We identified a substantial collection of genes that were previously known in the context of inner ear development, but we also found many new candidate genes, such as Sox4, Sox5, Sox7, Sox8, Sox11, and Sox18, which previously were not known to be expressed in the developing inner ear. Despite its obvious limitation of not being all-inclusive, the generated otocyst SAGE library is a practical bioinformatics tool to study otocyst gene expression and to identify candidate genes for developmental studies.

Project description:Understanding the molecular basis of competence acquisition by the lineage-specific progenitor cells can provide mechanistic insights into tissue development and regeneration. The sensory epithelium of the inner ear represents a convenient model to study this process, as only two cell types – the mechanosensory hair cells and their associated supporting cells – are specified from a single pool of progenitors in this lineage. Here we show that competence to respond to Atoh1, a transcriptional master regulator both necessary and sufficient for induction of mechanosensory hair cells, is established in the organ of Corti progenitor cells between E12.0 and 13.5. The transition to the competent state is rapid and is associated with extensive remodeling of the epigenetic landscape controlled by the SoxC group of transcription factors. Conditional loss of Sox4 and Sox11 – the two homologous family members transiently expressed in the inner ear at the time of competence establishment – blocks the ability of sensory progenitors to differentiate into hair cells. Mechanistically, we show that Sox4 binds to and establishes accessibility of early sensory lineage-specific regulatory elements, including ones associated with Atoh1 itself and its direct downstream targets. Consistent with these observations, overexpression of Sox4 or Sox11 prior to developmental establishment of competence precociously induces hair cell differentiation in the cochlear progenitors. Further, reintroducing Sox4 or Sox11 expression restores the ability of postnatal supporting cells to differentiate as hair cells in vitro and in vivo. Our findings demonstrate the pivotal role of SoxC family members as agents of epigenetic and transcriptional changes necessary for establishing competence for sensory receptor differentiation in the inner ear.

Project description:Deafness is the most common form of sensory impairment in humans and frequently caused by defects in hair cells of the inner ear. Here we demonstrate that in a mouse model for recessive non-syndromic deafness (DFNB6), inactivation of Tmie in hair cells disrupts gene expression in the neurons that innervate them. This includes genes regulating axonal pathfinding and synaptogenesis, two processes that are disrupted in the inner ear of the mutant mice. Similar defects are observed in mouse models for deafness caused by mutations in other genes with primary functions in hair cells. Gene therapy targeting hair cells restores hearing and inner ear circuitry in DFNB6 model mice. We conclude that hair cell function is crucial for the establishment of peripheral auditory circuitry. Treatment modalities for deafness thus need to consider restoration of the function of both hair cells and neurons, even when the primary defect occurs in hair cells.

Otocysts were dissected from HH stage 18-19 chicken embryos, total RNA was extracted, and subjected to a commercial long-SAGE protocol, resulting in a library of concatemerized tags. 3,512 individual clones of SAGE concatemers were sequenced resulting in 39,326 17-bp tags with tag counts up to 718 for the most abundant tag; 3,292 tags that were represented between two and five times, whereas the majority of tags (11,717) were only found once. Overall, we identified 16,008 unique sequence tags.
