Project description:The cochlear duct is tonotopically organized, such that the basal cochlea responds more sensitively to high frequency sounds and the apical cochlea to low frequency sounds. In effort to understand how the tonotopic organization is established in mammals, we searched for genes that are differentially expressed along the tonotopic axis during neonatal development.

Project description:Our work describes the application of mass spectrometry-based label-free quantitative proteomics for the identification of differentially expressed proteins between different-aged cochlea. We report proteins exclusively present as well as up- and downregulated in the cochlear sensory epithelium at significant developmental stages. Additionally, we report proteins exclusively present on P3 that were recently identified in the cochlea for the first time. We use bioinformatics to provide insight on biological functions and potential primary and secondary partners of the differentially expressed proteins. This study provides the first differentially expressed proteome in the mammalian cochlea at significant developmental stages; before hearing, during the onset of hearing, and when hearing is fully developed. We believe that these results will provide insights into the function of proteins that change during development and identify potential protein biomarkers related to hearing impairments.

Project description:This study demonstrates the baseline data of gradient gene expression in the cochlea. Especially for genes whose mutations cause autosomal dominant non syndromic hearing loss (Pou4f3, Slc17a8, Tmc1, and Crym) as well as genes important for cochlear function (Emilin-2 and Tectb), gradual expression changes help to explain the various pathological conditions. Four C57BL/6 mice aged 6 weeks cochlea samples including the lateral wall, stria vascularis, spiral ligament, spiral prominence, and the organ of corti were dissected and separated into the apical, middle and basal turns to compare gene expression profiles of each cochlea turn.

Project description:This data set is intended as a public resource documenting the identity of roughly 10,000 genes that are abundantly expressed in the mouse cochlea. The data have many uses, including for making comparisons with proteomics studies, and for comparisons of expression profiles with other mouse strains and with other species. The CBA/CaJ strain was chosen because of its lack of known vulnerabilities to premature cochlear degeneration or to extreme reactions to cochlear stresses. It may therefore be considered a ânormalâ mouse. No experimental manipulations were done on the mice of this study. Contamination of the results by genes expressed in the surrounding petrous bone and from those in blood cells was minimized. Experiment Overall Design: 8 replicates, pooled ears from each of 8 mice

Project description:We have employed a novel approach for the identification of functionally important microRNA (miRNA)-target interactions using integrated miRNA, transcriptome and proteome profiles with advanced in silico analysis. By looking at both the transcript and protein levels of expression, a thorough coverage of miRNA regulation was obtained. Microdissected auditory and vestibular sensory epithelia were used as the model system, thus being the first time such a comparison was carried out in a neuroepithelial system. Moreover, this is one of only a few studies employing proteome screening for the identification of miRNA targets. Notably, this approach can be employed for the study of other tissues and organs. We detected the expression of 157 miRNAs in the inner ear sensory epithelia, with 53 miRNAs differentially expressed between the cochlea and vestibule. By searching for enrichment and depletion of miRNA targets in the transcript and protein datasets with a reciprocal or similar expression, respectively, as the regulatory miRNA, we identified functionally important miRNAs. Finally, the interaction between miR-135b and PSIP1-P75, a transcriptional coacitvator previously unknown in the inner ear, was identified and validated experimentally. We suggest that miR-135b may serve as a cellular effector, involved in regulating some of the differences between the cochlear and vestibular hair cells. We investigated the mRNA expression profile of the cochlear and vestibular sensory epithelia from inner ears of postnatal day 2 mice using the Affymetrix GeneChip® 430 2Mouse Genome array. Cochlear and vestibular sensory epithelia were dissected from wild type C3H mice and collected separately. The vestibular epithelia consisted of the saccule, utricle and the lateral and anterior cristae. Both the cochlear and vestibular sensory epithelia were dissected with their underlying mesenchyma. Altogether three pools, three biological replicates, of each tissue type were collected consisting of cochlear or vestibular sensory epithelia dissected from 10 to 12 inner ears.

Project description:Different mutations in the gene encoding humans IGF-I cause intrauterine growth retardation, postnatal growth failure, microcephaly, mental retardation, bilateral sensorineural deafness and multiple dysmorphic features. Insight into the role of IGFs in inner ear cochlear ganglion neurogenesis has come from the study of genetically modified mice. Postnatal cochlear development is severely impaired in mice Igf1-/-, which develop smaller cochlea and cochlear ganglia, an immature tectorial membrane and they display a significant decrease in the number and size of auditory neurons. We used microarrays to define the genetic signatures of Igf-1 +/+ and Igf-1-/- mouse cochea and identify the differentially expressed genes. Experiment Overall Design: Cochleae from two E18.5 were isolated from both Igf-1+/+ wild type and Igf-1-/- null mice and pooled to obtain RNA. Heterozygous male and female with a genetic background C57BL/6J were mated to obtain embryos 18.5 days post coitus (E18.5). Three independent pools were used. Cochlear tissues included the otic capsule but not vestibular tissues.

Project description:Spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) and the associated components of the auditory nerve are primary carriers of auditory information from hair cells to the brain. Loss of SGNs occurs with many pathological conditions, resulting in permanent sensorineural hearing loss. Neural stem/progenitors (NSPs) have been well-characterized in several locations of adult brain and retina. However, it is unclear whether NSPs are present in the adult auditory nerve. Here we examined the self-renewal potential of the adult auditory nerve using ouabain application as a well-established mouse model of acute SGN injury. The observed increase in cell proliferation, alteration in enchromatin/heterochromatin ratio and down-regulation of histone deacetylase expression in glial cells suggest that the quiescent glial cells convert to an activated state after SGN degeneration. This was further confirmed by global gene expression analysis of injured auditory nerves, which showed up-regulation of numerous neurogenesis- and/or development-associated genes shortly after ouabain exposure. These genes include molecular markers commonly used for the identification of NSPs. Under a strict culture regimen, auditory nerve-derived cells of adult mouse ears gave rise to neurospheres, suggesting that multipotent NSPs are present in adult cochlear nerve. Neurosphere assays on Sox2 transgenic mice revealed that Sox2+ glial cells are the source for NSPs. Our data also showed that acute injury or hypoxia enhances neurosphere formation. Taken together, our study revealed that glial cells of adult cochlea exhibit several NSP characteristics, and hence these mature non-neuronal cells may be important targets for promoting self-repair of degenerative auditory nerves. Analysis was conducted on auditory nerve samples from stages encompassing maturation and onset of hearing. Cochleas were collected from euthanized mice (CBA/CaJ) at perinatal (P) stages P0, P3, P7, P10, P14 and P21. Cochleas underwent microdissection to remove the outer bony cochlear shell and cochlear lateral wall, thus preserving the modiolus portion of cochlea which contains mainly the auditory nerve. Paired cochleas (i.e., from left and right ears) from each mouse were pooled to make individual samples. All sample types were done in experimental duplicate (n=2).

Project description:Deprivation of peripheral nerve input by cochlear removal in young mice results in dramatic neuron death in the cochlear nucleus (CN). The same manipulation in older mice does not result in significant loss. The molecular basis of this critical period of vulnerability remains largely unknown. Here we identified genes regulated at early time points after cochlear removal at ages when neurons are vulnerable (postnatal day (P)7) or invulnerable (P21) to this challenge. Afferent deprivation regulated very different sets of genes at P7 and P21. These genes showed a variety of functions at both ages, but surprisingly there was no net increase in pro-apoptotic genes at P7. A large set of upregulated immune-related genes was identified at P21. Experiment Overall Design: Mice received unilateral cochlear removals. At 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours after surgery, the CN ipsilateral and contralateral were removed, and RNA isolated from separate pools of tissue for each replicate. Deafferented CN were compared to age-matched and time-matched contralateral, control CN to identify genes regulated by cochlear removal at age P7 and P21.

Adult Mice (CBA/CaJ, aged 8 to 12 weeks) were anesthetized and subjected to survival surgery to expose the bulla of the right ear. A ouabain solution (3 mM, approximately 10 ul) was administered in the round window niche. This solution was wicked away and replaced with fresh ouabain approximately every 10 min during a cummulative exposure period of 60 min. The left ears (i.e., contralateral) were not surgically manipulated and were used as controls. Mice were maintained for 3 days or 7 days following treatments, then euthanized, and the oubain-treated and contralateral cochleas were removed. Cochleas underwent microdissection to remove the outer bony cochlear shell and cochlear lateral wall, thus preserving the modiolus portion of cochlea which contains mainly the auditory nerve. All sample types were prepared in experimental triplicate (n=3).
