Expression data from proximal, middle, and distal segments of E6.5 chicken cochlea

ABSTRACT: Precise frequency discrimination is a hallmark of auditory function in birds and mammals. In the cochlea, tuning and spectral separation result from longitudinal differences in basilar membrane stiffness and numerous individual gradiations in sensory hair cell phenotypes, but it is unknown what patterns those phenotypes. Hypothesizing that morphogen levels might differ along the longitudinal axis of the developing cochlea, we sequenced the transcriptomes of the proximal, middle, and distal thirds of the chicken cochlea at E6.5, when postmitotic hair cells first form. Embryonic day 6.5 chicken cochlea were dissected. Three samples were collected from each cochlear duct by cutting the duct into three approximately equal sized pieces to produce proximal, middle, and distal pieces. Each sample contained a portion of the future tegmentum vasculosum and the basilar papilla sensory epithelium. The distal piece also contained the region fo the future lagena.

Mass spectrometry identification of proteins of isolated auditory and vestibular hair cells using data-independent and data-dependent acquisition

Project description:Hair cells undergo postnatal development that leads to formation of their sensory organelles, synaptic machinery, and in the case of cochlear outer hair cells, their electromotile mechanism. To examine the proteome changes over development, we isolated pools of 5000 Pou4f3-Gfp positive or negative cells from the cochlea or utricles; these cell pools were analyzed by data-dependent and data-independent acquisition (DDA and DIA) mass spectrometry. DDA data were used to generate spectral libraries, which enabled identification and accurate quantitation of specific proteins using the DIA datasets. We also isolated and pooled individual inner and outer hair cells from adult cochlea and compared their proteomes to those of developing hair cells. The DDA and DIA datasets will be valuable for accurately quantifying proteins in hair cells and non-hair cells over this developmental window.

Gene expression profiles along the tonotopic axis of the mouse cochlea during neonatal development

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. Eighty temporal bones were dissected from C57BL/6 mice at P0 and P8. The cochlear tissues were divided into three equal pieces representing the basal, middle and apical turns, and pooled separately. Six total RNA from the pooled samples were applied to 6 GeneChips.

Ignition of supporting cell activation for hair cell regeneration in the avian auditory epithelium: an explant culture model

Project description:Sensorineural hearing loss is included in the most common disabilities, and often caused by loss of sensory hair cells in the cochlea. Hair cell regeneration has long been a main target for developing novel therapeutics for sensorineural hearing loss. In the mammalian cochlea, hair cell regeneration occurs in very limited situations, while auditory epithelia of non-mammalians retain the capacity for hair cell regeneration. In the avian basilar papilla, an auditory sensory epithelium, supporting cells, which are sources for regenerated hair cells, are usually quiescent, while hair cell loss induces both direct transdifferentiation of supporting cells and mitotic division of supporting cells. In the present study, we aimed to establish an explant culture model for hair cell regeneration in chick basilar papillae, and validated usefulness of our model to investigate the initial phase of hair cell regeneration. Histological assessments demonstrated that hair cell regeneration via direct transdifferentiation of supporting cells occurred in our model. Labeling assay using 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) revealed the occurrence of mitotic division of supporting cells in the specific location in basilar papillae, while no EdU labeling was identified in newly generated HCs. RNA sequencing indicated alterations in known signaling pathways associated with hair cell regeneration, which is consistent with previous findings. In addition, unbiased analyses of RNA sequencing data indicated novel genes and signaling pathways that could be related to the ignition of supporting cell activation in chick basilar papillae. These results indicate the advantages of our model using explant cultures of chick basilar papillae for exploring molecular mechanisms for hair cell regeneration. Further studies such as single-cell RNA sequencing will allow us to capture the spatiotemporal information by using our explant culture model.

High-resolution transcriptional analysis reveals stepwise fate conversion of supporting cells to hair cells in the chicken auditory epithelium

Project description:In contrast to mammals, the avian cochlea, specifically the basilar papilla, can regenerate sensory hair cells, which involves fate conversion of supporting cells to hair cells. To determine the mechanisms for converting supporting cells to hair cells, we used single-cell RNA sequencing during hair cell regeneration in explant cultures of chick basilar papillae. We identified dynamic changes in the gene expression of supporting cells, and the pseudotime trajectory analysis demonstrated the stepwise fate conversion from supporting cells to hair cells. Initially, supporting cell identity was erased and transition to the precursor state occurred. A subsequent gain in hair cell identity progressed together with downregulation of precursor-state genes. Transforming growth factor beta receptor 1-mediated signaling was involved in induction of the initial step, and its inhibition resulted in suppression of hair cell regeneration. Our data provide new insights for understanding fate conversion from supporting cells to hair cells in avian basilar papillae.

Expression of Atoh1, Gfi1, and Pou4f3 in the mature cochlea reprograms non-sensory cells into hair cells

Project description:Mechanosensory hair cells of the mature mammalian organ of Corti do not regenerate, and loss of hair cells leads to permanent hearing loss. Although non-mammalian vertebrates are able to regenerate hair cells by the division and transdifferentiation of adjacent supporting cells, many humans with severe hearing loss completely lack hair cells and supporting cells, with the organ of Corti being replaced by a flat epithelium of non-sensory cells To determine if mature non-sensory cells can produce hair cells in vivo, we reprogrammed non-sensory cells of the mature cochlea with three hair cell transcription factors, Gfi1, Atoh1, and Pou4f3. We were able to generate significant numbers of hair cell-like cells in the non-sensory inner and outer sulci of the cochlea after 2 weeks of reprogramming. New hair cells continued to be added to the non-sensory regions of the cochlea over the next seven weeks, and expressed hair cell proteins such as Myosin VIIa, parvalbumin, and prestin and formed stereociliary hair bundles. We confirmed the identity of these cells by high depth single cell RNA-seq. Significantly, cells adjacent to converted hair cells expressed markers of supporting cells, suggesting that transcription factor reprogramming of non-sensory tissue in the adult animal can generate mosaics of sensory cells similar to those seen in the organ of Corti. Generating such sensory mosaics by reprogramming may represent a potential strategy for hearing restoration in humans.

3D reconstruction of the mouse cochlea from scRNA-seq data suggests morphogen-based principles in apex-to-base specification

Project description:In the mammalian auditory system, frequency discrimination depends on numerous morphological and physiological properties of the organ of Corti that gradually change along the longitudinal (tonotopic) axis of the organ. For example, the basilar membrane stiffness changes tonotopically, thus affecting the tuning properties of individual hair cells. At the molecular level, those frequency-specific characteristics are mirrored by gene expression gradients; however, the molecular mechanisms controlling tonotopic gene expression in the mouse cochlea remain elusive. Through analyzing scRNA-seq data from two developmental time points, we predicted that morphogens, rather than a timing-associated mechanism, confer spatial identity in the cochlea. Subsequently, we reconstructed the developing cochlea in 3D space from scRNA-seq data to investigate the molecular pathways mediating tonotopic information. The retinoic acid and sonic hedgehog pathways were found to form opposing tonotopic gradients, and functional interrogation using mouse cochlear explants suggested that both pathways jointly specify the tonotopic axis during development.

Transcription profiling of cochleae from young and middle aged mice subjected to calorie restriction to examine age-related changes and calorie restriction-induced changes in gene expression in the cochlea.

Project description:Presbycusis is characterized by an age-related progressive decline of auditory function, and arises mainly from the degeneration of hair cells or spiral ganglion (SG) cells in the cochlea. Here we show that caloric restriction suppresses apoptotic cell death in the mouse cochlea and prevents late onset of presbycusis. Caloric restricted mice, which maintained body weight at the same level as that of young control (YC) mice, retained normal hearing and showed no cochlear degeneration. CR mice also showed significantly fewer TUNEL-positive staining cells and fewer cleaved caspase-3-positive staining cells relative to middle-age control (MC) mice. Microarray analysis revealed that CR down-regulated the expression of 28 proapoptotic genes, including Bak and Bim. Taken together, our findings suggest that loss of critical cells through apoptosis is an important mechanism of presbycusis in mammals, and that CR or staying lean can retard this process by suppressing apoptosis in the inner ear tissue. Experiment Overall Design: To examine the effects of aging, a comparison of cochlea tissues from YC (3 samples) and MC (3 samples) mice was conducted. To examine the effects of calorie restriction (CR), a comparison of cochleae from MC (3 samples) and CR (3 samples) mice was conducted. We examined age-related changes in gene expression in the cochlea and calorie restriction-induced changes in gene expression in the cochlea. We pooled four cochleae from two mice for one sample and used three samples per group (n = 3). Quality control measures were not used. No replicates were done. Dye swap was not used.

Ebf1 is a mouse deafness gene and deletion causes a dramatic increase in hair cells and support cells of the organ of Corti

Project description:Following up on our previous observation that early B cell factor (EBF) sites are enriched in open chromatin of the developing sensory epithelium of the mouse cochlea, we investigated the effect of deletion of Ebf1 on inner ear development. We used a Cre driver to delete Ebf1 at the otocyst stage prior to development of the cochlea. These animals survived and were fertile. We examined the cochlea at postnatal day (P) 1 and found that the sensory epithelium had doubled in size but the length of the cochlear duct was unaffected. We also found that deletion of Ebf1 led to ectopic sensory patches in the Kölliker’s organ. Innervation of the developing organ of Corti was disrupted with no obvious spiral bundles. The ectopic patches were also innervated. All the extra hair cells (HCs) within the sensory epithelium and Kölliker’s organ contained mechanoelectrical transduction channels as indicated by rapid uptake of FM1-43. The excessive numbers of HCs were still present in the adult Ebf1 conditional knockout (cKO) animal. The animals had no detectable auditory brainstem response (ABR) suggesting that this gene is essential for hearing development.

Pseudo-temporal analysis of Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals trans-differentiation potential of Greater Epithelial Ridge cells into hair cells during postnatal development of cochlea in Rats

Project description:The hair cells of the cochlea play a decisive role in the process of hearing damage and recovery, yet knowledge of their regeneration process is still limited. Greater epithelial ridge (GER) cells, a type of cell present during cochlear development that has the characteristics of a precursor sensory cell, disappear at the time of maturation of hearing development. Its development and evolution remain mysterious for many years. Here, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing to profile the gene expression landscapes of rats' cochlear duct from P1, P7, and P14 and identified eight major subtypes of GER cells. Furthermore, single-cell trajectory analysis for GER cells and hair cells indicated that among the different subtypes of GER, four subtypes had transient cell proliferation after birth and could transdifferentiate into inner and outer hair cells, and two of them mainly transdifferentiated into inner hair cells. The other two subtypes eventually transdifferentiate into outer hair cells. Our study lays the groundwork for elucidating the mechanisms of the key regulatory genes and signaling pathways in the trans-differentiation of GER cell subtypes into hair cells and provides potential clues to understand hair cell regeneration.
