Staurosporine-induced collapse of cochlear hair bundles.

ABSTRACT: Early postnatal mouse cochlear cultures were treated with a small panel of kinase inhibitors to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the maintenance of hair-bundle structure in the developing inner ear. At low concentrations (1-10 nM), staurosporine causes the collapse and loss of hair bundles without provoking hair-cell death, as judged by lack of terminal transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) labeling or reactivity to anti-activated caspase-3. Staurosporine exposure results in the fusion of the hair bundle's stereocilia, a resorption of the parallel actin bundles of the stereocilia into the cytoplasm of the hair cell, a detachment of the apical, non-stereociliary membrane of the hair cell from the underlying cuticular plate, and a severing of the hair-bundle's rootlets from the actin cores of the stereocilia. It does not block membrane retrieval at the apical pole of the hair cells, nor does it elicit the externalization of phosphatidylserine. Staurosporine treatment causes a reduction in levels of the phosphorylated forms of ezrin, radixin, and moesin in cochlear cultures during the period of hair-bundle loss, indicating the integrity of the hair bundle may be actively maintained by the phosphorylation status of these proteins.

Project description:Aminoglycosides exhibit ototoxicity by damaging mitochondria, which in turn generate reactive oxygen species that induce hair cell death and subsequent hearing loss. It is well known that damaged mitochondria are degraded by mitophagy, an important mitochondrial quality control system that maintains mitochondrial homeostasis and ensures cell survival. However, it is unclear whether dysregulation of mitophagy contributes to aminoglycoside-induced hair cell injury. In the current study, we found that PINK1-PRKN-mediated mitophagy was impaired in neomycin-treated hair cells. Our data suggested that mitochondrial recruitment of PRKN and phagophore recognition of damaged mitochondria during mitophagy were blocked following neomycin treatment. In addition, the degradation of damaged mitochondria by lysosomes was significantly decreased as indicated by the mitophagic flux reporter mt-mKeima. Moreover, we demonstrated that neomycin disrupted mitophagy through transcriptional inhibition of Pink1 expression, the key initiator of mitophagy. Moreover, we found that neomycin impaired mitophagy by inducing ATF3 expression. Importantly, treatment with a mitophagy activator could rescue neomycin-treated hair cells by increasing mitophagy, indicating that genetic modulation or drug intervention in mitophagy may have therapeutic potential for aminoglycoside-induced hearing loss.Abbreviations: AAV: adeno-associated virus; ABR: auditory brainstem response; ATF3: activating transcription factor 3; ATOH1/MATH1: atonal bHLH transcription factor 1; BafA1: bafilomycin A1; CCCP: carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazone; COX4I1/COXIV: cytochrome c oxidase subunit 4I1; CTBP2/RIBEYE: C-terminal binding protein 2; DFP: deferiprone; EGFP: enhanced green fluorescent protein; FOXO3: forkhead box O3; GRIA2/GLUR2: glutamate receptor, ionotropic, AMPA2 (alpha 2); HC: hair cell; HSPD1/HSP60: heat shock protein 1 (chaperonin); IHC: inner hair cell; MAP1LC3B/LC3B: microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 beta; MYO7A: myosin VIIA; OPTN: optineurin; OMM: outer mitochondrial membrane; PRKN: parkin RBR E3 ubiquitin protein ligase; PINK1: PTEN induced putative kinase 1; RT-qPCR: real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction; TOMM20/TOM20: translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 20; TUNEL: Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) dUTP nick-end labeling; USP30: ubiquitin specific peptidase 30; XBP1: X-box binding protein 1.
