Characterizing adult cochlear supporting cell transcriptional diversity using single-cell RNA-Seq: Validation in the adult mouse and translational implications for the adult human cochlea

ABSTRACT: Characterizing adult cochlear supporting cell transcriptional diversity using scRNA-Seq Hearing loss is a significant disability that impacts 432 million people worldwide. A significant proportion of these individuals are dissatisfied with or do not have access to available treatment options which include hearing aids and cochlear implants. An alternative approach to restore hearing would be to regenerate lost cells, including hair cells in the adult cochlea. Such therapy would require restoration of the organ of Corti’s complex architecture, necessitating regeneration of both mature hair cells and supporting cells. We characterize the first single-cell adult cochlear supporting cell transcriptomes with the goals of: (1) demonstrating their transcriptional distinctiveness from perinatal cochlear supporting cells, (2) providing a metric for future attempts at regenerating mature cochlear supporting cells by identifying both cell type-specific and regional-specific expression, and (3) identify cell cycle gene expression present in adult supporting cells at the single cell level which may establish a basis for targeting cell cycle regulation pathways to force these cells out of quiescence.

Unraveling the Molecular Landscape of Lead-Induced Cochlear Synaptopathy: A Quantitative Proteomic Analysis

Project description:This study investigates how lead exposure triggers cochlear synaptopathy and hearing loss in mice. Young-adult CBA/J mice were given lead acetate in drinking water for 28 days. We assessed hearing thresholds, outer hair cell activity, and synaptic changes in the cochlea. Lead exposure raises hearing thresholds, indicating cochlear synaptopathy. Notably affects synapses in the basal turn without impacting outer hair cells. In addition to this, lead altered the abundance of 352 synaptic proteins, with the synaptic vesicle cycle pathway prominently affected. Lead-induced cochlear synaptopathy targets basal cochlear regions, implicating synaptic vesicle cycle signaling in hearing loss. Revealing specific mechanisms behind lead-induced hearing deficits enhances targeted interventions and preventive strategies, advancing our understanding of lead induced hearing loss.

RNA-sequence facilitates analyze changes of signaling pathways after drug treatment

Project description:Mammalian cochlear hair cells cannot regenerate after damage, which was a cause of hearing loss. Due to the small number of cochlear hair cells, we were unable to collect enough cells for research. Therefore, we have established a inner ear organoid model in this way, which greatly expands the number of supporting cells, Lgr5 and gradually mature hair cells. It can be used in high-throughput screening experiments. Using this model for high-throughput screening of FDA small molecule Drug, we found that Regorafenib can promote hair cell regeneration in vitro and get more mature regenerated hair cells. And we found that Regorfenib was though a new VEGF-TGFB axis to regulate hair cell regeneration.

Dual expression of Atoh1 and Ikzf2 promotes transformation of adult cochlear supporting cells into outer hair cells

Project description:Mammalian cochlear outer hair cells (OHCs) are essential for hearing. Severe hearing impairment follows OHC degeneration. Previous attempts at regenerating new OHCs from cochlear supporting cells (SCs) have been unsuccessful, notably lacking expression of the key OHC motor protein, Prestin. Thus, regeneration of Prestin+ OHCs represented a barrier to restoring auditory function in vivo. Here, we reported the successful in vivo conversion of adult mouse cochlear SCs into Prestin+ OHC-like cells through the concurrent induction of two key transcriptional factors known to be necessary for OHC development: Atoh1 and Ikzf2. Single cell RNA sequencing reveals the upregulation of 729 OHC genes and downregulation of 331 SC genes in OHC-like cells. The resulting differentiation status of these OHC-like cells was much more advanced than previously achieved. This study thus established an efficient approach to induce the regeneration of Prestin+ OHCs, paving the way for in vivo cochlear repair via SC transdifferentiation.

RNA-sequence facilitates analyze changes of signaling pathways after cell reprogramming

Project description:Cochlear hair cells are the sensory cells responsible for transduction of acoustic signals. In mammals, damaged hair cells do not regenerate, resulting in permanent hearing loss. Reprogramming of the surrounding supporting cells to functional hair cells represent a novel strategy to hearing restoration. However, cellular processes governing the efficient and functional hair cell reprogramming are not completely understood. Employing the mouse cochlear organoid system, we performed detailed metabolomic characterizations of the expanding and differentiating organoids. We found that hair cell differentiation is associated with increased mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) activity and reactive oxidative species generation. Transcriptome and metabolome analyses indicate reduced expression of oxidoreductases and tricyclic acid (TCA) cycle metabolites. The metabolic decoupling between ETC and TCA cycle limits the availability of the key metabolic cofactors, α-ketoglutarate and NAD+. Reduced expression of NAD+ in cochlear supporting cells by PGC1α deficiency further impairs hair cell reprogramming, while supplementation of α-ketoglutarate and NAD+ promotes hair cell reprogramming both in vitro and in vivo. Our findings reveal metabolic rewiring as a central cellular process during hair cell differentiation, and highlight the insufficiency of key metabolites as a metabolic barrier for efficient hair cell reprogramming.

Transcriptomic and epigenetic regulation of hair cell regeneration in the mouse utricle and its potentiation by Atoh1

Project description:The mammalian cochlea loses its ability to regenerate new hair cells prior to the onset of hearing. In contrast, the adult vestibular system can produce new hair cells in response to damage, or by reprogramming of supporting cells with the hair cell transcription factor Atoh1. We used RNA-seq and ATAC-seq to probe the transcriptional and epigenetic responses of utricle supporting cells to damage and Atoh1 transduction. We show that the improved regenerative response of the utricle correlates with a more accessible chromatin structure in utricle supporting cells compared to their cochlear counterparts. We also provide evidence that Atoh1 transduction of supporting cells is able to promote increased transcriptional accessibility of some hair cell genes. Our study offers a possible explanation for regenerative differences between sensory organs of the inner ear, but shows that additional factors to Atoh1 may be required for optimal reprogramming of hair cell fate.

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.

Single cell gene expression profile of adult cochlear explants over the course of hair cell regeneration stimulated by Atoh1 activation [DoxVehicleAtoh1]

Project description:Strategies to overcome irreversible cochlear hair cell (HC) damage and loss are of vital importance to develop a treatment for hearing loss. HC regeneration in adult cochlea relies on a two-phase process: 1) Reprogramming mature cochlear (SCs) to regain the properties of their younger selves; 2) Activating Atoh1, a gene responsible for HC fate-determining, in the reprogrammed adult SCs for HC regeneration. We have shown that, by transient co-activation of Myc and NICD (Notch1 intracellular domain), the adult mouse cochlea can be successfully reprogrammed to a relatively younger stage and regain progenitor capacity, with the regeneration of HCs following Atoh1 overexpression in vitro and in vivo. To identify molecules to reprogram mature cochlear SCs and HC regeneration, we utilized single-cell RNA sequencing and uncovered the pathways and their target genes underlying MYC/NICD-mediated reprogramming. We used an in-house adult cochlea explant culture system and carried out single-cell RNA sequencing to examine the gene expression profiles of cochlear explants from a transgenic mouse model, rtTa/tet-Myc/-tet-NICD, in response to Dox-induced MYC/NICD co-activation. We compared gene expression profiles between Atoh1 activation vs. MYC/NICD/Atoh1 co-activation.

Gene Expression from hair cells and supporting cells in chick utricle

Project description:In adult mammals, hair cell loss is irreversible and may result in hearing and balance deficits. In contrast, birds can regenerate hair cells through differentiation of supporting cells and restore inner ear function, suggesting that hair cell progenitors are present in the population of supporting cells. We used microarrays to identify novel genes related to the regeneration in the chicken utricle. Supporting cell and hair cell populations of chicken utricle obtained by laser capture microdissection, following to do RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

We identified a combination (the cocktail) of drug-like molecules composing of small molecules and siRNAs to activate the pathways of Myc, Notch1, Wnt and cAMP. To identify molecules to reprogram mature cochlear SCs and HC regeneration, we utilized single-cell RNA sequencing and uncovered the pathways and their target genes underlying chemical-mediated reprogramming. We used an in-house adult cochlea explant culture system and carried out single-cell RNA sequencing to examine the gene expression profiles of cochlear explants, in response to chemical-induced reprogramming. We compared gene expression profiles between Vehicle/ad.Atoh1 activation vs. Cocktail (chemical reprogramming)/ad.Atoh1 activation.
