Mapping out genome wide binding sites of Prox1 by CUT&RUN approach in mouse cochlea

ABSTRACT: The homeobox transcription factor Prox1 is critical for organogenesis including brain, retina, liver and pancreas and lymphatic system. Prox1 is transiently expressed in mouse cochlear hair cells (HCs) and supporting cells (SCs), however, it remains elusive about its in vivo DNA binding site and roles during cochlear development. Here, by using fresh cochlear tissues and Prox1 antibody, we firstly mapped out the genome-wide binding sites of Prox1 via Cleavage Under Targets and Release Using Nuclease (CUT&RUN). Gene function enrichment analysis suggests several potential functions of Prox1, one of which is regulating cell cycle progression. Secondly, to validate our CUT&RUN data, we further performed in vivo prox1 gain-of-function studies through genetic approaches. Onset of ectopic Prox1 at early embryonic otocyst leads to shorter cochlea with density of HCs and SCs distribution, suggesting a precocious cell cycle exit of cochlear sensory progenitor cells. These findings highlight the power of CUT&RUN in mapping DNA binding sites even in tissues (i.e. cochlea) with rare cells, as well as providing the first genetic evidence to support roles of Prox1 in regulating progenitor pools of cochlear progenitors.

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.

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.

Identification of intermediate transcriptome states and synergistic effects of Isl1 in Atoh1-mediated cochlear hair cell conversion

Project description:Ectopic expression of Atoh1 in non-sensory supporting cells (SCs) in mouse cochleae induces their conversion to hair cells (HCs) in vivo. cHCs in multiple intermediate states of the conversion process that most closely resembled neonatal differentiating HCs, but differed from the progenitors. We further identified 52 transcription factors that are differentially expressed in cHCs, SCs, and mature HCs and confirmed that Isl1 synergistically enhanced the efficiency of Atoh1-mediated HC conversion in cochlear explants. Our results demonstrate that direct HC conversion from SCs in vivo follows a different path from normal development and requires multiple factors for maximum efficiency and completion.

Comprehensive analysis on the signaling pathway of Norrie disease protein (Ndp)

Project description:Mutations in the gene for Norrie disease protein (Ndp) cause syndromic deafness and blindness. We show that cochlear function in an Ndp knockout (KO) mouse deteriorated with age: at P3-P4, hair cells (HCs) showed progressive loss of Pou4f3 and Gfi1, key transcription factors for HC maturation, and Myo7a, a specialized myosin required for normal function of HC stereocilia. Loss of expression of these genes correlated to increasing HC loss and profound hearing loss by 2 months of age. We show that overexpression of the Ndp gene in neonatal supporting cells or, remarkably, upregulation of canonical Wnt signaling in HCs rescued HCs and cochlear function. We conclude that Ndp secreted from supporting cells orchestrates a transcription factor network for the maintenance and survival of HCs and that increasing the level of b-catenin, the intracellular effector of Wnt signaling, is sufficient to replace the functional requirement for Ndp in the cochlea.

Single cell RNA sequencing analysis of mouse cochlear supporting cell transcriptomes with activated ERBB2 receptor, a candidate mediator of hearing restoration mechanisms

Project description:One potential approach to restore hearing is to enforce regeneration of hair cells (HCs) through induction of cellular signaling pathways in supporting cells (SCs) that promote dedifferentiation and proliferation. We previously showed that the constitutive activation of ERBB2 signaling in cochlear SCs indirectly promoted SC differentiation to HCs, both in vivo and in vitro. In the current study, we aimed at identifying mechanisms and molecular pathways activated in SCs with constitutive ERBB2 signaling. To this end, we used single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to characterize the transcriptomes of individual neonatal mouse cochlear SCs that were induced to express ERBB2. We found that induction of ERBB2 in vivo resulted in generation of a new distinct cluster of cells with unique transcriptome. This population has de novo expression of two members of the small integrin-binding ligand n-linked glycoproteins (SIBLING) family and their regulators. We confirm expression of the SIBLING Secreted phosphoprotein 1 (SPP1) as one of the most up-regulated genes in response to ERBB2 activation. SPP1 mediates signaling through the CD44 receptor, promoting survival, proliferation, and differentiation of osteoblast lineage cells. Histological analyses of cochlear samples collected from young adult mice confirmed that induction of ERBB2 after noise exposure resulted in up-regulation of both SPP1 and its receptor CD44, and the formation of mitotic sensory stem-like cell aggregates in the organ of Corti. Our results suggest that ectopic activation of ERBB2-signaling in young adult mice secondarily promotes SPP1/CD44 signaling, possibly altering the microenvironment of the organ of Corti.
