Mechanical forces direct the cell fate of inner ear organoids in a stage-dependent manner

ABSTRACT: During the development, mechanical force plays an important role in shaping the inner ear and establishing regular cellular patterns, however, the effects of ubiquitous mechanical cues on cellular fate determination are not clear. Here we developed stiffness adjustable hydrogels for three-dimensional (3D) cochlear organoid culture, which could precisely simulate the mechanical force from the extracellular matrix (ECM) during the expansion of cochlear progenitor cells (CPCs) and organoid formation. Within a certain range, suitable stiffness can stimulate CPC proliferation through a mechanism requiring integrin/cytoskeleton/YAP signaling. Surprisingly, increasing stiffness could inhibit the proliferation of CPCs and induce the differentiation of organoids, which was mediated by the increased intracellular Ca2+ signaling in CPCs, and further activated Klf2 to promote the differentiation of HCs with bundles. Furthermore, this chemical-defined hydrogel is also suitable for 3D bioprinting, and we printed the spiral-like structure with CPCs and HCs, which provided a promising way for cochlear organoids to further improve our understanding of the organization of the inner ear and contribute to developing new therapeutic approaches for HCs regeneration.

scRNA-seq of P2 mouse cochlea

Project description:Purpose and Methods: Cochlear sensory hair cells (HCs) are essential for our sense of hearing. They are embedded in the organ of Corti that lacks regenerative capacity, which is a major cause of hearing loss. However, some neonatal non-sensory cells in the organ of Corti display a limited regenerative ability. We used fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) to isolate different cochlear cell types from postnatal day 2 (P2) mice to assess the individual cell groups’ potential to grow organoids and to generate new HCs. Single-cell RNAseq validated the composition of the cell types in the sorted cell groups. Results and Conclusions: The greater epithelial ridge (GER), a transient tissue that only exists in the neonatal inner ear, harbored the most potent organoid-forming cells. GER-derived organoids expanded into large colonies when cultured adherently and gave rise to new hair cell marker-expressing cells in a sensory epithelia-resembling organization. The organoid forming ability of GER cells was synergistically enhanced when they were cultured at increasing density. The synergistic effect relied on direct cell-to-cell contact rather than released soluble factors.

Inner ear hair cell proteome

Project description:The mammalian inner ear subserves auditory and vestibular sensations via highly specialized cells and proteins. We show that sensory hair cells (HCs) employ hundreds of uniquely or highly expressed proteins for processes involved in transducing mechanical inputs, stimulating sensory neurons, and maintaining structure and function of these post-mitotic cells. Our proteomic analysis of purified HCs extends the existing HC transcriptome, revealing undetected gene products and isoform-specific protein expression. Comparison with mouse and human databases of genetic auditory/vestibular impairments confirms the critical role of the HC proteome for normal inner ear function, providing a cell-specific pool of candidates for novel, important HC genes. Several proteins identified exclusively in HCs by proteomics and by immunohistochemistry map to human genetic deafness loci, potentially representing new deafness genes.

Gene expression profile of cells from cochlear organoids and comparison with in vivo auditory sensory epithelium cells.

Project description:We sequenced the total RNA of cells from inner ear organoids generated by EFI,EFI-4C and EFI-CL expansion strategies. Transcriptional profiles revealed that CHIR and LPA significantly increased proliferative potency and contributed to the stemness maintenance. We further compared the gene expression profiles among the sorted Lgr5+ CPCs, the primary organoids of passage (P)0, the P4 organoids, and the sorted E-cadherin+ sensory epithelial cells. Inner ear organoids recapitulated genetic characteristics of auditory epithelium rather than Lgr5+ progenitors alone. Differential gene analysis of cells from primary organoids and organoids at fourth passage indicated stable transcriptional profiles among passages, which confirmed the reliability and authenticity of cochlear organoids for modeling the properties of the cochlea.

Mapping the developmental potential of mouse inner ear organoids at single-cell resolution

Project description:Inner ear organoids recapitulate development and are intended to generate cell types of the otic lineage for applications such as basic science research and cell replacement strategies. Here, we use single-cell sequencing to study the cellular heterogeneity of late-stage mouse inner ear organoid sensory epithelia, which we validated by comparison with data sets of the mouse cochlea and vestibular epithelia. We resolved supporting cell sub-types, cochlear like hair cells, and vestibular Type I and Type II like hair cells. While cochlear like hair cells aligned best with an outer hair cell trajectory, vestibular like hair cells followed developmental trajectories similar to in vivo programs branching into Type II and then Type I extrastriolar hair cells. These results highlight the transcriptional accuracy of the organoid developmental program but will also inform future strategies to improve synaptic connectivity and regional specification.

Transcriptomic Analysis of Adult Zebrafish Inner Ear Hair Cells

Project description:To understand the basic biological property of hair cells (HCs) from lower vertebrates, we examined transcriptomes of adult zebrafish HCs. GFP-labeled HCs were isolated from the utricle, saccule, and lagena, the three inner-ear sensory epithelia of a pou4f3 promoter-driven GAP-GFP line of transgenic zebrafish. 2,000 HCs and 2,000 non-sensory cells from the inner ear were individually collected by suction pipet technique. RNA sequencing was performed and the resulting sequences were mapped, analyzed, and compared. Comparisons allow us to identify enriched genes in HCs, which may underlie HC specialization.

Identifcation of Meis2 target genes in the otic cell line VOT-E36 via ChIP analysis

Project description:Meis genes have been shown to control essential processes during development of the central and peripheral nervous system. Here we have defined the roles of the Meis2 gene during vertebrate inner ear induction and the formation of the cochlea. Meis2 is expressed in several tissues required for inner ear induction and in non-sensory tissue of the cochlear duct. Global inactivation of Meis2 in the mouse leads to a severely reduced size of the otic vesicle. Tissue-specific knock outs of Meis2 reveal that its expression in the hindbrain is essential for inner ear induction. Inactivation of Meis2 in the inner ear itself leads to an aberrant coiling of the cochlear duct. By analyzing transcriptomes obtained from Meis2 mutants and ChIPseq analysis of an otic cell line we define candidate target genes for Meis2 which may be directly or indirectly involved in cochlear morphogenesis. Taken together, these data show that Meis2 is essential for inner ear formation and provide an entry point to unveil the network underlying proper coiling of the cochlear duct.

Single cell transcriptional profile of cells from cochlear organoids

Project description:We collected single cell transcriptome profiles of inner ear organoids from passage 2 (day 8) in expansion medium, differentiated day 5, and differentiated day 25. Cells from the three time points were divided into 5 distinct clusters by UMAP, indicating the presence of the basic cell types of the organ of Corti in cochlear organoid model. Deafness-related gene expression in differentiated day 25 organoid showed that the cell-type specificity related to genetic auditory disease was preserved in the organoids, and dynamic gene expression changes were observed along lineage trajectories form progenitors to mature cell types, similar to in vivo developmental process. These results showed that cochlea organoid can be used as a useful model for deciphering the effects of deafness gene mutations and understanding inner ear development.

A single-cell level comparison of human inner ear organoids with the human cochlea and vestibular organs

Project description:In this study, we generated a human inner ear atlas containing three stages of inner ear development. This atlas was used to evaluate the differentiation approach of human pluripotent stem cells in to complex inner ear tissue, known as inner ear organoids. The primary goal of this single-nucleus RNA-sequencing analysis was to capture the cell type diversity of the human inner ear at different stages of development. The secondary goal was to define the similarity of organoid-derived inner ear cell types with the atlas-derived human inner ear cell types and to determine the developmental stage of the organoid-derived inner ear cell types.

Defective Tmprss3-Associated Hair Cell Degeneration in Inner Ear Organoids

Project description:The role of TMPRSS3 in hair cell (HC) remains unclear. Nelson and colleagues generated stem cell-derived inner ear organoids with Tmprss3-mutations to show that 1) inner ear organoids exhibit comparative effects of the genetic abnormality to its in vivo counterparts, 2) Tmprss3-mutations lead to apoptosis and reduced BK channels in HCs, and 3) cell membrane-bound TMPRSS3 is localized in HCs.
