In Vivo and Ex Vivo Utricles treated with ATOH1 under different promoters
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Vestibular hair cells are mechanoreceptors critical for detecting head position and motion. In mammals, hair cell loss causes vestibular dysfunction as spontaneous regeneration is nearly absent. Constitutive expression of exogenous ATOH1, a hair cell transcription factor, increases regeneration of hair cells, but these cells fail to mature. With the aim of developing an optimized AAV-based ATOH1 gene therapy, we used single-cell RNA-Seq and explored the impact of defined promoters on ATOH1 transgene expression level, timing, effects in distinct cell types, and the maturity of regenerated vestibular hair cells ex vivo and in vivo.
