BAI1 localises AMPA receptors at the cochlear afferent postsynaptic density and is

ABSTRACT: Type I spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) convey sound information to the central auditory pathway by forming axo-somatic synapses with inner hair cells (IHCs), the primary sensory receptors of the mammalian cochlea. Although IHC ribbon synapses have been extensively studied, the molecular mechanisms regulating the structure and function of the post-synaptic density (PSD) at the SGN afferent terminals are largely unknown. Using functional, morphological, and transcriptomic approaches, we demonstrate that brain-specific angiogenesis inhibitor 1 (BAI1), encoded by the Adgrb1 gene, is required for the clustering of the glutamate AMPA receptors GluR2-4 to the SGN post-synaptic density. Adult mice expressing BAI1 lacking the N-terminal thrombospondin type 1 repeats (TRS) have functional IHC synapses but fail to transmit acoustic information to the SGNs, leading to highly raised auditory thresholds. We also found that in adult Bai1-deficient mice, despite the almost complete absence of AMPA receptors, the SGN fibres innervating the IHCs did not degenerate. RNA sequencing and western blotting also indicate that AMPA receptors are expressed in the cochlea of Bai1-deficient mice, highlights that BAI1 is involved is trafficking or anchoring GluR2-4 to the PSDs. Moreover, these results have identified novel molecular and functional mechanisms required for sound encoding at cochlear ribbon synapses.

The upregulation of K+ and HCN channels in developing spiral ganglion neurons is mediated by cochlear inner hair cells

Project description:Spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) are primary sensory afferent neurons that relay acoustic information from the cochlear inner hair cells (IHCs) to the brainstem. The response properties of different SGNs diverge to represent a wide range of sound intensities in an action-potential code. This biophysical heterogeneity is established during pre-hearing stages of development, a time when IHCs fire spontaneous Ca2+ action potentials that drive glutamate release from their ribbon synapses onto the SGN terminals. The role of spontaneous IHC activity in the refinement of SGN characteristics is still largely unknown. Using pre-hearing otoferlin knockout mice (Otof-/-), in which Ca2+-dependent exocytosis in IHCs is abolished, we found that developing SGNs fail to upregulate low-voltage-activated K+-channels and hyperpolarisation-activated cyclic-nucleotide-gated channels. This delayed maturation resulted in hyperexcitable SGNs with immature firing characteristics. We have also shown that SGNs that synapse with the pillar side of the IHCs selectively express a resurgent K+ current, highlighting a novel biophysical marker for these neurons. RNA-sequencing showed that several K+ channels are downregulated in Otof-/- mice, further supporting the electrophysiological recordings. Our data demonstrate that spontaneous Ca2+-dependent activity in pre-hearing IHCs regulates some of the key biophysical and molecular features of the developing SGNs. KEY POINTS: Ca2+-dependent exocytosis in inner hair cells (IHCs) is otoferlin-dependent as early as postnatal day 1. A lack of otoferlin in IHCs affects potassium channel expression in SGNs. The absence of otoferlin is associated with SGN hyperexcitability. We propose that type I spiral ganglion neuron functional maturation depends on IHC exocytosis.

Runx1 Controls Auditory Sensory Neuron Diversity (iCKO)

Project description:As the primary sensory neurons of the auditory system, Type I spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) encode sound stimulus properties critical for the formation of auditory percept in higher brain areas. Their functional heterogeneity is thought to contribute to our ability to hear a wide range of sound intensities and against background noise, but how SGN diversity arises during development is poorly understood. Here we studied the role of the transcription factor Runx1 in establishing SGN heterogeneity in the mouse cochlea by single cell RNA-sequencing.

Comprehensive transcriptome analysis of cochlear spiral ganglion neurons at multiple ages

Project description:Inner ear cochlear spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) transmit sound information to the brainstem. Recent single cell RNA-Seq studies have revealed heterogeneities within SGNs. Nonetheless, much remains unknown about the transcriptome of SGNs, especially which genes are specifically expressed in SGNs. To address these questions, we needed a deeper and broader gene coverage than that in previous studies. We performed bulk RNA-Seq on mouse SGNs at five ages, and on two reference cell types (hair cells and glia). Their transcriptome comparison identified genes previously unknown to be specifically expressed in SGNs. To validate our dataset and provide useful genetic tools for this research field, we generated two knockin mouse strains: Scrt2-P2A-tdTomato and Celf4-3xHA-P2A-iCreER-T2A-EGFP. Our comprehensive analysis confirmed the SGN-selective expression of the candidate genes, testifying to the quality of our transcriptome data. These two mouse strains can be used to temporally label SGNs or to sort them.

Proteomic analysis reveals the composition of glutamatergic organelles of auditory inner hair cells

Project description:In the ear, inner hair cells (IHCs) employ sophisticated glutamatergic ribbon synapses with afferent neurons to transmit auditory information to the brain. The presynaptic machinery responsible for neurotransmitter release in IHC synapses includes proteins such as the multi-C2-domain protein otoferlin and the vesicular glutamate transporter 3 (VGluT3). Yet, much of this likely unique molecular machinery remains to be deciphered. The scarcity of material has so far hampered biochemical studies which require large amounts of purified sample. We developed a subcellular fractionation workflow combined with immunoisolation of VGluT3-containing membrane vesicles, allowing for the enrichment of IHC trafficking glutamatergic organelles that are likely dominated by synaptic vesicles (SVs) of IHCs. We have characterized their protein composition in mice before and after hearing onset using mass spectrometry and confocal imaging and provide a fully annotated proteome with hitherto unidentified proteins. Despite the prevalence of IHC marker proteins across IHC maturation, the profiles of trafficking proteins differed markedly before and after hearing onset. Our study provides an inventory of the machinery associated with synaptic vesicle-mediated trafficking and presynaptic activity at IHC ribbon synapses and serves as a foundation for future functional studies.

Global gene profiling of alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA)-induced neuronal death

Project description:AMPA receptors are involved not only in neuronal plasticity but also in excitotoxicity, mediated largely by the influx of Ca2+ (Choi et al., 1988). Their implication has been highlighted in animal models of ischemia and epilepsy. Studies of ischemic rodent models featured that prior to cell death, hippocampal CA1 pyramidal cells exhibit an increased AMPA receptor-mediated Ca2+ influx and decreased GluR2 and GluR3 mRNA and protein levels (Gorter et al., 1997; Heuerteaux et al., 1995). A total of 15 RNA samples were analyzed. Cultured murine primary cortical neurons were treated with 300uM AMPA over a time-course of 5h, 15h and 24h (n=3) in addition to the vehicle control (n=6).

Chromatin Chromatin remodeling protein CHD4 regulates axon guidance of spiral ganglion neurons in developing inner ear

Project description:The chromodomain helicase binding protein 4 (CHD4) is an ATP-dependent chromatin remodeler—De-novo pathogenic variants of CHD4 cause Sifrim-Hitz-Weiss syndrome (SIHIWES). Patients with SIHIWES show delayed development, intellectual disability, facial dysmorphism, and hearing loss. Many cochlear cell types, including spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs), express CHD4. SGNs are the primary afferent neurons that convey sound information from the cochlea, but the function of CHD4 in SGNs is unknown. We employed the Neurog1(Ngn1) CreERT2 Chd4 conditional knockout animals to delete Chd4 in SGNs. SGNs are classified as type I and type II neurons. SGNs lacking CHD4 showed abnormal fasciculation of type I neurons along with improper pathfinding of type II fibers. CHD4 binding to chromatin from immortalized multipotent otic progenitor-derived neurons was used to identify candidate target genes in SGNs. Gene ontology analysis of CHD4 target genes revealed cellular processes involved in axon guidance, axonal fasciculation, and ephrin receptor signaling pathway. We validated increased Epha4 transcripts in SGNs from Chd4 conditional knockout cochleae. The results suggest that CHD4 attenuates the transcription of axon guidance genes to form the stereotypic pattern of SGN peripheral projections. The results implicate how epigenetic changes affect circuit wiring by modulating axon guidance molecule expression and provide insights into neurodevelopmental diseases.

In situ regeneration of inner hair cells in the damaged cochlea by temporally regulated coexpression of Atoh1 and Tbx2

Project description:Cochlear inner hair cells (IHCs) are primary sound receptors, and thus in efforts to develop treatments for hearing impairment. IHC regeneration in vivo has been widely attempted, although not yet in the IHC-damaged cochlea. Moreover, the extent to which new IHCs resemble wild-type IHCs remains unclear, as does whether new IHCs can yield hearing improvement. Here, we developed an in vivo mouse model wherein wild-type IHCs were pre-damaged and nonsensory supporting cells were transformed into IHCs by ectopically expressing Atoh1 transiently and Tbx2 permanently. Notably, the new IHCs expressed the functional marker vGlut3 and presented similar transcriptomic and electrophysiological properties as wild-type IHCs. Furthermore, the formation efficiency and maturity of new IHCs were higher than those previously reported, although marked hearing improvement was not achieved, at least partly due to defective mechanoelectrical transduction (MET) in new IHCs. Thus, we successfully regenerated new IHCs resembling wild-type IHCs in multiple aspects in the damaged cochlea. Our findings suggest that the defective MET is a critical barrier preventing the restoration of hearing capacity and should thus facilitate future IHC regeneration studies.
