Developmental profiling of spiral ganglion neurons reveals insights into auditory circuit assembly

ABSTRACT: The sense of hearing depends on the faithful transmission of sound information from the ear to the brain by spiral ganglion (SG) neurons. However, how SG neurons develop the connections and properties that underlie auditory processing is largely unknown. We catalogued gene expression in mouse SG neurons at six developmental stages, ranging from embryonic day 12 (E12), when SG neurons first extend projections, up until postnatal day 15 (P15), after the onset of hearing. For comparison, we also analyzed the closely-related vestibular ganglion (VG) at the same time points.

For comparison, we also analyzed the closely-related vestibular ganglion (VG) at the same time points. To identify genes involved in SG axon guidance and branching, target selection, synaptogenesis, synaptic refinement, and synaptic function, we collected SG at E12 and E13, E16, P0, P6, and P15. We also collected VG at the same time points. For E12 and E13 time points, SG and VG were microdissected from Rnx-cre; Z/EG embryos, which express GFP in the VG. E16-P15 VG was also isolated by microdissection from Rnx-cre; Z/EG animals. E16-P15 SG neurons were isolated by FACS sorting dissociated cochlea from Mafb-GFP animals.

RNAseq of A/J mice spiral ganglion derived neurospheres vs differentiated auditory neurons

Project description:Sphere-forming progenitor cells can be isolated from the fetal and adult mammalian inner ear and give rise to inner ear specific cell types in vitro. Here, we provide phenotypical and functional characterization of a new pool of auditory progenitors as sustainable source for sphere-derived auditory neurons. The so-called phoenix auditory neuroprogenitors, isolated from the A/J mouse spiral ganglion, exhibit nearly unlimited intrinsic self-renewal properties (beyond 40 passages). At any passage, phoenix spheres can be efficiently differentiated by withdrawing growth factors into mature spiral ganglion cells, expressing both neurons and glial cells phenotypic markers and exhibiting similar functional properties as mouse spiral ganglion explants and human sphere-derived spiral ganglion cells. The present dataset includes RNAseq-based transcriptome analysis of phoenix auditory neurons following 7 days of differentiation. mRNA levels in differentiated cells are expressed relatively to neuroprogenitor spheres of equivalent passage (paired samples at passage 12, 21 and 36)

Transcriptomic analysis of the spiral ganglion from hearing and aminoglycoside deafened rats

Project description:We used RNAseq to assess transcriptomic changes in the spiral ganglion of rats deafened with kanamycin compared to hearing control rats to gain a better understanding of the deafening-induced changes that occur in the spiral ganglion. Transcriptomic profiles were obtained from whole spiral ganglion from hearing and deafened rats at P32 and P60. We observed significant changes in gene expression in not only deafened compared to hearing ganglia, but also from P32 to P60 in normal hearing animals. The most prominent change after deafening was an increase in immune response-related gene expression, indicating that immune response activation occurs in the deafened spiral ganglion.

Neuronal heterogeneity and stereotyped connectivity in the auditory afferent system

Project description:Spiral ganglion (SG) neurons of the cochlea convey all auditory inputs to the brain, yet the cellular and molecular complexity necessary to decode the various acoustic features in the SG has remained unresolved. Using unbiased single-cell RNA sequencing, we identified four types of SG neurons, including three novel subclasses of type I neurons and the type II neurons, and provide a comprehensive genetic framework that define their potential synaptic communication patterns. The connectivity patterns of the three subclasses of type I neurons with inner hair cells and their electrophysiological profiles suggest that they represent the intensity-coding properties of auditory afferents. Moreover, neuron type specification is already established at birth, indicating a neuronal diversification process independent of neuronal activity. Thus, this work provides a transcriptional catalog of neuron types in the cochlea, which serves as a valuable resource for dissecting cell-type-specific functions of dedicated afferents in auditory perception and in hearing disorders.

Expression of Wnt Receptors in Adult Spiral Ganglion Neurons: Fzd 9 Located at Growth Cones of Regenerating Neurites

Project description:The fidelity of sound transmission by cochlear implants in patients with sensorineural hearing loss could be greatly improved by increasing the number of frequency channels. This could be achieved by stimulating and guiding neurite outgrowth to reduce the distance between the implant's electrodes and the remnants of the spiral ganglion neurons. However, little is known about signaling pathways, besides those of neurotrophic factors, that are operational in the adult spiral ganglion. To systematically identify neuronal receptors for guidance cues in the adult cochlea, we conducted a genome-wide cDNA microarray screen with two-month-old CBA/CaJ mice. A meta-analysis of our data and those from older mice in two other studies revealed the presence of neuronal transmembrane receptors that represent all four established guidance pathways—ephrin, netrin, semaphorin, and slit—in the mature cochlea as late as 15 months. In addition, we observed the expression of all known receptors for the Wnt morphogens, whose neuronal guidance function has only recently been recognized. In situ hybridizations located the mRNAs of the Wnt receptors frizzled 1, 4, 6, 9, and 10 specifically in adult spiral ganglion neurons. Finally, frizzled 9 protein was found in the growth cones of adult spiral ganglion neurons that were regenerating neurites in culture. We conclude from our results that adult spiral ganglion neurons are poised to respond to neurite damage, owing to the constitutive expression of a large and diverse collection of guidance receptors. Wnt signaling, in particular, emerges as a candidate pathway for guiding neurite outgrowth towards a cochlear implant after sensorineural hearing loss.

Spiral ganglion subtype specification occurs prior to birth in the mouse

Project description:Little is known about the timing and factors which regulate the specification of neuronal subtypes in the cochlear spiral ganglion. Here we collect Spiral Ganglion Neurons (SGNs) from the mouse across four developmental timepoints (E14, E16, E18 and P1) in order to transciptionally profile their development.

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.

Direct reprogramming of spiral ganglion non-neuronal cells into neurons: Towards ameliorating sensorineural hearing loss by gene therapy

Project description:The loss of primary auditory neurons (PANs) leads to permanent hearing impairment since they are incapable of regenerating. Spiral ganglion non-neuronal cells (SGNNCs), comprised mainly of glia, are resident within the modiolus and continue to survive after PAN loss. These attributes make SGNNCs an excellent target for replacing damaged PANs through cellular reprogramming. We used the neurogenic pioneer transcription factor Ascl1 and the auditory neuron differentiation factor NeuroD1 to reprogram SGNNCs into induced neurons (iNs). The overexpression of both Ascl1 and NeuroD1 in vitro generated iNs at high efficiency and these iNs expressed several key markers of neuron identity. Transcriptome analyses revealed that iNs displayed a transcriptome profile resembling that of endogenous PANs, demonstrating that PAN-like neurons can be generated from endogenous SGNNCs. This work suggests that gene therapy can be a viable strategy to treat sensorineural hearing loss caused by degeneration of PANs.
