Inner ear supporting cells are organized tissue-resident macrophages arranged like cobblestones.

ABSTRACT: Sensorineural hearing loss (SHL) is a relatively common disease, and studies have suggested viral infection as a major cause. In the inner ear, the blood-labyrinthine barrier prevents access of the peripheral immune system; therefore, the immune system remains poorly understood. Here we found that cochlear accessory supporting cells (SCs), which are anchored by tight junctions, are organized tissue-resident macrophages. Virus-infected supporting cells change into activated macrophages and protect audiosensory receptor hair cells (HCs) against virus infection by producing interferon (IFN)-α/β. Moreover, we also observed bacterial phagocytosis by SCs. However, tumour necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (Trail), produced by virus-infected SCs, induced sensory hair loss and HC death by necroptosis. Notably, corticosteroid, the only effective drug for SHL, inhibited the virus-induced macrophage change of SCs. These results revealed an inner ear immune system, and suggest a possible mechanism for virus-induced SHL.

Expression data from Pou4f3-Rb1 cKO and control inner ear

Project description:Retinoblastoma gene (Rb1) is required for proper cell cycle exit in the developing mouse inner ear and its deletion in the embryo leads to proliferation of sensory progenitor cells that differentiate into hair cells and supporting cells. In the Pou4f3-Cre:Rb1 flox/flox (Rb1 cKO) inner ear, utricular hair cells differentiate and survive into adulthood whereas differentiation and survival of cochlear hair cells are impaired. To comprehensively survey the pRb pathway in the mammalian inner ear, we performed microarray analysis of Rb1 cKO cochlea and utricle. P6 or 2-month control and Rb1 cKO littermates were euthanized and the inner ear tissues were dissected. Total RNA was extracted from the pooled samples. Technical duplicates of the pooled RNA were used for microarray.

Single-cell transcriptomic profiling of the zebrafish inner ear reveals molecularly distinct hair cell and supporting cell subtypes

Project description:A major cause of human deafness and vestibular dysfunction is permanent loss of the mechanosensory hair cells of the inner ear. In non-mammalian vertebrates such as zebrafish, regeneration of missing hair cells can occur throughout life. While a comparative approach has the potential to reveal the basis of such differential regenerative ability, the degree to which the inner ears of fish and mammals share common hair and supporting cell types remains unresolved. Here we perform single-cell RNA sequencing of the zebrafish inner ear at embryonic through adult stages to catalog the diversity of hair and non-sensory supporting cells. We identify a putative progenitor population for hair and supporting cells, as well as distinct hair and supporting cell types in the maculae versus cristae. The hair and supporting cell types differ from those described for the lateral line, a distributed mechanosensory organ in zebrafish in which most studies of hair cell regeneration have been conducted. In the maculae, we identify two subtypes of hair cells that share gene expression with mammalian striolar or extrastriolar hair cells. In situ hybridization reveals that these hair cell subtypes occupy distinct spatial domains within the two major macular organs, the utricle and saccule, consistent with the reported distinct electrophysiological properties of hair cells within these domains. These findings suggest that primitive specialization of spatially distinct striolar and extrastriolar hair cells likely arose in the last common ancestor of fish and mammals. The similarities of inner ear cell type composition between fish and mammals also support using zebrafish as a relevant model for understanding inner ear-specific hair cell function and regeneration.

Defining developmental trajectories of prosensory cells in human inner ear organoids at single-cell resolution

Project description:The inner ear sensory epithelia contain mechanosensitive hair cells and supporting cells. Both cell types arise from SOX2-expressing prosensory cells, but the mechanisms underlying the diversification of these cell lineages remain unclear. To determine the transcriptional trajectory of prosensory cells, we established a SOX2-2A-ntdTomato human ES cell line using CRISPR/Cas9, and performed single-cell RNA-sequencing analysis with SOX2-positive cells isolated from inner ear organoids at various time points between differentiation days 20 and 60. Our pseudotime analysis suggests that hair cells arise primarily from supporting cells, rather than bi-fated transitional cells in organoids. Moreover, ion channel- and ion transporter-related gene sets were enriched in supporting cells vs. prosensory cells, whereas Wnt signaling-related gene sets were enriched in hair cells vs. supporting cells. These findings provide valuable insights into how prosensory cells give rise to hair cells and supporting cells during human inner ear development, and may provide a clue to promote hair cell regeneration from resident supporting cells in individuals with hearing loss and balance disorders.

Gene Expression from hair cells and supporting cells in chick utricle

Project description:In adult mammals, hair cell loss is irreversible and may result in hearing and balance deficits. In contrast, birds can regenerate hair cells through differentiation of supporting cells and restore inner ear function, suggesting that hair cell progenitors are present in the population of supporting cells. We used microarrays to identify novel genes related to the regeneration in the chicken utricle. Supporting cell and hair cell populations of chicken utricle obtained by laser capture microdissection, following to do RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

A Single Cell RNA-seq Atlas of Developing Inner Ear Organoids

Project description:In 2014, a method was introduced to differentiate mouse embryonic stem cells into inner ear vestibular-like sensory epithelia in vitro. The resulting inner ear organoids represent a potentially inexhaustible source of tissues for investigating mechanosensory hair cell development, function, and responses to ototoxic and regenerative treatments. However, there has been limited exploration into how closely the molecular characteristics of organoid-derived hair cells match those that develop in vivo. To address this gap, we have employed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to generate a comprehensive atlas of inner ear organoid development at six stages, spanning the formation of definitive ectoderm to the emergence of sensory hair cells. Here, we specifically utilize our inner ear organoid atlas to define the dynamic changes in gene expression that occur during otic vesicle cell maturation into sensory epithelial supporting cells and hair cells.

Long-range Atoh1 enhancers maintain competency for hair cell regeneration in the inner ear

Project description:During tissue regeneration, lineage-related cells can switch their fate to replace missing cells. This cell plasticity is particularly prominent in more regenerative vertebrates such as zebrafish, yet the molecular basis by which cells transdifferentiate into another cell type upon injury remains unclear. Here we investigate the epigenetic basis of regenerative transdifferentiation in the inner ear, where supporting cells (SCs) generate mechanosensory hair cells (HCs) upon damage. By comparing the chromatin landscapes in regenerative zebrafish and green anole lizards versus non-regenerative mice, we identified a class of enhancers that function in progenitors to generate HCs and then are selectively maintained in SCs of regenerative vertebrates to regenerate HCs. In particular, we uncovered a syntenic class of long-range enhancers for Atoh1, a master transcription factor for HC differentiation. In the absence of injury, these enhancers maintain accessibility in SCs through adulthood but are prevented from driving zebrafish atoh1a expression through Notch repression. Deletion of these enhancers not only impaired atoh1a expression and HC formation during development but also blocked the ability of SCs to transdifferentiate into HCs during regeneration. Moreover, defects were specific to the inner ear versus the lateral line, revealing distinct mechanisms of regeneration in these mechanosensory organs. These findings reveal a class of regenerative enhancer that maintains competency of inner ear SCs to upregulate atoh1a and transdifferentiate into HCs upon damage. We propose that the continued accessibility of developmental enhancers for one cell fate in lineage-related cells may be a common theme underlying adult cell plasticity in regenerative vertebrates.

Transcriptomic and epigenetic regulation of hair cell regeneration in the mouse utricle and its potentiation by Atoh1

Project description:The mammalian cochlea loses its ability to regenerate new hair cells prior to the onset of hearing. In contrast, the adult vestibular system can produce new hair cells in response to damage, or by reprogramming of supporting cells with the hair cell transcription factor Atoh1. We used RNA-seq and ATAC-seq to probe the transcriptional and epigenetic responses of utricle supporting cells to damage and Atoh1 transduction. We show that the improved regenerative response of the utricle correlates with a more accessible chromatin structure in utricle supporting cells compared to their cochlear counterparts. We also provide evidence that Atoh1 transduction of supporting cells is able to promote increased transcriptional accessibility of some hair cell genes. Our study offers a possible explanation for regenerative differences between sensory organs of the inner ear, but shows that additional factors to Atoh1 may be required for optimal reprogramming of hair cell fate.

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.
