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.

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.

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.

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.

Project description:The aim of this study is to identify the gene targets of Chd7 (by RNA-seq) in spiral ganglia neurons and cochlear hair cells. mRNA profiles of FACS-sorted spiral ganglia neurons from 4-day old mice and cochlear hair cells from embryos af 16.5 days in controls, Chd7 heterozygous and Chd7 homozygous mutant animals were generated by paired-end sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina HiSeq 4000. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were reads were aligned to mouse MM10 genome assembly using HiSAT2 (version 2.1.0) with the default parameters in Galaxy (version 2.1.0). To facilitate quantitative gene expression analysis, aligned reads for each sample were counted using featureCounts (version1.6.4). Differential gene expression analysis was performed using DESeq2 (version 2.11.40.6), applying parametric fit. qRT–PCR validation was performed using SYBR Green and gene specific primers. To identify differentially expressed genes, RPKM values of genes that are not normally expressed in E16.5 hair cells or P4 spiral ganglia neurons were removed from analysis. This resulted in 6910 transcripts for genes expressed in hair cells and 11293 genes expressed in neurons. A pairwise comparison between controls and homozygotes and controls and heterozygotes was performed. Significant thresholds were considered for transcripts with an adjusted p-value (FDR) of ≤0.05 and linear fold change of >2 in either direction. Altered expression of selected genes was confirmed with qRT–PCR as well as the encoded proteins by immunohistochemistry. Analysis of differentially expressed genes uncovered novel targets and potential mechanisms by which Chd7 controls the survival of these cells during normal hearing.

Project description:In order to characterize the response to noise of various cell types in the inner ear, the cochleae from wild-type mice, naive or subjected to a 2h, 105 dB SPL noise insult, were dissected out. To further examine spiral ganglion neurons in more detail, non-neuronal populations were removed in one set of samples. In another set of samples, the lateral wall tissue was isolated to better understand how cells from the stria respond to noise insults. The resulting tissue was then dissociated to obtain a single cell suspension, and profiled by single cell RNA-seq.

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.
