Project description:The GJB6 gene is located just 35 kb telomeric to GJB2 in the so-called nonsyndromic hearing loss and deafness locus 1 (DFNB1). Knock out mouse models confirmed that inner ear expression of their protein products, connexin 30 (Cx30) and connexin 26 (Cx26), is crucial for hearing acquisition and normal development of the organ of Corti, however the coordinated regulation mechanism of Cx26 and Cx30 expression in the cochlea remains unclear. To investigate the mechanism underlying the etiopathogenesis of DFNB1, we used a microRNA (miRNA) and mRNA integrated expression profiling analysis on Cx30 -/- mice, which represent a model for humans in which large deletions in the DFNB1 locus lead to the down-regulation of both connexins and profound deafness.

Project description:Single-cell RNA sequencing is a powerful tool by which to characterize the transcriptional profile of low-abundance cell types, but its application to the inner ear has been hampered by the bony labyrinth, tissue sparsity, and difficulty dissociating the ultra-rare cells of the membranous cochlea. Herein, we present a method to isolate individual inner hair cells (IHCs), outer hair cells (OHCs), and Deiters' cells (DCs) from the murine cochlea at any post-natal time point. We harvested more than 200 murine IHCs, OHCs, and DCs from post-natal days 15 (p15) to 228 (p228) and leveraged both short- and long-read single-cell RNA sequencing to profile transcript abundance and structure. Our results provide insights into the expression profiles of these cells and document an unappreciated complexity in isoform variety in deafness-associated genes. This refined view of transcription in the organ of Corti improves our understanding of the biology of hearing and deafness.

Project description:The DNA-binding protein REST forms complexes with histone deacetylases (HDACs) to repress neuronal genes in non-neuronal cells. In differentiating neurons, REST is downregulated predominantly by transcriptional silencing. Here we report that post-transcriptional inactivation of REST by alternative splicing is required for hearing in humans and mice. We show that in the mechanosensory hair cells of the mouse ear, regulated alternative splicing of a frameshift-causing exon into the Rest mRNA is essential for the derepression of many neuronal genes. Heterozygous deletion of this alternative exon of mouse Rest causes hair cell degeneration and deafness, and the HDAC inhibitor SAHA (Vorinostat) rescues the hearing of these mice. In humans, inhibition of the frameshifting splicing event by a novel REST variant is associated with dominantly inherited deafness. Our data reveal the necessity for alternative splicing-dependent regulation of REST in hair cells, and identify a potential treatment for a group of hereditary deafness cases.

Project description:Mutations in GJB2 (Gap junction protein beta 2) are the most common genetic cause of non-syndromic hereditary deafness in humans, especially the 35delG and 235delC mutations. Owing to the homozygous-lethal of Gjb2 mutation in mice, there are currently no perfect mouse models carrying Gjb2 mutation to mimic human hereditary deafness and unveil the pathogenesis. Here, we first constructed heterozygous mutant mice, Gjb2+/35delG and Gjb2+/235delC, through androgenic haploid embryonic stem cells (AG-haESCs) mediated semi-cloning technology, which showed normal hearing function at P28. Furthermore, a homozygous mutant mouse model, Gjb235delG/35delG, was generated via enhanced tetraploid embryo complementation, which exhibited profound hearing loss like human patients at P14. Mechanism analysis showed that Gjb2 35delG disrupts the formation of intercellular gap junction channel and tunnel of Corti, and hair cell mechanotransduction, rather than the development of hair cells. Collectively, our study provides ideal mouse models for understanding the pathogenic mechanism and opens up a new avenue for investigating the treatment for DFNB1A-related hereditary deafness.

Project description:Activating transcription factor 6 (Atf6) is a key regulator of the unfolded protein response (UPR) and is important for endoplasmic reticulum (ER) function and protein homeostasis in metazoan cells. Patients carrying loss-of-function ATF6 disease alleles develop the cone dysfunction disorder, achromatopsia. The impact of loss of ATF6 function on other cell types, organs, and diseases in people remains unclear. Here, we reported that progressive sensorineural hearing loss was a notable complaint in some patients carrying ATF6 disease alleles and that Atf6-/- mice also showed progressive auditory deficits affecting both genders. In mice with hearing deficits, we found disorganized stereocilia on hair cells and focal loss of outer hair cells. Transcriptomic analysis of Atf6-/- cochleae revealed marked induction of UPR, especially through the PERK arm. These findings identify ATF6 as an essential regulator of cochlear health and function. Furthermore, they supported that ATF6 inactivation in people causes progressive sensorineural hearing loss as part of a blindness-deafness genetic syndrome targeting hair cells and cone photoreceptors. Lastly, our genetic findings support ER stress as an important pathomechanism underlying cochlear damage and hearing loss with clinical implications for patient lifestyle modifications that minimize environmental/physiologic sources of ER stress to the ear.

Project description:Deafness is the most common form of sensory impairment in humans and frequently caused by defects in hair cells of the inner ear. Here we demonstrate that in a mouse model for recessive non-syndromic deafness (DFNB6), inactivation of Tmie in hair cells disrupts gene expression in the neurons that innervate them. This includes genes regulating axonal pathfinding and synaptogenesis, two processes that are disrupted in the inner ear of the mutant mice. Similar defects are observed in mouse models for deafness caused by mutations in other genes with primary functions in hair cells. Gene therapy targeting hair cells restores hearing and inner ear circuitry in DFNB6 model mice. We conclude that hair cell function is crucial for the establishment of peripheral auditory circuitry. Treatment modalities for deafness thus need to consider restoration of the function of both hair cells and neurons, even when the primary defect occurs in hair cells.
