Project description:Mutations in the chromatin remodeling enzyme CHD7 cause CHARGE syndrome, which affects multiple organs including the inner ear. We investigated how CHD7 mutations affect otic development in human inner ear organoids. We found loss of CHD7 or its chromatin remodeling activity leads to complete absence of hair cells and supporting cells, which can be explained by dysregulation of key otic development-associated genes in mutant otic progenitors. Further analysis of the mutant otic progenitors suggested that CHD7 can regulate otic genes through a chromatin remodeling-independent mechanism. Results from transcriptome profiling of hair cells revealed disruption of deafness gene expression as a potential underlying mechanism of CHARGE-associated sensorineural hearing loss. Notably, co-differentiating CHD7 knockout and wild-type cells in chimeric organoids partially rescued mutant phenotypes by restoring otherwise severely dysregulated otic genes. Taken together, our results suggest that CHD7 plays a critical role in regulating human otic lineage differentiation and deafness gene expression.

Project description:The molecular characterization of early stages of human inner ear development is limited by the difficulty in accessing samples at early gestational stages. Some aspects of inner ear morphogenesis can be recapitulated using pluripotent stem cell directed differentiation in inner ear organoids (IEOs). Once validated and benchmarked, these models could provide a unique tool to complement and refine our understanding of human otic differentiation and could be used to model developmental defects.Here we provide a first characterization of early human embryonic otocyst development and compare the primary tissue to the iPSC-derived inner ear cell types. Multiplex immunostaining and single cell RNA sequencing were used to characterize human iPSC-derived IEOs at 3 key developmental steps, providing a new and unique signature of in vitro derived otic- placode, epithelium, neuroblasts and sensory epithelia. The expression and localization of key markers were further evaluated in human embryos. We show that the otic placode derived in vitro (day 8-12) matches marker expression of Carnegie Stage (CS) 11 embryos, and subsequently (day 20-40) gives rise to otic epithelia and neuroblasts comparable to the CS13 embryonic stage. Differentiation of sensory epithelia, including supporting cells and hair cells, starts in vitro at day 50-60 of culture. The maturity of these cells is equivalent to vestibular sensory epithelia at week 10 or cochlear tissue at week 12 of development, prior to functional onset. Taken together these data indicates that the current state of the art protocol enables the specification of bona fide otic tissue, supporting further application of IEOs to model inner ear biology and disease

Project description:CHD7, an ATP-dependent chromatin remodeler, is disrupted in CHARGE syndrome, an autosomal dominant condition characterized by variably penetrant abnormalities in craniofacial, cardiac, and neuronal tissues. The inner ear is uniquely sensitive to CHD7 levels and is the most commonly affected organ in individuals with CHARGE. Interestingly, up- or down-regulation of retinoic acid (RA) signaling during embryogenesis leads to developmental defects similar to those in CHARGE syndrome, suggesting CHD7 and RA share target genes or signaling pathways. Here, we report that CHD7 and retinoic acid receptor (RAR) do not directly interact, and that RA induces rapid neuronal differentiation of human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells without affecting CHD7 levels. Instead, we provide evidence that CHD7 directly regulates expression of Aldh1a3, which encodes an RA synthetic enzyme, and that loss of Aldh1a3 partially rescues Chd7-mutant mouse inner ear defects, indicating that ALDH1A3 acts with CHD7 in a common genetic pathway to regulate inner ear development.

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.

Project description:Inner ear morphogenesis requires tightly regulated epigenetic and transcriptional control of gene expression. CHD7, an ATP-dependent chromodomain helicase DNA-binding protein, and SOX2, an SRY-related HMG box pioneer transcription factor, are known to contribute to vestibular and auditory system development, but their genetic interactions in the ear have not been explored. Here, we analyzed inner ear development and the transcriptional regulatory landscapes in mice with variable dosage of Chd7 and/or Sox2. We show that combined haploinsufficiency for Chd7 and Sox2 results in reduced otic cell proliferation, severe malformations of semicircular canals, and shortened cochlea with ectopic hair cells. Examination of mice with conditional, inducible Chd7 loss by Sox2CreER reveals a critical period (~E9.5) of susceptibility in the inner ear to combined Chd7 and Sox2 loss. Data from genome-wide RNA-sequencing and CUT&Tag studies in the otocyst show that CHD7 regulates Sox2 expression and acts early in a gene regulatory network to control expression of key otic patterning genes, including Pax2 and Otx2. CHD7 and SOX2 directly bind independently and cooperatively at transcription start sites and enhancers to regulate otic progenitor cell proliferation and function. Together, our findings reveal essential roles for Chd7 and Sox2 in the early inner ear and may be applicable for CHD7 and SOX2 related syndromic and other forms of hearing or balance disorders.

Project description:The inner ear in mammals is derived from a simple ectodermal thickening called the otic placode. Through a series of complex morphological changes, the placode forms the mature inner ear comprising of the auditory organ (cochlea) and the vestibular/balance organs (utricle, saccule, and three semi-circular canals). The vast majority of genes known to be involved during inner ear development have been found through mutational screens or by chance. To identify genes that can serve as novel candidates required for inner ear development, and also candidate genes for uncloned human deafnesses, inner ear tissues from mouse embryos from E9 to E15 were microdissected and expression-profiled at half-day intervals. Also profiled was the non-inner ear mesenchymal tissue surrounding the inner ear tissue. Various patterns of gene expression were identified, and significant biological pathways that these genes represented were identified. Also identified were mouse genes whose human orthologs are located within uncloned non-syndromic deafness intervals, thus serving as candidates for sequence analysis. Experiment Overall Design: Inner ear tissues from E9 to E15 were microdissected at half-day intervals. E9 is the earliest stage when the otic placode is clearly visible and able to be microdissected cleanly. E15 is the stage when all the organs of the inner ear have become established, as have the sensory hair and non-sensory support cells within those organs. For each of the stages from E9 to E10, whole inner ears were profiled. For each of the stages from E10.5 to E12, the primordial cochlear and vestibular organs were profiled separately. For each of the stages from E12.5 to E15, the cochlea and the saccule were profiled separately, whereas the utricle and the three ampullae were combined and profiled together. Any given tissue from any given stage was a collection of anywhere between 4 to 17 identical tissues, and was obtained in duplicate (i.e. from different litters). Hence, a total of 58 inner ear samples were obtained. Moreover, non-inner ear tissue found in the immediate vicinity of inner ear tissue was also obtained and profiled. Specifically, all non-inner ear tissue from E9 was profiled in duplicate. Non-inner ear tissue from E9.5 to E10.5 was pooled and profiled together (in duplicate), whereas that from E11 to E15 was pooled and profiled together (also in duplicate). Therefore, a total of 6 non-inner samples were obtained.

Project description:A large number of congenital hearing loss cases have an unknown genetic etiology. So far, transcriptomic approaches have successfully identified many candidate regulators of otic development, little is known about the abundance of their protein products during the development of the inner eat. Herein we used a multiplexed quantitative mass spectrometry-based proteomic approach to determine temporal trends in protein abundances during inner ear (otic) development in Xenopus. Wild type Xenopus embryos were cultured to larval stages and their otic tissues were manually dissected at five stages that represent that represent key transitions in otic morphology. The samples were processed using a bottom-up proteomic workflow and analyzed using LC-MS3.The analysis revealed dynamic expression of proteins related to cytoskeletal regulation, integrin signaling, and the extracellular matrix as inner ear structures developed. We correlated the dynamically regulated proteins in our dataset with previously published putative downstream targets of syndromic hearing loss genes SIX1 and CHD7 to identify novel candidate genes for congenital hearing loss.

Project description:The morphogenesis of the otic vesicle (OV) to form inner ear organs serves as an excellent model system to understand cell fate acquisition on a single cell level. Tbx2 and Tbx3 (Tbx2/3) encode closely related T-box transcription factors that are expressed widely in the mammalian otic vesicle (OV). Inactivation of both genes in the Pax2-Cre lineage (Tbx2/3cKO) results in failed morphogenesis of the OV into inner ear organs. To understand the basis of these defects, single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) was performed on the OV lineage using Pax2-Cre, in controls versus Tbx2/3cKO embryos, at stage E10.5. We identified a multipotent population termed otic progenitors that are localized to the anterior ventrolateral region of the OV in controls and are marked by expression of Fgf18, Sox3, and Cxcl12. The otic progenitor population was increased three-fold in Tbx2/3cKO embryos, concomitant with dysregulation of genes in these cells as well as reduced progression to more differentiated states of prosensory and nonsensory cells. An ectopic neural population of cells was detected in the posterior OV of Tbx2/3cKO embryos due to increased expression of Neurog1 and NeuroD1 but with reduced maturation. As all three cell fates were affected in Tbx2/3cKO embryos, we suggest that Tbx2/3 promotes progression of multipotent otic progenitors to more differentiated cell types in the OV.

Project description:To investigate pathogenic mechnism of hearing loss in inner ear organoids in PAX3 gene mutation of WS1 patient in vitro , we established the iPSCs line from one WS1 patient carrying a heterozygous mutation in the PAX3 gene and one healthy control. We also constructed the iPSCs line from isogenic CRISPR/Cas9 corrected iPSCs of PAX3 gene mutation. These iPSCs were differentiated into inner ear organoid-like structure with otic vesicles-specific marker.
