Project description:The mouse auditory organ cochlea contains two types of sound receptors: inner hair cells (IHCs) and outer hair cells (OHCs). Tbx2 is expressed in IHCs but repressed in OHCs, and neonatal OHCs that misexpress Tbx2 transdifferentiate into IHC-like cells. However, the extent of this switch from OHCs to IHC-like cells and the underlying molecular mechanism remain poorly understood. Furthermore, whether Tbx2 can transform fully mature adult OHCs into IHC-like cells is unknown. Here, our single-cell transcriptomic analysis revealed that in neonatal OHCs misexpressing Tbx2, 85.6% of IHC genes, including Slc17a8, are upregulated, but only 38.6% of OHC genes, including Ikzf2 and Slc26a5, are downregulated. This suggests that Tbx2 cannot fully reprogram neonatal OHCs into IHCs. Moreover, Tbx2 also failed to completely reprogram cochlear progenitors into IHCs. Lastly, restoring Ikzf2 expression alleviated the abnormalities detected in Tbx2+ OHCs, which supports the notion that Ikzf2 repression by Tbx2 contributes to the transdifferentiation of OHCs into IHC-like cells. Our study evaluates the effects of ectopic Tbx2 expression on OHC lineage development at distinct stages of either male or female mice and provides molecular insights into how Tbx2 disrupts the gene-expression profile of OHCs. This research also lays the groundwork for future studies on OHC regeneration.Significance Statement Elucidation of the molecular and genetic mechanisms governing the determination and stability of cochlear inner hair cells (IHCs) and outer hair cells (OHCs) should provide valuable insights into the regeneration of damaged IHCs and OHCs. Here, we conditionally overexpress Tbx2 in vivo in cochlear sensory progenitors, neonatal OHCs, or adult OHCs. Our results show that Tbx2 overexpression alone can partially destabilize the OHC fate but cannot fully convert OHCs into IHCs. Specifically, we demonstrate that Ikzf2 repression due to Tbx2 overexpression is one of the key pathways disrupting the OHC fate.

Project description:Atoh1 is essential for the development of both outer hair cells (OHCs) and inner hair cells (IHCs) in the mammalian cochlea. Whereas Ikzf2 is necessary for OHC development, the key gene required for IHC development remains unknown. We found that deletion of Tbx2 in neonatal IHCs led to their transdifferentiation into OHCs by repressing 26.7% of IHC genes and inducing 56.3% of OHC genes, including Ikzf2. More importantly, persistent expression of Tbx2 coupled with transient Atoh1 expression effectively reprogramed non-sensory supporting cells into new IHCs expressing the functional IHC marker vGlut3. The differentiation status of these new IHCs was considerably more advanced than that previously reported. Thus, Tbx2 is essential for IHC development, and co-upregulation of Tbx2 with Atoh1 in supporting cells represents a new approach for treating deafness related to IHC degeneration.

Project description:Development and transdifferentiation into inner hair cells require Tbx2

Project description:The cochlea uses two types of mechanosensory cell to detect sounds. A single row of inner hair cells (IHCs) synapse onto neurons to transmit sensory information to the brain, and three rows of outer hair cells (OHCs) selectively amplify auditory inputs1. So far, two transcription factors have been implicated in the specific differentiation of OHCs, whereas, to our knowledge, none has been identified in the differentiation of IHCs2-4. One such transcription factor for OHCs, INSM1, acts during a crucial embryonic period to consolidate the OHC fate, preventing OHCs from transdifferentiating into IHCs2. In the absence of INSM1, embryonic OHCs misexpress a core set of IHC-specific genes, which we predict are involved in IHC differentiation. Here we find that one of these genes, Tbx2, is a master regulator of IHC versus OHC differentiation in mice. Ablation of Tbx2 in embryonic IHCs results in their development as OHCs, expressing early OHC markers such as Insm1 and eventually becoming completely mature OHCs in the position of IHCs. Furthermore, Tbx2 is epistatic to Insm1: in the absence of both genes, cochleae generate only OHCs, which suggests that TBX2 is necessary for the abnormal transdifferentiation of INSM1-deficient OHCs into IHCs, as well as for normal IHC differentiation. Ablation of Tbx2 in postnatal, largely differentiated IHCs makes them transdifferentiate directly into OHCs, replacing IHC features with those of mature and not embryonic OHCs. Finally, ectopic expression of Tbx2 in OHCs results in their transdifferentiation into IHCs. Hence, Tbx2 is both necessary and sufficient to make IHCs distinct from OHCs and maintain this difference throughout development.

Project description:In order to determine the regulators of outer hair cell postnatal maturation, we utilized the RiboTag mouse model to perform a detailed transcriptomic analysis of outer hair cells at five postnatal developmental time points: P8, P14, P28, 6 weeks (6wk) and 10 weeks (10wk). This analysis resulted in consistent enrichment of outer hair cell expressed genes in the immunoprecipitated RNA compared to whole cochlear input RNA from each time point. Using transcription factor binding motif prediction on a set of defined outer hair cell enriched genes, we further use this dataset to identify the helios transcription factor as a regulator of the postnatal outer hair cell transcriptome.

Project description:The transcriptome is the complete set of all RNA transcripts produced by the genome in a cell and reflects the genes that are being actively expressed. Transcriptome analysis is essential for understanding the genetic mechanism controlling the phenotype of a cell. Using DNA microarray technique we examined transcriptomes of 2,000 individually collected inner (IHCs) and outer hair cells (OHCs), two types of auditory sensory cells critical for hearing. Among approximately 16,645 and 17,711 transcripts considered to be expressed, 1,296 and 256 genes showed significant differential expression in IHCs and OHCs, respectively. The top ten differentially expressed genes include Slc17a8, Dnajc5b, Slc1a3, Atp2a3, Osbpl6, Slc7a14, Bcl2, Bin1, Prkd1, Map4k4 in IHCs, and Slc26a5, C1ql1, Strc, Dnm3, Plbd1, Lbh, Olfm1, Plce1, Tectb, Ankrd22 in OHCs. Many unknown sequences and non-coding RNAs were also expressed in hair cells. The differentially expressed genes underlie the genetic mechanism for unique functions of IHCs and OHCs. The total RNA was extracted from the collected pools of single outer hair cell (OHC) and inner hair cell (IHC). Their whole-genome transcriptome expression was detected using GeneChip microarray analysis. The analysis and comparison between OHC and IHC allow us to determine what genes are expressed and what genes are uniquely or differential expressed in each population.

Project description:To further understand the biological properties of hair cells of the mammalian cochlea, we examined the transcriptome of adult inner and outer hair cells. Morphologically distinct inner and outer hair cells were isolated from the organ of Corti from adult CBA/J mice. One thousand inner and outer hair cells were separately collected for each biological replicate, using the suction pipette technique. RNA sequencing of two biological replicates of IHCs and three biological replicates of OHCs, each with two technical repeats, was performed. The resulting sequenced reads were mapped. Comparisons between inner and outer hair cells allow identification of enriched genes, as well as differentially expressed genes that result in cellular specialization. Our dataset provides an extensive resource for understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying morphology, function, and pathology of adult mouse inner and outer hair cells.
