Friedman, National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, National Institutes of Health, Rockville, MD, and accepted by the Editorial Board September 28, 2012 (received for review June 14, 2012) The gene causative for the human nonsyndromic recessive form of reticular lamina and the lower surface of the TM in an ex vivo deafness DFNB22 encodes otoancorin, a 120-kDa inner ear-specific preparation of the guinea pig cochlea provide evidence that, at protein that is expressed on the surface of the spiral limbus in the frequencies below 3 kHz, counterphase transverse movements of cochlea.

Measurements of cochlear microphonic potentials, reticular lamina will be inviscid, and that the hydrodynamic forces distortion product otoacoustic emissions, and basilar membrane on the hair bundle will be inertial. Although an overlying TM that motion indicate that the TM remains functionally attached to the is not directly attached to a hair bundle does not apply torque to electromotile, sensorimotor outer hair cells of the organ of Corti, the hair bundle (11), the inertial force of the fluid driving the hair and that the amplification and frequency tuning of the basilar bundle depends on its mass and therefore the size of the gap membrane responses to sounds are almost normal.

Ceacam16 (DFNA4) has been identi ed recently as a cause of late-onset progressive hearing loss in an American family (15). Mutations in Tecta are one of the most common causes of au- he sensory epithelium of the cochlea, the organ of Corti (Fig. tosomal-dominant, nonsyndromic hereditary hearing loss (20), T1), contains two types of hair cell, the purely sensory inner hair cells (IHCs) and the electromotile, sensorimotor outer hair and mouse models for the recessive (21) and dominant (22) cells (OHCs). These cells are critically positioned between two forms of deafness arising from mutations in Tecta have been GENETICS strips of ECM, the basilar membrane (BM) and the tectorial created. Together with data from a Tectb-null mutant mouse membrane (TM). Signal processing in the cochlea is initiated (23), these studies have provided evidence that the TM plays when sound-induced changes in fluid pressure displace the BM multiple roles in hearing (24). Although much is known about in the transverse direction, causing radial shearing displacements the structure of the TM, an ECM that is unique to the cochlea, between the surface of the organ of Corti (the reticular lamina) relatively little is known about how it attaches to the apical and the overlying TM (1). The radial shear is detected by the hair surface of the cochlear epithelium. Otoancorin, a product of the bundles of the IHCs and the OHCs (2), with the stereocilia of DFNB22 locus, is expressed on the apical surface of the spiral the OHC hair bundles forming an elastic link between the organ limbus and has been suggested to mediate TM attachment to this of Corti and the overlying TM (3).

Previous studies have shown that TECTA and TECTB are both required for formation of the striated-sheet matrix within which collagen fibrils of the TM are imbedded and that CEACAM16 interacts with TECTA. To learn more about the structural and functional significance of CEACAM16, we created a Ceacam16-null mutant mouse. In the absence of CEACAM16, TECTB levels are reduced, a clearly defined striated-sheet matrix does not develop, and Hensen’s stripe, a prominent feature in the basal two-thirds of the TM in WT mice, is absent. CEACAM16 is also shown to interact with TECTB, indicating that it may stabilize interactions between TECTA and TECTB.

(A) Neighboring motif of Wt1 consensus sites in Wt1 up-regulated genes indicating Sox 5 and Sox7 family binding motif. (B) Neighboring motif of Wt1 consensus sites in Wt1 down-regulated genes indicating Fox family binding motif (FoxP1, FoxP2, Foxj3, Foxj1, FoxK1 and Foxa2). 1 Figure S4. Venn diagram analysis of Wt1 up-regulated and Wt1 down-regulated genes along with podocytes enriched genes.

  • Novel Cell Types and Developmental Lineages Revealed by Single-Cell
    RESEARCH ARTICLE Novel cell types and developmental lineages revealed by single-cell RNA-seq analysis of the mouse crista ampullaris Brent A Wilkerson1,2†, Heather L Zebroski1,2, Connor R Finkbeiner1,2, Alex D Chitsazan1,2,3‡, Kylie E Beach1,2, Nilasha Sen1, Renee C Zhang1, Olivia Bermingham-McDonogh1,2* 1Department of Biological Structure, University of Washington, Seattle, United States; 2Institute for Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle, United States; 3Department of Biochemistry, University of Washington, Seattle, United States Abstract This study provides transcriptomic characterization of the cells of the crista ampullaris, sensory structures at the base of the semicircular canals that are critical for vestibular function. We performed single-cell RNA-seq on ampullae microdissected from E16, E18, P3, and P7 mice. Cluster analysis identified the hair cells, support cells and glia of the crista as well as dark cells and other nonsensory epithelial cells of the ampulla, mesenchymal cells, vascular cells, macrophages, and melanocytes. Cluster-specific expression of genes predicted their spatially restricted domains of *For correspondence: gene expression in the crista and ampulla.
