TMEM30A is essential for hair cell polarity maintenance in postnatal mouse cochlea

Cellular & Molecular Biology Letters, 2023
Background Phosphatidylserine is translocated to the inner leaflet of the phospholipid bilayer membrane by the flippase function of type IV P-tape ATPase (P4-ATPase), which is critical to maintain cellular stability and homeostasis. Transmembrane protein

Auditory Hair Cell Mechanotransduction Channels Dynamically Shape the Mechanical Properties of Their Membrane Environment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work shows, for the first time, that the stereocilia membrane in cochlear hair cells is dynamically regulated by the mechanotransduction channel to impact the membrane mechanical properties. This work provides direct evidence that the opening and closing associated with the MET channel is regulating the membrane viscosity suggesting that the MET ...

Mitochondrial CISD1 Modulates Microglial Metabolic Reprogramming to Drive Stress Susceptibility in Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
CDGSH iron sulfur domain 1 (CISD1) mitigates oxidative stress by promoting NADH oxidation and Coenzyme Q (CoQ) reduction. Under chronic stress, elevated CISD1 expression in microglia enhances NAD⁺ production, thereby increasing GAPDH activity and glycolytic flux, while reducing ATP synthesis by inhibiting proton transfer from mitochondrial complexes I ...

Gata3 is required for the functional maturation of inner hair cells and their innervation in the mouse cochlea

Journal of Physiology, 2019
The physiological maturation of auditory hair cells and their innervation requires precise temporal and spatial control of cell differentiation. The transcription factor gata3 is essential for the earliest stages of auditory system development and for ...

Electrical Control of the Transduction Channels’ Gating Force in Mechanosensory Hair Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The inner ear's hair cells rely on mechanosensitive ion channels to convert vibrations of their hair‐bundle into electrical signals. We show that varying the electrical potential (U) across the sensory epithelium modulates a key determinant of mechanosensitivity—the gating force (FG)—by modulating the gating swing (d), ranging from the size of the ...

Zinc-finger protein A20 protects hair cells from damage made by high-power microwave

Journal of Bio-X Research, 2019
. Inner ear hair cells are important for maintaining hearing. Irreversible damage to hair cells is an important cause of sensorineural deafness. Electromagnetic radiation, especially high-power microwave, is an important threat to human health in modern ...

Cell-Specific Transcriptome Analysis Shows That Adult Pillar and Deiters' Cells Express Genes Encoding Machinery for Specializations of Cochlear Hair Cells

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018
The mammalian auditory sensory epithelium, the organ of Corti, is composed of hair cells and supporting cells. Hair cells contain specializations in the apical, basolateral and synaptic membranes.

The Geometry of Layer 2/3 Cortical Sound Processing in Slow Wave Sleep

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Sleep is associated with a sensory disconnection whose mechanisms remain elusive. Large neuronal population recordings in the auditory cortex revealed that, in NREM sleep, the neural code for sounds is highly similar to wakefulness, but coordinated modulations of neuron responsiveness intermittently disconnect the local cortical networks from sensory ...

Astrocytic PERK Deficiency Drives Prefrontal Circuit Dysfunction and Depressive‐Like Behaviors

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Chen et al. show that the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress sensor PERK is downregulated in prefrontal cortex (PFC) astrocytes in major depressive disorder and in chronic‐stress mouse models. In young mice, astrocyte‐specific PERK loss reduces the synaptogenic cue thrombospondin‐1 (TSP1), leading to synaptic and circuit deficits and depressive‐like ...
