Neurotrophins can enhance spiral ganglion cell survival after inner hair cell loss.

Following destruction of sensory cells of the organ of Corti, spiral ganglion cells (SGC) in the guinea pig degenerate. Chronic electrical stimulation via cochlear prostheses can enhance their survival, with the effect blocked by stopping the electrically elicited action potentials with tetrodotoxin. Blocking action potentials in the normal hearing ear with tetrodotoxin, however, does not cause degeneration. This suggests that in the pathological ear VIII N activity acts as a survival factor, while in the normal ear there are other survival factors that maintain SGCs. We examined neurotrophins, as survival factors in the deafened ear. Two weeks of treatment with BDNF (brain derived neurotrophic factor) administered chronically via a mini-osmotic pump into scala tympani at 50 ng/ml, provided a statistically significant enhanced SGC survival over untreated deafened ears or deafened ears treated with artificial perilymph. Neurotrophin 3 provided some enhanced survival, but this was not statistically significant over untreated deafened ears. These observations suggest there are survival factors in the inner ear, including those coupled to direct activation of the auditory nerve fibers, that may serve to maintain the auditory nerve. These factors may be applied following deafness to maintain and enhance neural populations and to increase benefits to the profoundly deaf receiving cochlear implants.

Insertion of Inhbb into the Inhba locus rescues the Inhba-null phenotype and reveals new activin functions.

The activins (dimers of betaA or betaB subunits, encoded by the genes Inhba and Inhbb, respectively) are TGF-beta superfamily members that have roles in reproduction and development. Whereas mice homozygous for the Inhba-null allele demonstrate disruption of whisker, palate and tooth development, leading to neonatal lethality, homozygous Inhbb-null mice are viable, fertile and have eye defects. To determine if these phenotypes were due to spatiotemporal expression differences of the ligands or disruption of specific ligand-receptor interactions, we replaced the region of Inhba encoding the mature protein with Inhbb, creating the allele Inhbatm2Zuk (hereafter designated InhbaBK). Although the craniofacial phenotypes of the Inhba-null mutation were rescued by the InhbaBK allele, somatic, testicular, genital and hair growth were grossly affected and influenced by the dosage and bioactivity of the allele. Thus, functional compensation within the TGF-beta superfamily can occur if the replacement gene is expressed appropriately. The novel phenotypes in these mice further illustrate the usefulness of insertion strategies for defining protein function.

Polysialic acid in the cochlea of the developing mouse.

Polysialic acid (PSA), an unusual molecule covalently attached to the neural cell adhesion molecule, NCAM, has been shown to regulate cell-to-cell and cell-to-matrix interactions by interfering with the binding of cell-surface adhesion molecules. We used immunocytochemistry to map the temporospatial distribution of PSA in the mouse cochlea between embryonic day 16 and postnatal day 32 and compared it to the known timetable of neural growth and development. Polysialic acid immunoreactivity develops along a temporospatial gradient beginning in the basal turn and progressing to the apical turn. The expression is transitory on spiral ganglion neurons, intraganglionic bundles, radial bundles, and outer hair cells. Immunoreactivity diminishes progressively from the basal turn to the apical turn. Immunolabeling is maintained to adulthood on fibers in the inner spiral and inner pillar bundles, bundles which have been suggested to sprout continually and grow even in older animals. Inner hair cells are never immunolabeled. The temporo-spatial expression of PSA suggests its involvement in neural growth, whereas its extinction correlates with the time of onset of nerve-receptor interactions.
