Abstract
Notch signaling patterns the cochlear organ of Corti, and individuals with the JAG1/NOTCH2-related genetic disorder Alagille syndrome can thus experience hearing loss. We investigated the function of Jag1 in cochlear patterning and signaling using Jag1Ndr/Ndr mice, which are a model of Alagille syndrome. Jag1Ndr/Ndr mice exhibited expected vestibular and auditory deficits, a dose-dependent increase in ectopic inner hair cells, and a reduction in outer hair cells. Single cell RNA sequencing of the organ of Corti demonstrated a global dysregulation of genes associated with inner ear development and deafness. Analysis of individual cell types further revealed that Jag1 represses Notch activation in lateral supporting cells and demonstrated a function for Jag1 in gene regulation and development of outer hair cells. Surprisingly, ectopic 'outer hair cell-like' cells were present in the medial compartment and pillar cell region of Jag1Ndr/Ndr cochleae, yet they exhibited location-dependent expression of the inner hair cell fate-determinant Tbx2, suggesting Jag1 is required for Tbx2 to drive inner hair cell commitment. This study thus identifies new roles for Jag1 in supporting cells, and in outer hair cell specification and positioning.
期刊介绍：
Development’s scope covers all aspects of plant and animal development, including stem cell biology and regeneration. The single most important criterion for acceptance in Development is scientific excellence. Research papers (articles and reports) should therefore pose and test a significant hypothesis or address a significant question, and should provide novel perspectives that advance our understanding of development. We also encourage submission of papers that use computational methods or mathematical models to obtain significant new insights into developmental biology topics. Manuscripts that are descriptive in nature will be considered only when they lay important groundwork for a field and/or provide novel resources for understanding developmental processes of broad interest to the community.
Development includes a Techniques and Resources section for the publication of new methods, datasets, and other types of resources. Papers describing new techniques should include a proof-of-principle demonstration that the technique is valuable to the developmental biology community; they need not include in-depth follow-up analysis. The technique must be described in sufficient detail to be easily replicated by other investigators. Development will also consider protocol-type papers of exceptional interest to the community. We welcome submission of Resource papers, for example those reporting new databases, systems-level datasets, or genetic resources of major value to the developmental biology community. For all papers, the data or resource described must be made available to the community with minimal restrictions upon publication.
To aid navigability, Development has dedicated sections of the journal to stem cells & regeneration and to human development. The criteria for acceptance into these sections is identical to those outlined above. Authors and editors are encouraged to nominate appropriate manuscripts for inclusion in one of these sections.
