DAM were identified using single-cell RNA sequencing within Alzheimer's Disease (AD) where they were characterized by their unique localization near amyloid-β plaques and their phagocytic and lipid-metabolizing features. Unfortunately, activation and etiology of DAM are only understood within the context of AD where Triggering Receptor Expressed On Myeloid Cells 2 (TREM2), a receptor for amyloid-β, appears to be the key regulator in microglial transition to a DAM state. Despite this reliance on TREM2 in AD, DAM appear across other neurodegenerative diseases in which TREM2 may not be a critical player. This begs the question of if DAM are truly the same across all neurodegenerative diseases or if there exists a heterogeneity to DAM across neurodegenerative pathologies. Investigation into this critical gap in the field regarding DAM etiology and activation, as well as DAM function, could be delineated utilizing models of Parkinson's disease (PD) to complement studies in models of AD. Though highly underexplored regarding DAM, PD with its pattern of protein aggregation-associated pathology like AD could serve as the spatiotemporal comparison against AD findings to ascertain the nature of DAM. The experimental vehicle that could guide the future of such investigation is the multi-omics model.

This requires the expression of specialized sets of ion channels to quickly repolarize neurons, prevent aberrant AP firing and tightly regulate neuronal excitability. Although critically important, the regulation of neuronal excitability has received little attention in the auditory system. Neuronal excitability is determined to a large extent by the resting membrane potential (RMP), which in turn depends on the kind and number of ion channels open at rest; mostly potassium channels. A large part of this resting potassium conductance is carried by two-pore potassium channels (K2P channels). Among the K2P channels, the subunit Task5 is expressed almost exclusively in the auditory brainstem, suggesting a specialized role in auditory processing. However, since it failed to form functional ion channels in heterologous expression systems, it was classified \"non-functional\" for a long time and its role in the auditory system remained elusive. Here, we generated Task5 knock-out (KO) mice. The loss of Task5 resulted in changes in neuronal excitability in bushy cells of the ventral cochlear nucleus (VCN) and principal neurons of the medial nucleus of the trapezoid body (MNTB). Moreover, auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) to loud sounds were altered in Tasko5-KO mice.

Such damaged ribbon synapses can repair spontaneously in mouse and guinea pig. However, the mechanisms for synaptic repair are unclear. Previously, we have demonstrated a critical role for the fractalkine signaling axis (CX<sub>3</sub>CL1-CX<sub>3</sub>CR1) in synaptic repair, wherein noise-damaged ribbon synapses are spontaneously repaired in the presence of fractalkine receptor (CX<sub>3</sub>CR1) expressed by cochlear macrophages. Here, we examined whether local administration of chemokine fractalkine ligand (CX<sub>3</sub>CL1 or FKN) in the form of a peptide is effective in restoring synapses and hearing loss after noise-induced cochlear synaptopathy (NICS). Specifically, the efficacy of different isoforms of FKN was evaluated for restoration of loss of IHC ribbon synapses and hearing after NICS. A single transtympanic injection of soluble isoform of FKN (sFKN) peptide at 1 day after synaptopathic noise trauma for 2 hours at 93 decibel sound pressure level led to significant recovery of auditory brainstem response (ABR) thresholds, ABR peak I amplitudes and ribbon synapses in FKN knockout mice when compared to mice injected with membrane-bound FKN peptide (mFKN). Likewise, local treatment with sFKN peptide in FKN wild type mice restored synaptopathic noise-damaged ribbon synapses and ABR peak I amplitudes. Mechanistically, FKN regulates macrophage numbers in the damaged cochlea and in the absence of macrophages, sFKN failed to restore loss of synapses and hearing after NICS. Furthermore, sFKN treatment attenuated cochlear inflammation after NICS without altering the expression of CX<sub>3</sub>CR1. Finally, injected sFKN peptide was detectable inside the cochlea for 24 h localized to the basilar membrane and spiral lamina near the sensory epithelium. These data provide a proof-of-principle that local delivery of an immune factor, sFKN is effective in restoring ribbon synapses and hearing loss after NICS in a macrophage-dependent manner and highlights the potential of sFKN as an immunotherapy for cochlear synaptopathy due to noise.</p>","PeriodicalId":12432,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience","volume":"18 ","pages":"1486740"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11557324/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142617641","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
