Nestin-expressing cells are mitotically active in the mammalian inner ear
Nestin expression is associated with pluripotency. Growing evidence suggests nestin is involved in hair cell development. The objective of this study was to investigate the morphology and role of nestin-expressing cells residing in the early postnatal murine inner ear. A lineage-tracing nestin reporter mouse line was used to further characterize these cells. Their cochleae and vestibular organs were immunostained and whole-mounted for cell counting. We found Nestin-expressing cells present in low numbers throughout the inner ear. Three morphotypes were observed: bipolar, unipolar, and globular. Mitotic activity was noted in nestin-expressing cells in the cochlea, utricle, saccule, and crista. Nestin-expressing cell characteristics were then observed after hair cell ablation in two mouse models. First, a reporter model demonstrated nestin expression in a significantly higher proportion of hair cells after hair cell ablation than in control cochleae. However, in a lineage tracing nestin reporter mouse, none of the new hair cells which repopulated the organ of Corti after hair cell ablation expressed nestin, nor did the nestin-expressing cells change in morphotype. In conclusion, Nestin-expressing cells were identified in the cochlea and vestibular organs. After hair cell ablation, nestin-expressing cells did not react to the insult. However, a small number of nestin-expressing cells in all inner ear tissues exhibited mitotic activity, supporting progenitor cell potential, though perhaps not involved in hair cell regeneration.
期刊介绍:
The aim of the journal is to provide a forum for papers concerned with basic peripheral and central auditory mechanisms. Emphasis is on experimental and clinical studies, but theoretical and methodological papers will also be considered. The journal publishes original research papers, review and mini- review articles, rapid communications, method/protocol and perspective articles.
Papers submitted should deal with auditory anatomy, physiology, psychophysics, imaging, modeling and behavioural studies in animals and humans, as well as hearing aids and cochlear implants. Papers dealing with the vestibular system are also considered for publication. Papers on comparative aspects of hearing and on effects of drugs and environmental contaminants on hearing function will also be considered. Clinical papers will be accepted when they contribute to the understanding of normal and pathological hearing functions.
