Biallelic variants of SEMA3F are associated with nonsyndromic hearing loss
It is crucial to manage hearing loss and its associated public health impacts. In this study, we aimed to understand the role of Sema3f in the development and maintenance of the auditory system. Inner ear-specific Sema3f knockout mice exhibited hearing loss at 8 weeks with an elevated threshold for auditory brainstem response and an absent threshold for distortion product optoacoustic emission tests. Additionally, an increased number of outer hair cells and abnormal patterns of spiral ganglion neuron projections in the outer hair cell regions were observed. Through the analyses of sequencing data from 558 families with hearing loss, we identified biallelic variants of SEMA3F, which encodes semaphorin-3F, in one of the families. In the family, the proband showed profound progressive nonsyndromic hearing loss with congenital onset. In vitro analysis revealed that the identified missense variants decreased the furin-mediated processing of SEMA3F and abolished the cellular abilities of SEMA3F, which collapsed the filamentous actin cytoskeleton in human umbilical vein-derived endothelial cells. Our data suggest that SEMA3F is essential for normal hearing and is associated with nonsyndromic hearing loss in humans.
期刊介绍:
Molecules and Cells is an international on-line open-access journal devoted to the advancement and dissemination of fundamental knowledge in molecular and cellular biology. It was launched in 1990 and ISO abbreviation is "Mol. Cells". Reports on a broad range of topics of general interest to molecular and cell biologists are published. It is published on the last day of each month by the Korean Society for Molecular and Cellular Biology.
