    Abstract Sensory hair cells of the inner ear are exposed to continuous mechanical stress, causing damage over time. The maintenance of hair cells is further challenged by damage from a variety of other ototoxic factors, including loud noise, aging, genetic defects, and ototoxic drugs. This damage can manifest in many forms, from dysfunction of the hair cell mechanotransduction complex to loss of specialized ribbon synapses, and may even result in hair cell death. Given that mammalian hair cells do not regenerate, the repair of hair cell damage is important for continued auditory function throughout life. Here, we discuss how several key hair cell structures can be damaged, and what is known about how they are repaired.

    Abstract The MRTF–SRF pathway has been extensively studied for its crucial role in driving the expression of a large number of genes involved in actin cytoskeleton of various cell types. However, the specific contribution of MRTF–SRF in hair cells remains unknown. In this study, we showed that hair cell-specific deletion of Srf or Mrtfb, but not Mrtfa, leads to similar defects in the development of stereocilia dimensions and the maintenance of cuticular plate integrity. We used fluorescence-activated cell sorting-based hair cell RNA-Seq analysis to investigate the mechanistic underpinnings of the changes observed in Srf and Mrtfb mutants, respectively. Interestingly, the transcriptome analysis revealed distinct profiles of genes regulated by Srf and Mrtfb, suggesting different transcriptional regulation mechanisms of actin cytoskeleton activities mediated by Srf and Mrtfb. Exogenous delivery of calponin 2 using Adeno-associated virus transduction in Srf mutants partially rescued the impairments of stereocilia dimensions and the F-actin intensity of cuticular plate, suggesting the involvement of Cnn2, as an Srf downstream target, in regulating the hair bundle morphology and cuticular plate actin cytoskeleton organization. Our study uncovers, for the first time, the unexpected differential transcriptional regulation of actin cytoskeleton mediated by Srf and Mrtfb in hair cells, and also demonstrates the critical role of SRF–CNN2 in modulating actin dynamics of the stereocilia and cuticular plate, providing new insights into the molecular mechanism underlying hair cell development and maintenance.

    Abstract Purpose: To examine the diagnostic performance for the longitudinal extent of extrahepatic bile duct (EHD) cancer on computed tomography (CT) after biliary drainage (BD) and investigate the appropriate timing of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) acquisition.
    Methods: This retrospective study included patients who underwent curative-intent surgery for EHD cancer and CT pre- and post-BD between November 2005 and June 2021. The biliary segment-wise longitudinal tumor extent was evaluated according to the 2019 Korean Society of Abdominal Radiology consensus recommendations, with pre-BD CT, post-BD CT, and both pre- and post-BD CT. The performance for tumor detectability was compared using GEEs. When preoperative MRI was performed, patients were divided into two subgroups according to the timing of MRI with respect to BD, and the performance of MRI obtained pre- and post-BD was compared.
    Results: In 105 patients (mean age: 67 ± 8 years; 74 men and 31 women), the performance for tumor detectability was superior using both CT scans compared with using post-BD CT alone (reader 1: sensitivity, 72.6% vs. 64.6%,
    Conclusion: Pre-BD CT provided better diagnostic performance in the preoperative evaluation of EHD cancer. The longitudinal tumor extent could be accurately assessed with post-BD MRI, which was similar to pre-BD MRI.
    Clinical significance: The acquisition of pre-BD CT could be beneficial for the preoperative evaluation of EHD cancer when BD is planned. Post-BD MRI would not be significantly affected by BD in terms of the diagnostic performance of the longitudinal tumor extent.

    Abstract Depression is a prevalent psychological condition with limited treatment options. While its etiology is multifactorial, both chronic stress and changes in microbiome composition are associated with disease pathology. Stress is known to induce microbiome dysbiosis, defined here as a change in microbial composition associated with a pathological condition. This state of dysbiosis is known to feedback on depressive symptoms. While studies have demonstrated that targeted restoration of the microbiome can alleviate depressive-like symptoms in mice, translating these findings to human patients has proven challenging due to the complexity of the human microbiome. As such, there is an urgent need to identify factors upstream of microbial dysbiosis. Here we investigate the role of mucin 13 as an upstream mediator of microbiome composition changes in the context of stress. Using a model of chronic stress, we show that the glycocalyx protein, mucin 13, is selectively reduced after psychological stress exposure. We further demonstrate that the reduction of Muc13 is mediated by the Hnf4 transcription factor family. Finally, we determine that deleting Muc13 is sufficient to drive microbiome shifts and despair behaviors. These findings shed light on the mechanisms behind stress-induced microbial changes and reveal a novel regulator of mucin 13 expression.

    Abstract Prolonged exposure to loud noise has been shown to affect inner ear sensory hair cells in a variety of deleterious manners, including damaging the stereocilia core. The damaged sites can be visualized as ‘gaps’ in phalloidin staining of F-actin, and the enrichment of monomeric actin at these sites, along with an actin nucleator and crosslinker, suggests that localized remodeling occurs to repair the broken filaments. Herein, we show that gaps in mouse auditory hair cells are largely repaired within 1 week of traumatic noise exposure through the incorporation of newly synthesized actin. We provide evidence that Xin actin binding repeat containing 2 (XIRP2) is required for the repair process and facilitates the enrichment of monomeric γ-actin at gaps. Recruitment of XIRP2 to stereocilia gaps and stress fiber strain sites in fibroblasts is force-dependent, mediated by a novel mechanosensor domain located in the C-terminus of XIRP2. Our study describes a novel process by which hair cells can recover from sublethal hair bundle damage and which may contribute to recovery from temporary hearing threshold shifts and the prevention of age-related hearing loss.

    Abstract The parasite Cryptosporidium invades and replicates in intestinal epithelial cells and is a leading cause of diarrheal disease and early childhood mortality. The molecular mechanisms that underlie infection and pathogenesis are largely unknown. Here, we delineate the events of host cell invasion and uncover a mechanism unique to Cryptosporidium. We developed a screen to identify parasite effectors, finding the injection of multiple parasite proteins into the host from the rhoptry organelle. These factors are targeted to diverse locations within the host cell and its interface with the parasite. One identified effector, rhoptry protein 1 (ROP1), accumulates in the terminal web of enterocytes through direct interaction with the host protein LIM domain only 7 (LMO7) an organizer of epithelial cell polarity and cell-cell adhesion. Genetic ablation of LMO7 or ROP1 in mice or parasites, respectively, impacts parasite burden in vivo in opposite ways. Taken together, these data provide molecular insight into how Cryptosporidium manipulates its intestinal host niche.

    Abstract Abstract Current treatments for major depressive disorder are limited to neuropharmacological approaches and are ineffective for large numbers of patients. Recently, alternative means have been explored to understand the etiology of depression. Specifically, changes in the microbiome and immune system have been observed in both clinical settings and in mouse models. As such, microbial supplements and probiotics have become a target for potential therapeutics. A current hypothesis for the mechanism of action of these supplements is via the aryl hydrocarbon receptor’s (Ahr) modulation of the T helper 17 cell (Th17) and T regulatory cell axis. As inflammatory RORγt + CD4 + Th17 T cells and their primary cytokine IL-17 have been implicated in the development of stress-induced depression, the connection between stress, the Ahr, Th17s and depression remains critical to understanding mood disorders. Here, we utilize genetic knockouts to examine the role of the microbial sensor Ahr in the development of stressinduced despair behavior. We observe an Ahr-independent increase in gut-associated Th17s in stressed mice, indicating that the Ahr is not responsible for this communication. Further, we utilized a CD4-specific RAR Related Orphan Receptor C (Rorc) knockout line to disrupt the production of Th17s. Mice lacking Rorc-produced IL-17 did not show any differences in behavior before or after stress when compared to controls. Finally, we utilize an unsupervised machine learning system to examine minute differences in behavior that could not be observed by traditional behavioral assays. Our data demonstrate that neither CD4 specific Ahr nor Rorc are necessary for the development of stress-induced anxiety- or depressive-like behaviors. These data suggest that research approaches should focus on other sources or sites of IL-17 production in stress-induced depression.
