Dysregulation of sonic hedgehog signaling causes hearing loss in ciliopathy mouse models
Intraflagellar transport 88
(
Ift88
),
Tbc1d32
(a.k.a.
bromi
), and
Cilk1
(a.k.a.
Ick
) mutants. These mutants showed multiple developmental defects including shortened cochlear duct and abnormal apical patterning of the organ of Corti. Although ciliogenic defects in cochlear hair cells such as misalignment of the kinocilium are often associated with the planar cell polarity pathway, our results showed that inner ear defects in these mutants are primarily due to loss of sonic hedgehog signaling. Furthermore, an inner ear-specific deletion of
Cilk1
elicits low-frequency hearing loss attributable to cellular changes in apical cochlear identity that is dedicated to low-frequency sound detection. This type of hearing loss may account for hearing deficits in some patients with ciliopathies.
