RNA-seq analysis of gene expression profiles in isolated stria vascularis from wild-type and Alport mice reveals key pathways underling Alport strial pathogenesis

Abstract: Previous work demonstrates that the hearing loss in Alport mice is caused by defects in the stria vascularis. As the animals age, progressive thickening of strial capillary basement membranes (SCBMs) occurs associated with elevated levels of extracellular matrix expression and hypoxia-related gene and protein expression. These conditions render the animals susceptible to noise-induced hearing loss. In an effort to develop a more comprehensive understanding of how the underlying mutation in the COL4A3 gene infl… Show more

“…The first dataset is the result of work on the comparison of gene expression between Alport mice and wild mice [ 23 ]. Data (SRR11206238 and SRR11206239) were converted into mRNA counts using STAR and FeatureCounts on Galaxy [ 24 ].…”

“…DEGs were detected using EdgeR after application of different filters and annotated by DAVID as above. The criterion for DEGs was relaxed to |log2(FoldChange)|>1 to match the number of genes reported by the authors in Tables 1 , 2 , 3 and 4 [ 23 ] when using raw data (Table 2 , gene lists are at the project home page on GitHub).…”

“…Notably, the COL4A4-knockout mouse has been used to demonstrate that SV function is impaired in the Alport syndrome model (Cosgrove et al, 1996). Specifically, SV capillary permeability is reduced in 8.5-week-old COL4A4 knockout mice when compared to age matched wild-type mice (demonstrated using intracardially injected Rhodamine dye and fluorescence spectrometry) (Dufek et al, 2020). In addition, RNA sequencing showed higher expression of inflammatory genes, such as nuclear factor kappa B inhibitor alpha (NFKBIA), in the SV of COL4A4 knockout mice when compared to wildtype controls.…”

“…In addition, RNA sequencing showed higher expression of inflammatory genes, such as nuclear factor kappa B inhibitor alpha (NFKBIA), in the SV of COL4A4 knockout mice when compared to wildtype controls. This would suggest that the host's inflammatory response damages the SV in those with Alport syndrome (Dufek et al, 2020). It remains to be seen what is causing this inflammation in the Alport syndromeaffected SV.…”
