Figure 1 Schematic Illustration of the Mammalian Inner Ear (A) The ear is composed of the external, middle, and inner ear. The cochlea, responsible for hearing, and the vestibule, responsible for balance, make up the inner ear. (B) A cross-section of the cochlear duct reveals the scala media, scala tympani and scala vestibuli that are filled with fluids, as well as the tectorial membrane (TM) over the organ of Corti. (C) An enlargement of the organ of Corti, the cochlear sensory epithelium, showing three rows of OHCs and one row of IHCs, flanked by various types of supporting cells. (D) The hair bundle of an OHC showing the actin-based stereocilia organized in a staircase pattern. (E) Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image showing the hair bundle of an OHC of a mouse, analogous to the scheme in (D) (our unpublished data). (F) Immunofluorescence confocal images of IHCs and OHCs of a mouse, with expression of myosin VI (red) in the cytoplasm and the nucleus marked by DAPI (blue), analogous to the scheme in (C) (our unpublished data).

Figure 2 The Chromosomal Location of Genes with Mutations Causing Hearing Impairment The genes are classified as nonsyndromic autosomal recessive (red), nonsyndromic autosomal dominant (blue), x-linked (black), syndromic (green), and genes that are associated with both syndromic and nonsyndromic hearing loss (light blue). Data was taken from the Hereditary Hearing Loss Homepage. Neuron 2010 68, 293-308DOI: (10.1016/j.neuron.2010.10.011) Copyright © 2010 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions

Figure 3 Schematic Illustration of Components of Hearing Mechanisms, Highlighting Genes Underlying Hearing Loss in Humans and Mice (A) To support the unique endolymphatic fluid composition, a tight junctional barrier (dashed purple line) between epithelial cells of the scala media (endolymph) is established by different junctional complex proteins. This network of epithelia prevents leakage of the high potassium concentration that is constantly secreted into the endolymph by the (K+) recycling machinery. (B) At the lower part of the inner hair cell within the basal pole, a dense structure of ribbon synapse is tethered by a pool of synaptic vesicles ready to be released. A mechanosensory hair bundle on the apical side of the cells responds to an acoustic stimulus that depolarizes the cell, triggering secretion of synaptic vesicles. (C) The cochlear hair cells are neighboring with supporting cells that establish a route for potassium ion propagation as part of its recycling machinery. Efflux of potassium outside the cell is supported by (K+) channels and is crucial in order to bring the cell back to the excitatory condition. (D) The apical surface of the hair cells is immersed within the endolympahtic fluids and is thus sensitive to its mechanical movements that are evoked by sound. Deflection of the hair bundle stretches tip links between stereocilia and triggers the opening of the MET channels, followed by influx of potassium ions that depolarize the cells. The tight junction barrier between hair cells and supporting cells prevents ion leakage from the K+ rich endolymph and maintains selective paracellular transport. (E) The tip links between actin-rich stereocilia are assembled with two adhering proteins. Other lateral links between sterocilia are essential for the cohesion and stability of the hair bundle. (F) The stria vasularis, located at the lateral wall of the scala media, is essential for the secretion of (K+) into the endolymph and for maintaining its associated endocochlear potential. The stria marginal and intermediate cells are rich with transporters and channels that support and maintain the homeostasis of the endolymph. (G) The tectorial membrane (TM) is an auxiliary structure composed of extracellular matrix and contributes to hair cell excitation. Its integrity is highly depended on the temporal and spatial secretion of it associated proteins. Adapted from Dror and Avraham (2009).

Figure 4 A Sampling of Expression in the Inner Ear and Morphological Defects in Deaf Mouse Mutants (A) RNA in situ hybridization of microRNA-182 shows strong expression in the inner and outer hair cells of the cochlea (left panel), as well as in vestibular hair cells in the sensory epithelium of the crista (right panel). microRNA-182 is also expressed in the spiral ganglia of the cochlea (our unpublished data). (B) A Dicer-PCKO mouse at p38, lacking microRNAs in the hair cells, has rounded hair bundles as opposed to the V-shape hair bundle of a wild-type mouse that shows an organized staircase structure of sterocilia, demonstrated by SEM (Friedman et al., 2009). (C) Pendrin defects in the Slc26a4loop mutant leads to hydrops of the endolympahtic labyrinth, demonstrated by paint filled inner ears. A prominent bulged cochlea (co) and endolymphatic sac (es) and duct is observed in the mutant (our unpublished data). (D) Impaired transport activity of pendrin in the Slc26a4loop mutant leads to formation of giant calcium oxalate mineralized bodies in the inner ear (Dror et al., 2010). (E) Snell's waltzer (svMyo6) mice are null for the myosin VI protein and their cochleas lacks the normal cohesion and polarity of hair bundles, along with inconsistent direction of sterocilia protrusions (our unpublished data). (F) The Usher syndrome III mouse model (USH3A) depleted of Clrn1 shows severely disorganized hair bundles of inner hair cells with fused actin stereocilia (red) and altered size and shape of cuticular plate, detected by immunostaining against myosin VI (green) (our unpublished data). Scale bars: In (A), 50 μm; in (B), 2 μm; in (C), 1 mm; in (D), 2 μm, 100 μm; in (E), 5 μm; (F), 2 μm. Neuron 2010 68, 293-308DOI: (10.1016/j.neuron.2010.10.011) Copyright © 2010 Elsevier Inc.
