Schematic model of mito-Ca2+ in developing and mature hair cells.
(A) In developing hair cells, spontaneous presynaptic-Ca2+ influx is linked to mito-Ca2+ uptake. Together these Ca2+ signals function to regulate ribbon size during ribbon formation. When the CaV1.3 or MCU channels are blocked, ribbon formation is increased leading to larger ribbons. These Ca2+ signals regulate ribbon formation via NAD(H) redox. MCU block lowers mito-Ca2+, increases the NAD+/NADH ratio and promotes ribbon formation. (B) In mature hair cells, evoked presynaptic-Ca2+ influx is linked to mito-Ca2+ uptake. When the MCU is partially blocked there is a reduction in presynaptic-Ca2+ influx. When the MCU is completely blocked there are synaptopathic consequences; ribbons are enlarged and synapses are lost.
