Genetic basis of neurotransmission in the zebrafish posterior-lateral line.

(A) Cartoon drawing of 5 dpf zebrafish larva with the posterior lateral line (LL) highlighted. The LL is made up of clusters of hair cell clusters called neuromasts (green dots). Neuromasts are innervated by neurons that project from the posterior LL ganglion (pLLg). (B–C) Side view (B) and top-down view (C) of neuromast from Tg[myo6b:memGCaMP6s]idc1 fish where the hair-cell membrane is labeled. White dotted line demarcates a single hair cell in each image. (D-D’) Cartoon schematic of a side view of a hair cell. At the apex is the mechanosensory hair bundle. The primary pathway of entry of neomycin, gentamicin, and FM 4–64 is through mechanotransduction channels in the mechanosensory hair bundle. At the base of the hair cell is the ribbon synapse. The presynapse or ribbon (magenta) is surrounded by synaptic vesicles (SV, white circles). When mechanotransduction channels are activated, an influx of cations including calcium enters the hair bundle. Hair bundle activation leads to opening of Cav1.3 voltage-gated calcium channels (blue) and presynaptic calcium influx. The calcium sensor Otoferlin (orange) facilitates fusion by coupling calcium influx with the exocytosis of SVs and the release of glutamate onto the innervating postsynaptic afferent terminal (gray). (E-E’) The spatial patterns of the evoked calcium influx (GCaMP6s ΔF, indicated via the heatmaps) into sibling hair bundles (E’) compared to prestimulus (C). (F-F’) Average traces (F) and dot plots show that the average magnitude of apical (F’) ΔF/F GCaMP6s signals in mechanosensory hair bundles is not different in cav1.3a-/- and otofb-/- mutants compared to siblings. (G-G’) The spatial patterns of the evoked calcium influx (GCaMP6s ΔF, indicated via the heatmaps) at wildtype presynapses (G’) compared to prestimulus (G). (H-H’) Average traces (H) and dot plots show that the average magnitude of presynaptic (H’) ΔF/F GCaMP6s signals is absent in cav1.3a-/- but unaltered in otofb-/- mutants compared to siblings. (I-I’) The spatial patterns of evoked exocytosis (SypHy ΔF, indicated via the heatmaps) at sibling presynapses (I’) compared to prestimulus (I). (J-J’) Averaged traces (J) and dot plots show that presynaptic (J’) ΔF/F SypHy signals are absent in cav1.3a-/- and in otofb-/- mutants. The fluid-jet stimulus depicted as a gray box in F, H, and J. Each point in the dot plots represents one neuromast. All measurements were performed in mature neuromasts at 5–6 dpf on 3 animals and 9 neuromasts per genotype. Error bars: SEM. A one-way AVOVA with a Dunnett’s correction for multiple tests was used in F’ and J’, and a Kruskal-Wallis test with a Dunn’s correction for multiple tests was used in H’. ** p<0.01, **** p<0.0001.

Spontaneous postsynaptic afferent activity is absent in cav1.3a mutant and otofb mutants.

(A–D) Hair cells in neuromasts of wildtype (A), otofa-/- (B), otofb-/- (C), and otofa-/-/otofb-/- mutants (D) immunostained for Otoferlin. Loss of Otofb is sufficient to eliminate Otoferlin in lateral line neuromasts (C). (E) Average dot plots of spontaneous afferent spikes per minute recorded from posterior lateral line ganglion cell bodies in cav1.3a-/- (blue) and otofb-/- (orange) mutants or siblings (black) show that spontaneous afferent activity in both mutants is essentially absent. (F) Representative example traces of 60 second loose-patch recordings of spontaneous afferent spiking activity in sibling, cav1.3a-/- and otofb-/- mutants. Each point in the dot plot in E represents a recording from one afferent neuron. A minimum of 6 animals at 5–6 dpf were examined per group. Error bars: SEM.

Further characterization of memGCaMP6s responses in cav1.3a and otofb mutants.

(A) Resting memGCaMP6s intensity in apical hair bundles trends higher in cav1.3a-/- mutants but is similar to controls in otofb-/- mutants. (B–D) In response to a 500 ms stimulus, the slope (B) and duration (C) of the GCaMP6s response are not different compared to sibling controls. When fitted with an exponential decay, on average, the half-life of the signal to reach baseline after the 500 ms stimulus is faster in cav1.3a-/- mutants but similar to controls in otofb-/- mutants (D). (E–H) In response to a 200 ms stimulus, the average magnitude of apical ΔF/F GCaMP6s signals in mechanosensory hair bundles is not different in cav1.3a-/- and otofb-/- mutants compared to siblings (E). The slope (F) and duration (G) of the GCaMP6s response are also no different compared to sibling controls. When fitted with an exponential decay, on average, the half-life of the signal to reach baseline after the 200 ms stimulus is faster in cav1.3a-/- mutants but similar to controls in otofb-/- mutants (D). (I) Resting memGCaMP6s intensity at the base or presynaptic region is lower in cav1.3a-/- mutants but similar to controls in otofb-/- mutants. (J–L) In response to a 500 ms stimulus, the slope (J), duration (L) and the half-life of the decay (L) are unchanged in otofb-/- mutants compared to controls. No caV1.3a mutant data is included in J-L due to lack of presynaptic responses. For GCaMP6s measurements 3 animals and 9 neuromasts were examined per genotype. A Kruskal-Wallis test with a Dunn’s correction for multiple comparisons was used in A, C, E, and G. A one-way ANOVA with a Dunnett’s correction for multiple comparisons was used in B, D, F, H-I. An unpaired t-test was used in J-K. A Mann-Whitney test was used in L. * p<0.05, ***p<0.001.

Chronic loss of neurotransmission protects hair cells from the ototoxin neomycin.

(A-A’) Hair cells in siblings before (A) and after a 30-min treatment with 75 µM neomycin (A’). GCaMP6s outlines hair cells. The presence of FM 4–64 in hair cells reveals surviving cells (A’). (B-C’) After a 30-min treatment with 75 µM neomycin GCaMP6s and FM 4–64 more surviving hair cells are found in cav1.3a-/- (B), and otofb-/- (C) mutants. (D–E) A higher percentage of CaV1.3- and Otof-deficient hair cells survive a 30 min treatment with three different neomycin concentrations (75, 100, and 200 µM) compared to sibling controls. For quantification in D-E, neuromasts were examined at 5 or 6 dpf immediately after washout of neomycin solution and application of FM 4–64. (F) Percentage of hair cells per neuromast surviving is not altered when hair cells in wildtype larvae are co-incubated with 0.1% DMSO (control), 10 µM isradipine, or 2.5 µM Dynole 34–2 during the 30-min 100 µM neomycin treatment. (G–H) When wildtype hair cells are incubated with 10 µM isradipine or 2.5 µM Dynole 34–2 for 24 hr (G, 4 to 5 dpf) or for 48 hr (H, 3 to 5 dpf) prior to neomycin treatment significantly more hair cells survive compared to DMSO controls. Each point in the dot plots in D-H represents one neuromast. A minimum of five animals were examined per treatment group. Error bars: SEM. For comparisons, a two-way ANOVA with a Sidak’s correction for multiple comparisons was used in D-E. A one-way AVOVA with a Dunnett’s correction for multiple comparisons was used in F, G and H. * p<0.05, ** p<0.01, *** p<0.001. Scale bar = 5 µm.

These data show that Dynole 34–2 treatment does not affect calcium influx. (E–F) Average dot plots of spontaneous afferent spikes/min before (solid circles) and after (empty circles) a 10-min mock treatment in 0.1% DMSO (E) or a 10 min incubation in 2.5 µM Dynole 34–2 (F). These plots show that Dynole 34–2 significantly reduces afferent spiking activity in spikes/min. Each point in the dot plots represents one neuromast (A–D) or one afferent neuron (E–F). A minimum of four animals and eight neuromasts were examined in A-D at 5 dpf. Twelve animals were examined in C-D at 5–6 dpf. Error bars: SEM.

Hair cell development and turnover are largely normal in cav1.3a and otofb mutants.

(A) Overview of procedure to label hair cells and monitor development and turnover overtime. (B, E) At both 3 and 5 dpf, caV1.3a-/- and otofb-/- mutants have the same number of hair cells per neuromast. A hair cell is defined as any hair cell with DAPI labeling. (C, F) Using the average height of the kinocilium (tallest part of the hair bundle) to assess the maturity of hair cells reveals no difference in caV1.3a-/- and otofb-/- mutants compared to controls. In mature neuromasts at 5 dpf, quantification reveals that the average height of the kinocilium in all hair cells, young hair cells and mature hair cells is not significantly different in caV1.3a-/- and otofb-/- mutants compared to controls. (D, G) After labeling mature hair cells with DAPI at 3 dpf, a high percentage of these DAPI + cells remain at 5 dpf in all genotypes. This indicates no significant loss of hair cells in caV1.3a-/- and otofb-/- mutants compared to controls. 8 neuromasts were examined per genotype in B-C and E-F. In D and G at least 11 neuromast were examined per genotype. Each dot in B, D, E, and G represents one neuromast. In C and F, each dot represents a single hair cell. Error bars: SEM. In D and G, a Mann-Whitney test was used, and in B-C and E-F a two-way ANOVA with a Sidak’s correction for multiple comparisons was used to compare differences.
