Haploinsufficiency of the ATP6V1B2, a subunit of V-ATPases, underlies genetic disorders including Dominant deafness-onychodystrophy (DDOD), deafness, onychodystrophy, osteodystrophy, mental retardation and seizures (DOORS), and Zimmermann-Laband syndromes, all characterized by congenital hearing loss and onychodystrophy. Effective therapies for ATP6V1B2-associated hearing loss remain elusive. The study generates a hair cell-specific knockout mouse (Atp6v1b2;Atoh1) recapitulating the human phenotypes, with pathological features including hair cell loss and abnormal lysosomal morphology and function. To enhance therapeutic precision and minimize toxicity, an optimized adeno-associated virus-inner ear vector incorporating promoter enhancer 3 (AAV-ie-Eh3) is engineered. A single administration of AAV-ie-Eh3-mAtp6v1b2 into the scala media at postnatal days 0-2, prevented hair cell degeneration, restored lysosome morphology, and robustly rescued auditory and vestibular function for at least 24 weeks. The findings highlight the critical role of Atp6v1b2 in lysosomal function and demonstrate AAV-ie-Eh3 as a potent gene delivery tool for inner ear therapy. This study establishes a novel therapeutic paradigm for ATP6V1B2-associated hearing loss and vestibular dysfunction, with significant clinical potential.
V-ATP酶的一个亚基ATP6V1B2单倍体不足是包括显性耳聋-甲营养不良(DDOD)、耳聋、甲营养不良、骨营养不良、智力迟钝和癫痫(DOORS)以及齐默尔曼-拉班德综合征等遗传性疾病的基础,所有这些疾病的特征都是先天性听力丧失和甲营养不良。针对ATP6V1B2相关听力损失的有效治疗方法仍然难以捉摸。该研究产生了一种模拟人类表型的毛细胞特异性敲除小鼠(Atp6v1b2;Atoh1),其病理特征包括毛细胞丢失以及溶酶体形态和功能异常。为了提高治疗的精准性并将毒性降至最低,设计了一种整合启动子增强子3的优化腺相关病毒-内耳载体(AAV-ie-Eh3)。在出生后0-2天向鼓阶单次注射AAV-ie-Eh3-mAtp6v1b2,可防止毛细胞退化,恢复溶酶体形态,并在至少24周内有力地挽救听觉和前庭功能。这些发现突出了Atp6v1b2在溶酶体功能中的关键作用,并证明AAV-ie-Eh3是一种用于内耳治疗的有效基因传递工具。这项研究为ATP6V1B2相关听力损失和前庭功能障碍建立了一种新的治疗模式,具有重大的临床潜力。
