Journal: bioRxiv
doi: 10.1101/2023.11.08.566316

Figure Legend Snippet: ( A ) UMAP plot of ∼18,000 cochlear cells from P28 mice organized into 19 cell-type clusters. Abbreviations: Inner Hair Cells (IHCs), Outer Hair Cells (OHCs), Hemoglobin-positive cells (HB+), Inner Sulcus/ Outer Sulcus (IS/OS), Reissner’s Membrane (RM), Spiral Ganglion Neurons (SGNs), Tympanic Boarder Cells (TBCs).

( C ) Violin plots showing median gene expression from (B) across cell-type clusters.
Techniques Used: Membrane, Expressing

Figure Legend Snippet: Cisplatin or noise exposure leads to phosphorylation and activation of BRAF at S445. KSR1, a scaffolding protein which binds MEK and ERK in the cytoplasm, then dimerizes with activated BRAF on the plasma membrane to colocalize all three kinases. BRAF then phosphorylates and activates MEK1/2 at S217/221, and MEK phosphorylates and activates ERK1/2 at T202/Y204 which leads to permanent hearing loss. In the present study, we demonstrate disruption of the MAPK pathway, by inhibition of BRAF with dabrafenib or genetic KO of KSR1, significantly reduces hearing loss caused by cisplatin or noise exposure
Techniques Used: Activation Assay, Scaffolding, Membrane, Disruption, Inhibition
