1 Cochlear anatomy, function and pathology I Professor Dave Furness Keele University d.n.furness@keele.ac.uk
2 Aims and objectives of these lectures Introduction to gross anatomy of the cochlea Focus (1) on the sensory epithelium: Hair cells and the organ of Corti The mechanism of mechanoelectrical transduction
3 Aims and objectives of these lectures Focus (2) on the biophysics of the cochlea, the dual roles of hair cells and their innervation: Cochlear frequency selectivity The cochlear amplifier Neurotransmission and innervation of the hair cells Spiral ganglion and the structure of the auditory nerve
4 Aims and objectives of these lectures Focus (3) on the cochlear lateral wall and Reissner s membrane: The spiral ligament The stria vascularis The endolymphatic potential and potassium recycling Reissner s membrane
5 Aims and objectives of these lectures Focus (4) on cochlear pathology: Presbyacusis Ototoxicity Noise trauma Genetic hearing loss Molecular mechanisms of cell loss Regeneration and repair
6 Inner ear From Bear, Connors and Paradiso, Neuroscience: exploring the brain (Lippincott Williams and Wilkins)
7 Cochlea The main functions of the cochlea are to analyse and convert the vibrations caused by sound into a pattern of electrical signals that can be conveyed along the auditory nerve fibres to the brain This process involves three main steps: sensory transduction processing of the signal neurotransmission

12 Fluid segregation The three chambers contain different fluids Endolymph, high in potassium, in scala media Perilymph, high in sodium, in scala vestibuli and scala tympani
13 The cochlea is a frequency Increasing mass Low frequencies analyser Basilar membrane and organ of Corti High frequencies Increasing stiffness cochlear nerve
14 Frequency mapping on the basilar membrane Discovered by Georg von Békésy who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine, 1961 Used human cadavers and played sounds to them, whilst observing the motion of the basilar membrane Measured the travelling wave and noted peaks of tuning However, the peaks were not sharp enough to account for human frequency selectivity Active physiological mechanisms are also required
15 Frequency analysis in the cochlea Sound sets up a travelling wave along the basilar membrane The peak of motion determines the frequency selectivity (tuning) of the cochlea at that point The peak moves further along as frequency gets lower

19 Organ of Corti Organ of Corti consists of a sensory epithelium with hair cells and supporting cells Stria vascularis tectorial membrane Nerve fibres From Furness and Hackney, Scott-Brown s Otorhinolaryngology: Head and Neck Surgery 7
20 The reticular lamina by scanning electron microscopy OHC IHC
21 The reticular lamina by scanning electron microscopy OHC IHC Supporting cells: inner pillar, outer pillar, Deiter s cell 1, Deiter s cell 2, Deiters cell 3.
22 Supporting cells are rich in actin and tubulin (cytoskeletal proteins) to provide mechanical support to the organ of Corti From Furness and Hackney, Scott-Brown s Otorhinolaryngology: Head and Neck Surgery 7
23 Supporting cells are rich in actin and tubulin (cytoskeletal proteins) to provide mechanical support to the organ of Corti From Furness and Hackney, Scott-Brown s Otorhinolaryngology: Head and Neck Surgery 7
24 Immunogold shows sorting of different actin isoforms in different organ of Corti cell types From Furness et al Hear Res Sep;207(1-2):22-34
25 Hair cells Auditory stimuli are received in the form of mechanical energy Hair cells are mechanosensory receptors of the inner ear and are found in the cochlear and vestibular epithelia They share common characteristics which underlie their sensitivity to mechanical stimuli
26 Hair cells in auditory epithelium Cochlea + organ of Corti Inner hair cells Outer hair cells
27 Comparing the inner and outer hair cells IHCs flask shaped; mitochondria dispersed; nucleus central OHCs cylindrical; mitochondria mostly lateral, nucleus basal
28 Hair cells in the organ of Corti Two types, structurally and functionally distinct A number of similarities and differences Bundle structure similar rows of stereocilia but different shapes Both can perform mechanoelectrical transduction Innervation differs between the two
29
30 Overview of bundle structure Stereocilia form precise rows They are coupled by various extracellular filaments From Hackney and Furness J Cell Sci 2013; 126(Pt 8):
31 The hair bundle is the hair cell s transducing element Composed of stereocilia linked together by extracellular filaments Contains many different proteins The core of the stereocilium is actin It also contains myosins and a variety of scaffolding and calcium modulating proteins Extracellular filaments composed of other proteins
32 Other important proteins required for transduction Transducer elements TMC1 (transmembrane channel 1) TMC2 (transmembrane channel 2) LHFPL5 (TMHS) (tetraspan membrane protein of hair cell stereocilia) Protocadherin 15 Cadherin 23 TMIE (transmembrane inner ear protein) Structural and regulatory components Harmonin Sans Whirlin Usherin Stereocilin EPS8, EPS8L2 PTPRQ VLGR1 Calmodulin PMCA2A (calcium ATPase)
33 Links The composition of links is becoming better understood Their distributions tend to follow a particular pattern
34 Hair bundles are the site of mechanoelectrical transduction Hair cells are sensitive to deflections of the hair bundle along the axis of sensitivity plus (excitation) 0 0 minus (inhibition)
35 Transduction occurs when the stereocilia are deflected positive negative
36 Cell electrical response Hair cell responses Moving stereocilia
37 The tip-links Excitatory deflections of stereocilia open transduction channels by means of a gating spring The spring is represented by the tip link
38 A model of mechanosensitivity A single tip link
39 Tip links and transduction channels From Hackney and Furness J Cell Sci 2013; 126(Pt 8): TMHS
40 Immunolocalization of TMHS/LHFPL5 Actin (green), TMHS (red)
41 Hair-cell transduction and neurotransmission +80 mv stimulus -70 mv response
42 Glutamate transporters around IHCs but not OHCs confirm glutamatergic transmission Inner phalangeal cells around IHCs OHC area Fibrocytes
43 Summary In this lecture we have looked at the gross structural anatomy of the cochlea We have examined the organisation and function of the organ of Corti We have described and explained mechanoelectrical transduction how the hair cells detect mechanical stimulation
