The COCH gene mutated in DFNA9, an autosomal dominant hereditary sensorineural hearing loss and vestibular disorder, encodes Cochlin. Previously, we reported three bovine Cochlin isoforms, p63s, p44s, and p40s, which exhibit significant molecular heterogeneity in vivo. Here we have characterized Cochlin isoforms by generating four isoform-specific anti-Cochlin antibodies. The same three Cochlin isoforms, p63s, p44s, and p40s, were detected in human and cow inner ear tissue; however, p44s and p40s were not detected in perilymph. We identified a novel short 16kDa isoform in human perilymph and a 18-23kDa isoform in cow perilymph, named Cochlin-tomoprotein (CTP), corresponding to the N-terminus of full-length Cochlin (p63s) and the LCCL domain. Notably, CTP contains all of the known mutation sites associated with DFNA9. The pathogenesis of DFNA9 is not fully clarified as yet, and this novel perilymph-associated CTP isoform might provide mechanistic clues to how mutations in the COCH gene damage the inner ear function. 相似文献

Cochlin is colocalized with type II collagen in the extracellular matrix of cochlea and has been suggested to interact with this collagen. Here we show that the second von Willebrand type A domain of cochlin has affinity for type II collagen, as well as type I and type IV collagens whereas the LCCL-domain of cochlin has no affinity for these proteins. The implications of these findings for the mechanism whereby cochlin mutations cause the dominant negative DFNA9-type hearing loss are discussed.

Glaucoma is a very common disorder of the eye wherein the disturbance of the structural or functional integrity of the optic nerve causes characteristic atrophic changes in the optic nerve, which may lead to specific visual field defects over time. Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) is most frequent among the three principle glaucoma subtypes. With well-established role of genes like Myocilin (MYOC), Optineurin (OPTN) and WD repeat Domain 36, (WDR36), at least 29 genetic loci have been found till date to be linked to POAG. Moreover, association studies have found 66 loci with 76 genes associated to POAG till date with conflicting results. This particular study is to summarize the current knowledge regarding the change in glaucoma prevalence worldwide and in India from 1993 onwards and compiles all the studied genes that are involved in POAG pathogenesis in Indian population. 相似文献

Dominant progressive hearing loss and vestibular dysfunction DFNA9 is caused by mutations of the human COCH gene. COCH encodes cochlin, a highly abundant secreted protein of unknown function in the inner ear. Cochlin has an N-terminal LCCL domain followed by two vWA domains, and all known DFNA9 mutations are either missense substitutions or an amino acid deletion in the LCCL domain. Here, we have characterized the auditory phenotype associated with a genomic deletion of mouse Coch downstream of the LCCL domain. Homozygous Coch
−/− mice express no detectable cochlin in the inner ear. Auditory brainstem responses to click and pure-tone stimuli (8, 16, 32 kHz) were indistinguishable among wild type and homozygous Coch
−/− mice. A Coch-LacZΔneo reporter allele detected Coch mRNA expression in nonsensory epithelial and stromal regions of the cochlea and vestibular labyrinth. These data provide functional evidence that DFNA9 is probably not caused by COCH haploinsufficiency, but via a dominant negative or gain-of-function effect, in nonsensory regions of the inner ear.Tomoko Makishima, Clara I.
