Method for regulating proliferation and differentiation of inner ear stem cells by using Rassf2 and application of Rassf2 in hair cell regeneration

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of inner ear stem cells, in particular to a method for regulating proliferation and differentiation of inner ear stem cells through Rassf2 and application of Rassf2 in hair cell regeneration. The regulation and control method comprises the following steps: 1, detecting expression conditions of Shh or Hippo and Rassf2 in cochlea in a wild type mouse; 2, studying the effect of Shh or Hippo and Rassf2 on proliferation and differentiation of the inner ear stem cells which are separated in a flow mode in an in-vitro experiment; 3, researching the effects of Shh or Hippo and Rassf2 on a living hair cell neomycin injury model. By using the Lgr5-EGFP-CreERT2 tool mouse, the separation of the inner ear stem cells (Lgr5 positive cells) is accurate and a large amount of the inner ear stem cells (Lgr5 positive cells) can be realized, and a relatively good research premise can be achieved: the Lgr5 positive inner ear stem cells of the mouse are sorted. Besides, after the separated inner ear stem cells are subjected to balling and differentiation experiments by researching Shh, Hippo and Rassf2 in an in-vitro experiment, the specific action mechanism of Shh, Hippo and Rassf2 in regulation and control of proliferation and differentiation of the inner ear stem cells and hair cell regeneration can be deeply explored.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of inner ear stem cells, in particular to a method for regulating the proliferation and differentiation of inner ear stem cells by Rassf2 and its application in hair cell regeneration. Background technique [0002] Hearing is one of the most important perceptions of human beings and the basis of language communication. As the basis of language recognition and understanding, auditory perception plays an important role in human social activities. Due to the rapid development of social economy and industrialization, the increasing aging of the population, the abuse of ototoxic drugs and environmental pollution factors such as noise, the number of people suffering from different degrees of ear diseases is increasing year by year. According to WHO statistics in 2019, about 5% of the world's population, or 466 million people, suffer from disabling hearing loss, of which 34 million are children. [0003] Hearing loss and d...
