Hair cells (HCs) in mammals cannot spontaneously regenerate after damage. Atoh1 overexpression can promote HC regeneration in the postnatal cochlea, but the regenerated HCs do not possess the structural and functional characteristics of HCs in situ. The stereocilia on the apical surface of HCs are the first‐level structure for sound conduction, and regeneration of functional stereocilia is the key basis for the reproduction of functional HCs. Espin, as an actin bundling protein, plays an important role in the development and structural maintenance of the stereocilia. Here, we found that the upregulation of Espin by AAV‐ie was able to induced the aggregation of actin fibres in Atoh1‐induced HCs in both cochlear organoids and explants. In addition, we found that persistent Atoh1 overexpression resulted in impaired stereocilia in both endogenous and newly formed HCs. In contrast, the forced expression of Espin in endogenous and regenerative HCs was able to eliminate the stereocilia damage caused by persistent Atoh1 overexpression. Our study shows that the enhanced expression of Espin can optimize the developmental process of stereocilia in Atoh1‐induced HCs and can attenuate the damage to native HCs induced by Atoh1 overexpression. These results suggest an effective method to induce the maturation of stereocilia in regenerative HCs and pave the way for functional HC regeneration via supporting cell transdifferentiation. Persistent Atoh1 overexpression results in impaired stereocilia in both endogenous and regenerative hair cells (HCs). The enhanced expression of Espin optimizes the developmental process of stereocilia in Atoh1‐induced HCs. The upregulation of Espin attenuates the damage to stereocilia caused by Atoh1 overexpression.
