Loss of hair cells from vestibular epithelium results in balance dysfunction. The current therapeutic regimen for vestibular diseases is limited. Upon injury or Atoh1 overexpression, hair cell replacement occurs rapidly in the mammalian utricle, suggesting a promising approach to induce vestibular hair cell regeneration. In this study, we applied simultaneous gentamicin-mediated hair cell ablation and Atoh1 overexpression to induce neonatal utricular hair cell formationin vitro. We confirmed that type I hair cells were the primary targets of gentamicin. Furthermore, injury and Atoh1 overexpression promoted hair cell regeneration in a timely and efficient manner through robust viral transfection. Hair cells regenerated with type II characteristics in the striola and type I/II characteristics in non-sensory regions. Rare EdU+/myosin7a+cells in sensory regions and robust EdU+/myosin7a+signals in ectopic regions indicate that transdifferentiation of supporting cellsin situ, and mitosis and differentiation of non-sensory epithelial cells in ectopic regions, are sources of regenerative hair cells. Distinct regeneration patterns inin situand ectopic regions suggested robust plasticity of vestibular non-sensory epithelium, generating more developed hair cell subtypes and thus providing a promising stem cell-like source of hair cells. These findings suggest that simultaneously causing injury and overexpressing Atoh1 promotes hair cell regeneration efficacy and maturity, thus expanding the understanding of ectopic plasticity in neonatal vestibular organs.
