DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The blood-labyrinth barrier (BLB) in the stria vascularis of the cochlea maintains endocochlear potential, ion transport, and fluid balance in the inner ear. Disruption of the BLB has long been considered a major etiologic factor in a variety of hearing disorders, including autoimmune inner ear disease, Meniere's disease, meningitis-associated labyrinthitis, and several genetically-linked diseases. Despite the importance of the BLB, however, the mechanisms that control BLB permeability remain largely unknown. A recent study from our lab unexpectedly found a large number of perivascular resident macrophage (PVMs) in the BLB, in addition to endothelial cells (ECs), basement membrane, and surrounding pericytes. The PVMs are in close contact with vessels through cytoplastic processes-end-feet-which contain a large number of vesicles and transporters. We hypothesize the PVMs and ECs are physiologically coupled for control of water and ion movement in the stria vascularis. In this project, we ask if PVMs contribute to the integrity of th BLB. If so, do PVMs control BLB integrity by affecting expression of tight and adherens junction proteins? Is the control mediated by pigment epithelial-derived factor? To test the hypothesis, we established a new primary EC and PVM cell co-culture model which we will use in association with a transgenic mouse model. The transgenic mice encode a diphtheria toxin receptor providing a system for transient depletion of PVMs. In addressing PVM control of BLB integrity, the proposed work will significantly enhance our understanding of the BLB at the cellular and molecular level and may ultimately lead to innovative treatments for BLB dysfunction-related hearing loss. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Disruption of the blood-labyrinth barrier (BLB) has long been considered a major etiologic factor in a variety of hearing disorders; however, the mechanisms that control BLB permeability remain largely unknown. Development of new treatments for BLB-related hearing loss requires a better understanding of BLB physiology. The goal of this program is to advance our physiological understanding of the cochlear BLB and facilitate development of effective drug therapies for BLB dysfunction-related hearing loss.

描述（由申请人提供）：耳蜗血管纹中的血迷路屏障（BLB）维持内耳的耳蜗内电位、离子转运和液体平衡。长期以来，BLB的破坏一直被认为是多种听力疾病的主要病因，包括自身免疫性内耳疾病、梅尼埃病、脑膜炎相关迷路炎和几种遗传相关疾病。尽管BLB的重要性，然而，控制BLB渗透性的机制仍然在很大程度上未知。我们实验室最近的一项研究意外地发现，除了内皮细胞（EC），基底膜和周围周细胞外，BLB中还存在大量血管周围驻留巨噬细胞（PVM）。PVM通过细胞质过程与血管紧密接触-末端足-其中含有大量的囊泡和转运蛋白。我们假设PVM和EC在生理上是偶联的，用于控制血管纹中的水和离子运动。在这个项目中，我们问PVM是否有助于BLB的完整性。如果是这样，PVM是否通过影响紧密连接蛋白和粘附连接蛋白的表达来控制BLB的完整性？对照品是否由色素上皮衍生因子介导？为了验证这一假设，我们建立了一个新的原代EC和PVM细胞共培养模型，我们将使用与转基因小鼠模型。转基因小鼠编码白喉毒素受体，提供PVM瞬时耗竭系统。在解决BLB完整性的PVM控制方面，拟议的工作将显着增强我们在细胞和分子水平上对BLB的理解，并可能最终导致BLB功能障碍相关听力损失的创新治疗。 公共卫生关系：长期以来，血迷路屏障（BLB）的破坏一直被认为是各种听力障碍的主要病因;然而，控制BLB通透性的机制在很大程度上仍然未知。开发BLB相关听力损失的新治疗方法需要更好地了解BLB生理学。该计划的目标是促进我们对耳蜗BLB的生理学理解，并促进BLB功能障碍相关听力损失的有效药物治疗的发展。
