Abstrakt: Gene therapy has made significant progress in the treatment of hereditary hearing loss. However, most research has focused on deafness-related genes that are primarily expressed in hair cells with less attention given to multisite-expressed deafness genes. MPZL2, the second leading cause of mild-to-moderate hereditary deafness, is widely expressed in different inner ear cells. We generated a mouse model with a deletion in the Mpzl2 gene, which displayed moderate and slowly progressive hearing loss, mimicking the phenotype of individuals with DFNB111. We developed a gene replacement therapy system mediated by AAV-ie for efficient transduction in various types of cochlear cells. AAV-ie-Mpzl2 administration significantly lowered the auditory brainstem response and distortion product otoacoustic emission thresholds of Mpzl2 -/- mice for at least seven months. AAV-ie-Mpzl2 delivery restored the structural integrity in both outer hair cells and Deiters cells. This study suggests the potential of gene therapy for MPZL2-related deafness and provides a proof of concept for gene therapy targeting other deafness-related genes that are expressed in different cell populations in the cochlea.
