Notes

  • The zebrafish lateral line is a frequently used model to study the mechanisms behind peripheral neuronal innervation of sensory organs and the regeneration thereof. The lateral line system consists of neuromasts, a cluster of protruding hair cells, which are innervated by sensory afferent and modulatory efferent neurons. These flow-sensing hair cells are similar to the hair cells in the mammalian ear. Though, while hair cell loss in humans is irreversible, the zebrafish neuromasts are regarded as the fastest regenerating structure in vertebrates, making them an ideal model to study regeneration. However, one component of the lateral line system, the efferent projections, has largely been omitted in regenerative studies. Here, for the first time, we bring insights into the fate of efferent axons during ablation and regeneration of the hair cells in the zebrafish lateral line. Our behavioral analysis showed functional recovery of hair cells and sensory transmission within 48 h and their regeneration were in line with previous studies. Analysis of the inhibitory efferent projections revealed that in approximately half the cases the inhibitory efferent axons degenerated, which was never observed for the sensory afferent axons. Quantification of hair cells following ablation suggests that the presence of mature hair cells in the neuromast may prevent axon degeneration. Within 120 h, degenerated efferent axons regenerated along the axonal tract of the lateral line. Reanalysis of published single cell neuromast data hinted to a role for Bdnf in the survival of efferent axons. However, sequestering Bdnf, blocking the Trk-receptors, and inhibiting the down-stream ERK-signaling, did not induce axon degeneration, indicating that efferent survival is not mediated through neurotrophic factors. To further explore the relation between hair cells and efferent projections, we generated atoh1a mutants, where mature hair cells never form. In larvae lacking hair cells, inhibitory efferent projections were still present, following the tract of the sensory afferent without displaying any innervation. Our study reveal the fate of efferent innervation following hair cell ablation and provide insights into the inherent differences in regeneration between neurons in the peripheral and central nervous system.
