PAX3 mutation suppress otic progenitors proliferation and induce apoptosis by inhibiting WNT1/β-catenin signaling pathway in WS1 patient iPSC-derived inner ear organoids.

Abstract excerpt

Waardenburg syndrome type 1 (WS1) is a hereditary disease mainly characterized by sensorineural hearing loss, dystopia canthorum, and pigmentary defects. To elucidate molecular mechanisms underlying PAX3-associated hearing loss, we developed inner ear organoids model using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from WS1 patient and healthy individual. Our results revealed a significant reduction in the...
