Volume homeostasis of the cochlear endolymph depends on radial and longitudinal
endolymph movements (LEMs). LEMs measured in vivo have been exclusively
recognized under physiologically challenging conditions, such as experimentally
induced alterations of perilymph osmolarity or endolymph volume. The regulatory
mechanisms that adjust LEMs to the physiological requirements of endolymph volume
homeostasis remain unknown. Here, we describe the formation of an aquaporin
(AQP)-based "water shunt" during the postnatal development of the mouse cochlea
and its regulation by different triggers. The final complementary expression
pattern of AQP5 (apical membrane) and AQP4 (basolateral membrane) in outer sulcus
cells (OSCs) of the cochlear apex is acquired at the onset of hearing function
(postnatal day (p)8-p12). In vitro, hyperosmolar perfusion of the perilymphatic
fluid spaces or the administration of the muscarinic agonist pilocarpine in
cochlear explants (p14) induced the translocation of AQP5 channel proteins into
the apical membranes of OSCs. AQP5 membrane translocation was blocked by the
muscarinic antagonist atropine. The muscarinic M3 acetylcholine (ACh) receptor
(M3R) was identified in murine OSCs via mRNA expression, immunolabeling, and in
vitro binding studies using an M3R-specific fluorescent ligand. Finally, the
water shunt elements AQP4, AQP5, and M3R were also demonstrated in OSCs of the
human cochlea. The regulation of the AQP4/AQP5 water shunt in OSCs of the
cochlear apex provides a molecular basis for regulated endolymphatic volume
homeostasis. Moreover, its dysregulation or disruption may have pathophysiologic
implications for clinical conditions related to endolymphatic hydrops, such as
Ménière's disease.
