hearing/vestibular/ear
• hair cells are frequently lost in the cochlea without morphological changes at P21
• however, degeneration of hair cells in the vestibular sensory organs is not seen, ultrastructure of bicellular tight junctions is maintained, and apicobasal polarity is maintained in hair cells
|
• loss of cochlear inner hair cells is first seen at P21 and most are lost by P60
|
• cochlear outer hair cells are occasionally lost by P14, with loss rapidly progressing with age such that they are completely lost by P21
• apoptosis is seen in outer hair cells in the organ of Corti at P15
|
• P14 mice exhibit severe hearing loss, with a click ABR threshold of 87.5 +/- 3.2 dB sound pressure level, which is higher than in controls (60 +/- 4.2 dB)
• P21 mice exhibit profound hearing loss with no detectable ABR using a 90 dB click or tone burst stimuli at 8, 16, 24, or 32 kHz
|
• distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) is smaller compared to wild-type mice at all frequencies measured on P14 and undetectable on P21
• however, endocochlear potential and the paracellular permeability of the stria vascularis are maintained in P17-P24 mice
|
• mice develop an early-onset rapidly progressive hearing loss
• however, mice do not exhibit balance or gait abnormalities
|
behavior/neurological
• P21-P60 mice lack Preyers reflex in the startle response
|
