Expression of KCNJ16. (A) Expression of KCNJ16 in the E115 cochlea. No KCNJ16 expression could be detected in the spiral ligament fibrocytes. (B) Expression of KCNJ16 in the E120 cochlea. No expression of KCNJ16 could still be detected in the spiral ligament fibrocytes, while KCNJ16 expression could be detected in outer sulcus cells at this stage. (C) Expression of KCNJ16 in the P0 cochlea. KCNJ16 expression could be detected in type II and IV spiral ligament fibrocytes at this stage. The nuclei were counterstained with Hoechst (blue). Scale bar 100 µm, II type II fibrocytes, IV type IV fibrocytes. (AC) Basal turns.
