Effect of CNTF and hOSM on neuronal survival and morphology after 42 hours in culture. Control cultures contained BDNF, NT3 and serum. Cytokine cultures additionally contained either CNTF or hOSM. A) Inclusion of CNTF or hOSM increases survival and B) the number of bipolar neurons in the culture over that in control cultures. C) The differences in the numbers of monopolar neurons or D) those with no neurites are not statistically significant. Numbers represent the averages ± SEM of the means from 3 experiments, 2–3 wells per condition per experiment. Neurons in each well are normalized to surviving βIII tubulin +cells/cochlea as described in the methods (left Y axis). On the right Y axis, survival is related to the total number of spiral ganglion neurons in the newborn cochlea (8240, Whitlon et al., 2006, see methods). The p values compare each cytokine culture to the control culture. *p<0.05.
