Figure 5. Hair cells in damaged mature cochlea treated with LY411575 in vivo.

Figure 5

(A) The number of hair cells (green; myosin VIIa) in the outer hair cell region (white brackets) of deafened cochleae at 8, 11.3, and 16 kHz areas was increased compared to the control ear (right ear treated with carrier) 3 months after treatment with LY411575 (left ear), and the increase was accompanied by a decrease in the number of supporting cells (blue: Sox2) in the same regions in these whole mount confocal xy-projections.

(B) Significant differences in the numbers of hair cells and supporting cells were observed in the outer hair cell area at 8 and 11.3 kHz regions of treated (left) ears 3 months after treatment with LY411575 as compared to the values in the contralateral carrier-treated ear of deafened mice (n = 5 in each group).

All scale bars are 50 μm. Error bars are standard error of the mean and asterisks indicate p < 0.05.
