No prestin expression reduction in Cx26 cKO mice. Prestin expression at the transcriptional level was measured by real-time RT-PCR. WT littermates served as controls. Prestin expression in the Cx26 cKO mice appears slightly increased rather than decreased. However, the increase is not significant (P= 0.58, one-way ANOVA). Data are expressed as mean ± S.D.
