Figure 7. Cochlear tunnel development and expression of miR-96 in the cochlea during cochlear postnatal development.

Figure 7

(a) Postnatal development of the organ of Corti in wild-type (WT) and Cx26 KO mice. The cochlear tunnel occurs at postnatal day 5 (P5) in WT mice (indicated by white arrows) but is filled in the Cx26 KO mice (indicated by red arrows). Scale bars: 20 μm. (b) Dynamic changes of miR-96 expression in the Cx26 KO, Cx30 KO, and WT mouse cochlea during postnatal development. WT littermates were used as control. The expression levels were normalized to that at P1 for comparison of dynamic changes. **P < 0.001, one-way ANOVA with a Bonferroni correction.
