Rescue of cochlear remodeling by T3 treatment. (A) Scheme of administration of T3 (or saline vehicle) by sc injections at P0-P2 then analysis at P5. (B) Histological sections of the mid-lower cochlea showing status of remodeling. T3 but not saline stimulates opening of the inner sulcus (is) and tunnel of Corti (tc), regression of the greater epithelial ridge (ger) and a thinner tectorial membrane (tm, grey arrow) in both dko and wt mice. (C) Measurements of open areas of the inner sulcus (IS) and tunnel of Corti (TC) after treatment with saline or T3 given at 0.2 or 1.5 μg/day. Measured on middle regions of the cochlea on plastic sections using ImageJ. Groups were compared to saline-treated wt mice following a two-way ANOVA; *p = 0.0105; ***p < 0.001.
