Figure 6. AAV.Syne4 promotes long‐term survival of OHC in Syne4 −/− mice.

- Whole‐mount immunofluorescence at 12w of the organ of Corti of a Syne4 −/− mouse injected with AAV.Syne4 mouse injected with AAV.Syne4.
- Whole‐mount immunofluorescence at 12w of the 12 kHz region of WT, Syne4 −/− mouse, and Syne4 −/− mouse injected with AAV.Syne4.
- IHC and OHC counts, n = 3 for WT, n = 4 for Mut, and n = 6 for Mut + AAV.Syne4.
- Correlation between HC count and ABR threshold at 12kHz.
- 3D surface projection of an OHC at 12w from the 12kHz region of WT and Syne4 −/− mice injected with AAV.Syne4. Open arrows denote basal end, and white arrows denote cuticular plate.
- Image analysis of nucleus position of OHC.
- Quantification of nuclear distance from the cuticular plate. A total of 30 OHC from 3 WT mice and 38 OHC from 4 Syne4 −/− mice injected with AAV.Syne4 were measured.
Data information: Scale bars = 100 μm for (A), 10 μm for (B), and 5 μm for (E). Statistical tests were Pearson correlation with two‐tailed P values for (D) and unpaired Student’s t‐test for (G). Plots show mean ± SD.
