The striated sheet matrix is believed to contribute to shear impedance in both the radial and longitudinal directions, but the molecular mechanisms involved have not been determined. A missense mutation in Tecta, a gene that encodes for the a-tectorin protein in the striated sheet matrix, causes a 60-dB threshold shift in mice with relatively little reduction in outer hair cell amplification. Here, we show that this threshold shift is coupled to changes in shear impedance, response to osmotic pressure, and concentration of fixed charge of the TM. In TectaY1870C/þ mice, the tectorin content of the TM was reduced, as was the content of glycoconjugates reacting with the lectin wheat germ agglutinin. Charge measurements showed Y C þ a decrease in fixed charge concentration from À6:451:4 mmol/L in wild-types to À2:150:7 mmol/L in Tecta 1870 / TMs. TMs from TectaY1870C/þ mice showed little volume change in response to osmotic pressure compared to those of wild-type mice. The magnitude of both radial and longitudinal TM shear impedance was reduced by 1051:6 dB in TectaY1870C/þ mice. However, the phase of shear impedance was unchanged. These changes are consistent with an increase in the porosity of the TM and a cor- responding decrease of the solid fraction. Mechanisms by which these changes can affect the coupling between outer and inner hair cells are discussed. INTRODUCTION The tectorial membrane (TM) is an acellular gelatinous elevation in compound action potential (CAP) threshold, structure that contacts the hair cells in the organ of Corti but only an 8-dB reduction in basilar membrane (BM) and which contains multiple glycoproteins that are highly displacement (1).

Previous studies have shown that TECTA and TECTB are both required for formation of the striated-sheet matrix within which collagen fibrils of the TM are imbedded and that CEACAM16 interacts with TECTA. To learn more about the structural and functional significance of CEACAM16, we created a Ceacam16-null mutant mouse. In the absence of CEACAM16, TECTB levels are reduced, a clearly defined striated-sheet matrix does not develop, and Hensen’s stripe, a prominent feature in the basal two-thirds of the TM in WT mice, is absent. CEACAM16 is also shown to interact with TECTB, indicating that it may stabilize interactions between TECTA and TECTB.

  • Novel Cell Types and Developmental Lineages Revealed by Single-Cell

We performed single-cell RNA-seq on ampullae microdissected from E16, E18, P3, and P7 mice. Cluster analysis identified the hair cells, support cells and glia of the crista as well as dark cells and other nonsensory epithelial cells of the ampulla, mesenchymal cells, vascular cells, macrophages, and melanocytes. Cluster-specific expression of genes predicted their spatially restricted domains of *For correspondence: gene expression in the crista and ampulla.

Friedman, National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, National Institutes of Health, Rockville, MD, and accepted by the Editorial Board September 28, 2012 (received for review June 14, 2012) The gene causative for the human nonsyndromic recessive form of reticular lamina and the lower surface of the TM in an ex vivo deafness DFNB22 encodes otoancorin, a 120-kDa inner ear-specific preparation of the guinea pig cochlea provide evidence that, at protein that is expressed on the surface of the spiral limbus in the frequencies below 3 kHz, counterphase transverse movements of cochlea. Gene targeting in ES cells was used to create an EGFP the two surfaces generate pulsatile fluid movements in the sub- EGFP/EGFP EGFP/EGFP knock-in, otoancorin KO (Otoa ) mouse. In the Otoa tectorial space that could drive the hair bundles of the IHCs (10). mouse, the tectorial membrane (TM), a ribbon-like strip of ECM At higher frequencies, the two surfaces move in phase, and radial that is normally anchored by one edge to the spiral limbus and shear alone is thought to dominate.
