The mouse serves as a valuable model for treatment leading to the prevention and therapy of inner ear disease. Transgenic correction of genetic inner ear disease in mice may help develop treatment for human genetic inner ear disease. In mutations involving hair cells (HCs) or supporting cells (SCs), it is necessary to insert the wild-type transgenes directly into these cells. We used inner ear explants to characterize the transgenic expression using adenovirus-mediated reporter genes (bacterial lacZ). The variable parameters were the age of the explants (P1-P5), the type of vector (first and advanced generation adenovirus) and the genotype of the mouse (wild-type versus shaker-2 mutant). Transduction of cochlear HCs was detected at P1 and in some of the P3 cochleae. Low efficiency transduction of SCs was observed in P1 explants, but the efficiency increased with age and reached high levels at P5. The pattern of transduction was similar regardless of the genotype and the type of vector used. The data demonstrate that differentiating HCs and SCs in mouse explants can be transduced by adenovirus vectors, suggesting that cultures of mouse ears are a valuable model for developing inner ear gene therapy protocols.

The recently presented theory of microvillar Ca(2+)signaling [Lange, K. (1999) J. Cell. Physiol.180, 19-35], combined with Manning's theory of "condensed counterions" in linear polyelectrolytes [Manning, G. S. (1969). J. Chem. Phys.51, 924-931] and the finding of cable-like ion conductance in actin filaments [Lin, E. C. & Cantiello, H. F. (1993). Biophys. J.65, 1371-1378], allows a systematic interpretation of the role of the actin cytoskeleton in ion channel regulation.Ion conduction through actin filament bundles of microvilli exhibits unique nonlinear transmission properties some of which closely resemble that of electronic semiconductors: (1) bundles of microfilaments display significant resistance to cation conduction and (2) this resistance is decreased by supply of additional energy either as thermal, mechanical or electromagnetic field energy. Other transmission properties, however, are unique for ionic conduction in polyelectrolytes. (1) Current pulses injected into the filaments were transformed into oscillating currents or even into several discrete charge pulses closely resembling that of single-channel recordings. Discontinuous transmission is due to the existence of counterion clouds along the fixed anionic charge centers of the polymer, each acting as an "ionic capacitor". (2) The conductivity of linear polyelectrolytes strongly decreases with the charge number of the counterions; thus, Ca(2+)and Mg(2+)are effective modulator of charge transfer through linear polyelectrolytes. Field-dependent formation of divalent cation plugs on either side of the microvillar conduction line may generate the characteristic gating behavior of cation channels. (3) Mechanical movement of actin filament bundles, e.g. bending of hair cell microvilli, generates charge translocations along the filament structure (mechano-electrical coupling). (4) Energy of external fields, by inducing molecular dipoles within the polyelectrolyte matrix, can be transformed into mechanical movement of the system (electro-mechanical coupling). Because ionic transmission through linear polyelectrolytes is very slow compared with electronic conduction, only low-frequency electromagnetic fields can interact with the condensed counterion systems of linear polyelectrolytes.The delineated characteristics of microvillar ion conduction are strongly supported by the phenomenon of electro-mechanical coupling (reverse transduction) in microvilli of the audioreceptor (hair) cells and the recently reported dynamics of Ca(2+)signaling in microvilli of audio- and photoreceptor cells. Due to the cell-specific expression of different types and combinations of ion channels and transporters in the microvillar tip membrane of differentiated cells, the functional properties of this cell surface organelle are highly variable serving a multitude of different cellular functions including receptor-mediated effects such as Ca(2+)signaling, regulation of glucose and amino acid transport, as well as modulation of membrane potential. Even mechanical channel activation involved in cell volume regulation can be deduced from the systematic properties of the microvillar channel concept. In addition, the specific ion conduction properties of microfilaments combined with their proposed role in Ca(2+)signaling make microvilli the most likely cellular site for the interaction with external electric and magnetic fields. 2000 Academic Press.

A new spontaneous mutation in the mouse Ames waltzer gene, Pcdh15.

A recessive deafness mutation in the mouse arose spontaneously and was identified in a colony segregating a null allele of the gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (Grpr) locus. Auditory-evoked brain stem response measurements revealed deafness in 7-week-old affected mice. By linkage analyses, the mutant phenotype was mapped near marker D10Mit186 and the protocadherin gene Pcdh15. As shown by complementation testing, the new mutation is allelic with Ames waltzer (Pcdh15(av)). Sequencing mutant-derived brain Pcdh15 cDNAs identified the insertion of a cytosine residue at nucleotide position c2099 (2099insC), which results in a frame-shift and premature stop codon. Abnormal stereocilia on inner and outer hair cells of the organ of Corti were identified by scanning electron microscopy as early as postnatal day 0 and cross-sectional histology revealed severe neuroepithelial degeneration in cochleas of 30-50-day-old mutants. The new allele of Ames waltzer, designated Pcdh15(av-Jfb), may aid in studying the histopathology associated with Usher syndrome type 1F, which is caused by a functional null allele of PCDH15.

Glycogen in the cochlea during development.
Hilding DA, Bahia I, Ginzberg RD.
A recently developed technique for demonstrating glycogen by electron microscopy was used to study its location at various stages of cochlear development. It appears first in dispersed form in most of the cells of the otocyst at the stage of the 14-day rat embryo. Glycogen clums were found in Reissner's membrane at 17 days and in the future pillar cells shortly afterwards. Near the time of birth, glycogen appeared in the stria vascularis. By a few days after birth, heavy deposits were evident in the stria but glycogen had faded from the pillar cells and Reissner's membrane. Ten days after birth glycogen is no longer apparent in any of the cells of the cochlear duct except the outer hair cells.

and promotes hair growth.
Numerous personal experiences and anecdotal cases testify that the herbal formula based on the Chinese
herbs improves the situation of the age-related hair thinning and hair loss for a large fraction of people
taking it regularly. It is unknown how Hair Million herbs stop hair loss, and promote hair growth due to
the lack of scientific research and placebo controlled clinical trials.
