Outline of Final Research Achievements

It became clear now that seriously worse hearing impairment occurred in the knockout mouse by powerful sound load when manufacture of the inner ear-specific conditional knockout mouse of Erk2,FRS2 was almost completed, and it analyzed the hearing function.Also, this this inner ear-specific conditional knockout mouse confirmed that there was not the morphologic abnormality particularly.
Also, we confirmed that the expression of downstream AP-1 of the signal of FRS2 increased.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

内耳特異的Erk1/2およびFRS2コンデイショナルノックアウトマウスの聴覚特性の解析することにより、内耳障害を引き起こす可能性のある分子ネットワークを網羅的に解析、検討することが可能となり、内耳障害の診断と治療、またその進行の独創的な予防法が明らかになると考えられる。
