Research Abstract |
P27^<kip1> has a function to suppress the proliferation of supporting cell in the adult mammal cochlea. Considering this, downregulation of P27^<kip1> in adult mammal cochlea may cause proliferation of the supporting cells. P27^<kip1> existed in supporting cells in normal mouse organ of Corti. P27^<kip1> downregulation utilizing siRNA for P27^<kip1> resulted in re-entry into cell cycle of the supporting cells and proliferation of the supporting cells. Nevertheless, those supporting cells did not show phenotype of cochlear hair cells.
