| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this project is to clarify the effect of FGF signal on the morphology of stereocilia and transductional channeln of hair cells. We've reported reported that FGF signal helps not only the ear formation in early embryo stage but also kinocilia formation. FGFR1 exists in the tip of stereocilia temporary (P2-P7 in cochlea organ and P1-P10 in vestibular organ) using lab-made antibody. This was confirmed using the purchased antibody which recognize same region. Sequencing of FGFR1 gene from mouse cochlea sample on that transient stage, we found the new isoform which doesn't contain neither transmembrane nor intracellular domain. Although we tried to produce FGFR1 conditional KO mice, the estimation of these mice because of the variability of KO ratio.
