| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Endolymph, which is the fluid contained in the inner ear, always shows the high potential of +80 mV. The decrease of endocochlear potential cause the hearing loss. This high potential is dependent on both of the potential and the ionic concentration behavior of the stria vascularis, which consists of two layer of epithelial tissues, the inner and the outer layer. In this study, we identified 104 ionic transport molecules which contribute to the ionic behavior of the stria vascularis. In addition, we identified that the sodium ionic transportation of the outer layer of the stria vascularis is important for maintaining the endocochlear potential by using the electrophysiological experiments and the computer simulation analysis.
