hearing/vestibular/ear phenotype
abnormal cochlear outer hair cell morphology (MGI Ref ID J:79029)
at 7-9 weeks, F2 heterozygotes exhibit intermediate OHC lengths in all cochlear turns relative to wild-type and homozygous mutant mice

cochlear outer hair cell degeneration (MGI Ref ID J:79029)
at 7-9 weeks, F2 heterozygotes show scattered loss of cochlear OHCs in the basal 25% of the cochlear spiral
however, no OHC loss is noted at P7
abnormal distortion product otoacoustic emission (MGI Ref ID J:79029)
at 6-8 weeks of age, DPOAE-based thresholds are 3.1-6.4 dB higher than those in control mice, excluding the highest test frequencies, where OHC loss complicates interpretation
abnormal distortion product otoacoustic emission (MGI Ref ID J:118929)
DPOAEs are reduced in F2 but not in F3-F5 heterozygotes
cochlear inner hair cell degeneration (MGI Ref ID J:79029)
at 7-9 weeks, F2 heterozygotes show scattered loss of cochlear IHCs in the basal 25% of the cochlear spiral
at 6-8 weeks of age, ABR thresholds for responses originating from cochlear regions with all hair cells present (frequencies 22.6 kHz) are elevated by 1-8 dB (MGI Ref ID J:79029)
at P21, heterozygotes exhibit a significant increase in high-frequency ABR auditory thresholds (~3.5 dB) relative to wild-type littermates (MGI Ref ID J:91680)
decreased cochlear outer hair cell electromotility (MGI Ref ID J:79029)
in response to voltage steps (-120-60 mV in 20-mV steps) in whole-cell, voltage clamp recordings, OHCs isolated from F2 generation heterozygotes show a 54% reduction in in vitro electromotility relative to wild-type OHCs
at 6-8 weeks, F2 generation heterozygotes show a 6 dB loss of cochlear sensitivity, i.e. a ~2-fold increase in cochlear thresholds relative to wild-type mice, due to a 54% reduction in OHC electromotility (MGI Ref ID J:79029)
in stark contrast to F2 heterozygotes, F3-F5 heterozygotes display normal CAP thresholds, CAP tuning curves and CM input-output functions, with no significant differences in non-linear capacitance or OHC electromotility relative to wild-type mice (MGI Ref ID J:118929)
consistent with normal hearing data in F3-F5 heterozygotes, immunocytochemical and western blot analyses show that wild-type-like prestin protein expression is attained in adolescent heterozygotes prior to P33 (MGI Ref ID J:118929)
nervous system phenotype
abnormal cochlear outer hair cell morphology (MGI Ref ID J:79029)
at 7-9 weeks, F2 heterozygotes exhibit intermediate OHC lengths in all cochlear turns relative to wild-type and homozygous mutant mice
however, hair bundle morphology on all three rows of OHCs appears unaffected
cochlear outer hair cell degeneration (MGI Ref ID J:79029)
at 7-9 weeks, F2 heterozygotes show scattered loss of cochlear OHCs in the basal 25% of the cochlear spiral
however, no OHC loss is noted at P7
cochlear inner hair cell degeneration (MGI Ref ID J:79029)
at 7-9 weeks, F2 heterozygotes show scattered loss of cochlear IHCs in the basal 25% of the cochlear spiral
however, no IHC loss is noted at P7
decreased cochlear outer hair cell electromotility (MGI Ref ID J:79029)
in response to voltage steps (-120-60 mV in 20-mV steps) in whole-cell, voltage clamp recordings, OHCs isolated fr om F2 generation heterozygotes show a 54% reduction in in vitro electromotility relative to wild-type OHCs
at 6-8 weeks of age, the increased DPOAE threshold shifts (45 - 55 dB) were similar to those seen with ABR (MGI Ref ID J:79029)
at 1-2 months of age, DPOAEs are only measurable in ~50% of homozygotes, with the strongest responses noted for f2 = 22.6 and 8.0 kHz, i.e. frequencies close to the regions of maximum sensitivity in these mutants (MGI Ref ID J:124148)
homozygotes in which DPOAEs are measurable correspond to cases with the lowest CAP thresholds (MGI Ref ID J:124148)
when present, DPOAE amplitudes are clearly lower than those in either wild-type or heterozygous mice, with a horizontal shift of ~50 dB, i.e. matching the observed CAP threshold shift (""loss of cochlear amplifier gain"") (MGI Ref ID J:124148)
persistence of attenuated high-level DPOAEs indicates that OHC somatic motility is not required for their production (MGI Ref ID J:124148)
absent distortion product otoacoustic emissions (MGI Ref ID J:124148)
distortion products in both CM and otoacoustic emissions disappear rapidly after death, suggesting that these DPOAEs are produced by "active" processes in OHC stereocilia
absent cochlear microphonics (MGI Ref ID J :79029)
homozygotes display decay of the cochlear microphonic at the cessation of the tone burst, as expected for a passive system
no disruption of mechano-electrical transduction is noted in cochlear OHCs
absent cochlear outer hair cell electromotility (MGI Ref ID J:79029)
in response to voltage steps (-120-60 mV in 20-mV steps) in whole-cell, voltage clamp recordings, isolated homozygous mutant cochlear OHCs show absence of in vitro electromotility at all points tested
cochlear hair cell degeneration (MGI Ref ID J:91680)
only sporadic cochlear hair cell loss is noted at P21
a striking increase in hair cell loss is observed between P28 and P42
at all stages, % of hair cell decreases gradually from the basal turn to the middle turn of the cochlea
apoptosis of hair cells begins at P28, as confirmed by TUNEL assays
loss of cochlear IHCs lags behind that of OHCs
no significant cochlear hair cell loss occurs prior to P28
at 7-9 weeks, homozygotes show a nearly complete loss of cochlear IHCs in the basal 25% of the cochlear spiral (MGI Ref ID J:79029)
homozygotes show no remarkable cochlear IHC loss prior to P35; however, 29.3% of IHC are lost in the basal-most cochlear turn by P42 (MGI Ref ID J:91680)
at 7-9 weeks, homozygotes a nearly complete loss of cochlear OHCs in the basal 25% of the cochlear spiral (MGI Ref ID J:79029)
in a basal-most 7% cochlear region, 1.6% of OHCs are lost at P21, 10.6% of OHCs are lost at P28, and 94% of OHCs are lost at P42 (MGI Ref ID J:91680)
at P28, the innermost row of OHCs shows significantly more loss relative to the middle and outermost OHC rows in the basal-middle cochlear turns (MGI Ref ID J:91680)
by P42, 47.1% of OHCs are lost in the basal-most cochlear turn (MGI Ref ID J:91680)
the number of apoptotic OHCs is maximal at P28 and P35, consistent with OHC loss (MGI Ref ID J:91680)
at P42, more apoptotic cells are detected in the basal turn than in the middle and apical turns of the cochlea (MGI Ref ID J:91680)
at 6-8 weeks of age, ABR thresholds were 45 - 65 dB higher than those in wild-type mice, a decrease in sensitivity of two to three orders of magnitude (MGI Ref ID J:79029)
as early as P14, homozygotes exhibit a significant increase in ABR auditory thresholds (~25 dB) relative to wild-type littermates (MGI Ref ID J:91680)
at P21, high-frequency ABR auditory thresholds are elevated by ~50 dB (MGI Ref ID J:91680)
at 30-58 days of age, homozygotes exhibit a significant reduction in cochlear microphonic (CM) at 16 kHz relative to wild-type or heterozygous mice (MGI Ref ID J:105502)
in homozygotes, CM remains ~12 dB below that in wild-type mice even at the highest levels (MGI Ref ID J:105502)
OHC forward transduction appears normal, as homozygotes have wild-type-like nonlinear responses including harmonic and intermodulation distortion, CM pseudotransducer functions, both summating potential polarities, as well as normal uptake of the dye AM1-43 via transducer channels (MGI Ref ID J:105502)
at 1-2 months of age, distortion product cochlear microphonics (DPCM) amplitudes are significantly depressed, esp. at low stimulus levels (MGI Ref ID J:124148)
homozygotes exhibiting measurable DPOAEs have larger DPCM than those for which DPOAEs are below the noise floor (MGI Ref ID J:124148)
in addition, the horizontal shift in DPCM growth functions is smaller than the loss of gain measured via CAP or via DPOAEs (MGI Ref ID J:124148)
DPCM at 2 f1-f2 is ~20 dB down from the primaries, at high SPLs, in both mutant and wildtype mice, and no differences in CM Lissajous patterns are observed (MGI Ref ID J:124148)
at 30-58 days of age, homozygotes display CAP thresholds shifts in a frequency-dependent manner, with a gain change of ~45 dB at 5 kHz and of ~60 dB at 33 kHz (MGI Ref ID J:105502)
CAP input-output functions indicate that the low-level segment is absent, and response magnitudes are reduced for the high-level segment, especially at 12 and 32 kHz (MGI Ref ID J:105502)
CAP input-output functions at 6 kHz show near-normal magnitudes at high levels where minimal amplification is expected (MGI Ref ID J:105502)
simultaneous masking curves for CAPs produced in response to a 12 kHz probe tone indicate absence of frequency selectivity (i.e. no tuning) in homozygotes (MGI Ref ID J:105502)
at 1-2 months of age, homozygotes of the F3-F5 generation display significant increases in CAP thresholds relative to wild-type mice, ranging from ~35 dB at 3.2 kHz to ~55 dB at 16 kHz (MGI Ref ID J:124148)
however, homozygotes with the highest CAP thresholds show no measurable ear canal distortions, even at the highest SPLs (MGI Ref ID J:124148)
degeneration of organ of Corti supporting cells (MGI Ref ID J:91680)
by P42, homozygotes show complete loss of supporting cells in the basal-middle turns
apoptosis is noted in inner phalangeal cells and Deiters cells as well as in inner sulcus cells
at 6-8 weeks, homozygotes exhibit a frequency-dependent reduction in cochlear sensitivity, ranging from ~40 dB at 5.6 kHz to >60 dB at 22.6 kHz, due to a loss of OHC electromotility
at P14 and P21, the organ of Corti appears intact in the basal-middle cochlear turns, whereas OHC los s is noted at P28
at P35, collapse of the organ of Corti and loss of three rows of OHCs are noted in the basal-middle turns; few remaining supporting cells are observed
by P42, complete collapse of the organ of Corti and loss of hair cells and supporting cells are observed in the basal-middle turns
short cochlear outer hair cells (MGI Ref IDs J:79029, J:91680)
at 7-9 weeks, homozygotes exhibit a decrement in OHC lengths in all cochlear turns while hair bundle morphology on all three rows of OHCs is normal (MGI Ref ID J:79029)
at P21 (when OHC loss is minimal but ABR thresholds are elevated), mutant OHCs display reduced cell length (MGI Ref ID J:91680)
however, no ultrastructural abnormalities in sterocilla, lateral wall, tight junction or synapses are noted at P21 (MGI Ref ID J:91680)
homozygotes display decay of the cochlear microphonic at the cessation of the tone burst, as expected for a passive system
no disruption of mechano-electrical transduction is noted in cochlear OHCs
absent cochlear outer hair cell electromotility (MGI Ref ID J:79029)
in response to voltage steps (-120-60 mV in 20-mV steps) in whole-cell, voltage clamp recordings, isolated homozygous mutant cochlear OHCs show absence of in vitro electromotility at all points tested
cochlear ganglion degeneration (MGI Ref ID J:91680)
in the basal cochlear turn, spiral ganglion undergoes apoptosis later than OHCs and IHCs
cochlear hair cell degeneration (MGI Ref ID J:91680)

The distribution fee covers the expense of resuscitating mice from the cryo-archive; you will receive the resulting litter. The litter will contain at minimum one mutant carrier; the actual number of animals and the gender and genotype ratios will vary. (Typically, multiple breeder pairs can be established from the recovered litter.) Prior to shipment, the MMRRC will provide information about the animals recovered. If you anticipate or find that you need to request specific genotypes, genders or quantities of mice in excess of what is likely from a resuscitated litter, you may discuss available options and pricing with the supplying MMRRC facility.

An aliquot is one straw or vial with sufficient sperm to recover at least one litter of mice, as per provided protocols, when performed at the MMRRC facility. The MMRRC makes no guarantee concerning the success of these procedures when performed outside the MMRRC facilities.
3
An aliquot contains a sufficient number of embryos (in one or more
vials and based on the transfer success rate of the MMRRC facility) to
transfer to at least two recipients. The MMRRC makes no guarantee concerning
embryo transfer success experienced in the recipient investigator's laboratory.
Neither gender nor genotype ratios are guaranteed.
