Viable dominant spotting (W v /W v ) mice have a c-kit gene mutation, which impedes the migration of neural crest cells to the developing cochlea where they normally differentiate into intermediate cells (ICs). A prominent pathological feature shared by these mutants and the aging human and gerbil cochlea is thickening of the basement membrane (BM) of strial capillaries. Atrophy of...
Dystroglycan (DG) forms part of a cell surface laminin receptor complex and is believed to play a critical role in the assembly and homeostasis of basement membranes (BM). The receptor complex is made up of α- and β-DG subunits and is found in muscle, epithelial and nerve tissue. In the cochlea, DG may be involved in the abnormal accumulation of laminin seen in the thickened BM of strial capillaries...
