Cellular interaction as a response to injury in the organ of Corti in culture. of special interest Int J Dev Neurosci. 15:1997;463-485 This study suggests that the repair of injured hair cells is more dependent on the extent of injury than on how it occurs. The author suggest that injured hair cells may respond in a number of different ways, and they make the novel suggestion that the supporting cells provide both protective and trophic support to the injured cells during the repair and recovery process.

The author demonstrates recruitment of macrophages to the site of the hair-cell lesion and suggests that macrophages have a role (i.e. they are a source of growth factors) in the initiation of the basilar papilla's hair-cell regeneration response.

Induction of cell proliferation in avian inner ear sensory epithelia by insulin like growth factor 1 and insulin. of special interest J Comp Neurol. 380:1997;262-274 This study convincingly demonstrates that both insulin and insulin-like growth factor type I can evoke a cell proliferation response from normal mature vestibular sensory epithelium explanted from 8- to 18-day-old chicks. This paper has an excellent discussion of the differences between growth-factor-elicited cell proliferation responses by avian and mammalian vestibular sensory epithelia.

Am J Otol. 18:1997;637-643 Analysis of variations in the maturity of stereociliary bundle morphology in the utricles of mature guinea pigs formed the basis for these authors to put forth the intriguing hypothesis that there is a low level of ongoing hair-cell proliferation to replace hair cells lost to normal processes. This phenomena has been demonstrated in the vestibule of adult birds but until now has not been thought to occur actively in the vestibule of mammals. This is a potentially important observation that needs confirmation by other methodologies.

Induction of cell proliferation by fibroblast and insulin like growth factors in pure rat inner ear epithelial cell cultures. of outstanding interest J Neurosci. 17:1997;216-226 This novel approach used partially dissociated sheets of early postnatal rat utricular epithelium to screen a large number of different growth factors for their ability to initiate a cell proliferation response. Several growth factors from different families were identified as mitogens for utricular sensory epithelium in this system, with some growth factor combinations demonstrating an additive effect on the cell proliferation response of this tissue. This is a well designed and executed experimental series using blocking antibodies to confirm the growth factor effects on mitogenesis in vitro.

42. Zine A, de Ribaupierre F. Replacement of mammalian auditory hair cells. Neuroreport. 9:1998;263-268 This paper provides a convincing demonstration of hair-cell renewal in early postnatal rat organ of Corti explants following aminoglycoside damage to the auditory hair cells. The results suggest that the EGF receptor plays a role in the hair-cell renewal response by the damage organ of Corti, as either TGFα or EGF can initiate this hair-cell renewal response in the aminoglycoside-damaged explants. The results suggest that the damaged hair-cell population is renewed via transdifferentiation of either supporting cells or latent hair-cell precursors and/or repair of damaged hair cells, as none of the renewed hair-cell population labeled for thymidine incorporation.

44. Lenoir M, Vago P. Does the organ of Corti attempt to differentiate new hair cells after antibiotic intoxication in rat pups? of special interest Int J Dev Neurosci. 15:1997;487-495 This study characterizes a transient attempt at hair-cell renewal in situ at the level of the outer hair cells in the aminoglycoside-damaged cochleae of young rats. Atypical cells that have similarities in surface morphology to developing hair cells appear and then disappear at the junction between damaged and undamaged hair cells within the organ of Corti. These results may represent an unsuccessful attempt at repair or unsuccessful attempt at repair or unsuccessful hair-cell neodifferentiation, as suggested by the authors. Their observation is important because it is the first evidence of an attempt at hair-cell renewal in situ in the mammalian cochlea.

J Neurosci. 17:1997;8270-8282 This study confirms calretinin's usefulness as an early marker of hair-cell differentiation and its application to mammalian vestibular hair-cell regeneration research. The authors used antibodies raised against calretinin to track damaged vestibular hair cells that were no longer identifiable by their characteristic morphology following ototoxic damage, and the consequent loss of their identifying sensory hair bundles. This type of approach may prove to be useful for sorting out the relative contributions of transdifferentiation and repair to the hair-cell renewal process.
