Abstract

Transcription factors are believed to play key roles in determining cell fate in inner ear development. Olig genes, which are basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors, have been reported to play important roles in the development of the central nervous system. However, members of this family have not previously been implicated in inner ear development, despite the similarity between otocyst and neural tube development. Olig1 begins to be expressed at the ventral domain of the otocyst at embryonic day (E) 9.5, and Olig1 expression in the epithelium of the developing inner ear persists to E15.5. Olig2 expression is localized to the cochleovestibular ganglia from E12.5 through E14.5. Olig3 has a diffuse expression pattern in the developing inner ear from E12.5 through the postnatal stage. Furthermore, at early stages of inner ear development, the Olig1 expression domain overlaps a region that is positive for Sox2 and Jagged1. This observation indicates that Olig1 may play an important role in the specification of the prosensory domain in the developing inner ear. As Olig genes are expressed in the mouse developing inner ear in a temporospatially distinct fashion, they may play substantial roles in the regulation of mammalian i...Continue Reading

Cell Fate Specification

Cell fate specification is determined by complex signal transduction pathways including Notch and the Sonic hedgehog signaling pathway. Here is the latest research on regulation of cell fate determination.
