Abstract

p27(Kip1) (p27) has been shown to inhibit several cyclin-dependent kinase molecules and to play a central role in regulating entry into the cell cycle. Once hair cells in the cochlea are formed, p27 is expressed in non-sensory cells of the organ of Corti and prevents their re-entry into the cell cycle. In one line of p27 deficient mice (p27(-/-)), cell division in the organ of Corti continues past its normal embryonic time, leading to continual production of cells in the organ of Corti. Here we report on the structure and function of the inner ear in another line of p27 deficient mice originating from the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. The deficiency in p27 expression of these mice is incomplete, as they retain expression of amino acids 52-197. We determined that mice homozygote for this mutation had severe hearing loss and their organ of Corti exhibited an increase in the number of inner and outer hair cells. There also was a marked increase in the number of supporting cells, with severe pathologies in pillar cells. These data show similarities between this p27(Kip1) mutation and another, previously reported null allele of this gene, and suggest that reducing the inhibition on the cell cycle in the organ of Corti lead...Continue Reading

Adult Stem Cells

Adult stem cells reside in unique niches that provide vital cues for their survival, self-renewal, and differentiation. They hold great promise for use in tissue repair and regeneration as a novel therapeutic strategies. Here is the latest research.

Auditory Perception

Auditory perception is the ability to receive and interpret information attained by the ears. Here is the latest research on factors and underlying mechanisms that influence auditory perception.

Cell Cycle Pathways

Cell cycle is a complex process regulated by several signal transduction pathways and enzymes. Here is the latest research on regulation of cell cycle and cell cycle pathways.

Cell Checkpoints & Regulators

Cell cycle checkpoints are a series of complex checkpoint mechanisms that detect DNA abnormalities and ensure that DNA replication and repair are complete before cell division. They are primarily regulated by cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases, and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome. Here is the latest research.
