Hair cell regeneration in the avian vestibular epithelium.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Research conducted in the past 4 years has shown that the avian vestibular system retains the capacity to generate hair cells postnatally. In the present paper we review information on postnatal proliferation and differentiation of hair cells in the avian vestibular system. In addition, we present preliminary accounts of recent experiments regarding regeneration of vestibular hair cells following aminoglycoside toxicity. The overall consensus is that the avian vestibular system is able to regenerate hair cells, both on an ongoing basis and after damage.

Hair cell regeneration after streptomycin toxicity in the avian vestibular epithelium.
Recent reports documented the ability of the posthatch avian vestibular epithelia to produce hair cells continually at a low rate. This project was designed to investigate whether, in addition, the chicken vestibular system is capable of regenerating its sensory epithelium in response to a lesion. Aminoglycoside injections were given to young birds in order to damage the vestibular epithelium. ...
متن کاملHair cell regeneration in the avian auditory epithelium.
Regeneration of sensory hair cells in the mature avian inner ear was first described just over 20 years ago. Since then, it has been shown that many other non-mammalian species either continually produce new hair cells or regenerate them in response to trauma. However, mammals exhibit limited hair cell regeneration, particularly in the auditory epithelium. In birds and other non-mammals, regene...
متن کاملHair-cell regeneration in organ cultures of the postnatal chicken inner ear.
The sensory epithelium of the avian inner ear retains into adulthood progenitor cells for inner-ear hair cells and other cell types in the epithelium. Hair cells are produced normally on an ongoing basis in the vestibular sensory epithelium, and hair-cell production is increased after insult in both auditory and vestibular sensory epithelia. The details of postnatal hair-cell production are not...
متن کاملProgenitor cell cycling during hair cell regeneration in the vestibular and auditory epithelia of the chick.
We investigated nucleotide-labeling patterns during ongoing hair cell regeneration in the avian vestibular epithelium and during drug-induced regeneration in the avian auditory epithelium. For utricle experiments, post-hatch chicks received an injection of bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) and were allowed to survive from 2 hours to 110 days after the injection. Utricles were fixed and immunoreacted to ...
متن کاملRecent insights into regeneration of auditory and vestibular hair cells.
Advances in hair cell regeneration are progressing at a rapid rate. This review will highlight and critique recent attempts to understand some of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying hair cell regeneration in non-mammalian vertebrates and efforts to induce regeneration in the mammalian inner ear sensory epithelium.
