Figure Lengend Snippet: A. in situ hybridization of Fgf10 and Bmp4 and immunostaining of JAG1 (green) on cross sections of E13.5 and E14.5 Ebf1 +/+ and Ebf1 -/- mice cochlear basal-to-middle region. Fgf10 and Bmp4 expression in the Ebf1 -/- mice cochlea was similar to that in Ebf1 +/+ mice cochlea. In contrast, JAG1 expression area of the Ebf1 -/- mice cochlea was expanded toward the more medial side (A, arrowheads) compared with that of Ebf1 +/+ mice cochlea. The prosensory domain is shown in brackets. B . in situ hybridization for Atoh1 on cross sections of E14.5 and E15.5 Ebf1 +/+ and Ebf1 -/- mice cochlear basal-to-middle region. In the inner ear of E14.5, Atoh1 expression was observed in the cochlea and vestibule in Ebf1 +/+ mice, while in Ebf1 -/- mice, Atoh1 expression was observed in the vestibule, but not in the cochlea. In the cochlea of E15.5, Atoh1 was expressed in both Ebf1 +/+ and Ebf1 -/- mice. Areas enclosed by dashed lines indicate cochlear ducts and vestibules. Scale bars: 100μm.
