The inner ear is a complex sensorial structure with auditory and vestibular functions. The developing otic epithelium gives rise to neurosensory and non-sensory elements of the adult membranous labyrinth. Extrinsic and intrinsic signals manage the patterning and cell specification of the developing otic epithelium by the establishment of lineage-restricted compartments defined in turn by differential expressions of regulatory genes. FGF3 and FGF16 are excellent candidates to govern these developmental events. In the chick, we showed that Fgf3 expression was present in the borders of all developing cristae. Strong Fgf16 expressions were detected in a portion of the developing vertical and horizontal pouches, whereas the cristae showed weaker or undetected Fgf16 expressions at different developmental stages. Concerning the rest of the vestibular sensory elements, both the utricular and saccular maculae were Fgf3 positive. Interestingly, a strong Fgf16 expression delimited these Fgf16-negative sensory patches. The Fgf3-negative macula neglecta and Fgf3-positive macula lagena were included within weakly Fgf16-expressing areas. Therefore, different FGF-mediated mechanisms might regulate the specification of the anterior (utricular and saccular) and posterior (neglecta and lagena) maculae. In the developing cochlear duct, the dynamic Fgf3 and Fgf16 expressions suggest their co-operation in the early specification and later cell differentiation in the hearing system. The requirement of Fgf3 and Fgf16 genes in endolymphatic apparatus development and neurogenesis are discussed. Based on these observations, FGF3 and FGF16 appear to be key signaling pathways to control the inner ear plan by means of defining epithelial identities within the developing otic epithelium.
