ObjectiveMutations in the fibrillar collagen genesCOL11A1andCOL11A2can cause sensorineural hearing loss associated with Stickler syndrome. There is a correlation of hearing loss severity, onset, progression and affected frequencies with the underlying mutated collagen gene. We sought to determine whether differences in spatial or temporal expression of these genes underlie this correlation, and to identify the cochlear cell populations expressing these genes and the structures likely to be affected by mutations.Materials and MethodsWe used in situ hybridization analysis of C57BL/6J mouse temporal bones.ResultsSimilar, diffuse expression ofCol11a1andCol11a2mRNA was first observed in the cochlear duct at embryonic Day 15.5, with increasingly focal hybridization being noted at postnatal Days 1 and 5 in the greater epithelial ridge and lateral wall of the cochlea. The greater epithelial ridge appeared to be the main, if not only, source of mRNA encodingCol11a1andCol11a2in the tectorial membrane. At postnatal Day 13,Col11a1andCol11a2expression became more focal and co-localized in the inner sulcus, Claudius’ cells and cells of Boettcher.ConclusionsWe did not observe spatial or temporal differences in mRNA expression that could account for the auditory phenotype–genotype correlation. The expression patterns suggest essential roles forCol11a1andCol11a2in the basilar or tectorial membranes.
