The expression pattern and inhibitory influence of Tenascin-C on the growth of spiral ganglion neurons suggest a regulatory role as boundary formation molecule in the postnatal mouse inner ear
Tenascin-C is expressed in the organ of Corti and synaptic regions of the postnatal mouse cochlea.
•
Tenascin-C and Fibronectin are anti-adhesive substrates for spiral ganglion neurons.
•
The DSD-1 epitope is expressed at hair cell stereocilia and spiral ganglion neurites.
•
Tenascin-C may act as an important boundary formation molecule during neuritogenesis in the cochlea.
•
Tenascin-C is a promising candidate to regulate neurite growth in cochlear implants.
