RNA-seq analysis of gene expression profiles in isolated stria vascularis from wild-type and Alport mice reveals key pathways underling Alport strial pathogenesis.

Brianna Dufek, Daniel T Meehan, Duane Delimont, Kevin Wilhelm et al. • PLoS ONE (2020)

Previous work demonstrates that the hearing loss in Alport mice is caused by defects in the stria vascularis. As the animals age, progressive thickening of strial capillary basement membranes (SCBMs) occurs associated with elevated levels o...
