PANX1 expression in the P0 cochlea of the common marmoset. (A–C) PANX1 expression patterns in the P0 cochlea of the common marmoset. PANX1 expression was observed in type I, III, and V spiral ligament fibrocytes (A). No expression was observed in the ATP1A1-positive Type II and IV fibrocytes. PANX1 expression was also observed in the spiral ganglion (B), and in the satellite cells surrounding ATP1A3-positive Type I spiral ganglion neurons (C). Nuclei were counterstained with Hoechst (blue). StV stria vascularis, I type I spiral ligament fibrocytes, II type II spiral ligament fibrocytes, III type III spiral ligament fibrocytes, IV type IV spiral ligament fibrocytes, V type V spiral ligament fibrocytes. Scale bar: 50 μm in (A, B), 20 μm in (C).
