Abstract
Ménière's disease (MD) is characterized by an abnormal dilatation of the endolymphatic compartment called endolymphatic hydrops and is associated with fluctuating hearing losses and vertigo. Corticosteroid treatment is typically administered for its anti-inflammatory effects to MD patients. However, we recently described for the first time a direct interaction of two corticosteroids (dexamethasone and cortisol) with human AQP2 which strongly inhibited water fluxes. From these initial studies, we proposed an AQPs Corticosteroids Binding Site (ACBS). In the present work, we tested the interaction of 10 molecules associated to the steroid family for this putative ACBS. We observed a wide diversity of affinity and inhibitory potential of these molecules toward AQP2 and discussed the implications for inner ear physiology. Among the tested compounds, cholecalciferol, calcitriol and oestradiol were the most efficient AQP2 water permeability inhibitors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The low luminal Ca2+ concentration of mammalian endolymph in the inner ear is required for normal hearing and balance. We recently reported the expression of mRNA for a Ca2+-absorptive transport system in primary cultures of semicircular canal duct (SCCD) epithelium. RESULTS We now identify this system in native vestibular and cochlear tissues by qRT-PCR, immunoblots and confocal immunolocalization. Transcripts were found and quantified for several isoforms of epithelial calcium channels (TRPV5, TRPV6), calcium buffer proteins (calbindin-D9K, calbindin-D28K), sodium-calcium exchangers (NCX1, NCX2, NCX3) and plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase (PMCA1, PMCA2, PMCA3, and PMCA4) in native SCCD, cochlear lateral wall (LW) and stria vascularis (SV) of adult rat as well as Ca2+ channels in neonatal SCCD. All components were expressed except TRPV6 in SV and PMCA2 in SCCD. 1,25-(OH)2vitamin D3 (VitD) significantly up-regulated transcripts of TRPV5 in SCCD, calbindin-D9K in SCCD and LW, NCX2 in LW, while PMCA4 in SCCD and PMCA3 in LW were down-regulated. The expression of TRPV5 relative to TRPV6 was in the sequence SV > Neonatal SCCD > Adult SCCD > LW > primary culture SCCD. Expression of TRPV5 protein from primary culture of SCCD did not increase significantly when cells were incubated with VitD (1.2 times control; P > 0.05). Immunolocalization showed the distribution of TRPV5 and TRPV6. TRPV5 was found near the apical membrane of strial marginal cells and both TRPV5 and TRPV6 in outer and inner sulcus cells of the cochlea and in the SCCD of the vestibular system. CONCLUSIONS These findings demonstrate for the first time the expression of a complete Ca2+ absorptive system in native cochlear and vestibular tissues. Regulation by vitamin D remains equivocal since the results support the regulation of this system at the transcript level but evidence for control of the TRPV5 channel protein was lacking.

Abstract
Calbindin (CB) and S100 are calcium-binding proteins expressed in the inner ear in vertebrates. Information about their developmental roles is incomplete. This study investigated the expression patterns of CB and S100 in C3H mice using immunohistochemistry, from embryonic day 11 (E11) to postnatal day 10 (P10). CB was expressed in the otocyst and vestibulocochlear ganglion (VCG) from E11. In the cochlea at E17, CB immunoreactivity clearly labeled the VCG, the outer and inner hair cells, and the stria vascularis. CB staining was also present in the vestibular sensory cells, including their nerve fibers. Two days later, to this expression pattern was added the labeling of Kölliker's organ. Early postnatal CB expression encompassed VCG neurons, auditory hair cells, their afferent nerve fibers, and cells of the cochlear lateral wall. The first signs of S100 immunostaining of cochlear and vestibular epithelial cells appeared at E14. At E17 S100 immunoreactivity was found in a restricted expression pattern in the cochlea. Immunostaining was also present in the sacculus and utriculus and their afferent fibers. The Deiters', pillar and inner hair cells, and the VCG were S100-positive from E19. Postnatally, S100 staining also appeared in the inner hair cells and Deiters' cells, in some VCG neurons, and, in addition, in the spiral limbus, the spiral prominence, and the intermediate cells of the stria vascularis. This study demonstrates that the sites of CB and S100 expression in the mouse inner ear during embryonic and early postnatal development do not overlap and signal independent developmental patterns.

Abstract
The immunolocalization of three members of the S100 calcium-binding protein family was investigated in the dog cochlea during normal postnatal development. Sections of decalcified and paraffin-embedded cochleae from 16 beagle puppies aged from birth to 3 months were treated with polyclonal antisera raised against the human recombinant S100A1, S100A5, and S100A6 proteins. At birth, in the dog cochlea, S100A1 was expressed in the immature Deiter's cells, and slightly in the pillar cells. From the second week, S100A1 was detected in the supporting structures of the organ of Corti, i.e. the Deiter's, the pillar, the border, and the Hensen's cells, and in the reticular membrane. From birth onwards, S100A5 remained a neuronal-specific protein, only located in a subpopulation of neurons in the spiral ganglion. S100A6 was not expressed at birth. From the second week of life, the Schwann cells and nerve sheaths in the modiolus, in the spiral ganglion, and running in the direction of the organ of Corti exhibited S100A6-labeling. From the 12th postnatal day, some scattered intermediate cells started to express S100A6 protein in the stria vascularis. The number of labeled intermediate cells increased during the third week. At adult stage, the intermediate cells were S100A6-stained with cytoplasmic labeling throughout the stria vascularis from the base to the apex of the cochlea. None of the other cochlear structures expressed the S100 proteins under study during the postnatal development of the dog cochlea. The S100A1, S100A5, S100A6 immunostaining was limited to specific cell types in dog cochlea. These S100 proteins were useful markers in the study of supporting cells, neurons, nerve fibers sheaths and stria vascularis (S100A6) during the normal postnatal development of the dog cochlea.

Abstract
Airway epithelia are confronted with distinct signals emanating from the luminal and/or serosal environments. This study tested whether airway epithelia exhibit polarized intracellular free calcium (Ca(2+)(i)) and anion secretory responses to 5' triphosphate nucleotides (ATP/UTP), which may be released across both barriers of these epithelia. In both normal and cystic fibrosis (CF) airway epithelia, mucosal exposure to ATP/UTP increased Ca(2+)(i) and anion secretion, but both responses were greater in magnitude for CF epithelia. In CF epithelia, the mucosal nucleotide-induced response was mediated exclusively via Ca(2+)(i) interacting with a Ca(2+)-activated Cl(-) channel (CaCC). In normal airway epithelia (but not CF), nucleotides stimulated a component of anion secretion via a chelerythrine-sensitive, Ca(2+)-independent PKC activation of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator. In normal and CF airway epithelia, serosally applied ATP or UTP were equally effective in mobilizing Ca(2+)(i). However, serosally applied nucleotides failed to induce anion transport in CF epithelia, whereas a PKC-regulated anion secretory response was detected in normal airway epithelia. We conclude that (1) in normal nasal epithelium, apical/basolateral purinergic receptor activation by ATP/UTP regulates separate Ca(2+)-sensitive and Ca(2+)-insensitive (PKC-mediated) anion conductances; (2) in CF airway epithelia, the mucosal ATP/UTP-dependent anion secretory response is mediated exclusively via Ca(2+)(i); and (3) Ca(2+)(i) regulation of the Ca(2+)-sensitive anion conductance (via CaCC) is compartmentalized in both CF and normal airway epithelia, with basolaterally released Ca(2+)(i) failing to activate CaCC in both epithelia.

Abstract
The calbindin (CB) and the calretinin (CR) immunoreactivities were studied in the dog cochlea during its postnatal maturation from birth to the 33rd postnatal day. At birth, CB was expressed in the Kölliker's organ, in the immature inner (IHC) and outer hair cells (OHC), in neurons of the spiral ganglion, and in nerve fibers running in the basilar membrane of the apical turn. During the cochlear maturation, non-sensorineuronal structures, such as the Kölliker's organ, the rods of Corti, and the inner sulcus cells, displayed a transient CB-staining. In the adult-like dog cochlea, CB was found in the cytoplasm, the cuticular plate, and the stereocilia of the IHC and OHC. All the neurons of the spiral ganglion and some nerves fibers in the modulius were CB-positive. At birth, CR exhibited a neuronal distribution: about 75% of the spiral ganglion neurons, some nerve fibers in the modulius and nerve fibers running in the basilar membrane were CR-labeled. During the postnatal maturation, a CR-immunostaining appeared around the IHC body and CR was expressed transiently in the OHC. In the adult-like dog cochlea, a CR-positive network surrounded the unlabeled IHC. The neuronal CR-labeling remained unchanged from birth.

Abstract
We used a high-performance fluorescence imaging system to visualize rapid changes in intracellular free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) evoked by focal applications of extracellular ATP to the hair bundle of outer hair cells (OHCs): the sensory-motor receptors of the cochlea. Simultaneous recordings of the whole-cell current and Calcium Green-1 fluorescence showed a two-component increase in [Ca(2+)](i). After an initial entry of Ca(2+) through the apical membrane, a second and larger, inositol triphosphate (InsP(3))-gated, [Ca(2+)](i) surge occurred at the base of the hair bundle. Electron microscopy of this intracellular Ca(2+) release site showed that it coincides with the localization of a unique system of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membranes and mitochondria known as Hensen's body. Using confocal immunofluorescence microscopy, we showed that InsP(3) receptors share this location. Consistent with a Ca(2+)-mobilizing second messenger system linked to ATP-P2 receptors, we also determined that an isoform of G-proteins is present in the stereocilia. Voltage-driven cell shape changes and nonlinear capacitance were monitored before and after ATP application, showing that the ATP-evoked [Ca(2+)](i) rise did not interfere with the OHC electromotility mechanism. This second messenger signaling mechanism bypasses the Ca(2+)-clearance power of the stereocilia and transiently elevates [Ca(2+)](i) at the base of the hair bundle, where it can potentially modulate the action of unconventional myosin isozymes involved in maintaining the hair bundle integrity and potentially influence mechanotransduction.
