ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to observe morphological changes of the cultured otocysts isolated from various stages of the chick embryo. Isolated otocysts were dissected from embryonic day, E2.5-4.5 of incubation (HH stage 16-26) according to stages of developing inner ear. Morphology of the chick otocyst exhibited an ovoid shape. The width and height of the otocyst were 0.2 mm and 0.3 mm, respectively. Elongation of a tube-like structure, the endolymphatic duct, was found at the dorsal aspect of the otocyst. The cultured otocyst is lined by the otic epithelium and surrounding periotic mesenchymal cells started to migrate outwards the lateral aspect of such epithelium. Notably, the acoustic-vestibular ganglion (AVG) was observed at the ventrolateral aspect of the otocyst. Appearance of AVG in vitro can be applied for studying chemical-induced ototoxicity and sensorineural hearing loss. It was concluded that the organ-cultured otocyst of the chick embryo could be used as a model to study sensory organ development of avian inner ear.
RESUMEN
El objetivo de este estudio fue observar los cambios morfológicos de otocistos cultivados aislados en las diversas etapas del desarrollo del embrión de pollo. Otocistos aislados fueron obtenidos de embriones día, E2.5-4.5 de incubación (HH etapa 16-26) de acuerdo a las etapas de desarrollo del oído interno. El otocisto de pollo presentó una morfología ovoide. El ancho y la altura del otocisto fue de 0,2 mm y 0,3 mm, respectivamente. En la cara dorsal del otocisto se visualizó el alargamiento de una estructura similar a un tubo, el conducto endolinfático. El otocisto cultivado está revestido por epitelio ótico y células mesenquimatosas perióticas que comienzan a migrar hacia el exterior de la cara lateral en búsqueda del epitelio. En particular, el ganglio acústico-vestibular (GAV) fue observado en la parte ventrolateral del otocisto. La aparición de GAV in vitro puede ser aplicado para el estudio de la ototoxicidad inducida por productos químicos y la pérdida de audición neurosensorial. Se concluyó que el otocisto cultivado de embrión de pollo podría ser utilizado como un modelo para estudiar el desarrollo de órganos sensoriales del oído interno aviar.
