Abstract
Differential display analysis of differential mRNA expression in the rat inner ear under hypergravity identified two down- and four up-regulated genes. The up-regulation of microtubule associated protein 1A (MAP1A) in one of these was confirmed by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Since MAP1A is believed to work as a cell stabilizer connecting the actin with microtubule, this is possibly a response to strengthen this stabilizer under hypergravity. The MAP1A gene is the first found to be affected by gravity change in the inner ear.
