Different serum thyroxine levels may influence the morphology of the inner ear during development. A well-developed organ of Corti (OC) is considered to be critical to the function of hearing. In our study, we treated mice with triiodothyronine (T3) and found that the opening of the OC occurred sooner than in control mice. We also observed an increased formation of acetylated microtubules and a decrease in the adhesion junction molecule P-cadherin the during opening of the OC. Our investigation indicates that thyroxin affects P-cadherin expression and microtubule acetylation to influence the opening of the OC.
