This study examined the presence of NaK-ATPase isoforms in the developing inner ear of the rat and studied the importance of functional subunit combinations in endolymph homeostasis. The findings were: (a) the combination alpha 1 beta 1 is found in epithelial, mesenchymal, and neural inner ear cells with an early starting expression 14 days postconception (dpc) in some endolymphatic sac cells; (b) from 1 day after birth (dab) expression of alpha 1 beta 2 is observed in marginal cells, vestibular dark cells, and certain vestibular nonsensory cells; (c) a transient expression of alpha 2 beta 1 is found in suprastrial fibrocytes and spiral ligament fibrocytes type II between 10 and 15 dab; (d) starting at 16 dpc the combination alpha 3 beta 1 is uniquely expressed in inner ear neural cells (as in other neural tissues). In conclusion, during development a switch from alpha 2 beta 1 towards alpha 1 beta 1 is observed in suprastrial fibrocytes and in spiral ligament fibrocytes type II. Thus, according to the biochemical characteristics of these combinations, a switch towards a NaK-ATPase with higher capacity takes place. In addition, prominent expression of the alpha 1 beta 2 combination in predominantly K+ ion transporting marginal and dark cells is in accordance with the characteristic of this combination and thus with the presumed function of these cells as important K+ suppliers for the endolymph. We believe this combination in certain vestibular nonsensory cells to be involved in K+ sensing. Early expression of the alpha 1 beta 1 combination in the endolymphatic sac, prior to that in the other parts of the inner ear, suggests that this structure may be involved to some extent in the development of the vestibulum and cochlea.
