To investigate the molecular background of vestibular compensation, a model of lesion-induced plasticity, we used a microarray analysis to examine genes that show asymmetrical expression between the bilateral vestibular nucleus complexes (VNCs) 6 h following unilateral vestibular deafferentation (UVD). Asymmetrical gene expression was then validated by a real-time quantitative PCR. Among the 88 genes for which the ipsilateral (ipsi) : contralateral (contra) was > 1.35, the number of known genes was 33 (38%), and the number of expressed sequence tag (EST) sequences was 55 (62%). Among the 130 genes for which the contra : ipsi was > 1.35, the number of known genes was 55 (42%), and the number of EST sequences was 75 (58%). Changes in some of the genes were consistent with previous studies; however, we found several new genes which could be functionally related to the molecular basis of the electrophysiological asymmetry between the VNCs following UVD. Ipsi > contra genes included the GABA(A) receptor rho subunit, regulatory proteins of G protein signaling, calcium signaling related molecules such as the voltage-dependent calcium channel alpha2/delta subunit 1, calcineurin subunit Abeta and Ca(2+) pump. Contra > ipsi genes included the neuronal high affinity glutamate transporter, 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 1D, mitogen-activated protein kinase 12 and ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase L1.
