GTP compensation partially restored the hearing impairment caused by myo7aa deficiency. (A–D) YO-PRO-1 staining results of inner ear hair cells were observed in sibling (A), myo7aa−/− (B), GTP-compensated sibling (C), and myo7aa−/− (D) embryos at 5 dpf. (E,F) The relative expression of some genes in the cellular endocytic pathway (E) and G protein signaling pathway (F) is examined between WT, myo7aa−/−, and GTP-compensated myo7aa−/− embryos at 3 dpf is examined. (G,H) The movement distance (G) and reaction speed (H) of wild WT, myo7aa−/−, and GTP-compensated myo7aa−/− embryos are measured within 0.3 s after acoustic stimulation at 5 dpf are measured. n = 20; mean with SEM; with ANOVA, ****p < 0.0001, **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05, nsp > 0.05.
