Abstract
<p class="1Body">In an experimental model of organotypic cultures of the stria vascularis (SV), the organ of Corti (OC) and the modiolus (MOD), we compared the expression levels and injury/hypoxia induced response of 36 genes associated with the cells´ energy-producing and energy-consuming processes, using the microarray technique. A decrease of expression was observed for most of the voltage-dependent K<sup>+</sup>- and Ca<sup>++</sup>- channels as an effective mechanism to lower energetic demands. We identified two gene networks of transcripts that are differentially expressed across the three regions. One cluster is associated with the transcription factor hypoxia-inducing factor (<em>Hif-1a</em>) and the second one with the caspase and calpain cell death genes <em>Casp3, Capn1, Capn2</em> and <em>Capns1</em>. The <em>Hif-1a</em> gene subset consists of genes belonging to the glucose metabolism (glucose transporter <em>Slc2a1</em>, glycolytic enzymes <em>Gapdh</em>, <em>Hk1</em> and <em>Eno2</em>), the Na<sup>+</sup>/K<sup>+</sup> homeostasis (ATPase <em>Atp1a1</em>) and the glutamate pathway (NMDA receptor associated protein 1 <em>Grina</em>, glutamate transporter <em>Slc1a1</em>, <em>Slc1a3</em>). The <em>Slc2a1</em>, <em>Gapdh</em>, <em>Hk1</em>, <em>Slc1a3</em>, <em>Grina</em> and <em>Atp1a1</em> transcripts are also members of the cell death subset indicating a role they have to play in the differential regional cell death rates. The newly identified genes <em>Grina</em> and calnexin (<em>Canx</em>) may play specific and yet unknown roles in regulating cell death induced by injury and hypoxia in the inner ear. We assume that the differential regional response occurs on the basis of endogenous gene regulatory mechanisms and may be important to maintaining the cochlea’s function following damage from trauma and hypoxia.</p>

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
