چکیده

OBJECTIVE Administration of an aminoglycoside antibiotic and loop diuretic causes damage to hair cells in the organ of Corti, resulting in their death and the death of their corresponding spiral ganglion neurons. While this phenomenon has been studied previously, analysis of its effects in the whole cochlea has not been reported. The authors sought to evaluate the effects of a combination dose of kanamycin and furosemide in mice cochlea using an imaging system and computer analysis that allowed for nondestructive, whole-cochlea visualization. STUDY DESIGN Study using an animal model. SETTING Cochlear analysis laboratory. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Five mice received kanamycin and furosemide and 3 mice received saline. Cochleas were harvested and imaged with scanning thin-sheet laser imaging microscopy (sTSLIM) to analyze sensory cells and cochlea structures. RESULTS The drug-treated animals showed substantial loss of inner hair cells and complete outer hair cell loss. All treated mice showed spiral ganglion neuron loss with fewer neurons than control animals and decreased cell density in the middle turn of the cochlea. The spiral ligament and spiral limbus in the treated animals also showed a decrease in fibrocyte cell density in the middle to apical portion of the cochlea. The stria vascularis appeared normal in all animals. CONCLUSION Imaging methods that allow for whole-cochlea analysis provide insight into changes that occur in the cochlea after ototoxic insult. Trends that may not be apparent in cross-section samples of the cochlea can be observed. Computer analysis of these trends allows them to be assessed accurately.

Novel Peptide Vaccine GV1001 Rescues Hearing in Kanamycin/Furosemide-Treated Mice

The cell-penetrating peptide GV1001 has been investigated as an anticancer agent and recently demonstrated anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. It has shown a protective effect on a kanamycin (KM)-induced ototoxicity mouse model. In the present study, we administered GV1001 at different time points after inducing hair cell damage, and examined if it rescues hair cell loss and restores he...

A Simple Model for Inducing Optimal Increase of SDF-1 with Aminoglycoside Ototoxicity

Objectives As a homing factor of stem cell, stromal derived factor-1 (SDF-1) is important for the regenerative research in ototoxicity. Mice models with aminoglycoside ototoxicity have been widely used to study the regeneration capacity of MSCs in repair of cochlear injury. We developed a mouse model with maximal increase in SDF-1 levels in the inner ear, according to the "one-shot" doses of ka...

Mechanism of alpha-lipoic acid in attenuating kanamycin-induced ototoxicity☆

In view of the theory that alpha-lipoic acid effectively prevents cochlear cells from injury caused by various factors such as cisplatin and noise, this study examined whether alpha-lipoic acid can prevent kanamycin-induced ototoxicity. To this end, healthy BALB/c mice were injected subcutaneously with alpha-lipoic acid and kanamycin for 14 days. Auditory brainstem response test showed that inc...

Expression of EFR3A in the Mouse Cochlea during Degeneration of Spiral Ganglion following Hair Cell Loss

Retrograde degeneration of spiral ganglion cells in the cochlea following hair cell loss is similar to dying back in pathology. The EFR3A gene has recently been discovered to be involved in the pathogenesis of dying back. The relationship of EFR3A and spiral ganglion degeneration, however, was rarely investigated. In this study, we destroyed the hair cells of the mouse cochlea by co-administrat...
