Brimonidine protects IHC ribbon synapses and SGNs from noise-induced hearing loss

ABSTRACT: Exposure to excessive noise levels can result in hearing impairment. Currently, there are no effective pharmacological interventions available for the prevention of noise-induced hearing loss. This study was designed to investigate the protective effects of brimonidine, an α2-adrenergic receptor agonist, against noise-induced inner ear damage in mice, as well as to explore the underlying mechanisms. Eight-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were randomly assigned to one of three experimental groups: a control group, a noise exposure (NE) group (exposed to broadband noise, 8–16 kHz, at 100 dB SPL for 2 hours), and a brimonidine-treated group (which received intraperitoneal injections of 1 mg/kg brimonidine prior to noise exposure). Our findings demonstrate that brimonidine significantly attenuates noise-induced hearing loss in young adult mice. Furthermore, brimonidine markedly reduces glutamate (Glu) accumulation in the inner ear. RNA sequencing analysis suggests that brimonidine exerts its protective effects, in part, through the downregulation of inflammatory cytokines and immunoglobulin-related pathways. These results indicate that brimonidine is a promising pharmacological agent for the prevention of noise-induced hearing loss.

Single-cell gene expression profile of adult cochlea in NIHL vs. VPA-NIHL

Project description:Hearing functions through the mechanical transduction of inner ear sensory cells, hair cells, and their connections to the auditory neurons, which convert the stimuli into electrical signals to be detected by the brain. Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) caused by exposure to excessively sounds cannot be medically corrected. Strategies to overcome the apparently irreversible noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) in mammals become paramount for hearing treatment. The drug has been reported in attenuating inflammation in different species. Here, we tested the effect of the drug in acoustic trauma. We carried out single-cell RNA sequencing to examine the gene expression profiles comparing Drug group with Untreated group in response to the acoustic trauma.

Therapeutic Restoration of miR-96 Prevents Hearing Loss in Mice through Modulation of Noise-Induced and Genetic Pathways

Project description:Hearing loss often arises from impairments in multiple genes, complicating therapeutic development. MicroRNAs, as master regulators, offer promising targets for complex diseases. We explored miR-96’s roles in hair cell (HC) function and noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL), finding that miR-96-/-, not miR-96+/-, mice exhibited progressive hearing loss due to gene regulatory network dysregulation from miR-96 loss in HCs not spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs). Viral-mediated delivery of miR-96 into the inner ear partially rescued hearing of miR-96-/- mice. Tamoxifen-induced depletion of miR-96 in adult UBCCreERT2/+; miR-96fl/fl mice led to hearing loss, with Bach2, Gabra2, Gabra4, Grk1 up-regulation, and Tnn, Col11a1, Gjb3 and Hnf4a down-regulation. Furthermore, noise trauma reduced miR-96, altering Bach2, Bcl2l1, Slc26a9, Gabrb1, Grk1, Nos2 and Cyp1a1 expression, while miR-96 overexpression protected hearing against noise by reversing the expression of Bach2, Bcl2l1 and Cyp1a1. Our findings underscore miR-96’s essential role in adult hearing maintenance and NIHL prevention, presenting it as a promising therapeutic target.

Treatment of noise-induced hearing loss by mesenchymal stromal cells: an RNAseq analysis of protective/repair pathways

Project description:Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are an adult derived stem cell-like population that has been shown to mediate repair in a wide range of degenerative disorders. The protective effects of MSCs are mainly mediated by the release of growth factors and cytokines thereby modulating the diseased environment and the immune system. Within the inner ear, MSCs have been shown protective against tissue damage induced by sound and a variety of ototoxins. To better understand the mechanism of action of MSCs in the inner ear, mice were exposed to narrow band noise. After exposure, MSCs derived from human umbilical cord Wharton’s jelly were injected into the perilymph. RNAseq analysis of gene expression changes induced by MSCs was compared to sound trauma only treated animals.

Cochlear single-cell gene expression profiles in mice with noise-induced hidden hearing loss and noise-induced hearing loss.

Project description:Noise-induced hidden hearing loss (HHL) is a new type of hearing loss that has been identified in recent years and leads to insidious damage to the cochlea, unlike the well-known noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). However, the cellular and molecular basis for it remains to be elucidated. Here, we established a single-cell transcriptome profile of the C57BL/6J mouse cochlea, in which we describe the transcriptome changes of individual cell types within the cochlea with HHL and NIHL. Mice in the HHL group were exposed to 110 dB of noise for 2 hours, and those in the NIHL group were exposed to 115 dB of noise for 4 hours for 3 days. The cochlea was taken 6 hours after the last noise exposure. The control group was not exposed to noise, with other conditions being the same as those in the noise-exposed group. The results of sequencing at the single-cell level help us gain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of the development of HHL and NIHL.

An LCMS-based untargeted metabolomics protocol for cochlear perilymph: highlighting metabolic effects of hydrogen gas on the inner ear of noise exposed Guinea pigs

Project description:<h4><strong>INTRODUCTION:</strong> Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is an increasing problem in society and accounts for a third of all cases of acquired hearing loss. NIHL is caused by formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the cochlea causing oxidative stress. Hydrogen gas (H<sub>2</sub>) can alleviate the damage caused by oxidative stress and can be easily administered through inhalation.</h4><h4><strong>OBJECTIVES:</strong> To present a protocol for untargeted metabolomics of guinea pig perilymph and investigate the effect of H<sub>2</sub> administration on the perilymph metabolome of noise exposed guinea pigs.</h4><h4><strong>METHODS:</strong> The left ear of guinea pigs were exposed to hazardous impulse noise only (Noise, n = 10), noise and H<sub>2</sub> (Noise + H2, n = 10), only H<sub>2</sub> (H2, n = 4), or untreated (Control, n = 2). Scala tympani perilymph was sampled from the cochlea of both ears. The polar component of the perilymph metabolome was analyzed using a HILIC-UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS-based untargeted metabolomics protocol. Multivariate data analysis (MVDA) was performed separately for the exposed- and unexposed ear.</h4><h4><strong>RESULTS:</strong> MVDA allowed separation of groups Noise and Noise + H2 in both the exposed and unexposed ear and yielded 15 metabolites with differentiating relative abundances. Seven were found in both exposed and unexposed ear data and included two osmoprotectants. Eight metabolites were unique to the unexposed ear and included a number of short-chain acylcarnitines.</h4><h4><strong>CONCLUSIONS:</strong> A HILIC-UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS-based protocol for untargeted metabolomics of perilymph is presented and shown to be fit-for-purpose. We found a clear difference in the perilymph metabolome of noise exposed guinea pigs with and without H<sub>2</sub> treatment.</h4>

Human cochlear gene expression

Project description:Transcriptome analysis of human inner ear tissue Hearing loss is common and caused by a wide range of molecular and cellular pathologies. Current diagnosis of hearing loss depends of a combination of physiologic testing, patient history and in some cases genetic testing. Currently no biopsy or equivalent procedure exists to diagnose inner ear disorders. The goal of this study was to determine if miRNAs could be identified in human perilymph potentially leading to the development of biomarkers for inner ear disease. Analysis of miRNAs was carried out by evaluating miRNA targets in a cochlear transcriptome library (GSE128505) derived from human inner ear tissue harvested during surgery in which the inner ear is removed.

Quaking dysregulation contributes to demyelination and functional decline of the mouse auditory nerve after noise exposure

Project description:Myelinating glia in the auditory system enclose auditory nerve fibers, providing an insulating effect that facilitates rapid transfer of auditory information from the ear to the brain. Here we show that noise exposure at the levels sufficient for inducing hearing loss cause a rapid cellular and molecular response on myelinating glia that precedes neuron degeneration. The response is characterized by inflammatory response, myelin dysmorphology and widespread changes in myelin-related gene expression. Another characteristic was change in expression of the quaking gene (QKI), which encodes a group of RNA binding proteins that are enriched in myelinating glia. Changes in QKI were accompanied by changes in numerous known and potential QKI target genes, including many genes associated with myelination. Our results implicate QKI as a critical early component in the noise response, influencing glia dysfunction that leads to auditory nerve demyelination and, ultimately, sensorineural hearing loss.
