Abstract
OBJECTIVE Verification that blind and excessive use of antioxidants leads to antioxidant stress which exacerbates cochlear cell damage. STUDY DESIGN Basic research. SETTING The Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University. METHODS We compared and quantified hair cell-like house ear institute-organ of corti 1 (HEI-OC1) cell density, cell viability, and apoptosis caused by different concentrations of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) via Hoechst staining, Cell Counting Kit 8, Hoechst with propidium iodide staining, and Annexin V with propidium iodide (PI) staining. Apoptosis induced by high concentrations of M40403 and coenzyme Q10 in cochlear explants was analyzed and compared by cochlear dissection and activated caspase 3 labeling. RESULTS With the increase of NAC concentration (0-1000 μmol/L), cell density decreased consequently and reached the lowest at 1000 μmol/L (****P ≤ .0001). Cell viability is also declining (**P < .01). The number of Annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled cells and PI-labeled cells increased with increasing NAC concentration after treatment of HEI-OC1 cells for 48 hours. The proportion of apoptotic cells also rose (*P < .05, **P < .01). Cochlear hair cells (HCs) treated with low concentrations of M40403 and coenzyme Q10 for 48 hours showed no damage. When the concentrations of M40403 and coenzyme Q10 were increased (concentrations>30 μmol/L), HC damage began, followed by a dose-dependent increase in HC loss (*P < .001, **P < .0001). Activated caspase-3 was clearly apparent in cochlear explants treated with 50 μmol/L M40403 and coenzyme Q10 compared with cochlear explants without added M40403 and coenzyme Q10. CONCLUSION These experimental results suggest that inappropriate application of antioxidants can cause severe damage to normal cochlear HCs.

Abstract
The metabolite of organophosphate pesticide chlorpyrifos (CPF), 3,5,6-Trichloro-2-pyridinol (TCP), is persistent and mobile toxic substance in soil and water environments, exhibiting cytotoxic, genotoxic, and neurotoxic properties. However, little is known about its effects on the peripheral auditory system. Herein, we investigated the effects of TCP exposure on mouse postnatal day 3 (P3) cochlear culture and an auditory cell line HEI-OC1 to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms of ototoxicity. The damage of TCP to outer hair cells (OHC) and support cells (SC) was observed in a dose and time-dependent manner. OHC and SC were a significant loss from basal to apical turn of the cochlea under exposure over 800 μM TCP for 96 h. As TCP concentrations increased, cell viability was reduced whereas reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, apoptotic cells, and the extent of DNA damage were increased, accordingly. TCP-induced phosphorylation of the p38 and JNK MAPK are the downstream effectors of ROS. The antioxidant agent, N-acetylcysteine (NAC), could reverse TCP-mediated intracellular ROS generation, inhibit the expressive level of cleaved-caspase 3 and block phosphorylation of p38/JNK. Overall, this is the first demonstration of TCP damaging to peripheral sensory HCs and SC in organotypic cultures from the postnatal cochlea. Data also showed that TCP exposure induced oxidase stress, cell apoptosis and DNA damage in the HEI-OC1 cells. These findings serve as an important reference for assessing the risk of TCP exposure.

Abstract
Many environmental factors, such as noise, chemicals, and heavy metals, are mostly produced by human activities and easily induce acquired hearing loss. Organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) constitute a large variety of chemicals and have high usage with potentiate damage to human health. Moreover, their metabolites also show a serious potential contamination of soil, water, and air, leading to a serious impact on people's health. Hearing loss affects 430 million people (5.5% of the global population), bringing a heavy burden to individual patients and their families and society. However, the potential risk of hearing damage by OPs has not been taken seriously. In this study, we summarized the effects of OPs on hearing loss from epidemiological population studies and animal experiments. Furthermore, the possible mechanisms of OP-induced hearing loss are elucidated from oxidative stress, DNA damage, and inflammatory response. Overall, this review provides an overview of OP exposure alone or with noise that leads to hearing loss in human and experimental animals.

Abstract
Here, we developed a safe and highly effective nanocarrier using β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and oligoarginine peptide (Arg8)-modified dendrimer-entrapped gold nanoparticles (Au@CD-PAMAM-Arg8), with a diameter of 5 nm, for improved delivery of dexamethasone (Dex) to the inner ear. The properties and in vivo distribution of the Au@CD-PAMAM-Arg8 were assessed in vitro, and a streptomycin (SM) ototoxicity model was used in vivo. Flow cytometry analysis of HEIOC1 cells treated with Au@CD-PAMAM-Arg8 and Au @CD-PAMAM at different time intervals indicated that cell uptake efficiency of the drug delivery carrier Au@CD-PAMAM-Arg8 was higher than that of Au @CD-PAMAM. Au@CD-PAMAM-Arg8 carrying Dex (Au@CD-PAMAM-Arg8/Dex) were mainly distributed in hair cells, the spiral ganglion, lateral wall, and nerve fibers and had stronger protective effects on the inner ear than Dex administration alone. In vivo tracer tests revealed that tympanic injection was significantly more effective than posterior ear injection, muscle injection, and tail vein injection, whereas clinical retro-auricular injection could not increase the efficiency of drug delivery into the ear. Electrocochleography results showed that Au@CD-PAMAM-Arg8/Dex significantly improved hearing in C57/BL6 mice after SM exposure. These findings indicate that Au@CD-PAMAM-Arg8 may be the useful drug carriers for the treatment of inner ear diseases.

Abstract
Niemann-Pick C1 (NPC1) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease caused by aberrant cholesterol metabolism. The progression of the disease can be slowed by removing excess cholesterol with high-doses of 2-hyroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HPβCD). Unfortunately, HPβCD causes hearing loss; the initial first phase involves a rapid destruction of outer hair cells (OHCs) while the second phase, occurring 4-6 weeks later, involves the destruction of inner hair cells (IHCs), pillar cells, collapse of the organ of Corti and spiral ganglion neuron degeneration. To determine whether the first and/or second phase of HPβCD-induced cochlear damage is linked, in part, to excess oxidative stress or neuroinflammation, rats were treated with a single-dose of 3000 mg/kg HPβCD alone or together with one of two combination therapies. Each combination therapy was administered from 2-days before to 6-weeks after the HPβCD treatment. Combination 1 consisted of minocycline, an antibiotic that suppresses neuroinflammation, and HK-2, a multifunctional redox modulator that suppresses oxidative stress. Combination 2 was comprised of minocycline plus N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), which upregulates glutathione, a potent antioxidant. To determine if either combination therapy could prevent HPβCD-induced hearing impairment and cochlear damage, distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE) were measured to assess OHC function and the cochlear compound action potential (CAP) was measured to assess the function of IHCs and auditory nerve fibers. Cochleograms were prepared to quantify the amount of OHC, IHC and pillar cell (PC) loss. HPβCD significantly reduced DPOAE and CAP amplitudes and caused significant OHC, IHC and OPC losses with losses greater in the high-frequency base of the cochlea than the apex. Neither minocycline + HK-2 (MIN+ HK-2) nor minocycline + NAC (MIN+NAC) prevented the loss of DPOAEs, CAPs, OHCs, IHCs or IPCs caused by HPβCD. These results suggest that oxidative stress and neuroinflammation are unlikely to play major roles in mediating the first or second phase of HPβCD-induced cochlear damage. Thus, HPβCD-induced ototoxicity must be mediated by some other unknown cell-death pathway possibly involving loss of trophic support from damaged support cells or disrupted cholesterol metabolism.

Essential Role of Sptan1 in Cochlear Hair Cell Morphology and Function Via Focal Adhesion Signaling. Mol Neurobiol 2021; 59:386-404.

Abstract
Hearing loss is the most common human sensory deficit. Hearing relies on stereocilia, inserted into the cuticular plate of hair cells (HCs), where they play an important role in the perception of sound and its transmission. Although numerous genes have been associated with hearing loss, the function of many hair cell genes has yet to be elucidated. Herein, we focused on nonerythroid spectrin αII (SPTAN1), abundant in the cuticular plate, surrounding the rootlets of stereocilia and along the plasma membrane. Interestingly, mice with HC-specific Sptan1 knockout exhibited rapid deafness, abnormal formation of stereocilia and cuticular plates, and loss of HCs from middle and apical turns of the cochlea during early postnatal stages. Additionally, Sptan1 deficiency led to the decreased spreading of House Ear Institute-Organ of Corti 1 cells, and induced abnormal formation of focal adhesions and integrin signaling in mouse HCs. Altogether, our findings highlight SPTAN1 as a critical molecule for HC stereocilia morphology and auditory function via regulation of focal adhesion signaling.

Abstract
Excess release of glutamate at the inner hair cell-type I auditory nerve synapse results in excitotoxicity characterized by rapid swelling and disintegration of the afferent synapses, but in some cases, the damage expands to the spiral ganglion soma. Cochlear excitotoxic damage is largely mediated by α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptors (AMPAR) and kainate receptor (KAR) and potentially N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDAR). Because these receptors are developmentally regulated, the pattern of excitotoxic damage could change during development. To test this hypothesis, we compared AMPAR, NMDAR and KAR immunolabeling and excitotoxic damage patterns in rat postnatal day 3 (P3) and adult cochlear cultures. At P3, AMPAR and KAR immunolabeling, but not NMDAR, was abundantly expressed on peripheral nerve terminals adjacent to IHCs. In contrast, AMPAR, KAR and NMDAR immunolabeling was minimal or undetectable on the SGN soma. In adult rats, however, AMPAR, KAR and NMDAR immunolabeling occurred on both peripheral nerve terminals near IHCs as well as the soma of SGNs. High doses of Glu and KA only damaged peripheral nerve terminals near IHCs, but not SGNs, at P3, consistent with selective expression of AMPAR and KAR expression on the terminals. However, in adults, Glu and KA damaged both peripheral nerve terminals near IHCs and SGNs both of which expressed AMPAR and KAR. These results indicate that cochlear excitotoxic damage is closely correlated with structures that express AMPAR and KAR.

Abstract
The prevalence of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) continues to increase, with limited therapies available for individuals with cochlear damage. We have previously established that the transcription factor FOXO3 is necessary to preserve outer hair cells (OHCs) and hearing thresholds up to two weeks following mild noise exposure in mice. The mechanisms by which FOXO3 preserves cochlear cells and function are unknown. In this study, we analyzed the immediate effects of mild noise exposure on wild-type, Foxo3 heterozygous (Foxo3+/-), and Foxo3 knock-out (Foxo3-/-) mice to better understand FOXO3's role(s) in the mammalian cochlea. We used confocal and multiphoton microscopy to examine well-characterized components of noise-induced damage including calcium regulators, oxidative stress, necrosis, and caspase-dependent and caspase-independent apoptosis. Lower immunoreactivity of the calcium buffer Oncomodulin in Foxo3-/- OHCs correlated with cell loss beginning 4 h post-noise exposure. Using immunohistochemistry, we identified parthanatos as the cell death pathway for OHCs. Oxidative stress response pathways were not significantly altered in FOXO3's absence. We used RNA sequencing to identify and RT-qPCR to confirm differentially expressed genes. We further investigated a gene downregulated in the unexposed Foxo3-/- mice that may contribute to OHC noise susceptibility. Glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase domain containing 3 (GDPD3), a possible endogenous source of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), has not previously been described in the cochlea. As LPA reduces OHC loss after severe noise exposure, we treated noise-exposed Foxo3-/- mice with exogenous LPA. LPA treatment delayed immediate damage to OHCs but was insufficient to ultimately prevent their death or prevent hearing loss. These results suggest that FOXO3 acts prior to acoustic insult to maintain cochlear resilience, possibly through sustaining endogenous LPA levels.

Spatiotemporal Developmental Upregulation of Prestin Correlates With the Severity and Location of Cyclodextrin-Induced Outer Hair Cell Loss and Hearing Loss. Front Cell Dev Biol 2021; 9:643709.

Abstract
2-Hyroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HPβCD) is being used to treat Niemann-Pick C1, a fatal neurodegenerative disease caused by abnormal cholesterol metabolism. HPβCD slows disease progression, but unfortunately causes severe, rapid onset hearing loss by destroying the outer hair cells (OHC). HPβCD-induced damage is believed to be related to the expression of prestin in OHCs. Because prestin is postnatally upregulated from the cochlear base toward the apex, we hypothesized that HPβCD ototoxicity would spread from the high-frequency base toward the low-frequency apex of the cochlea. Consistent with this hypothesis, cochlear hearing impairments and OHC loss rapidly spread from the high-frequency base toward the low-frequency apex of the cochlea when HPβCD administration shifted from postnatal day 3 (P3) to P28. HPβCD-induced histopathologies were initially confined to the OHCs, but between 4- and 6-weeks post-treatment, there was an unexpected, rapid and massive expansion of the lesion to include most inner hair cells (IHC), pillar cells (PC), peripheral auditory nerve fibers, and spiral ganglion neurons at location where OHCs were missing. The magnitude and spatial extent of HPβCD-induced OHC death was tightly correlated with the postnatal day when HPβCD was administered which coincided with the spatiotemporal upregulation of prestin in OHCs. A second, massive wave of degeneration involving IHCs, PC, auditory nerve fibers and spiral ganglion neurons abruptly emerged 4–6 weeks post-HPβCD treatment. This secondary wave of degeneration combined with the initial OHC loss results in a profound, irreversible hearing loss.

[PMID: 33900547 DOI: 10.1007/s12640-021-00366-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2021] [Revised: 04/16/2021] [Accepted: 04/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Paraquat, a superoxide generator, can damage the cochlea causing an ototoxic hearing loss. The purpose of the study was to determine if deletion of Bak, a pro-apoptotic gene, would reduce paraquat ototoxicity or if deletion of Sirt3, which delays age-related hearing loss under caloric restriction, would increase paraquat ototoxicity. We tested these two hypotheses by treating postnatal day 3 cochlear cultures from Bak±, Bak-/-, Sirt3±, Sirt3-/-, and WT mice with paraquat and compared the results to a standard rat model of paraquat ototoxicity. Paraquat damaged nerve fibers and dose-dependently destroyed rat outer hair cells (OHCs) and inner hair cells (IHCs). Rat hair cell loss began in the base of the cochlea with a 10 μM dose and as the dose increased from 50 to 500 μM, the hair cell loss increased near the base of the cochlea and spread toward the apex of the cochlea. Rat OHC losses were consistently greater than IHC losses. Unexpectedly, in all mouse genotypes, paraquat-induced hair cell lesions were maximal near the apex of the cochlea and minimal near the base. This unusual damage gradient is opposite to that seen in paraquat-treated rats and in mice and rats treated with other ototoxic drugs. However, paraquat always induced greater OHC loss than IHC loss in all mouse strains. Contrary to our hypothesis, Bak deficient mice were more vulnerable to paraquat ototoxicity than WT mice (Bak-/- > Bak± > WT), suggesting that Bak plays a protective role against hair cell stress. Also, contrary to expectation, Sirt3-deficient mice did not differ significantly from WT mice, possibly due to the fact that Sirt3 was not experimentally upregulated in Sirt3-expressing mice prior to paraquat treatment. Our results show for the first time a gradient of ototoxic damage in mice that is greater in the apex than the base of the cochlea.

Abstract
Because cyclodextrins are capable of removing cholesterol from cell membranes, there is growing interest in using these compounds to treat diseases linked to aberrant cholesterol metabolism. One compound, 2-hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HPβCD), is currently being evaluated as a treatment for Niemann-Pick Type C1 disease, a rare, fatal neurodegenerative disease caused by the buildup of lipids in endosomes and lysosomes. HPβCD can reduce some debilitating symptoms and extend life span, but the therapeutic doses used to treat the disease cause hearing loss. Initial studies in rodents suggested that HPβCD selectively damaged only cochlear outer hair cells during the first week post-treatment. However, our recent in vivo and in vitro studies suggested that the damage could become progressively worse and more extensive over time. To test this hypothesis, we treated rats subcutaneously with 1, 2, 3 or 4 g/kg of HPβCD and waited for 8-weeks to assess the long-term histological consequences. Our new results indicate that the two highest doses of HPβCD caused extensive damage not only to OHC, but also to inner hair cells, pillar cells and other support cells resulting in the collapse and flattening of the sensory epithelium. The 4 g/kg dose destroyed all the outer hair cells and three-fourths of the inner hair cells over the basal two-thirds of the cochlea and more than 85% of the nerve fibers in the habenula perforata and more than 80% of spiral ganglion neurons in the middle of basal turn of the cochlea. The mechanisms that lead to the delayed degeneration of inner hair cells, pillar cells, nerve fibers and spiral ganglion neurons remain poorly understood, but may be related to the loss of trophic support caused by the degeneration of sensory and/or support cells in the organ of Corti. Despite the massive damage to the cochlear sensory epithelium, the blood vessels in the stria vascularis and the vestibular hair cells in the utricle and saccule remained normal.

Abstract
2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD), a cholesterol chelator used to treat Niemann-Pick C1 (NPC1) lysosomal storage disease, causes hearing loss in mammals by preferentially destroying outer hair cells. Because cholesterol plays an important role in early neural development, we hypothesized that HPβCD would cause more extensive damage to postnatal cochlear and vestibular structures in than adult rats. This hypothesis was tested by administering HPβCD to adult rats and postnatal day 3 (P3) cochlear and vestibular organ cultures. Adult rats treated with HPβCD developed hearing impairment and outer hair cell loss 3-day post-treatment; damage increased with dose from the high frequency base toward the low-frequency apex. The HPβCD-induced histopathologies were more severe and widespread in cochlear and vestibular cultures at P3 than in adults. HPβCD destroyed both outer and inner hair cells, auditory nerve fibers and spiral ganglion neurons as well as type I and type II vestibular hair cells and vestibular ganglion neurons. The early stage of HPβCD damage involved disruption of hair cell mechanotransduction and destruction of stereocilia. HPβCD-mediated apoptosis in P3 cultures was most-strongly initiated by activation of the extrinsic caspase-8 cell death pathway in cochlear and vestibular hair cells and neurons followed by activation of executioner caspase-3. Thus, HPβCD is toxic to all types of postnatal cochlear and vestibular hair cells and neurons in vitro whereas in vivo it only appears to destroy outer hair cells in adult cochleae. The more severe HPβCD-induced damage in postnatal cultures could be due to greater drug bioavailability in vitro and/or greater vulnerability of the developing inner ear.

Abstract
2-Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD), a cholesterol chelator, is being used to treat diseases associated with abnormal cholesterol metabolism such as Niemann-Pick C1 (NPC1). However, the high doses of HPβCD needed to slow disease progression may cause hearing loss. Previous studies in mice have suggested that HPβCD ototoxicity results from selective outer hair cell (OHC) damage. However, it is unclear if HPβCD causes the same type of damage or is more or less toxic to other species such as rats, which are widely used in toxicity research. To address these issues, rats were given a subcutaneous injection of HPβCD between 500 and 4000 mg/kg. Distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE), the cochlear summating potential (SP), and compound action potential (CAP) were used to assess cochlear function followed by quantitative analysis of OHC and inner hair cell (IHC) loss. The 3000- and 4000-mg/kg doses abolished DPOAE and greatly reduced SP and CAP amplitudes. These functional deficits were associated with nearly complete loss of OHC as well as ~ 80% IHC loss over the basal two thirds of the cochlea. The 2000-mg/kg dose abolished DPOAE and significantly reduced SP and CAP amplitudes at the high frequencies. These deficits were linked to OHC and IHC losses in the high-frequency region of the cochlea. Little or no damage occurred with 500 or 1000 mg/kg of HPβCD. The HPβCD-induced functional and structural deficits in rats occurred suddenly, involved damage to both IHC and OHC, and were more severe than those reported in mice.

Some Ototoxic Drugs Destroy Cochlear Support Cells Before Damaging Sensory Hair Cells. Neurotox Res 2020; 37:743-752.

Abstract
A wide variety of ototoxic drugs are capable of damaging the sensory hair cells in the mammalian cochlea resulting in permanent hearing loss. However, the toxic properties of these drugs suggest that some could potentially damage cochlear support cells as well. To test the hypothesis, we treated postnatal day three rat cochlear cultures with toxic doses of gentamicin, cisplatin, mefloquine, and cadmium. Gentamicin primarily destroyed the hair cells and disrupted the intercellular connection with the surrounding support cells. Gentamicin-induced hair cell death was initiated through the caspase-9 intrinsic apoptotic pathway followed by activation of downstream executioner caspase-3. In contrast, cisplatin, mefloquine, and cadmium initially damaged the support cells and only later damaged the hair cells. Support cell death was initiated through the caspase-8 extrinsic apoptotic pathway followed later by downstream activation of caspase-3. Cisplatin, mefloquine, and cadmium significantly reduced the expression of actin and laminin, in the extracellular matrix, leading to significant disarray of the sensory epithelium.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Despite widespread use, many herbicides and fungicides are not well studied for neurological effects. Fetal and infant brains are rapidly developing, yet the effects of early-life exposure to these classes of pesticides on visual and auditory function are unknown. Here we examined the effects of prenatal herbicide and fungicide exposure on infant grating visual acuity (VA) and auditory brainstem response (ABR). METHODS 9 herbicides and 13 fungicides were measured in umbilical cord blood plasma from a cohort of infants in Fuyang County, China (n = 232). Grating VA and ABR latencies for waves I, III, V were measured at 3 time points: 6 weeks, 9 months, and 18 months. Outcomes included VA score, ABR wave V latency and ABR central conduction time (CCT [wave V- wave I]). Pesticides were analyzed as 3-level ordinal (non-detect [ND]/medium/high), or dichotomous (ND/detect), depending on detection rates. Linear mixed models were used to evaluate relations between pesticides and VA and ABR outcomes. RESULTS 2,4-dichloroacetic acid (2,4-D), prometryn, simazine, and tetrahydrophthalamide (THPI, a metabolite of captan) were detected in 27%, 81%, 17%, and 16% of samples, respectively. Infants prenatally exposed to 2,4-D had slower auditory response times at 6 weeks. Infants with cord levels of 2,4-D > 1.17 ng/mL had wave V latencies that were 0.12 (95% CI: 0.03, 0.22) ms slower (p = 0.01) and overall CCTs that were 0.15 (95% CI:0.05, 0.25) ms slower (p = 0.003) than infants with non-detectable 2,4-D in their cord blood. No other statistically significant findings were observed for the other herbicides and fungicides or for the grating VA outcome. CONCLUSIONS Prenatal exposure to the herbicide 2,4-D was associated with slower auditory signal transmission in early infancy. ABR latencies reflect auditory pathway maturation and longer latencies may indicate delayed auditory development.
