Abstract
Primary cilia (PC) are non-motile and microtube-based organelles protruding from the surface of almost all thyroid follicle cells. They maintain homeostasis in thyrocytes and loss of PC can result in diverse thyroid diseases. The dysfunction of structure and function of PC are found in many patients with common thyroid diseases. The alterations are associated with the cause, development, and recovery of the diseases and are regulated by PC-mediated signals. Restoring normal PC structure and function in thyrocytes is a promising therapeutic strategy to treat thyroid diseases. This review explores the function of PC in normal thyroid glands. It summarizes the pathology caused by PC alterations in thyroid cancer (TC), autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD), hypothyroidism, and thyroid nodules (TN) to provide comprehensive references for further study.

Abstract
Vestibular dysfunction is the most common comorbidity associated with childhood sensorineural hearing loss. Early identification of vestibular dysfunction enables early intervention to mitigate its impact of motor, behavioral, and neurocognitive deficits of developing children. Screening for vestibular impairment can be achieved in the busy clinical setting.

Abstract
Primary cilia (PC) are microtubule-based organelles that are present on nearly all thyroid follicle cells and play an important role in physiological development and in maintaining the dynamic homeostasis of thyroid follicles. PC are generally lost in many thyroid cancers (TCs), and this loss has been linked to the malignant transformation of thyrocytes, which is regulated by PC-mediated signaling reciprocity between the stroma and cancer cells. Restoring PC on TC cells is a possible promising therapeutic strategy, and the therapeutic response and prognosis of TC are associated with the presence or absence of PC. This review mainly discusses the role of PC in the normal thyroid and TC as well as their potential clinical utility.

Abstract
Although tumours initiate from oncogenic changes in a cancer cell, subsequent tumour progression and therapeutic response depend on interactions between the cancer cells and the tumour microenvironment (TME). The primary monocilium, or cilium, provides a spatially localized platform for signalling by Hedgehog, Notch, WNT and some receptor tyrosine kinase pathways and mechanosensation. Changes in ciliation of cancer cells and/or cells of the TME during tumour development enforce asymmetric intercellular signalling in the TME. Growing evidence indicates that some oncogenic signalling pathways as well as some targeted anticancer therapies induce ciliation, while others repress it. The links between the genomic profile of cancer cells, drug treatment and ciliary signalling in the TME likely affect tumour growth and therapeutic response.

Abstract
Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in children occurs in 1 to 3% of live births and acquired hearing loss can additionally occur. This sensory deficit has far reaching consequences that have been shown to extend beyond speech and language development. Thankfully there are many therapeutic options that exist for these children with the aim of decreasing the morbidity of their hearing impairment. Of late, focus has shifted beyond speech and language outcomes to the overall performance of children with SNHL in real-world environments. To account for their residual deficits in such environments, clinicians must understand the extent of their sensory impairments. SNHL commonly coexists with other sensory deficits such as vestibular loss. Vestibular impairment is exceedingly common in children with SNHL with nearly half of children exhibiting vestibular end-organ dysfunction. These deficits naturally lead to impairments in balance and delay in motor milestones. However, this additional sensory deficit likely leads to further impairment in the performance of these children. This article focuses on the following: 1. Defining the coexistence of vestibular impairment in children with SNHL and cochlear implants. 2. Describing screening methods aimed at identifying vestibular dysfunction in children with SNHL. 3. Understanding the functional implications of this dual-sensory impairment. 4. Exploring possible rehabilitative strategies to minimize the impact of vestibular impairment in children with SNHL.

Abstract
Carboplatin, a second-generation platinum chemotherapeutic drug, is considerably less ototoxic than cisplatin. While common laboratory species such as mice, guinea pigs and rats are highly resistant to carboplatin ototoxicity, the chinchilla stands out as highly susceptible. Moreover, carboplatin causes an unusual gradient of cell death in chinchillas. Moderate doses selectively damage type I spiral ganglion neurons (SGN) and inner hair cells (IHC) and the lesion tends to be relatively uniform along the length of the cochlea. Higher doses eventually damage outer hair cells (OHC), but the lesion follows the traditional gradient in which damage is more severe in the base than the apex. While carboplatin ototoxicity has been well documented in adult animals in vivo, little is known about its in vitro toxicity. To elucidate the ototoxic effects of carboplatin in vitro, we prepared cochlear and vestibular organotypic cultures from postnatal day 3 rats and adult chinchillas. Chinchilla cochlear and vestibular cultures were treated with carboplatin concentrations ranging from 50 µM to 10 mM for 48 h. Consistent with in vivo data, carboplatin selectively damaged IHC at low concentrations (50-100 µM). Surprisingly, IHC loss decreased at higher doses and IHC were intact at doses exceeding 500 µM. The mechanisms underlying this nonlinear response are unclear but could be related to a decrease in carboplatin uptake via active transport mechanisms (e.g., copper). Unlike the cochlea, the carboplatin dose-response function increased with dose with the highest dose destroying all chinchilla vestibular hair cells. Cochlear hair cells and auditory nerve fibers in rat cochlear organotypic cultures were unaffected by carboplatin concentrations <10 µM; however, the damage in OHC were more severe than IHC once the dose reached 100 µM. A dose at 500 µM destroyed all the cochlear hair cells, but hair cell loss decreased at high concentrations and nearly all the cochlear hair cells were present at the highest dose, 5 mM. Unlike the nonlinear dose-response seen with cochlear hair cells, rat auditory nerve fiber and spiral ganglion losses increased with doses above 50 µM with the highest dose destroying virtually all SGN. The remarkable species differences seen in vitro suggest that chinchilla IHC and type I SGN posse some unique biological mechanism that makes them especially vulnerable to carboplatin toxicity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Drug ototoxicity represents one of the main preventable causes of deafness. Ototoxicity is a trait shared by aminoglycoside and macrolide antibiotics, antimalarial medications, loop diuretics, platinum-based chemotherapeutic agents, some NSAIDs and most recently described, acetaminophen when abused with narcotic medication. These medications are prescribed despite their side effects, which includes inner ear toxicity, because they are life-saving drugs or there is a lack of better treatment. AREAS COVERED This review will discuss in vitro and in vivo models of ototoxicity highlighting recently published ototoxicity research. The reader will learn the strengths and limitations of different ototoxicity models and what molecular insights have been gained from their application. A better understanding of the cellular mechanisms of these ototoxins will help in the discovery of ways to prevent and treat hearing loss associated with ototoxic medications. EXPERT OPINION There are benefits to both in vitro and in vivo models of ototoxicity. Research of a particular medication and its ototoxic mechanisms should draw from several models, enabling a better answer to the clinical question of prevention and treatment of inner ear drug toxicity.

Abstract
Objective: Ototoxicity is currently the most frequent dose-limiting side effect of cisplatinum chemotherapy. To date, there is no protocol to prevent dose-related ototoxicity, despite its prevalence and predictability. Previous animal studies have found lactate to be effective in the prevention of cisplatinum-induced ototoxicity. The objective of this study was to test the protective benefits of transtympanic Ringer's lactate in the prevention of cisplatinum-induced ototoxicity. Study Design: A randomized prospective controlled trial was conducted in an animal model. Setting: Animal care research facilities of The Montreal Children's Hospital Research Institute. Subjects and Methods: A total of 44 chinchillas were exposed to systemic cisplatinum injected intraperitoneally in divided cycles to reach the targeted cumulative dosage of 16 mg/kg. Ototopical application of Ringer's lactate solution 0.2 mL twice per day during the chemotherapy cycles was performed. Each animal had one experimental (Ringer's) and one control ear. Distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) were collected for a wide range of frequencies (between 1 and 16 kHz), and scanning electron microscopy was performed to evaluate the protective effects of Ringer's lactate. Results: Ototopical application of Ringer's lactate solution in our established chinchilla animal model did not provide an otoprotective effect as measured by the DPOAE response and electron microscopy. Conclusion: In our study, the intratympanic application of Ringer's lactate solution through a tympanostomy ventilation tube did not provide an otoprotective effect. Further studies are needed to better assess the otoprotective or ototoxic effects of Ringer's lactate and other antioxidants on animal and human hearing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: In chinchillas, moderate doses of carboplatin administered systemically selectively destroy inner hair cells and type I vestibular hair cells; however, it is unclear whether this unique damage pattern persists if carboplatin is applied directly to the cochlea, how quickly the damage develops and what cell death pathways are involved. STUDY DESIGN: To address these questions, carboplatin (5 mg/ml, 50 µl) was applied to the round window. RESULTS: Carboplatin caused a rapid decline in distortion product otoacoustic emissions, significantly increased compound action potential thresholds and caused massive inner hair cell loss and less severe outer hair cell loss. Hair cell loss was initially more severe in the base than the apex of the cochlea, but by 28 days post-treatment most cochlear hair cells were missing and hair cell density in the utricle, saccule and lateral crista was greatly reduced. At one day post-treatment, many hair cell nuclei were condensed or fragmented indicative of apoptosis, and expressed initiator caspase-8 and executioner caspase-3, but not initiator caspase-9. Carboplatin-treated animals circled towards the treated ear and during the swim test rolled towards the treated ear. CONCLUSION: These results indicate that local application of carboplatin causes loss of hair cells that begins near the base of the cochlea and spreads towards the apex with increasing survival time. Hair cell loss is initiated by caspase-8 followed by executioner caspase-3.

Abstract
Ototoxicity is a trait shared by aminoglycoside and macrolide antibiotics, loop diuretics, platinum-based chemotherapeutic agents, some NSAIDs and antimalarial medications. Because their benefits in combating certain life-threatening diseases often outweigh the risks, the use of these ototoxic drugs cannot simply be avoided. In this review, the authors discuss some of the most frequently used ototoxic drugs and what is currently known about the cell and molecular mechanisms underlying their noxious effects. The authors also provide suggestions for the clinical management of ototoxic medications, including ototoxic detection and drug monitoring. Understanding the mechanisms of drug ototoxicity may lead to new strategies for preventing and curing drug-induced hearing loss, as well as developing new pharmacological drugs with less toxic side effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A secondary end point of the NBL90 protocol (Rubie H et al. Pediatr Oncol 2001;36:247-250) was the concern in this infant population for possible carboplatin-(CBDCA) induced late side effects including impaired renal and hearing functions. PROCEDURE Glomerular filtration rate (GFR), tubular function (TF), pure tone audiometry (PTA), high-frequency, and transient evoked-otoacoustic emission were prospectively assessed in 30 children alive and disease-free 6 years after the end of the treatment. RESULTS Median age at diagnosis and at assessment was 4.7 months and 7 years, respectively. Blood pressure was < or =97.5 centile in all children. The mean estimated GFR was 114 +/- 13 ml/min/1.73 m(2) by Schwartz formula [range 87-145]. TF assessment failed to demonstrate any impairment. 29/30 children had grade 0 ototoxicity and all transient evoked otoacoustic emission were normal. CONCLUSIONS With a 6-year follow-up the combination of VP16 and carboplatin given at conventional doses is safe on renal and hearing functions in infants with unresectable neuroblastomas treated according to SFOP NB90.

Abstract
Carboplatin is currently being used as an anticancer drug against human cancers. However, high dose of carboplatin chemotherapy resulted in ototoxicity in cancer patients. Carboplatin-induced ototoxicity was related to oxidative stress to the cochlea and inner hair cell loss in animals. It is likely that initial oxidative injury spreads throughout the neuroaxis of the auditory system later. The study aim was to evaluate carboplatin-induced hearing loss and oxidative injury to the central auditory system (inferior colliculus) of the rat. Male Wistar rats were divided into two groups of seven animals each and treated as follows: (1) control (normal saline, intraperitoneal [i.p.]) and (2) carboplatin (256 mg/kg, i.p.). Auditory brain-evoked responses (ABRs) were recorded before and 4 days after treatments. The animals were sacrificed on the 4th day and inferior colliculus from brain stem and cerebellum were isolated and analyzed. Carboplatin significantly elevated the hearing threshold shifts at clicks, 2-, 4-, 8-, 16-, and 32-kHz tone burst stimuli. Carboplatin significantly increased nitric oxide and lipid peroxidation, xanthine oxidase, and manganese superoxide dismutase activities in the inferior colliculus, but not in the cerebellum, indicating an enhanced flux of free radicals in the central auditory system. Carboplatin significantly depressed the reduced to oxidized glutathione ratio, antioxidant enzyme activities, such as copper-zinc superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, and glutathione S-transferase, and enzyme protein expressions in the inferior colliculus, but not in the cerebellum, 4 days after treatment. The data suggest that carboplatin induced oxidative injury specifically in the inferior colliculus of the rat leading to hearing loss.

Abstract
Carboplatin is currently being used as an anticancer drug against human cancers. However, high dose of carboplatin chemotherapy resulted in hearing loss in cancer patients. We have shown that carboplatin-induced hearing loss was related to dose-dependent oxidative injury to the cochlea in rat model. However, the time response of ototoxic dose of carboplatin on hearing loss and oxidative injury to cochlea has not been explored. The aim of the study was to evaluate the time response of carboplatin-induced hearing loss and oxidative injury to the cochlea of the rat. Male Wistar rats were divided into two groups of 30 animals each and treated as follows: (1) control (normal saline, i.p.) and (2) carboplatin (256 mg/kg, a single i.p. bolus injection). Auditory brain-evoked responses (ABRs) were recorded before and 1-5 days after treatments. The animals (n = 6) from each group were sacrificed on day 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 and cochleae were isolated and analyzed. Carboplatin significantly elevated the hearing thresholds to clicks and to 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 kHz tone burst stimuli only 3-5 days post-treatment. Carboplatin significantly increased nitric oxide (NO), malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) activity in the cochlea 4-5 and 3-5 days post-treatment, respectively, indicating enhanced influx of free radicals and oxidative injury to the cochlea. Carboplatin significantly depressed the reduced to oxidized glutathione (GSH/GSSG) ratio, antioxidant enzyme activities such as copper/zinc-superoxide dismutase (CuZn-SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) as well as enzyme protein expressions in the cochlea 3-5 days after treatment. The data suggest that carboplatin-induced hearing loss involves oxidative injury to the cochlea of the rat in a time-dependent manner.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To summarize the findings relevant to otolaryngology from the annual meeting of the Blood-Brain Barrier Disruption Consortium in Gleneden Beach, Oregon, March 10, 2001. STUDY DESIGN Summaries are provided by the speakers, as well as related data from the published literature. Findings in otology and oncology regarding ototoxicity that were discussed at the meeting are included. RESULTS Data considered included physiological research, animal studies, and clinical trials that relate to platinum-based chemotherapy and prevention of toxicity. CONCLUSIONS The dose-limiting side effects of platinum-based chemotherapy are preventable, but questions about the effect of the protective agents on oncological efficacy remain. Strategies for prevention of chemotherapy-induced toxicity include temporal or anatomical separation of cisplatin or carboplatin from sodium thiosulfate, D-methionine, or N-acetyl-cysteine. Clinical application of these methods has begun. The mechanisms presumably involve free radicals or drug conjugation, or both. Understanding the role of free radicals in medicine is likely to become important in the future.

Carboplatin produces an unusual pattern of damage in the chinchilla inner ear, characterized by early destruction of type I afferent fibers and preferential loss of type I hair cells in the vestibular end organs and inner hair cells (IHCs) in the cochlea. In the present study, we investigated a potential role of calpains, a family of calcium-activated proteases, in carboplatin ototoxicity. Chinchillas received carboplatin (100 mg/kg IP) and were sacrificed 12, 24, 48, or 72 h later for morphological evaluation or immunocytochemistry. Nerve fibers and myelin were the initial sites of increased calpain immunoreactivity (IR) and morphological damage. At 12 h, granular immunoreactive puncta were present within nerve fibers and their myelin sheaths in the spiral ganglion. In the habenula perforata, dense reaction product was present in large vacuoles in the myelin surrounding the nerve fibers. At 24 h, nerve fibers and myelin were destroyed in the habenula, and those in the spiral ganglion showed increased calpain IR and morphological damage. At 72 h, nerve fibers and myelin were completely destroyed. Calpain IR was not a prominent feature of IHCs, type I vestibular hair cells, or ganglion cells at any time after carboplatin. The results show a correlation between calpain IR and carboplatin-induced axon and myelin degeneration. We propose that calpain-induced axonopathy and myelinopathy are primary features of carboplatin ototoxicity in chinchilla.

Abstract
Carboplatin is currently being used in the clinic against a variety of human cancers. However, high dose carboplatin chemotherapy resulted in ototoxicity in cancer patients. This is the first study to show carboplatin-induced oxidative stress response in the cochlea of rat. Male Wistar rats were divided into two groups of six animals each and treated as follows: (1) control (normal saline, i.p.) and (2) carboplatin (256 mg/kg, i.p.). Animals in both groups were sedated with ketamine/xylazine and auditory brainstem-evoked responses were recorded before and 4 days after treatments. The animals were sacrificed on the fourth day and cochleae were harvested and analyzed. A significant elevation of the hearing threshold shifts was noted at clicks, 8, 16, and 32 kHz tone burst stimuli following carboplatin administration. Carboplatin significantly increased nitric oxide and malondialdehyde levels, xanthine oxidase and manganese-superoxide dismutase activities in the cochlea indicating enhanced flux of free radicals. Cochlear glutathione levels, antioxidant enzyme activities such as copper zinc-superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase and glutathione S-transferase and enzyme protein levels were significantly depleted 4 days after carboplatin treatment. The data suggest that carboplatin induced free radical generation and antioxidant depletion, and caused oxidative injury in the cochleae of rats.

Abstract
Carboplatin, a platinum-containing anticancer drug, is currently being used against a variety of cancers. However, a single high dose of carboplatin is ototoxic in cancer patients. This is the first study to show carboplatin-induced hearing loss in a rat model. Male Wistar rats were divided into five groups and treated as follows: (1) control (saline, intraperitoneally (i.p.)); (2) carboplatin (64 mg/kg, i.p.); (3) carboplatin (128 mg/kg i.p.); (4) carboplatin (192 mg/kg, i.p.) and (5) carboplatin (256 mg/kg, i.p.). Animals in all groups were sedated with ketamine/xylazine and auditory brain-evoked responses (ABRs) were recorded before and 4 days after treatments. The animals were sacrificed on the fourth day and cochleae were harvested and analyzed. Carboplatin dose-dependently decreased body weight. However, at higher doses of carboplatin (192 and 256 mg/kg), there was a significant elevation of hearing threshold shifts at clicks, 4, 8, 16 and 32 kHz tone burst stimuli. The higher doses of carboplatin (192 and 256 mg/kg) significantly increased cochlear lipid peroxidation (132 and 146% of control) and depleted cochlear glutathione levels (66 and 63% of control), respectively. The antioxidant enzyme activities such as superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) depressed significantly at higher doses of carboplatin. The data suggest that higher doses of carboplatin (above 128 mg/kg) induce hearing loss as evidenced by significant changes in ABRs, lipid peroxidation and antioxidants in the cochlea of rats.

Abstract
Carboplatin preferentially destroys inner hair cells (IHCs) and type-I spiral ganglion neurons while sparing outer hair cells (OHCs). Loss of IHCs and type-I ganglion cells is associated with a significant reduction of the compound action potential (CAP). However, the cochlear microphonic (CM) potential and distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) remain normal, indicating that the OHCs are functionally intact. In the vestibular system, carboplatin selectively destroys type-I hair cells and their afferent neurons. Damage of type-I vestibular hair cells and their afferent terminals is associated with significant depression of nystagmus induced by cold, caloric stimulation. Histochemical studies revealed a rapid decrease in succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) staining in IHCs soon after carboplatin treatment, and staining intensity remained depressed in surviving IHCs for at least 1 month after carboplatin treatment. These results suggest that carboplatin depresses the metabolic function in surviving IHCs. Several lines of evidence suggest that free radicals may contribute to carboplatin-induced sensory cell damage. Intracochlear infusion of L-buthionine-[S,R]-sulfoximine (BSO), which depletes intracellular glutathione (GSH), increases IHC and OHC loss. Previous in vitro studies have shown that neurotrophin 4/5 (NT-4/5) promotes the survival of spiral ganglion neurons from cisplatin ototoxicity. In vivo perfusion of NT-4/5 promoted the survival of spiral ganglion neurons, but did not protect the hair cells.

Abstract
The outer hair cells (OHCs) are thought to be the dominant source of distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) in the mammalian cochlea; however, little is known about the quantitative relationship between reduction in DPOAE amplitude and the degree of inner hair cell (IHC) and OHC loss. To examine this relationship, we measured the DPOAE input/output functions in the chinchilla before and after destroying the IHCs and/or OHCs with carboplatin. Low-to-moderate doses (38-150 mg/kg, i.p.) of carboplatin selectively destroyed some or all of the IHCs along the entire length of the cochlea while sparing the OHCs. Selective loss of all the IHCs had little effect on DPOAE amplitude as long as the OHCs were present. With high doses of carboplatin (200 mg/kg, i.p.), there was complete destruction of IHCs plus massive OHC loss that decreased from the base towards the apex of the cochlea. OHC loss resulted in a large decrease in DPOAE amplitude. DPOAE amplitude at 9.6 kHz decreased at the rate of 4.1 dB for every 10% loss of OHCs. At 7.2 and 4.8 kHz, DPOAE amplitude decreased 3.1 dB and 2.4 dB per 10% OHC loss, respectively. These results indicate that OHCs are the dominant source of DPOAEs.
