Lai H, Yin J, Yang H. Association of oxidative balance score with hearing loss and tinnitus: NHANES 1999-2018. Front Nutr 2024; 11:1421605. [PMID: 38962438 PMCID: PMC11220283 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2024.1421605] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/29/2024] [Indexed: 07/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Oxidative stress is associated with the occurrence of hearing loss and tinnitus. The oxidative balance score (OBS), a composite indicator evaluating the balance between antioxidant and pro-oxidative components across various dietary and lifestyle factors, indicates the overall oxidative balance status. However, the association of OBS with hearing loss and tinnitus has not been reported previously. Methods Cross-sectional data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999-2018 were analyzed. Weighted multivariable logistic regression, weighted multivariable linear regression, and restricted cubic spline curve (RCS) regression were employed to explore the relationship between OBS and hearing loss at speech, low, and high frequencies, along with tinnitus. Subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis were used to ascertain the consistency across subgroups and stability of the results. Results We included 13,715 and 21,644 individuals to investigate the association between OBS and hearing loss, as well as between OBS and tinnitus, respectively. The second, third, and fourth quartiles of OBS were significantly associated with a lower risk of hearing loss at speech, low, and high frequencies, as well as tinnitus, compared to the lowest quartile. The RCS regression analysis indicated a negative linear association of OBS with hearing loss and tinnitus. Most associations were maintained in subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis. Additionally, the dietary and lifestyle OBS independently contribute to the protection against hearing loss and tinnitus. Conclusion OBS is negatively correlated with the risk of hearing loss and tinnitus. The findings suggest that combined antioxidant diet and lifestyle hold promise as potential strategies for reducing the prevalence of hearing loss and tinnitus.

A basement membrane extract-based three-dimensional culture system promotes the neuronal differentiation of cochlear Sox10-positive glial cells in vitro. Mater Today Bio 2024; 24:100937. [PMID: 38269057 PMCID: PMC10805941 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2023.100937] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2023] [Revised: 12/14/2023] [Accepted: 12/27/2023] [Indexed: 01/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) in the mammalian cochleae are essential for the delivery of acoustic information, and damage to SGNs can lead to permanent sensorineural hearing loss as SGNs are not capable of regeneration. Cochlear glial cells (GCs) might be a potential source for SGN regeneration, but the neuronal differentiation ability of GCs is limited and its properties are not clear yet. Here, we characterized the cochlear Sox10-positive (Sox10+) GCs as a neural progenitor population and developed a basement membrane extract-based three-dimensional (BME-3D) culture system to promote its neuronal generation capacity in vitro. Firstly, the purified Sox10+ GCs, isolated from Sox10-creER/tdTomato mice via flow cytometry, were able to form neurospheres after being cultured in the traditional suspension culture system, while significantly more neurospheres were found and the expression of stem cell-related genes was upregulated in the BME-3D culture group. Next, the BME-3D culture system promoted the neuronal differentiation ability of Sox10+ GCs, as evidenced by the increased number, neurite outgrowth, area of growth cones, and synapse density as well as the promoted excitability of newly induced neurons. Notably, the BME-3D culture system also intensified the reinnervation of newly generated neurons with HCs and protected the neurospheres and derived-neurons against cisplatin-induced damage. Finally, transcriptome sequencing analysis was performed to identify the characteristics of the differentiated neurons. These findings suggest that the BME-3D culture system considerably promotes the proliferation capacity and neuronal differentiation efficiency of Sox10+ GCs in vitro, thus providing a possible strategy for the SGN regeneration study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of peroxynitrite on the cultured cochlear hair cells of C57BL/6 P3 mice in vitro as well as the role of Wnt3a, as an activator of the canonical Wnt signaling pathway, underlying the action of such an oxidative stress. METHODS The in vitro primary cultured cochlear hair cells were subjected to l00 μM peroxynitrite and l00 μM peroxynitrite +25 ng/mL Wnt3a for 24 h, the cell survival and morphological changes were examined by immunofluorescence and transmission electron microscopy. RESULTS The number of surviving hair cells was significantly reduced in the 100 μM peroxynitrite group, while it was significantly higher in the Wnt3a + peroxynitrite treated group compared with the peroxynitrite treated group. The transmission electron microscopy showed that exposure to peroxynitrite induced a dramatic decrease in the number of mitochondria and severely disrupted mitochondrial ultrastructure, while Wnt3a clearly diminished the disruption of mitochondrial structure and preserved a higher number of mitochondria. CONCLUSION These results indicated that peroxynitrite could cause oxidative damage to the cochlear hair cells, and low concentrations of Wnt3a has a protective effect against oxidative damage. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level 2.

Abstract
Teicoplanin is a glycopeptide antibiotic used to treat severe staphylococcal infections. It has been claimed that teicoplanin possesses ototoxic potential, although its toxic effects on cochlear hair cells (HCs) remain unknown. The TP53-induced glycolysis and apoptosis regulator (TIGAR) plays a crucial role in promoting cell survival. Prior research has demonstrated that TIGAR protects spiral ganglion neurons against cisplatin damage. However, the significance of TIGAR in damage to mammalian HCs has not yet been investigated. In this study, firstly, we discovered that teicoplanin caused dose-dependent cell death in vitro in both HEI-OC1 cells and cochlear HCs. Next, we discovered that HCs and HEI-OC1 cells treated with teicoplanin exhibited a dramatically decrease in TIGAR expression. To investigate the involvement of TIGAR in inner ear injury caused by teicoplanin, the expression of TIGAR was either upregulated via recombinant adenovirus or downregulated by shRNA in HEI-OC1 cells. Overexpression of TIGAR increased cell viability, decreased apoptosis, and decreased intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level, whereas downregulation of TIGAR decreased cell viability, exacerbated apoptosis, and elevated ROS level following teicoplanin injury. Finally, antioxidant therapy with N-acetyl-L-cysteine decreased ROS level, prevented cell death, and restored p38/phosphorylation-p38 expression levels in HEI-OC1 cells injured by teicoplanin. This study demonstrates that TIGAR may be a promising novel target for the prevention of teicoplanin-induced ototoxicity.

Front Cell Neurosci 2022; 16:841731.

Abstract
Glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPX1) is a crucial antioxidant enzyme that prevented the harmful accumulation of intra-cellular hydrogen peroxide. GPX1 might contribute in limiting cochlear damages associated with aging or acoustic overexposure, but the function of GPX1 in the inner ear remains unclear. The present study was designed to investigate the effect of GPX1 on cochlear spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) against oxidative stress induced by peroxynitrite, a versatile oxidant generated by the reaction of superoxide anion and nitric oxide. Here, we first found that the expression of GPX1 in cultured SGNs was downregulated after peroxynitrite exposure. Then, the GPX1 mimic ebselen and the gpx1 knockout (gpx1–/–) mice were used to investigate the role of GPX1 in SGNs treated with peroxynitrite. The pretreatment with ebselen significantly increased the survived SGN numbers, inhibited the apoptosis, and enhanced the expression of 4-HNE in the cultured SGNs of peroxynitrite + ebselen group compared with the peroxynitrite-only group. On the contrary, remarkably less survived SGNs, more apoptotic SGNs, and the higher expression level of 4-HNE were detected in the peroxynitrite + gpx1–/– group compared with the peroxynitrite-only group. Furthermore, rescue experiments with antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC) showed that the expression of 4-HNE and the apoptosis in SGNs were significantly decreased, while the number of surviving SGNs was increased in peroxynitrite + NAC group compared the peroxynitrite-only group and in peroxynitrite + gpx1–/– + NAC group vs. peroxynitrite + gpx1–/– group. Finally, mechanistic studies showed that the activation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) was involved in the SGNs damage caused by peroxynitrite and that GPX1 protected SGNs against peroxynitrite-induced damage, at least in part, via blocking the NF-κB pathway activation. Collectively, our findings suggest that GPX1 might serve as a new target for the prevention of nitrogen radical-induced SGNs damage and hearing loss.

Abstract
The transport and cytotoxicity of molybdenum-based drugs have been explained with the concept of chemical transformation, a very important idea in inorganic medicinal chemistry that is often overlooked in the interpretation of the biological activity of metal-containing systems. Two monomeric, [MoO2(L1)(MeOH)] (1) and [MoO2(L2)(EtOH)] (2), and two mixed-ligand dimeric MoVIO2 species, [{MoO2(L1-2)}2(μ-4,4'-bipy)] (3-4), were synthesized and characterized. The structures of the solid complexes were solved through SC-XRD, while their transformation in water was clarified by UV-vis, ESI-MS, and DFT. In aqueous solution, 1-4 lead to the penta-coordinated [MoO2(L1-2)] active species after the release of the solvent molecule (1 and 2) or removal of the 4,4'-bipy bridge (3 and 4). [MoO2(L1-2)] are stable in solution and react with neither serum bioligand nor cellular reductants. The binding affinity of 1-4 toward HSA and DNA were evaluated through analytical and computational methods and in both cases a non-covalent interaction is expected. Furthermore, the in vitro cytotoxicity of the complexes was also determined and flow cytometry analysis showed the apoptotic death of the cancer cells. Interestingly, μ-4,4'-bipy bridged complexes 3 and 4 were found to be more active than monomeric 1 and 2, due to the mixture of species generated, that is [MoO2(L1-2)] and the cytotoxic 4,4'-bipy released after their dissociation. Since in the cytosol neither the reduction of MoVI to MoV/IV takes place nor the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) through Fenton-like reactions of 1-4 with H2O2 occurs, the mechanism of cytotoxicity should be attributable to the direct interaction with DNA that happens with a minor-groove binding which results in cell death through an apoptotic mechanism.

c-Myb protects cochlear hair cells from cisplatin-induced damage via the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Cell Death Dis 2022; 8:78.

Abstract
The transcription factor c-Myb is vital for cell survival, proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. We have previously reported that c-Myb knockdown exacerbates neomycin-induced damage to cochlea cells. However, the function and regulation of c-Myb in the mammalian inner ear remains unclear. Here, we first found that the expression of c-Myb in cochlear HCs was downregulated after cisplatin damage in vivo. Next, to investigate the role of c-Myb in HCs treated with cisplatin, the recombinant virus AAV-ie-CAG-Myb-HA (AAV-c-Myb) that overexpresses c-Myb was constructed and transfected into HCs. The protein expression of c-Myb was effectively up-regulated in cultured cochlear HCs after the virus transfection, which increased cochlear HC viability, decreased HC apoptosis and reduced intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels after cisplatin injury in vitro. The overexpression of c-Myb in HCs after AAV-c-Myb transfection in vivo also promoted HC survival, improved the hearing function of mice and reduced HC apoptosis after cisplatin injury. Furthermore, c-Myb-HC conditional knockout mice (Prestin; c-Myb-cKO) in which c-Myb expression is downregulated only in cochlear OHCs were generated and the cisplatin-induced HCs loss, apoptosis and hearing deficit were all exacerbated in Prestin; c-Myb-cKO mice treated with cisplatin in vivo. Finally, mechanistic studies showed that upregulation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway by c-Myb contributed to the increased HC survival after cisplatin exposure in vitro. The findings from this work suggest that c-Myb might serve as a new target for the prevention of cisplatin-induced HC damage and hearing loss.

Abstract
Objective: A newly synthesized derivative of ligustrazine chalcone, named as Z11, has shown a variety of promising biological activities. Here we aim to explore the effects of Z11 on the cochlear hair cells (HCs). Methods: Immunostaining and transmission electron microscopy
(TEM) were used to examine the survival of HCs and their morphological changes. Furthermore, apoptosis was detected by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay and the mRNA expression of apoptosis related genes including Caspase-9, Caspase-3, Bcl-2, Bax and
Apaf1 were measured by RT-PCR. In addition, the protein expression of cleaved-Caspas-3 and cleaved-Caspase-9 were analyzed by Western blot respectively, and the protein expressionof AIF and cleaved-Caspase-3 were assessed by immunofluorescence as well. Results: Immunostaining showed
that Z11 was ototoxic to mouse cochlear hair cells and significantly triggered cell death in a concentration-, time- and location-dependent manner. TUNEL assays evidenced that Z11 exerts its cytotoxicity through induction of apoptosis of cochlear hair cells in vitro. Immunofluorescence
and western blot assay showed that Z11 activated the translation of apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) and Caspase-9/Caspase-3 dependent apoptotic pathway in cochlear hair cells (HCs). Conclusion:These findings suggest that Z11 exhibits its ototoxicity through inducing apoptosis of HCs
via both Caspase-dependent and AIF translocation pathways in mouse cochlear cultures.

Abstract
Hydroxytyrosol (HT), a polyphenol widely contained as an ester in olive fruits and olive leaves, exhibits a broad spectrum of effectiveness. The present study was designed to investigate the effect of HT alone as well as in the combination with cisplatin on the House Ear Institute-Organ of Corti 1 cells (HEI-OC1) and C57BL/6 cochlear hair cells in vitro. The cell viability was measured by cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) assay. The levels of reactive oxygen species were evaluated by Dichloro-dihydro-fluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) staining. The expression of phosphorylated Jun N-terminal kinase (p-JNK) and cleaved-caspase 3 was assessed by Western blotting. The apoptosis was detected by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) dUTP Nick-End Labeling (TUNEL) staining. The distribution of apoptosis inducing factor (AIF) was determined by immunofluorescent staining. HT alleviated the levels of reactive oxygen species in both untreated state and after cisplatin stimulus. However, HT at concentration of 100 μM decreased the cell viability of HEI-OC1 from 100 ± 17.38% in control group to 50.17 ± 1.89% and increased the expression of p-JNK and c-caspase 3 from 0.62 ± 0.10, 0.20 ± 0.050 in the control group to 1.24 ± 0.18, 0.85 ± 0.18 in the group treated with 30 μM cisplatin, as well as to 1.64 ± 0.14, 1.44 ± 0.12 in the group with 30 μM cisplatin +100 μM HT, respectively. Meanwhile, HT triggered AIF transferring to nuclei and, also, led to cochlear HCs arranging disorderly and missing. Moreover, HT elevated the expression of p-JNK and c-caspase 3 from 1.00 ± 0.27, 1.00 ± 0.26 in the control group to 2.23 ± 0.24, 22.87 ± 3.80 in the group with 30 μM cisplatin, and to 2.75 ± 0.23, 31.56 ± 3.86 in the group with 30 μM cisplatin+100 μM HT correspondingly. Taken together, data from this work reveal that HT itself possesses toxic effect on HCs mainly thorough AIF-dependent apoptosis, while, it aggravates the ototoxicity-caused by cisplatin via both JNK and AIF pathways related apoptosis. Findings from this work offer clear evidence that that HT might not be recommended to utilize for preventing cisplatin-induced ototoxicity.

Synthesis, Characterization, and In Vivo Anti-Cancer Activity of New Metal Complexes Derived from Isatin- N(4)antipyrinethiosemicarbazone Ligand Against Ehrlich Ascites Carcinoma Cells. Molecules 2019; 24:molecules24183313. [PMID: 31514445 PMCID: PMC6766913 DOI: 10.3390/molecules24183313] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2019] [Revised: 09/07/2019] [Accepted: 09/09/2019] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
The current study aimed to synthesize new metal coordination complexes with potential biomedical applications. Metal complexes were prepared via the reaction of isatin-N(4)anti- pyrinethiosemicarbazone ligand 1 with Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Zn(II), and Fe(III) ions. The obtained metal complexes 2-12 were characterized using elemental, spectral (1H-NMR, EPR, Mass, IR, UV-Vis) and thermal (TGA) techniques, as well as magnetic moment and molar conductance measurements. In addition, their geometries were studied using EPR and UV-Vis spectroscopy. To evaluate the in vivo anti-cancer activities of these complexes, the ligand 1 and its metal complexes 2, 7 and 9 were tested against solid tumors. The solid tumors were induced by subcutaneous (SC) injection of Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) cells in mice. The impact of the selected complexes on the reduction of tumor volume was determined. Also, the expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and cysteine aspartyl-specific protease-7 (caspase-7) in tumor and liver tissues of mice bearing EAC tumor were determined. Moreover, their effects on alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), albumin, and glucose levels were measured. The results revealed that the tested compounds, especially complex 9, reduced tumor volume, inhibited the expression of VEGF, and induced the expression of caspase-7. Additionally, they restored the levels of ALT, AST, albumin, and glucose close to their normal levels. Taken together, our newly synthesized metal complexes are promising anti-cancer agents against solid tumors induced by EAC cells as supported by the inhibition of VEGF and induction of caspase-7.
