Abstract
Noised-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is an acquired, progressive neurological damage caused by exposure to intense noise in various environments including industrial, military and entertaining settings. The prevalence of NIHL is much higher than other occupational injuries in industrialized countries. Recent studies have revealed that genetic factors, together with environmental conditions, also contribute to NIHL. A group of genes which are linked to the susceptibility of NIHL had been uncovered, involving the progression of oxidative stress, potassium ion cycling, cilia structure, heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), DNA damage repair, apoptosis, and some other genes. In this review, we briefly summarized the studies primary in population and some animal researches concerning the susceptible genes of NIHL, intending to give insights into the further exploration of NIHL prevention and individual treatment.

Wan L, Zhang L, Sun P, Han L, Zhang H, Zhu B, Wang B. Association between UBAC2 gene polymorphism and the risk of noise-induced hearing loss: a cross-sectional study. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 29:32947-32958. [PMID: 35020141 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-021-18360-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2021] [Accepted: 12/23/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
The purpose of this article was to investigate the association between the ubiquitin-associated domain-containing protein 2 (UBAC2) gene polymorphism and noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) and to further explore the role of single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in UBAC2 in NIHL. A case control study involving 660 NIHL cases and 581 controls was conducted in this research. After genotyping by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with next-generation sequencing, the correlation between SNPs and NIHL was analyzed using logistic regression analysis. Haplotype analysis was performed by Haploview 4.1 software. Then luciferase reporter assays and siRNA were used to explore the mechanism of SNPs in UBAC2 affecting NIHL susceptibility. The correlation analysis showed that rs3825427 AA genotype, rs9517701 GG genotype, rs7999348 GG genotype, and rs2296860 AA genotype were all associated with increased risk of NIHL (P < 0.05). The haplotype AGGA (rs3825427-rs9517701-rs7999348-rs2296860) also had a higher risk of NIHL (OR = 1.314; 95% CI, 1.098-1.572; P = 0.003). The results of the luciferase reporter assays showed that the fluorescence intensity of CTCF-OE + UBAC2 WT + TK was significantly higher than that of CTCF-NC + UBAC2 WT + TK and CTCF-OE + UBAC2 MT + TK (all P < 0.01). In CTCF knockdown cells, the expression of UBAC2 was also significantly downregulated (P = 0.0038), indicating that the transcription factor CTCF positively regulated the expression of UBAC2 and the rs3825427 C allele acted as an enhancer, which can promote CTCF to bind to the promoter of UBAC2, thereby promoting transcription. UBAC2 gene polymorphism is related to NIHL susceptibility. The UBAC2 rs3825427 regulates the expression level of UBAC2 by affecting the combination of CTCF and DNA, thus affecting the susceptibility of NIHL.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate risk for noise-induced hearing damage from otologic surgery-related noise exposure, given recent research indicating that noise levels previously believed to be safe and without long-term consequence may result in cochlear synaptopathy with subsequent degeneration of spiral ganglion neurons, degradation of neural transmission in response to suprathreshold acoustic stimuli, and difficulty understanding in background noise. METHODS A prospective observational study of surgeon noise exposure during otologic and neurotologic procedures was performed in a tertiary care center. Surgeon noise exposure was recorded in A- and C-weighted decibel scales (dBA, dBC), including average equivalent (LAeq) and peak (LApeak, LCpeak) levels and noise dose. RESULTS Sound measurements taken at the ear with continuous recording equipment during cadaveric otologic surgery demonstrated LAeq 80-83 dBA, LApeaks of 105 dBA, LCpeaks of 127 dBC, with noise doses of 0.9% to 6.7%. Sound level measurements during live surgery translabyrinthine approaches yielded lower LAeq of 72 to 74 dBA and lower noise doses compared with temporal bone lab measurements. Raw sound recordings during live surgery demonstrated narrow band, high frequency, high amplitude spikes between 4 and 12 kHz. CONCLUSION Noise exposure to surgeons, staff, and patients in the operating room is acceptable per NIOSH recommendations. Temporal bone lab noise exposures are greater, possibly due to poorly maintained drill systems and lack of noise shielding from microscope bulk, yet are also within NIOSH recommended levels.

Abstract
Clinical presentation is heterogeneous for autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing loss (ADNSHL). Variants of KCNQ4 gene is a common genetic factor of ADNSHL. Few studies have investigated the association between hearing impairment and the variant c.546C>G of KCNQ4. Here, we investigated the phenotype and clinical manifestations of the KCNQ4 variant. Study subjects were selected from the participants of the Taiwan Precision Medicine Initiative. In total, we enrolled 12 individuals with KCNQ4 c.546C>G carriers and 107 non-carriers, and performed pure tone audiometry (PTA) test and phenome-wide association (PheWAS) analysis for the patients. We found that c.546C>G variant was related to an increased risk of hearing loss. All patients with c.546C>G variant were aged >65 years and had sensorineural and high frequency hearing loss. Of these patients, a third (66.7%) showed moderate and progressive hearing loss, 41.7% complained of tinnitus and 16.7% complained of vertigo. Additionally, we found a significant association between KCNQ4 c.546C>G variant, aortic aneurysm, fracture of lower limb and polyneuropathy in diabetes. KCNQ4 c.546C>G is likely a potentially pathogenic variant of ADNSHL in the elderly population. Genetic counseling, annual audiogram and early assistive listening device intervention are highly recommended to prevent profound hearing impairment in this patient group.

Abstract
Noise-induced-hearing-loss(NIHL) is a common occupational disease caused by various environmental and biological factors. To investigate the association between TAB2 and the susceptibility of NIHL of people exposed to occupational environments, a genetic association study was performed on selected companies with 588 cases and 537 healthy control subjects. Five selected single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in TAB2,incoluding rs2744434, rs521845, rs652921, rs7896, rs9485372, were genotyped after a collection of DNA samples. Evident differences in participants between the case group and the control group reveals the result that people with the TAB2 has a high probability of getting NIHL. The results show that rs521845 is deeply associated with the risk of NIHL and is available for the diagnosis in the future.

Abstract
In mechanized harvesting of wood operations, in a cut-to-length system, occupational noise is emitted by self-propelled forest machines, which compromises the safety and health of operators. Therefore, the occupational noise levels emitted by self-propelled forestry machines, in a cut-to-length system, were investigated to determine which are in line with current Brazilian legislation. The noise levels issued by 22 self-propelled forestry machines in the mechanized harvesting of wood operations, in Eucalyptus and Pinus planted forests, were collected during a full day of measurement. Taking into account the operations performed and the type of planted forest, homogeneous groups of operators were formed. Based on Regulatory Norms N.9 and N.15 adopted for labor purposes in Brazil, occupational noise levels were analyzed. In relation to harvester operators, 36.4% were exposed to values above the exposure limit of 85 dB (A) and 63.6% to the action level of 80 dB (A). Regarding the forwarder operators, 100% were exposed to values that exceeded the action level. For the analyzed conditions, for the cut-to-length system employed in harvesting wood in forest planted with Eucalyptus and Pinus, the occupational noise levels of the self-propelled forest machines are not in line with current Brazilian legislation for labor purposes.

Abstract
Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily q member 4 (KCNQ4) is a voltage-gated potassium channel that plays essential roles in maintaining ion homeostasis and regulating hair cell membrane potential. Reduction of the activity of the KCNQ4 channel owing to genetic mutations is responsible for nonsyndromic hearing loss, a typically late-onset, initially high-frequency loss progressing over time. In addition, variants of KCNQ4 have also been associated with noise-induced hearing loss and age-related hearing loss. Therefore, the discovery of small compounds activating or potentiating KCNQ4 is an important strategy for the curative treatment of hearing loss. In this review, we updated the current concept of the physiological role of KCNQ4 in the inner ear and the pathologic mechanism underlying the role of KCNQ4 variants with regard to hearing loss. Finally, we focused on currently developed KCNQ4 activators and their pros and cons, paving the way for the future development of specific KCNQ4 activators as a remedy for hearing loss.

Abstract
Inflammation is a complicated process and is considered to be responsible for the development of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). CARD8 is an important component of inflammasome that has been implicated in inflammation. To decide the relationship between the polymorphisms of CARD8 gene and NIHL risk and deduce the potential mechanism, three SNPs (rs2043211, rs1062808, and rs12459322) were genotyped in a Chinese population consisting of 610 NIHL cases and 612 normal hearing controls. The possible impacts of SNPs on CARD8 structure and function were assessed using a variety of bioinformatics tools. Plasmids expressing wild-type and/or mutated CARD8 were transfected into HEK293 cells to verify the effect of SNPs on CARD8 protein expression level by western blot. The results revealed that rs2043211 AA genotype and A allele were associated with decreased risk of NIHL. Stratified analysis found that the male, drinking and exposed to noise ≥ 92 dB, subjects harboring rs2043211 A allele had a low risk of NIHL. The haplotype AGG (rs2043211-rs1062808-rs12459322) was significantly associated with a decreased risk of NIHL. SNP rs2043211 was predicted to be deleterious and affects CARD8 protein structure and stability. Furthermore, the functional experiment showed the mutant CARD8 could significantly decrease the CARD8 protein expression level. This study confirms that rs2043211 A allele may reduce NIHL risk by causing the loss of PPI combined with the decreased CARD8 expression level leading to CARD8 functional changes, and it may be one valuable genetic biomarker of NIHL susceptibility for Chinese noise-exposed workers.

Abstract
Recently, there has been increased studies in noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). We aimed to make an overview of research trends and genetic polymorphisms for NIHL from 2009 to 2018 with VOSviewer software. A total of 2391 papers were identified for research trends analysis in NIHL and 33 studies identified for a brief review of genetic polymorphisms in human NIHL. The number of publications has been increasing over the past decade. The journal Hearing Research published the most articles (218). The USA contributed the largest number of papers (1042; 43.58%), with the most citations (18,987) and the highest H-index (60). The University of Washington was the most contributive institution. Liberman MC published the most articles (32), and Kujawa SG possessed the highest co-citations (584). Except for high-frequency keywords identified by the software, "prevalence," "oxidative stress," "hair cells," and "cochlear implant" were also the latest research frontiers. HSPA1A rs1043618, HSPA1L rs2227956, PON2 rs12026 and rs7785846, SOD2 rs2855116, KCNE1 rs2070358, KCNQ4 rs34287852, GJB2 rs3751385, PCDH15 rs7095441 and rs11004085, GRHL2 rs1981361, ITGA8 rs10508489, MYH14 rs667907, and POU4F3 rs891969 were the research hotspots and were replicated in independent samples. Inflammation response underlying NIHL has emerged and should be considered as a pioneering field in the future for the prevention of NIHL and conservation of hearing.
