Abstract
Introduction Ménière's disease (MD), a common disease in the inner ear, is characterized by an increase in endolymph in the cochlear duct and vestibular labyrinth. The pathophysiology of the condition appears to be the immune response. Studies have shown that basal levels of the IL-1β increased in some MD patients. Methods Here, we used a murine model of endolymphatic hydrops (EH) to study the effect of anakinra on auditory and vestibular function. Mice were intraperitoneal injected with anakinra or saline before LPS by postauricular injection. Weight and disease severity were measured, histologic changes in auditory were assessed, and inflammation state was evaluated. Results We found that anakinra therapy reduced LPS-induced EH, alleviated LPS-induced hearing loss and vestibular dysfunction, and inhibited the expression of the inflammatory cytokines and macrophage infiltration in the cochlea of mice. We further demonstrated that anakinra ameliorated the disorganization and degeneration of myelin sheath, and reduced the neuron damage in cochlea of EH mice. Discussion Consequently, anakinra contributes to a promising therapeutic approach to MD, by restricting EH, alleviating auditory and vestibular function, inhibiting inflammation of the inner ear and protecting the cochlear nerve. Further investigations are needed to assess the potential therapeutic benefits of anakinra in patients with MD.

Abstract
To explore the effects of cochlear hair cell displacement, researchers have previously monitored functional and mechanical responses during low-frequency (LF) acoustic stimulation of the cochlea. The induced changes are believed to result from modulation of the conductance of mechano-electrical transduction (MET) channels on cochlear hair cells, along with receptor potential modulation. It is less clear how, or if, vestibular hair cell displacement affects vestibular function. Here, we have used LF (<20 Hz) hydrodynamic modulation of the utricular macula position, whilst recording functional and mechanical responses, to investigate the effects of utricular macula displacement. Measured responses included the Utricular Microphonic (UM), the vestibular short-latency evoked potential (VsEP), and laser Doppler vibrometry recordings of macular position. Over 1 cycle of the LF bias, the UM amplitude and waveform were cyclically modulated, with Boltzmann analysis suggesting a cyclic modulation of the vestibular MET gating. The VsEP amplitude was cyclically modulated throughout the LF bias, demonstrating a relative increase (~20-50 %; re baseline) and decrease (~10-20 %; re baseline), which is believed to be related to the MET conductance and vestibular hair cell sensitivity. The relationship between macular displacement and changes in UM and VsEP responses was consistent within and across animals. These results suggest that the sensory structures underlying the VsEP, often thought to be a cranial jerk-sensitive response, are at least partially sensitive to LF (and possibly static) pressures or motion. Furthermore, these results highlight the possibility that some of the vestibular dysfunction related to endolymphatic hydrops may be due to altered vestibular transduction following mechanical (or morphological) changes in the labyrinth.
