Quercetin attenuates cisplatin-induced mitochondrial apoptosis via PI3K/Akt mediated inhibition of oxidative stress in pericytes and improves the blood labyrinth barrier permeability. Chem Biol Interact 2024; 393:110939. [PMID: 38490643 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbi.2024.110939] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2023] [Revised: 02/26/2024] [Accepted: 03/04/2024] [Indexed: 03/17/2024]
Abstract
Cisplatin (CDDP) is broadly employed to treat different cancers, whereas there are no drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for preventing its side effects, including ototoxicity. Quercetin (QU) is a widely available natural flavonoid compound with anti-tumor and antioxidant properties. The research was designed to explore the protective effects of QU on CDDP-induced ototoxicity and its underlying mechanisms in male C57BL/6 J mice and primary cultured pericytes (PCs). Hearing changes, morphological changes of stria vascularis, blood labyrinth barrier (BLB) permeability and expression of apoptotic proteins were observed in vivo by using the auditory brainstem response (ABR) test, HE staining, Evans blue staining, immunohistochemistry, western blotting, etc. Oxidative stress levels, mitochondrial function and endothelial barrier changes were observed in vitro by using DCFH-DA probe detection, flow cytometry, JC-1 probe, immunofluorescence and the establishment in vitro BLB models, etc. QU pretreatment activates the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, inhibits CDDP-induced oxidative stress, protects mitochondrial function, and reduces mitochondrial apoptosis in PCs. However, PI3K/AKT specific inhibitor (LY294002) partially reverses the protective effects of QU. In addition, in vitro BLB models were established by coculturing PCs and endothelial cells (ECs), which suggests that QU both reduces the CDDP-induced apoptosis in PCs and improves the endothelial barrier permeability. On the whole, the research findings suggest that QU can be used as a novel treatment to reduce CDDP-induced ototoxicity.

Abstract
Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is the second most common cause of sensorineural hearing loss, after age-related hearing loss, and affects approximately 5% of the world's population. NIHL is associated with substantial physical, mental, social, and economic impacts at the patient and societal levels. Stress and social isolation in patients' workplace and personal lives contribute to quality-of-life decrements which may often go undetected. The pathophysiology of NIHL is multifactorial and complex, encompassing genetic and environmental factors with substantial occupational contributions. The diagnosis and screening of NIHL are conducted by reviewing a patient's history of noise exposure, audiograms, speech-in-noise test results, and measurements of distortion product otoacoustic emissions and auditory brainstem response. Essential aspects of decreasing the burden of NIHL are prevention and early detection, such as implementation of educational and screening programs in routine primary care and specialty clinics. Additionally, current research on the pharmacological treatment of NIHL includes anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-excitatory, and anti-apoptotic agents. Although there have been substantial advances in understanding the pathophysiology of NIHL, there remain low levels of evidence for effective pharmacotherapeutic interventions. Future directions should include personalized prevention and targeted treatment strategies based on a holistic view of an individual's occupation, genetics, and pathology.

Tan J, Kaiserman D, O'Leary SJ, Bird PI. Mice heterozygous for the Serpinb6a null mutation show deficits in central auditory function after acoustic trauma. Neuroreport 2021; 32:1287-1292.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Complete deficiency of the serine protease inhibitor gene, SERPINB6, is responsible for autosomal-recessive, nonsyndromic sensorineural hearing loss in humans. A mouse model of this deafness gene identifies Serpinb6a expression in the neurosensory epithelium and fibrocytes of the cochlea. Homozygous Serpinb6a mutant mice display an exaggerated hearing loss after exposure to moderate acoustic trauma. It is unknown if and how heterozygous Serpinb6a mice show increased vulnerability to acoustic trauma. METHODS We exposed Serpinb6a+/- and Serpinb6a+/+ mice to acoustic trauma and measured their hearing function prior to, 3 and 14 days postexposure, analysing shifts in hearing threshold and amplitudes of Wave I and II of the auditory brainstem-evoked response (ABR) to 4, 8, 16 and 32 kHz tones. RESULTS Shifts in hearing threshold and Wave I amplitude of Serpinb6a+/- mice were not significantly different from Serpinb6a+/+ mice at both time points and all frequencies tested (P > 0.05, Mann-Whitney test). However, Wave II amplitudes at 16 and 32 kHz tones, were more severely diminished in Serpinb6a+/- mice (P < 0.05). To exclude any effects of ageing on auditory function in Serpinb6a+/- mice, hearing function of unexposed Serpinb6a+/- mice was measured at start and end of the experimental period. The shift in Wave II amplitude of exposed Serpinb6a+/- mice was significantly lower than unexposed Serpinb6a+/- mice only at 16 and 32 kHz (P < 0.01), confirming acoustic trauma as the main cause of hearing deficits in Serpinb6a+/- mice. CONCLUSION These results suggest that heterozygous Serpinb6a humans may be vulnerable to noise.
