Abstract
Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), a multifactorial progressive disorder, results from a complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors, with its underlying mechanisms remaining unclear. Several pathological factors are believed to contribute to SNHL, including genetic factors, ion homeostasis, cell apoptosis, immune inflammatory responses, oxidative stress, hormones, metabolic syndrome, human cytomegalovirus infection, mitochondrial damage, and impaired autophagy. These factors collectively interact and play significant roles in the onset and progression of SNHL. The present review offers a comprehensive overview of the various factors that contribute to SNHL, emphasizes recent developments in understanding its etiology, and explores relevant preventive and intervention measures.

Abstract
Aminoglycosides are commonly used for the treatment of life-threatening bacterial infections, however, aminoglycosides may cause irreversible hearing loss with a long-term clinical therapy. The mechanism and prevention of the ototoxicity of aminoglycosides are still limited although amounts of studies explored widely. Specifically, advancements in programmed cell death (PCD) provide more new perspectives. This review summarizes the general signal pathways in programmed cell death, including apoptosis, autophagy, and ferroptosis, as well as the mechanisms of aminoglycoside-induced ototoxicity. Additionally, novel interventions, especially gene therapy strategies, are also investigated for the prevention or treatment of aminoglycoside-induced hearing loss with prospective clinical applications.

Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:16664.

Abstract
Tinnitus is the perception of noise in the absence of acoustic stimulation (phantom noise). In most patients suffering from chronic peripheral tinnitus, an alteration of outer hair cells (OHC) starting from the stereocilia (SC) occurs. This is common following ototoxic drugs, sound-induced ototoxicity, and acoustic degeneration. In all these conditions, altered coupling between the tectorial membrane (TM) and OHC SC is described. The present review analyzes the complex interactions involving OHC and TM. These need to be clarified to understand which mechanisms may underlie the onset of tinnitus and why the neuropathology of chronic degenerative tinnitus is similar, independent of early triggers. In fact, the fine neuropathology of tinnitus features altered mechanisms of mechanic-electrical transduction (MET) at the level of OHC SC. The appropriate coupling between OHC SC and TM strongly depends on autophagy. The involvement of autophagy may encompass degenerative and genetic tinnitus, as well as ototoxic drugs and acoustic trauma. Defective autophagy explains mitochondrial alterations and altered protein handling within OHC and TM. This is relevant for developing novel treatments that stimulate autophagy without carrying the burden of severe side effects. Specific phytochemicals, such as curcumin and berberin, acting as autophagy activators, may mitigate the neuropathology of tinnitus.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with ototoxicity, which is caused by external factors. Mitophagy plays a key role in maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis and function and is regulated by a series of key mitophagy regulatory proteins and signaling pathways. The results of ototoxicity models indicate the importance of this process in the etiology of ototoxicity. A number of recent investigations of the control of cell fate by mitophagy have enhanced our understanding of the mechanisms by which mitophagy regulates ototoxicity and other hearing-related diseases, providing opportunities for targeting mitochondria to treat ototoxicity.

Abstract
Aminoglycosides exhibit ototoxicity by damaging mitochondria, which in turn generate reactive oxygen species that induce hair cell death and subsequent hearing loss. It is well known that damaged mitochondria are degraded by mitophagy, an important mitochondrial quality control system that maintains mitochondrial homeostasis and ensures cell survival. However, it is unclear whether dysregulation of mitophagy contributes to aminoglycoside-induced hair cell injury. In the current study, we found that PINK1-PRKN-mediated mitophagy was impaired in neomycin-treated hair cells. Our data suggested that mitochondrial recruitment of PRKN and phagophore recognition of damaged mitochondria during mitophagy were blocked following neomycin treatment. In addition, the degradation of damaged mitochondria by lysosomes was significantly decreased as indicated by the mitophagic flux reporter mt-mKeima. Moreover, we demonstrated that neomycin disrupted mitophagy through transcriptional inhibition of Pink1 expression, the key initiator of mitophagy. Moreover, we found that neomycin impaired mitophagy by inducing ATF3 expression. Importantly, treatment with a mitophagy activator could rescue neomycin-treated hair cells by increasing mitophagy, indicating that genetic modulation or drug intervention in mitophagy may have therapeutic potential for aminoglycoside-induced hearing loss.Abbreviations: AAV: adeno-associated virus; ABR: auditory brainstem response; ATF3: activating transcription factor 3; ATOH1/MATH1: atonal bHLH transcription factor 1; BafA1: bafilomycin A1; CCCP: carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazone; COX4I1/COXIV: cytochrome c oxidase subunit 4I1; CTBP2/RIBEYE: C-terminal binding protein 2; DFP: deferiprone; EGFP: enhanced green fluorescent protein; FOXO3: forkhead box O3; GRIA2/GLUR2: glutamate receptor, ionotropic, AMPA2 (alpha 2); HC: hair cell; HSPD1/HSP60: heat shock protein 1 (chaperonin); IHC: inner hair cell; MAP1LC3B/LC3B: microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 beta; MYO7A: myosin VIIA; OPTN: optineurin; OMM: outer mitochondrial membrane; PRKN: parkin RBR E3 ubiquitin protein ligase; PINK1: PTEN induced putative kinase 1; RT-qPCR: real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction; TOMM20/TOM20: translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 20; TUNEL: Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) dUTP nick-end labeling; USP30: ubiquitin specific peptidase 30; XBP1: X-box binding protein 1.

Abstract
Mitochondria are highly dynamic multifaceted organelles with various functions including cellular energy metabolism, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, calcium homeostasis, and apoptosis. Because of these diverse functions, mitochondria are key regulators of cell survival and death, and their dysfunction is implicated in numerous diseases, particularly neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, and Huntington's Disease. One of the most common neurodegenerative disorders is sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). SNHL primarily originates from the degenerative changes in the cochlea, which is the auditory portion of the inner ear. Many cochlear cells contain an abundance of mitochondria and are metabolically highly active, rendering them susceptible to mitochondrial dysfunction. Indeed, the causal role of mitochondrial dysfunction in SNHL progression is well established, and therefore, targeted for treatment. In this review, we aim to compile the emerging findings in the literature indicating the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in the progression of sensorineural hearing loss and highlight potential therapeutics targeting mitochondrial dysfunction for hearing loss treatment.

Abstract
Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is currently a major health issue. As one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases, SNHL is associated with the degradation of hair cells (HCs), spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs), the stria vascularis, supporting cells and central auditory system cells. Autophagy is a highly integrated cellular system that eliminates impaired components and replenishes energy to benefit cellular homeostasis. Etiological links between autophagy alterations and neurodegenerative diseases, such as SNHL, have been established. The hearing pathway is complex and depends on the comprehensive functions of many types of tissues and cells in auditory system. In this review, we discuss the roles of autophagy in promoting and inhibiting hearing, paying particular attention to specific cells in the auditory system, as discerned through research. Hence, our review provides enlightening ideas for the role of autophagy in hearing development and impairment.

Abstract
Gentamicin (GM) is an aminoglycoside antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections. However, its application is accompanied by renal impairments. Apigenin is a flavonoid found in many edible plants with potent therapeutic values. This study was designed to elucidate the therapeutic effects of apigenin on GM-induced nephrotoxicity. Animals were injected orally with three different doses of apigenin (5 mg kg-1 day-1, 10 mg kg-1 day-1, and 20 mg kg-1 day-1). Apigenin administration abolished the alterations in the kidney index and serum levels of kidney-specific functions markers, namely blood urea nitrogen and creatinine, and KIM-1, NGAL, and cystatin C following GM exposure. Additionally, apigenin increased levels of enzymatic (glutathione reductase, glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, and catalase) and non-enzymatic antioxidant proteins (reduced glutathione) and decreased levels of lipid peroxide, nitric oxide, and downregulated nitric oxide synthase-2 in the kidney tissue following GM administration. At the molecular scope, apigenin administration was found to upregulate the mRNA expression of Nfe2l2 and Hmox1 in the kidney tissue. Moreover, apigenin administration suppressed renal inflammation and apoptosis by decreasing levels of interleukin-1β, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, nuclear factor kappa-B, Bax, and caspase-3, while increasing B-cell lymphoma-2 compared with those in GM-administered group. The recorded data suggests that apigenin treatment could be used to alleviate renal impairments associated with GM administration.

The effect of the KDM5A inhibitor CPI-455 was assessed by apoptosis assay, immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, seahorse respirometry assay, and auditory brainstem response test. RNA sequencing, qRT-PCR, and CUT&Tag assays were used to explore the mechanism underlying CPI-455-induced protection. Our results demonstrated that the expression of KDM5A was increased in cisplatin-injured cochlear hair cells compared with controls. CPI-455 treatment markedly declined KDM5A and elevated H3K4 trimethylation levels in cisplatin-injured cochlear hair cells. Moreover, CPI-455 effectively prevented the death of hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons and increased the number of ribbon synapses in a cisplatin-induced ototoxicity mouse model both in vitro and in vivo. In HEI-OC1 cells, KDM5A knockdown reduced reactive oxygen species accumulation and improved mitochondrial membrane potential and oxidative phosphorylation under cisplatin-induced stress. Mechanistically, through transcriptomics and epigenomics analyses, a set of apoptosis-related genes, including Sos1, Sos2, and Map3k3, were regulated by CPI-455. Altogether, our findings indicate that inhibition of KDM5A may represent an effective epigenetic therapeutic target for preventing cisplatin-induced hearing loss.

Abstract
Oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathogenesis of aminoglycoside-induced hearing loss and represents a promising target for treatment. We tested the potential effect of apigenin, a natural flavonoid with anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities, on neomycin-induced ototoxicity in cochlear hair cells in vitro. Results showed that apigenin significantly ameliorated the loss of hair cells and the accumulation of reactive oxygen species upon neomycin injury. Further evidence suggested that the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling pathway was activated by apigenin treatment. Disruption of the Nrf2 axis abolished the effects of apigenin on the alleviation of oxidative stress and subsequent apoptosis of hair cells. This study provided evidence of the protective effect of apigenin on cochlear hair cells and its underlying mechanism.

Abstract
Interferon regulatory factor‐7 (IRF7) is an essential regulator of both innate and adaptive immunity. It is also expressed in the otic vesicle of zebrafish embryos. However, any role for irf7 in hair cell development was uncharacterized. Does it work as a potential deaf gene to regulate hair cell development? We used whole‐mount in situ hybridization (WISH) assay and morpholino‐mediated gene knockdown method to investigate the role of irf7 in the development of otic vesicle hair cells during zebrafish embryogenesis. We performed RNA sequencing to gain a detailed insight into the molecules/genes which are altered upon downregulation of irf7. Compared to the wild‐type siblings, knockdown of irf7 resulted in severe developmental retardation in zebrafish embryos as well as loss of neuromasts and damage to hair cells at an early stage (within 3 days post fertilization). Coinjection of zebrafish irf7 mRNA could partially rescued the defects of the morphants. atp1b2b mRNA injection can also partially rescue the phenotype induced by irf7 gene deficiency. Loss of hair cells in irf7‐morphants does not result from cell apoptosis. Gene expression profiles show that, compared to wild‐type, knockdown of irf7 can lead to 2053 and 2678 genes being upregulated and downregulated, respectively. Among them, 18 genes were annotated to hair cell (HC) development or posterior lateral line (PLL) development. All results suggest that irf7 plays an essential role in hair cell development in zebrafish, indicating that irf7 may be a member of deafness gene family.

Abstract
Inner ear hair cells (HCs) and spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) are the core components of the auditory system. However, they are vulnerable to genetic defects, noise exposure, ototoxic drugs and aging, and loss or damage of HCs and SGNs results in permanent hearing loss due to their limited capacity for spontaneous regeneration in mammals. Many efforts have been made to combat hearing loss including cochlear implants, HC regeneration, gene therapy, and antioxidant drugs. Here we review the role of autophagy in sensorineural hearing loss and the potential targets related to autophagy for the treatment of hearing loss.

Abstract
Gentamicin (GM) is a commonly used antibiotic, and ototoxicity is one of its side effects. Puerarin (PU) is an isoflavone in kudzu roots that exerts a number of pharmacological effects, including antioxidative and free radical scavenging effects. The present study investigated whether PU could protect against GM-induced ototoxicity in C57BL/6J mice and House Ear Institute-Organ of Corti 1 (HEI-OC1) cells. C57BL/6J mice and HEI-OC1 cells were used to establish models of GM-induced ototoxicity in this study. Auditory brainstem responses were measured to assess hearing thresholds, and microscopy was used to observe the morphology of cochlear hair cells after fluorescent staining. Cell viability was examined with Cell Counting Kit-8 assays. To evaluate cell apoptosis and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, TUNEL assays, reverse transcription-quantitative PCR, DCFH-DA staining, JC-1 staining and western blotting were performed. PU protected against GM-induced hearing damage in C57BL/6J mice. PU ameliorated the morphological changes of mouse cochlear hair cells and reduced the apoptosis rate of HEI-OC1 cells after GM-mediated damage. GM-induced ototoxicity may be closely related to the upregulation of p53 expression and the activation of endogenous mitochondrial apoptosis pathways, and PU could protect cochlear hair cells from GM-mediated damage by reducing the production of ROS and inhibiting the mitochondria-dependent apoptosis pathway.

Abstract
As a general sensory disorder, hearing loss was a major concern worldwide. Autophagy is a common cellular reaction to stress that degrades cytoplasmic waste through the lysosome pathway. Autophagy not only plays major roles in maintaining intracellular homeostasis but is also involved in the development and pathogenesis of many diseases. In the auditory system, several studies revealed the link between autophagy and hearing protection. In this review, we aimed to establish the correlation between autophagy and hair cells (HCs) from the aspects of ototoxic drugs, aging, and acoustic trauma and discussed whether autophagy could serve as a potential measure in the protection of HCs.

Abstract
Gentamicin (GM), an aminoglycoside antibiotic, is one commonly used clinical drugs with ototoxic side effects. One of the most principal mechanisms of its ototoxicity is that GM can activate caspase-mediated cell death pathways in the cochlea. Since the anti-apoptotic protein known as X-linked Inhibitor of Apoptosis Protein (XIAP) has been reported to directly bind to activated caspase protein and inhibit their activities, we hypothesized that it might protect cochlea hair cells from GM ototoxicity. To evaluate this hypothesis, postnatal day 2-3 (P2-3) transgenic (TG) mice, in which XIAP gene is over-expressed under a pure C57BL/6J genetic background was constructed. We first extracted the cochlea tissue of normal mice and treated them with different concentrations of GM, and the number of hair cells were observed to determine the concentration of GM used in subsequent experiments. Next, we used Western Blot experiment to examine the effect of GM on XIAP protein expression in normal mouse cochlea, and then Western Blot and RT-PCR experiments were used to identify the transgenic mice. Finally, immunofluorescence assays were used to detect the effect of GM on the expression of caspase protein and verify the protective effect of XIAP. We found that GM at a concentration of 0.5 mM significantly affected the function of cochlea hair cells, up-regulating the expression of cleaved-caspase-3 and cleaved-caspase-9 protein but down-regulating XIAP protein. In the cochlea tissues of TG mice, this effect of GM was suppressed, and the destruction of hair cells was significantly reduced, and the cleaved-caspase-3 and cleaved-caspase-9 proteins were significantly suppressed. These results suggested that XIAP reduces GM-induced ototoxicity and caspase-3/9 pathway is associated with this process.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a recently discovered iron-dependent form of oxidative programmed cell death distinct from caspase-dependent apoptosis. In this study, we investigated the effect of ferroptosis in neomycin-induced hair cell loss by using selective ferroptosis inhibitor liproxstatin-1 (Lip-1). Cell viability was identified by CCK8 assay. The levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were determined by DCFH-DA and cellROX green staining. The mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) was evaluated by TMRM staining. Intracellular iron and lipid peroxides were detected with Mito-FerroGreen and Liperfluo probes. We found that ferroptosis can be induced in both HEI-OC1 cells and neonatal mouse cochlear explants, as evidenced by Mito-FerroGreen and Liperfluo staining. Further experiments showed that pretreatment with Lip-1 significantly alleviated neomycin-induced increased ROS generation and disruption in ΔΨm in the HEI-OC1 cells. In parallel, Lip-1 significantly attenuated neomycin-induced hair cell damage in neonatal mouse cochlear explants. Collectively, these results suggest a novel mechanism for neomycin-induced ototoxicity and suggest that ferroptosis inhibition may be a new clinical intervention to prevent hearing loss.

Abstract
Clearance of dysfunctional mitochondria via mitophagy is essential for cell survival and cochlear functions. However, it is not clear which genes are significantly involved in this process. Here, we investigated the changes in mitophagy and mitophagy-associated genes in mouse auditory cells to determine a possible correlation between mitophagy and age-related hearing loss (ARHL). Here, we show that most transcripts associated with mitophagy were downregulated in an age-dependent manner. We identified one significant differentially expressed gene associated with mitophagy, BCL2 interacting protein 3-like (BNIP3L)/NIX. Mitophagy-inhibited cells with BNIP3L/NIX knockdown showed hyperresponsiveness to oxidative stress resulting in cell senescence with increased levels of TOMM20 and LC3B. Overexpression of BNIP3L/NIX promotes the degradation of TOMM20 and LC3B during premature cell senescence. In conclusion, BNIP3L/NIX may play an important role in mitochondria degradation maintaining cochlear cell homeostasis during the aging process of hearing.

Abstract
Hair cells (HCs) function as important sensory receptors that can detect movement in their immediate environment. HCs in the inner ear can sense acoustic signals, while in aquatic vertebrates HCs can also detect movements, vibrations, and pressure gradients in the surrounding water. Many genes are responsible for the development of HCs, and developmental defects in HCs can lead to hearing loss and other sensory dysfunctions. Here, we found that the solute carrier family 4, member 2b (slc4a2b) gene, which is a member of the anion-exchange family, is expressed in the otic vesicles and lateral line neuromasts in developing zebrafish embryos. An in silico analysis showed that the slc4a2b is evolutionarily conserved, and we found that loss of function of slc4a2b resulted in a decreased number of HCs in zebrafish neuromasts due to increased HC apoptosis. Taken together, we conclude that slc4a2b plays a critical role in the development of HCs in zebrafish.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a recently recognized form of non‐apoptotic cell death caused by an iron‐dependent accumulation of lipid hydroperoxides, which plays important roles in a wide spectrum of pathological conditions. The present study was aimed to investigate the impact of ferroptosis on cisplatin‐induced sensory hair cell damage. Cell viability was determined by Cell Counting Kit‐8 and lactase dehydrogenase assays. The reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were evaluated by 2,7‐Dichlorodi‐hydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH‐DA) and MitoSox‐Red staining. Mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) was measured by tetramethylrhodamine methyl ester (TMRM) staining. Lipid peroxidation, intracellular and mitochondrial iron were detected by Liperfluo, C11‐BODIPY581/591, FerroOrange and Mito‐FerroGreen, respectively. We found that cisplatin treatment not only markedly augmented ROS accumulation, decreased the MMP, but increased lipid peroxidation and iron accumulation in House Ear Institute‐Organ of Corti 1 (HEI‐OC1) cells. Of note, treatment with the specific ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin‐1 could effectively abrogate the cisplatin‐induced toxicity and subsequent cell death. Specifically, the improvement of mitochondrial functions is important mechanisms for protective action of ferroptosis inhibitor against cisplatin‐induced damages in HEI‐OC1 cells. Moreover, inhibition of ferroptosis significantly protected murine cochlear hair cells against cisplatin damage. In addition, treatment murine cochlear hair cells with ferroptosis inducer, RSL3, significantly exacerbated cisplatin‐induced damage, which could be alleviated by ROS inhibitor N‐acetyl‐L‐cysteine. Collectively, our study indicated that ferroptosis inhibition could alleviate the cisplatin‐induced ototoxicity via inactivation of lipid peroxide radical and improvement of mitochondrial function in hair cells.

Abstract
Increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) significantly contributed to the pathogenesis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Recent studies suggest that hypoxia upregulated the long noncoding RNA taurine upregulated gene 1 (TUG1). In this study, we explored the functional significance and molecular mechanisms of TUG1/miR-132-3p axis in ischemia-challenged cardiomyocytes. In primary cardiomyocytes challenged with H2O2, expressions of miR-132-3p, TUG1, and other target proteins were measured by RT quantitative PCR or Western blot analysis; cell viability by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazolyl-2)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay; apoptosis by annexin V and propidium iodide staining; the abundance of acetylated H3K9 or histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) within the promoter of target genes by chromatin immunoprecipitation; the direct interaction between miR-132-3p and HDAC3 or TUG1 by luciferase reporter assay. The biological significance of miR-132-3p, TUG1, and HDAC3 was assessed using miR-132-3p mimic, siRNA-targeting TUG1 and HDAC3 inhibitor RGF966, respectively, in H2O2-challenged cells in vitro or ischemia-reperfusion (I/R)-induced AMI in vivo. miR-132-3p was downregulated, whereas TUG1 upregulated in H2O2-challenged cardiomyocytes. Overexpressing miR-132-3p or knocking down TUG1 significantly improved viability, inhibited apoptosis, and reduced ROS production in H2O2-stressed cardiomyocytes in vitro and alleviated I/R-induced AMI in vivo. Mechanistically, TUG1 sponged miR-132-3p and upregulated HDAC3, which reduced the acetylation of H3K9 and epigenetically inhibited expressions of antioxidative genes, including Bcl-xL, Prdx2, and Hsp70. The TUG1/miR-132-3p/HDAC3 axis critically regulates ROS production and the pathogenic development of AMI. Targeting TUG1, upregulating miR-132-3p, or inhibiting HDAC3 may benefit AMI treatment.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) significantly contributed to the pathogenesis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Recent studies suggest that hypoxia upregulated the long noncoding RNA taurine upregulated gene 1 (TUG1). However, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. In the present study, we reported for the first time that H2O2 or ischemia-reperfusion-induced TUG1, by sponging microRNA 132-3p, activated histone deacetylase 3, which in turn targeted multiple protective genes, stimulated intracellular ROS accumulation, and aggravated the injury of AMI. Our findings might provide some insight to seek new targets for AMI treatment.
