While various strategies to mitigate this toxicity have been explored, there remains a critical need for effective treatments. A major challenge in developing new therapies is the lack of reliable animal models that accurately replicate the clinical use of cisplatin in humans, which typically involves multiple cycles of low-dose administration. Traditional models using high doses of cisplatin have resulted in high mortality and variable hearing loss, complicating the assessment of potential treatments. To address this, a multi-cycle model using lower cisplatin doses in mice was developed, providing hearing loss without mortality. However, variability in outcomes across different research groups persisted. In the present study, we optimize the multi-cycle model of cisplatin-induced ototoxicity by using clinical-grade cisplatin rather than laboratory-grade formulations. The use of clinical cisplatin ensures greater consistency, reliability, and relevance to human treatment protocols, as it adheres to the rigorous quality standards required for patient use. This new administration protocol will minimize variability across research laboratories and more accurately mimic the dosing regimens typically administered to cancer patients. Additionally, we have enhanced a zebrafish model for high-throughput screening of potential therapeutics, further improving the consistency of results. These improvements to the animal models are critical for accelerating the discovery and testing of therapies to prevent cisplatin-induced hearing loss, supporting the development of effective treatments for cancer patients undergoing cisplatin chemotherapy.</p>","PeriodicalId":12432,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience","volume":"19 ","pages":"1552051"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11919870/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143663101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effects of PTN on microglia and oligodendrocytes are not well described. Here, we examined how PTN administration alters the differentiation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) into mature oligodendrocytes in the presence of CSPGs using <i>in vitro</i> cell culture model. Moreover, we explored the effects of PTN on the inflammatory activity of microglia with and without inflammatory stimulation (IFN-<i>γ</i>) in a CSPG-rich environment. The data showed that the CSPG matrix inhibited the differentiation of OPCs into mature oligodendrocytes. PTN induced dose-dependent differentiation of OPCs into mature oligodendrocytes, with an optimal effect at 10 nM PTN. Moreover, PTN modified the immunological response of microglia in the presence of CSPGs, with reduced proinflammatory activity that was further reduced by PTN administration, in contrast to the increased release of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP 9). However, when IFN-<i>γ</i>-activated microglia were treated with PTN, proinflammatory signaling was stimulated at higher PTN concentrations (10 nM and 100 nM). Overall, our results indicate that PTN can overcome the inhibitory effect of CSPGs on the differentiation of OPCs into oligodendrocytes and can modulate inflammation mediated by CSPGs from microglia. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that PTN can effectively counteract the inhibitory effects of CSPGs on the differentiation of OPCs into mature oligodendrocytes while also modulating microglial responses to reduce proinflammatory activity and increase MMP-9 release.
