Understanding of the neurophysiologic, structural, and molecular biologic bases of age-related hearing loss will facilitate development of biomedical therapeutic interventions to prevent, slow, or reverse its progression. Thus, increased understanding of relationships between aging of the cochlear (auditory portion of the inner ear) hair cell system and decline in overall hearing ability is necessary. The goal of the present investigation was to test the hypothesis that there would be correlations between physiologic measures of outer hair cell function (otoacoustic emission levels) and hearing sensitivity (auditory brainstem response thresholds), starting in middle age. For the CBA mouse, a useful animal model of age-related hearing loss, it was found that correlations between these two hearing measures occurred only for high sound frequencies in middle age. However, in old age, a correlation was observed across the entire mouse range of hearing. These findings have implications for improved early detection of progression of age-related hearing loss in middle-aged mammals, including mice and humans, and distinguishing peripheral etiologies from central auditory system decline.","PeriodicalId":89447,"journal":{"name":"Open access animal physiology","volume":"2 ","pages":"9-16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3159169/pdf/nihms306056.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"30097676","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We have found that this response depends on the assembly and activation of an ATP-dependent proton pump, the vacuolar ATPase (vATPase). Previously, we have shown that the classic vATPase inhibitors concanamycin and bafilomycin can inhibit zymogen activation induced experimentally by high doses of the cholecystokinin orthologue, cerulein (CER) in isolated acinar cells. Recent studies have questioned the specificity of these inhibitors. In the current study we examine the role of the vATPase in pancreatitis using the newly developed novel vATPase inhibitors lobatomide-B and salicylihalamide-A as well as a genetic approach using siRNA. Both lobatomide-B and salicylihalamide-A inhibited CER stimulated zymogen (trypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen) activation but had no effect on amylase secretion. Lobatomide-B (0.1μM) was more potent, reducing activation to baseline levels. Treatment of cells with siRNA specific for the vATPase E-subunit (V1E) significantly decreased V1E expression. V1E siRNA also significantly decreased chymotrypsinogen activation, but not amylase secretion. These studies confirm a role for the vATPase in zymogen activation and demonstrate that the novel and specific inhibitors lobatomide-B and salicylihalamide-A reduce early pancreatitis responses.","PeriodicalId":89447,"journal":{"name":"Open access animal physiology","volume":"2009 1","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3092382/pdf/nihms257871.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"29884289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
