Protective Efficacy of T-type, Calcium Channel Antagonist on Auditory Function in Cdh23 Erl/Erl Mice.
Context: In normal physiological conditions, calcium ions (Ca2+) have an important effect in terms of the regulation of hair cell (HC) functions, and T-type calcium antagonists may be protective against hearing loss. However, no studies have occurred related to a T-type calcium-channel antagonist with regard to otoprotection in a Cdh23 mouse model.
Objective: The study intended to examine the protective efficacy of ethosuximide-a T-type calcium-channel antagonist-against age-related hearing loss in a Cadherin 23 (Cdh23) erl/erl mouse model, to potentially offer an insight and foundation for therapy in the near future for patients in clinical practice who suffer from age-related hearing loss.
Design: The research team conducted an animal study.
Animals: The animals were 12 male and 12 female, Cdh23 erl/erl mice.
Intervention: The research team randomly divided the mice into two groups, with 12 mice in each group: (1) the control group, the saline group, which received saline at 10 mL/kg of body weight, and (2) the intervention group, the ethosuximide group, which received ethosuximide at 10 mL/kg of body weight. Both groups received the treatments intraperitoneally every other day, beginning postnatally at 7 days until the mice were 8 weeks old.
Outcome measures: For both groups, the research team: (1) measured auditory brainstem response (ABR); (2) measured distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) at 4, 6, and 8 weeks of age; (3) separated the basilar membrane from the modiolus and lateral tissues and determined the percentage of inner-and-outer hair-cell (IHC and OHC) loss; (4) investigated relative levels of apoptosis-related gene mRNA using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (PCR); and (5) examined relative levels of apoptosis-related protein, using immunofluorescent (IF) staining.
Results: Compared to the saline group, the ethosuximide group: (1) had significantly lower ABR thresholds for click at 8 weeks, for 8 KHz at 6 and 8 weeks, and for 16 KHz and 32 KHz (all P < .01); (2) had significantly higher DPOAE amplitudes at 4 weeks at 15.4 KHz and 17.7 KHz (both P < .01); at 6 weeks at 8.8 KHz (P < .05), 10.1 KHz (P < .01), 11.7 KHz (P < .01), 13.4 KHz (P < .01), 15.4 KHz (P < .01), and 17.7 KHz (P < .01); and at 8 weeks at 6.7 KHz (P < .05), 7.7 KHz (P < .05), 10.1 KHz (P < .01), 11.7 KHz (P < .01), 13.4 KHz (P < .01), 15.4 KHz (P < .01), and 17.7 KHz (P < .01); (3) had significantly lower OHC loss in the middle and basal turns of the cochlea's surface (both P < .05); (4) at the age of 2 months, had significantly lower mRNA relative levels of apoptosis-related genes, including caspase-3, caspase-9, caspase-12, m-calpain and u-calpain, as found using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR); and (5) had weaker protein levels of caspase-3 and caspase-9 in the inner ears, as found using immunofluorescent (IF) staining.
Conclusions: T-type calcium-channel antagonists can exert protective efficacy in terms of the hearing function among cdh23 erl/erl mouse.
期刊介绍:
Launched in 1995, Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine has a mission to promote the art and science of integrative medicine and a responsibility to improve public health. We strive to maintain the highest standards of ethical medical journalism independent of special interests that is timely, accurate, and a pleasure to read. We publish original, peer-reviewed scientific articles that provide health care providers with continuing education to promote health, prevent illness, and treat disease. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine was the first journal in this field to be indexed in the National Library of Medicine. In 2006, 2007, and 2008, ATHM had the highest impact factor ranking of any independently published peer-reviewed CAM journal in the United States—meaning that its research articles were cited more frequently than any other journal’s in the field.
Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine does not endorse any particular system or method but promotes the evaluation and appropriate use of all effective therapeutic approaches. Each issue contains a variety of disciplined inquiry methods, from case reports to original scientific research to systematic reviews. The editors encourage the integration of evidence-based emerging therapies with conventional medical practices by licensed health care providers in a way that promotes a comprehensive approach to health care that is focused on wellness, prevention, and healing. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine hopes to inform all licensed health care practitioners about developments in fields other than their own and to foster an ongoing debate about the scientific, clinical, historical, legal, political, and cultural issues that affect all of health care.
