ABSTRACT
AIM:
To comprehensively analyze cochlear gene expressions related to innate immunity and glucocorticoid signaling at onset of acute noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL).BACKGROUND:
Recent studies suggested innate immunity is involved in the cochlear pathology of NIHL. Glucocorticoids may modulate immune actions in cochleae.METHODS:
Mice were exposed to 120 dB-octave band noise for 2âhours. Twelve hours later, a targeted PCR array analyzed cochlear expressions of 84 key genes in inflammation and immune pathways and 84 genes in the glucocorticoid signaling pathway. Real-time RT-PCR was used to analyze expression of two immune-related genes, Ccl12 and Glycam1, in noise-exposed cochleae with or without dexamethasone.RESULT:
In inflammatory and immune gene pathways, 31.0% (26/84 genes) were significantly upregulated (>2-fold change) or downregulated (<0.5-fold change) (pâ<â0.05) in noise-exposed cochleae compared with controls. Sixteen of these differentially expressed genes (DEGs) encoded chemokines. DEGs included Ccl12, Ccl2, Ccl4, Ccl7, Cxcl1, Cxcl10, and Ptgs2 (upregulated genes), and Ccr7, Cxcr2, Kng1, Ltb, and Tnfsf14 (downregulated genes). In the glucocorticoid signaling pathway, 92.9% (78/84 genes) were unchanged in noise-exposed cochleae without dexamethasone administration. Cochlear expressions of Ccl12 and Glycam1 were significantly upregulated by noise and downregulated by dexamethasone.CONCLUSION:
The targeted PCR array demonstrated that several dozen genes involved in innate immunity are actively regulated in cochleae with NIHL. The glucocorticoid signaling pathway was not endogenously regulated at 12âhours post-noise trauma. Systemic dexamethasone downregulated Ccl12 and Glycam1, which are upregulated in noise-exposed cochleae. These data may provide a basis for genomic medicine treatment of acute sensorineural hearing loss.
