Abstract
The present study aimed to clarify the protective effect of adenosine receptors against the excitotoxicity of cochlear afferent dendrites. The effects of 2-chloro-N6-cyclopentyladenosine (CCPA), an A1 adenosine receptor agonist, and 5'-N-cyclopropyl-carboxamidoadenosine (CPCA), an A2A adenosine receptor agonist, on cochlear excitotoxicity induced by kainic acid (KA) were examined using guinea pigs. KA was applied to the round window membrane at a concentration of 10mM for 30 min. CCPA or CPCA was given at the onset of KA application. KA morphologically induced the swelling of cochlear afferent dendrites and significantly elevated the threshold of the compound action potential (CAP) of the cochlea. CCPA inhibited the KA-induced CAP threshold shift and swelling of the cochlear afferent dendrites. However, CPCA did not affect cochlear excitotoxicity induced by KA. The results suggest that adenosine A1 receptor activation could prevent the excitotoxicity of cochlear afferent dendrites.
