Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the P19ink4d expression in cochlea of mice model with noise induced hearing loss and the role of P19ink4d in the degeneration of inner ear cells. It also searched for P19ink4d gene alterations in patients with profound sensorineural deafness.Method: CBA/J mice were exposed to broad band noise at 101 dB SPL for 2 hours, auditory brainstem response (ABR) were examined to confirm noise lead to the permanent threshold shift. Immunohistochemical staining, Western blotting, and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were performed on cochlear tissues, to elucidate changes in P19ink4d expression in mice after noise exposure. For clinical evaluation, 400 children from unrelated families with severe or profound sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) were recruited, genomic DNA was obtained from the patients and was subjected to DNA microarray to screen mutations in 4 most common genes. The sample that carried none of the common mutant alleles were subjected to PCR and sequenced to detect mutations in P19ink4d gene.Result: The ABR threshold shift of mice in the experimental group significantly increased after noise exposure and was higher than that in the null-noise group. The ABR of 1 day post no...Continue Reading
