Abstract AmisLong noncoding RNA has been reported to play important role in various disease. However, the function of lncRNA in age-related hearing loss still unclear. The aim of our study is to investigate the function and mechanism of lncRNA Gm44593 in AHLMaterials and methodsATP content, JC-1 assay, mitochondrial content, cell death rates and dual-luciferase reporter assay were performed to assess the function of lncRNA Gm44593 in HEI-OC1 cells and the mouse cochlea.ResultsThe expression of lncRNA Gm44593 was significantly upregulated upon H2O2 and starvation treatment. Overexpression of lncRNA Gm44593 manifestly reduced the cell death rates. The ATP content, mtDNA content and mitochondrial membrane potential were alleviated upon overexpression of lncRNA Gm44593. We also proved that miR-29b is the direct target of lncRNA Gm44593. Overexpression of miR-29b completely restored the effect induced by lncRNA Gm44593. In addition, we provided evidences that WNK1 is the direct target of miR-29b.Conclusionour research uncovers the role of lncRNA Gm44593 in age-related hearing loss. We provide new insights into potential therapeutic targets for the amelioration of age-related hearing loss.

Age Related Hearing Loss

Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) disorder has been found in many kinds of age-associated diseases. However, the role of lncRNA in the development of age-related hearing loss (AHL) is still largely unknown. This study sought to uncover AHL-associated lncRNAs and the function. RNA-sequencing was conducted to profile lncRNA expression in the cochlea of an early-onset AHL mouse model. RT-qPCR assay was used to validate the expression pattern of lncRNAs. ATP assay, JC-1 assay, mitochondrial probe staining, CCK-8 assay, Western blot, and immunocytochemistry were performed to detect the effects of lncRNA AW112010 in HEI-OC1 cells and the mouse cochlea. We identified 88 significantly upregulated lncRNAs and 46 significantly downregulated lncRNAs in the cochlea of aged C57BL/6 mice. We focused on the significantly upregulated AW112010. Silencing of AW112010 decreased the ATP level, mitochondrial membrane potential, and cell viability and increased mitochondrial ROS generation under oxidative stress in HEI-OC1 cells. AW112010 overexpression promoted cell survival in HEI-OC1 cells. AW112010 knockdown reduced mitochondrial mass and impaired mitochondrial biogenesis in HEI-OC1 cells. Activation of mitochondrial biogenesis by resveratrol and STR1720 promoted cell survival. The mitochondrial biogenesis process was activated in the cochlea of aged mice. Moreover, AW112010 regulated AMPK signaling in HEI-OC1 cells. Transcription factor Arid5b elevated in the aged cochlea and induced AW112010 expression and mitochondrial biogenesis in HEI-OC1 cells. Taken together, lncRNAs are dysregulated with aging in the cochlea of C57BL/6 mice. The Arid5b/AW112010 signaling was induced in the aged mouse cochlea and positively modulated the mitochondrial biogenesis to maintain mitochondrial function.

Mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with the etiologies of sensorineural hearing loss, such as age-related hearing loss, noise- and ototoxic drug-induced hearing loss, as well as hearing loss due to mitochondrial gene mutation. Mitochondria are the main sources of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and ROS-induced oxidative stress is involved in cochlear damage. Moreover, the release of ROS causes further damage to mitochondrial components. Antioxidants are thought to counteract the deleterious effects of ROS and thus, may be effective for the treatment of oxidative stress-related diseases. The administration of mitochondria-targeted antioxidants is one of the drug delivery systems targeted to mitochondria. Mitochondria-targeted antioxidants are expected to help in the prevention and/or treatment of diseases associated with mitochondrial dysfunction. Of the various mitochondria-targeted antioxidants, the protective effects of MitoQ and SkQR1 against ototoxicity have been previously evaluated in animal models and/or mouse auditory cell lines. MitoQ protects against both gentamicin- and cisplatin-induced ototoxicity. SkQR1 also provides auditory protective effects against gentamicin-induced ototoxicity. On the other hand, decreasing effect of MitoQ on gentamicin-induced cell apoptosis in auditory cell lines has been controversial. No clinical studies have been reported for otoprotection using mitochondrial-targeted antioxidants. High-quality clinical trials are required to reveal the therapeutic effect of mitochondria-targeted antioxidants in terms of otoprotection in patients.

Age Related Hearing Loss

Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is an increasing and gradual sensorineural hearing dysfunction. Oxidative stress is an essential factor in developing ARHL; additionally, premature senescence of auditory cells induced by oxidative stress can produce hearing loss. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) represents a method commonly used to generate cellular senescence in vitro. The objective of the present paper is to study H2O2-induced senescence patterns in three auditory cell lines (House Ear Institute-Organ of Corti 1, HEI-OC1; organ of Corti, OC-k3, and stria vascularis, SV-k1 cells) to elucidate the intrinsic mechanisms responsible for ARHL. The auditory cells were exposed to H2O2 at different concentrations and times. The results obtained show different responses of the hearing cells concerning cell growth, β-galactosidase activity, morphological changes, mitochondrial activation, levels of oxidative stress, and other markers of cell damage (Forkhead box O3a, FoxO3a, and 8-oxoguanine, 8-oxoG). Comparison between the responses of these auditory cells to H2O2 is a helpful method to evaluate the molecular mechanisms responsible for these auditory cells’ senescence. Furthermore, this in vitro model could help develop anti-senescent therapeutic strategies for the treatment of AHRL.

AbstractAge-related hearing loss (AHL) is a progressive sensorineural hearing loss in elderly people. Although no prevention or treatments have been established for AHL, recent studies have demonstrated that oxidative stress is closely related to pathogenesis of AHL, suggesting that suppression of oxidative stress leads to inhibition of AHL progression. NRF2 is a master transcription factor that regulates various antioxidant proteins and cytoprotection factors. To examine whether NRF2 pathway activation prevents AHL, we used Keap1-knockdown (Keap1FA/FA) mice, in which KEAP1, a negative regulator of NRF2, is decreased, resulting in the elevation of NRF2 activity. We compared 12-month-old Keap1FA/FA mice with age-matched wild-type (WT) mice in the same breeding colony. In the Keap1FA/FA mice, the expression levels of multiple NRF2 target genes were verified to be significantly higher than the expression levels of these genes in the WT mice. Histological analysis showed that cochlear degeneration at the apical and middle turns was ameliorated in the Keap1FA/FA mice. Auditory brainstem response (ABR) thresholds in the Keap1FA/FA mice were significantly lower than those in the WT mice, in particular at low–mid frequencies. Immunohistochemical detection of oxidative stress markers suggested that oxidative stress accumulation was attenuated in the Keap1FA/FA cochlea. Thus, we concluded that NRF2 pathway activation protects the cochlea from oxidative damage during aging, in particular at the apical and middle turns. KEAP1-inhibiting drugs and phytochemicals are expected to be effective in the prevention of AHL.

Age Related Hearing Loss

Presbycusis, or age-related hearing loss, is a prevalent disease that severely affects the physical and mental health of the elderly. Oxidative stress and mitochondrial (mt)DNA deletion mutation are considered as major factors in the pathophysiology of age-related hearing loss. The 4977-bp deletion in human mtDNA (common deletion, corresponding to the 4834-bp mtDNA deletion in rats) is suggested to be closely associated with the pathogenesis of age-related hearing loss. Superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2), an isoform of SOD that is exclusively expressed in the intracellular mitochondrial matrix, plays a crucial role in oxidative resistance against mitochondrial superoxide. Previous research has shown that methylation of the promoter region of the SOD2 gene decreased the expression of SOD2 in marginal cells (MCs) extracted from the inner ear of rats subjected to D-galactose-induced mtDNA4834 deletion. However, the relationship between SOD2 methylation and mtDNA4834 deletion under oxidative stress remains to be elucidated. Herein, an oxidative damage model was established in the extracted MCs using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), which increased the methylation level of SOD2 and the copy number of mtDNA4834 mutation in MCs. Decreasing the methylation level of SOD2 using 5-azacytidine, a DNA methylation inhibitor, reduced oxidative stress and the copy number of mtDNA4834 mutation and inhibited H2O2-induced apoptosis. The present work demonstrates that decreasing the methylation of SOD2 suppresses the mtDNA4834 deletion in MCs under oxidative stress and provides potential insights to the intervention therapy of aging-related hearing loss.
