LID - BSR20181749 [pii] LID - 10.1042/BSR20181749 [doi] AB - Aminoglycoside antibiotics-induced hearing loss is a common sensorineural impairment. Spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) are first-order neurons of the auditory pathway and are critical for the maintenance of normal hearing. In the present study, we investigated the time-course of morphological changes and the degeneration process of spiral ganglion cells (SGCs) following chronic kanamycin-induced deafness and determined whether the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress was involved in the degeneration of SGNs. We detected density changes in SGCs and the expressions of Bip, inositol requirement 1 (IRE1)alpha, activating transcription factor-6alpha, p-PERK, p-eIF2alpha, CHOP, and caspase-12 at each time point after kanamycin treatment. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining was also performed. The number of SGC deletions reached approximately 50% at the 70th day after kanamycin administration and the ER of most SGCs were dilated. The expression of p-PERK, p-eIF2alpha, p-IRE1alpha, Bip, caspase-12, and Chop was significantly unregulated after kanamycin treatment. The number of SGCs that were positive for both TUNEL and caspase-12 increased from day 7 to 28. Taken together, these data demonstrate that ER stress was involved in kanamycin-induced apoptosis of SGNs. Kanamycin-induced SGN apoptosis is mediated, at least in part, by ER stress-induced upregulation of CHOP and caspase-12. CI - (c) 2019 The Author(s).
