LID - 10.3390/jcm12103485 [doi] LID - 3485 AB - Spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) connect cochlear hair cells with higher auditory pathways and their degeneration due to drug toxicity (ototoxicity) contributes to hearing loss. This study aimed to identify drug classes that are negatively correlated with the transcriptome of regenerating SGNs. Human orthologs of differentially expressed genes within the regenerating neonatal mouse SGN transcriptome were entered into CMap and the LINCS unified environment and perturbation-driven gene expression was analyzed. The CMap connectivity scores ranged from 100 (positive correlation) to -100 (negative correlation). Insulin-like growth factor 1/receptor (IGF-1/R) inhibitors were highly negatively correlated with the regenerating SGN transcriptome (connectivity score: -98.87). A systematic literature review of clinical trials and observational studies reporting otologic adverse events (AEs) with IGF-1/R inhibitors identified 108 reports (6141 treated patients). Overall, 16.9% of the treated patients experienced any otologic AE; the rate was highest for teprotumumab (42.9%). In a meta-analysis of two randomized placebo-controlled trials of teprotumumab, there was a significantly higher risk of hearing-related (pooled Peto OR [95% CI]: 7.95 [1.57, 40.17]) and of any otologic AEs (3.56 [1.35, 9.43]) with teprotumumab vs. a placebo, whether or not dizziness/vertigo AEs were included. These results call for close audiological monitoring during IGF-1-targeted treatment, with prompt referral to an otolaryngologist should otologic AEs develop.
