A PRMT5 inhibitor protects against noise-induced hearing loss by alleviating ROS accumulation

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of LLY-283, a selective inhibitor of protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5), on a noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) mouse model and to identify a potential target for a therapeutic intervention against NIHL. Eight-week-old male C57BL/6 mice w...

description The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of LLY-283, a selective inhibitor of protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5), on a noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) mouse model and to identify a potential target for a therapeutic intervention against NIHL. Eight-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were used. The auditory brainstem response was measured 2 days after noise exposure. The apoptosis of hair cells (HCs) was detected by caspase-3/7 staining, whereas the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was measured by 4-HNE staining. We demonstrated that the death of HCs and loss of cochlear synaptic ribbons induced by noise exposure could be significantly reduced by the presence of LLY-283. LLY-283 pretreatment before noise exposure notably decreased 4-HNE and caspase-3/7 levels in the cochlear HCs. We also noticed that the number of spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) was notably increased after LLY-283 pretreatment. Furthermore, we showed that LLY-283 could increase the expression level of p-AKT in the SGNs. The underlying mechanism involves alleviation of ROS accumulation and activation of the PI3K/AKT pathway, indicating that LLY-283 might be a potential candidate for therapeutic intervention against NIHL.
