噪声对豚鼠耳蜗核一氧化氮合酶阳性神经元及其基因表达的…

NADPH-diaphorase (NADPH-d) histochemistry method and semiquantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology were adopted to study nitric oxide synthase (NOS) neurons and to investigate the content change of NOS mRNA and the relationship between it and auditory threshold and to explore the possible role of NOS neurons in cochlear nuclei of guinea pigs after exposed to white noise. The results showed that the quantity and staining intensity of positive NOS neurons in cochlear nuclei increased obviously after exposed to noise. It reached the peak 2 week later and remained 5 week than normal. The regulation of NOS mRNA was consistent with that of morphological observation. NOS mRNA content in 2 w group was the highest and was 4.02 times higher than normal. After exposed to noise, ABR threshold shift was in positive correlation with NOS mRNA content in cochlear nuclei (r = 0.9655, P < 0.01). It is suggested that positive NOS neurons in cochlear nuclei might be involved in controlling injury and repair of cochlear nerves. The high expression of NOS gene might be an important factor in pathogenic mechanism of noise deafness.

Reduction of neuronal and inducible nitric oxide synthase gene expression in patients with cystic fibrosis

As a consequence of diminished nitric oxide synthase (NOS) protein concentration, the airway concentration of nitric oxide (NO) is reduced in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). This appears to lead to a reduced elimination of such microorganisms as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The objective of this study was to analyze whether inducible (iNOS), endothelial (eNOS) and neuronal (bNOS) NOS are reduced at mRNA level and if so whether this is caused directly by the defective CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). Nasal polyps from three patients with CF and four otherwise healthy patients were obtained. The expression of the three NOS isoenzymes was quantified using real-time PCR. The iNOS expression was assessed in colon carcinoma cells (CaCo) transfected with a normal and a mutated (DeltaF508) CFTR. In CF patients, iNOS mRNA expression was 10- to 20-fold and bNOS gene expression was one-fifth to one-tenth that in control patients (P < 0.001). In CaCo cells, iNOS gene expression under basal and endotoxin-stimulated conditions did not differ between cells transfected with a mutated CFTR and those transfected with an intact CFTR. This observation suggests that cystic fibrosis is associated with reduced iNOS and bNOS gene expression in nasopharyngeal tissue, possibly disturbing the barrier against infective agents already at the site of entrance.

一氧化氮在豚鼠耳蜗作用的实验研究

为探讨ＮＯ在内耳的作用，采用外淋巴给药途径，观察一氧化氮气体（ＮＯ）、Ｌ－精氨酸、硝普钠及一氧化氮合酶（ＮＯＳ）拮抗剂Ｎ－甲基－Ｌ－精氨酸对耳蜗蜗内电位（ＥＰ）、复合动作电位（ＣＡＰ）及耳蜗微音器电位（ＣＭ）的影响。结果表明，Ｎ－甲基－Ｌ－精氨酸可以使ＥＰ减小５０％，ＣＡＰ振幅降低３３％及ＣＭ振幅略有降低，在此基础上，用Ｌ－精氨酸外淋巴灌流可以逆转Ｎ－甲基－Ｌ－精氨酸所致的改变。ＮＯ持续外淋巴缓释能使Ｎ－甲基－Ｌ－精氨酸导致的ＥＰ、ＣＡＰ及ＣＭ的改变恢复，并超过正常，随之出现快速下降。外淋巴灌流硝普钠后，ＥＰ、ＣＡＰ及ＣＭ短暂升高后逐渐下降，并维持在较低水平。ＣＡＰＮ１波及ＣＭ潜伏期的变化规律与其振幅的变化规律基本一致。结果提示，ＮＯ在生理条件下维持内耳功能，可能参与耳蜗毛细胞微机械特性及敏感性的调节，过量表达可以产生耳蜗毒性     

Improvement in inner ear blood flow by nitric oxide following experimentally induced cochlear thrombosis in anesthetized guinea pigs

The nitric oxide (NO) donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP) applied to the round window membrane has recently been found to increase cochlear blood flow (CoBF) in normal guinea pigs and in normal and presbyacusic mice. This study examined the effect of topical applications of SNP on experimentally impaired CoBF in anesthetized guinea pigs. Small (3 μl) portions of 3% SNP were applied to the round window niche of both normal and thrombosed cochleas. Local vascular impairment was produced by ferromagnetic thrombosis of cochlear blood vessels and the microcirculation measured using laser Doppler flowmetry. Ferromagnetic thrombosis resulted in a mean decrease of CoBF to 52% of baseline. There was a clear improvement in mean CoBF to 84% of baseline by the topical application of SNP that depended on the degree of ischemic damage produced. Under neuroleptanalgesia and ketamine-xylazine anesthesia, significant increases in CoBF were measured in normal ears as well as in the thrombosed ones. However, several SNP applications were needed to improve the impaired CoBF, while a single portion was sufficient in the normal cochlea to cause a drastic increase in mean CoBF to 234% of baseline. In urethane-anesthetized animals, no flow increase was found despite repeated drug administration. Careful evaluation of the laser Doppler signals was necessary to accurately determine the concentrations of the moving blood cells and their mean velocities.

目的观察噪声暴露对豚鼠耳蜗电位和超微结构的影响。方法选用健康杂色豚鼠10只,以右耳为噪声暴露耳,以左耳为对照耳,右耳持续给白噪声100dBSPL2小时。于噪声暴露前及噪声暴露后测量右耳耳蜗电位,并于噪声暴露后取噪声暴露耳和对照耳的耳蜗,应用透射电镜进行形态学的观察。结果噪声暴露后耳蜗微音电位幅度下降并且其非线性特点消失,听神经复合动作电位阈值明显升高;内毛细胞及其下方传入神经末梢空化,外毛细胞溶酶体增多、胞浆内出现空泡。结论噪声暴露不仅引起外毛细胞的损伤,还可以引起内毛细胞及传入神经纤维的损伤。     

Nitric oxide synthase inhibitor reduces noise-induced cochlear damage in guinea pigs

Conclusion. The results obtained in this study indicate that N^G-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) protects cochlear damage from acoustic trauma through reducing the production of nitric oxide (NO). Objectives. This study aimed to explore whether NO synthase inhibitor L-NAME could reduce cochlear damage in acoustic trauma. Materials and methods. Seventy guinea pigs (300–350g) were divided randomly into four groups (n=20 in groups I, III, and IV; n=10 in group II). Two days consecutively and 30min before noise exposure (4kHz octave band, 115dB SPL 5h), subjects received an injection of 5ml saline/kg (groups I and III) or 10mg/kg L-NAME (groups II and IV). Sham-exposed guinea pigs were listed as groups I and II. Protection was assessed physiologically by the change in auditory brainstem response (ABR) threshold and histologically by survival of outer hair cells (OHCs). NO level of cochlear tissue was assayed 3days after noise exposure. Results. Group III showed significantly greater OHC loss, threshold shifts and NO level compared with group I and group IV. Compared with group III, noise-induced elevation in NO level in the cochlea was significantly attenuated by L-NAME (p<0.001).
