| Research Abstract |
We show that ERK2 play an important role in regulating inner hair cell survival and NIHL in mice. We created conditional Erk2 knockout mice to delete the Erk2 gene primarily in the hair cells using Cre/loxP system. Resultant hair cell-specific Erk2 conditional knockout (hErk2 CKO) were viable and fertile with normal appearance. After noise exposure control mice demonstrated a moderate recovery of ABR threshold shifts, however, no significant recovery was found for hErk2 CKO mice. There was significant difference between hErk2 CKO and control mice in ABR threshold shift. Furthermore a significant lower survival rate of IHCs was observed of hErk2 CKO mice as compared to control mice. We found that hErk2 CKO mice exhibited an increased sensitivity to noise exposure, suggesting that ERK2 plays an important role in protecting the inner hair cells from noise exposure.
