| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Glucocorticoids are widely used therapeutically to treat acute sensorineural hearing loss, however, molecular mechanisms of glucocorticoid action in the cochlea are largely unknown. We analyzed protein expression in cochleae of mice following administration of a potent glucocorticoid, dexamethasone by mass spectrometry. Isobaric Tag for Relative and Absolute Quantitation (iTRAQ) approach identified 11 differentially expressed proteins by dexamethasone in the cochlea. Of these proteins, it was verified that Myelin protein zero (Mpz) and Heat shock protein 70 (Hsp 70) are differentially regulated within 12 hours following administration of dexamethasone by western blot from the cochlear sample of a mouse model of noise-induced hearing loss. Immunohistochemistry revealed Mpz is localized to the myelin sheath of the spiral neurons, whereas Hsp 70 is widely expressed in the spiral neurons, organ of Corti, spiral ligament and stria vascularis in the cochlea.
