To investigate the effect of evoked heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) expression on the hearing function of the cochlea in guinea pigs.
Guinea pigs were divided into pre-exposure group (pre-treated with white noise exposure at 100 dB SPL for 45 min) and none pre-exposure group. Auditory brainstem response (ABR) thresholds were recorded at 12, 60 and 108 h after the animals in both groups were exposed to loud white noise (125 dB SPL, 90 min).
HSP70 expression was evoked by pre-treatment with white noise (100 dB SPL, 45 min). There was no significant difference of ABR thresholds between the 2 groups (P>0.05) at 12 h after exposure to loud noise, while ABR thresholds became lower in pre-exposure group than in none pre-exposure group (P<0.01) at both 60 and 108 h. In the pre-exposure group, ABR thresholds at 108 h were significantly lower than that measured at 60 h (P<0.05), but which was not the case in none pre-exposure group.
HSP70 expression induced by pre-exposure to noise protects the hearing function of the cochlea in guinea pigs.
探讨诱发性热休克蛋白70(HSP70)表达对豚鼠耳蜗听觉功能的影响。
将豚鼠分为预暴露组(用100 dB SPL白噪声暴露预处理45分钟)和非预暴露组。两组动物暴露于高强度白噪声(125 dB SPL,90分钟)后12、60和108小时记录听性脑干反应(ABR)阈值。
白噪声(100 dB SPL,45分钟)预处理可诱使HSP70表达。暴露于高强度噪声后12小时,两组ABR阈值无显著差异(P>0.05),而在60和108小时时,预暴露组ABR阈值低于非预暴露组(P<0.01)。在预暴露组中,108小时时的ABR阈值显著低于60小时时(P<0.05),但在非预暴露组中并非如此。
噪声预暴露诱导的HSP70表达可保护豚鼠耳蜗的听觉功能。
