Abstract

Hearing loss (HL) is the most common sensory disorder in the world population. One common cause of HL is the presence of vestibular schwannoma (VS), a benign tumor of the VIII cranial nerve, arising from Schwann cell (SC) transformation. In the last decade, the increasing incidence of VS has been correlated to electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure, which might be considered a pathogenic cause of VS development and HL. Here, we explore the molecular mechanisms underlying the biologic changes of human SCs and/or their oncogenic transformation following EMF exposure. Through NGS technology and RNA-Seq transcriptomic analysis, we investigated the genomic profile and the differential display of HL-related genes after chronic EMF. We found that chronic EMF exposure modified the cell proliferation, in parallel with intracellular signaling and metabolic pathways changes, mostly related to translation and mitochondrial activities. Importantly, the expression of HL-related genes such as NEFL, TPRN, OTOGL, GJB2, and REST appeared to be deregulated in chronic EMF exposure. In conclusion, we suggest that, at a preclinical stage, EMF exposure might promote the transformation of VS cells and contribute to HL.

摘要

听力损失(HL)是世界人口中最常见的感觉障碍。HL 的一个常见原因是前庭神经鞘瘤(VS)的存在,这是一种源自施万细胞(SC)转化的第八颅神经良性肿瘤。在过去的十年中,VS 的发病率不断上升与电磁场(EMF)暴露有关,这可能被认为是 VS 发展和 HL 的致病原因。在这里,我们探讨了电磁场暴露后人类 SC 生物学变化及其致癌转化的分子机制。通过 NGS 技术和 RNA-Seq 转录组分析,我们研究了慢性 EMF 后与 HL 相关的基因的基因组图谱和差异表达。我们发现,慢性 EMF 暴露改变了细胞增殖,同时改变了细胞内信号和代谢途径,这些改变主要与翻译和线粒体活性有关。重要的是,HL 相关基因如 NEFL、TPRN、OTOGL、GJB2 和 REST 的表达似乎在慢性 EMF 暴露中受到了调节。总之,我们认为,在临床前阶段,电磁场暴露可能会促进 VS 细胞的转化,并导致 HL。
