Taking a genome-wide association study approach, we identified inherited genetic variations in ACYP2 associated with cisplatin-related ototoxicity (rs1872328: P = 3.9 × 10(-8), hazard ratio = 4.5) in 238 children with newly diagnosed brain tumors, with independent replication in 68 similarly treated children. The ACYP2 risk variant strongly predisposed these patients to precipitous hearing loss and was related to ototoxicity severity. These results point to new biology underlying the ototoxic ef ...[more]

Project description:ObjectivesCisplatin ototoxicity affects 42-88% of treated children. Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT), thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) and AYCP2 genetic variants have been associated with ototoxicity, but the findings have been contradictory. The aims of the study were as follows: (a) to investigate these associations in a carefully phenotyped cohort of UK children and (b) to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis.MethodsWe recruited 149 children from seven UK centres using a retrospective cohort study design. All participants were clinically phenotyped carefully. Genotyping was performed for one ACYP2 (rs1872328), three TPMT (rs12201199, rs1142345 and rs1800460) and two COMT (rs4646316 and rs9332377) variants.ResultsFor CTCAE grading, hearing loss was present in 91/120 (75.8%; worst ear) and 79/120 (65.8%; better ear). Using Chang grading, hearing loss was diagnosed in 85/119 (71.4%; worst ear) versus 75/119 (63.0%; better ear). No TPMT or COMT single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were associated with ototoxicity. ACYP2 SNP rs1872328 was associated with ototoxicity (P=0.027; worst ear). Meta-analysis of our data with that reported in previous studies showed the pooled odds ratio (OR) to be statistically significant for both the COMT SNP rs4646316 (OR: 1.50; 95% confidence interval: 1.15-1.95) and the ACYP2 SNP rs1872328 (OR: 5.91; 95% confidence interval: 1.51-23.16).ConclusionWe showed an association between the ACYP2 polymorphism and cisplatin-induced ototoxicity, but not with the TPMT and COMT. A meta-analysis was statistically significant for both the COMT rs4646316 and the ACYP2 rs1872328 SNPs. Grading the hearing of children with asymmetric hearing loss requires additional clarification.

Project description:Noised-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is an acquired, progressive neurological damage caused by exposure to intense noise in various environments including industrial, military and entertaining settings. The prevalence of NIHL is much higher than other occupational injuries in industrialized countries. Recent studies have revealed that genetic factors, together with environmental conditions, also contribute to NIHL. A group of genes which are linked to the susceptibility of NIHL had been uncovered, involving the progression of oxidative stress, potassium ion cycling, cilia structure, heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), DNA damage repair, apoptosis, and some other genes. In this review, we briefly summarized the studies primary in population and some animal researches concerning the susceptible genes of NIHL, intending to give insights into the further exploration of NIHL prevention and individual treatment.

Project description:BACKGROUNDCisplatin is widely used to treat adult and pediatric cancers. It is the most ototoxic drug in clinical use, resulting in permanent hearing loss in approximately 50% of treated patients. There is a major need for therapies that prevent cisplatin-induced hearing loss. Studies in mice suggest that concurrent use of statins reduces cisplatin-induced hearing loss.METHODSWe examined hearing thresholds from 277 adults treated with cisplatin for head and neck cancer. Pretreatment and posttreatment audiograms were collected within 90 days of initiation and completion of cisplatin therapy. The primary outcome measure was a change in hearing as defined by the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE).RESULTSAmong patients on concurrent atorvastatin, 9.7% experienced a CTCAE grade 2 or higher cisplatin-induced hearing loss compared with 29.4% in nonstatin users (P < 0.0001). A mixed-effect model analysis showed that atorvastatin use was significantly associated with reduced cisplatin-induced hearing loss (P ≤ 0.01). An adjusted odds ratio (OR) analysis indicated that an atorvastatin user is 53% less likely to acquire a cisplatin-induced hearing loss than a nonstatin user (OR = 0.47; 95% CI, 0.30-0.78). Three-year survival rates were not different between atorvastatin users and nonstatin users (P > 0.05).CONCLUSIONSOur data indicate that atorvastatin use is associated with reduced incidence and severity of cisplatin-induced hearing loss in adults being treated for head and neck cancer.TRIAL REGISTRATIONClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT03225157.FUNDINGFunding was provided by the Division of Intramural Research at the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (1 ZIA DC000079, ZIA DC000090).

Project description:BackgroundCisplatin chemotherapy and surgery are effective treatments for children with standard-risk hepatoblastoma but may cause considerable and irreversible hearing loss. This trial compared cisplatin with cisplatin plus delayed administration of sodium thiosulfate, aiming to reduce the incidence and severity of cisplatin-related ototoxic effects without jeopardizing overall and event-free survival.MethodsWe randomly assigned children older than 1 month and younger than 18 years of age who had standard-risk hepatoblastoma (≤3 involved liver sectors, no metastatic disease, and an alpha-fetoprotein level of >100 ng per milliliter) to receive cisplatin alone (at a dose of 80 mg per square meter of body-surface area, administered over a period of 6 hours) or cisplatin plus sodium thiosulfate (at a dose of 20 g per square meter, administered intravenously over a 15-minute period, 6 hours after the discontinuation of cisplatin) for four preoperative and two postoperative courses. The primary end point was the absolute hearing threshold, as measured by pure-tone audiometry, at a minimum age of 3.5 years. Hearing loss was assessed according to the Brock grade (on a scale from 0 to 4, with higher grades indicating greater hearing loss). The main secondary end points were overall survival and event-free survival at 3 years.ResultsA total of 109 children were randomly assigned to receive cisplatin plus sodium thiosulfate (57 children) or cisplatin alone (52) and could be evaluated. Sodium thiosulfate was associated with few high-grade toxic effects. The absolute hearing threshold was assessed in 101 children. Hearing loss of grade 1 or higher occurred in 18 of 55 children (33%) in the cisplatin-sodium thiosulfate group, as compared with 29 of 46 (63%) in the cisplatin-alone group, indicating a 48% lower incidence of hearing loss in the cisplatin-sodium thiosulfate group (relative risk, 0.52; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.33 to 0.81; P=0.002). At a median of 52 months of follow-up, the 3-year rates of event-free survival were 82% (95% CI, 69 to 90) in the cisplatin-sodium thiosulfate group and 79% (95% CI, 65 to 88) in the cisplatin-alone group, and the 3-year rates of overall survival were 98% (95% CI, 88 to 100) and 92% (95% CI, 81 to 97), respectively.ConclusionsThe addition of sodium thiosulfate, administered 6 hours after cisplatin chemotherapy, resulted in a lower incidence of cisplatin-induced hearing loss among children with standard-risk hepatoblastoma, without jeopardizing overall or event-free survival.

Project description:Cisplatin is used to treat a variety of solid tumors in both children and adults. However, cisplatin has serious side-effects, some of which may permanently affect patients' quality of life following treatment, such as ototoxicity. There is currently no FDA-approved therapy for the prevention or treatment of cisplatin-induced hearing loss. Herein we examine the potential for statins to prevent cisplatin-induced ototoxicity. Statins, a class of drugs commonly used to prevent or manage hypercholesterolemia, have been of clinical utility for decades with dependable outcomes and reliable safety profiles in humans. Statins are known to be protective in animal models of noise-induced and age-related hearing loss. Moreover, studies have demonstrated an additive benefit of statins in cancer treatment. In the current study, lovastatin reduces cisplatin-induced hearing loss in adult mice. Lovastatin-mediated protection was significantly greater among female than male mice, and the dose of lovastatin required for protection was different between the sexes. Taken together our data indicate that lovastatin reduces cisplatin-induced hearing loss in mice and suggest that concurrent statin and cisplatin therapy may represent a feasible clinical strategy for reducing cisplatin-induced ototoxicity that should be explored for future clinical use.

Project description:Cisplatin is a widely used chemotherapeutic agent for the treatment of solid tumors. A serious complication of cisplatin treatment is permanent hearing loss. The aim of this study was to replicate previous genetic findings in an independent cohort of 155 pediatric patients. Associations were replicated for genetic variants in TPMT (rs12201199, P = 0.0013, odds ratio (OR) 6.1) and ABCC3 (rs1051640, P = 0.036, OR 1.8). A predictive model combining variants in TPMT, ABCC3, and COMT with clinical variables (patient age, vincristine treatment, germ-cell tumor, and cranial irradiation) significantly improved the prediction of hearing-loss development as compared with using clinical risk factors alone (area under the curve (AUC) 0.786 vs. 0.708, P = 0.00048). The novel combination of genetic and clinical factors predicted the risk of hearing loss with a sensitivity of 50.3% and a specificity of 92.7%. These findings provide evidence to support the importance of TPMT, COMT, and ABCC3 in the prediction of cisplatin-induced hearing loss in children.

Project description:Previous preclinical studies have demonstrated the otoprotective effects of resveratrol (RV) at low doses. This study aimed to investigate the dose-dependent effects of RV in rats with cisplatin (CXP)-induced hearing loss. Sprague-Dawley rats (8-weeks old) were divided into six treatment groups (n = 12/group) and treated as follows: control, 0.5 mg/kg RV, 50 mg/kg RV, CXP, 0.5 mg/kg RV + CXP), and 50 mg/kg RV + CXP groups. CXP (3 mg/kg) was intraperitoneally injected for 5 days. RV (0.5 or 50 mg/kg) was intraperitoneally injected for 10 days from the first day of CXP administration. Auditory brainstem response (ABR) thresholds were measured before and within 3 days at the end of the drug administration. Cochlear tissues were harvested, and the outer hair cells were examined using cochlear whole mounts. The mRNA expression of NF?B, IL6, IL1?, and CYP1A1, and protein levels of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) and cytosolic and nuclear receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE) were evaluated. The ABR threshold increased in the 50 mg/kg RV and CXP groups at 4, 8, 16, and 32 kHz. The 0.5 mg/kg RV + CXP group demonstrated decreased hearing thresholds at 4 and 32 kHz compared to the CXP group. Cochlear whole-mount analysis revealed loss of outer hair cells in the 50 mg/kg RV and CXP groups and partial prevention of these cells in the 0.5 mg/kg RV + CXP group. The mRNA expressions of NF?B, IL6, and IL1? were increased in the 50 mg/kg RV and CXP groups compared to the control group. In contrast, these levels were decreased in the 0.5 mg/kg RV + CXP group compared to the CXP group. The mRNA expression of CYP1A1 was increased in the CXP group, while it was decreased in the 0.5 mg/kg RV + CXP group compared to the control group. The protein levels of AhR and cytosolic RAGE decreased in the 0.5 mg/kg RV group. Low-dose RV had partial otoprotective effects on CXP ototoxicity. The otoprotective effects of RV may be mediated through anti-oxidative (CYP1A1 and RAGE) and anti-inflammatory (NF?B, IL6, and IL1?) responses. High-dose RV exerted an inflammatory response and did not ameliorate CXP-induced ototoxicity.

Project description:PurposeDe novo variants (DNVs) are a well-recognized cause of genetic disorders. The contribution of DNVs to hearing loss (HL) is poorly characterized. We aimed to evaluate the rate of DNVs in HL-associated genes and assess their contribution to HL.MethodsTargeted genomic enrichment and massively parallel sequencing were used for molecular testing of all exons and flanking intronic sequences of known HL-associated genes, with no exclusions on the basis of type of HL or clinical features. Segregation analysis was performed, and previous reports of DNVs in PubMed and ClinVar were reviewed to characterize the rate, distribution, and spectrum of DNVs in HL.ResultsDNVs were detected in 10% (24/238) of trios for whom segregation analysis was performed. Overall, DNVs were causative in at least ∼1% of probands for whom a genetic diagnosis was resolved, with marked variability based on inheritance mode and phenotype. DNVs of MITF were most common (21% of DNVs), followed by GATA3 (13%), STRC (13%), and ACTG1 (8%). Review of reported DNVs revealed gene-specific variability in contribution of DNV to the mutational spectrum of HL-associated genes.ConclusionDNVs are a relatively common cause of genetic HL and must be considered in all cases of sporadic HL.

Project description:The identification of preventive interventions that are safe and effective for cisplatin-induced ototoxicity is important, especially in children because hearing loss can impair speech-language acquisition development. Previous randomised trials assessed systemic drugs such as amifostine, sodium diethyldithiocarbamate or disulfiram, and sodium thiosulfate. Amifostine, sodium diethyldithiocarbamate, and disulfiram did not show hearing preservation. Paediatric trials assessing sodium thiosulfate showed efficacy in terms of hearing protection. The SIOPEL 6 trial consisted solely of patients with localised hepatoblastoma and no effects on survival were shown. In the ACCL0431 trial, which included heterogeneous patients, a post-hoc analysis showed significantly worse overall survival among patients who had disseminated disease receiving sodium thiosulfate than among controls, but not among those with localised disease. Intratympanically administered drugs have mainly been assessed in adults and include N-acetylcysteine and dexamethasone. Inconsistent effects of these drugs were identified but these studies were limited by design, small sample size, and statistical approach. Future studies of systemic drugs will need to consider the measurement of disease outcomes through study design and sample size, and ototoxicity endpoints should be harmonised to enhance comparability between trials.

Project description:Previous studies have demonstrated the presence of cannabinoid 2 receptor (CB2R) in the rat cochlea which was induced by cisplatin. In an organ of Corti-derived cell culture model, it was also shown that an agonist of the CB2R protected these cells against cisplatin-induced apoptosis. In the current study, we determined the distribution of CB2R in the mouse and rat cochleae and examined whether these receptors provide protection against cisplatin-induced hearing loss. In a knock-in mouse model expressing the CB2R tagged with green fluorescent protein, we show distribution of CB2R in the organ of Corti, stria vascularis, spiral ligament and spiral ganglion cells. A similar distribution of CB2R was observed in the rat cochlea using a polyclonal antibody against CB2R. Trans-tympanic administration of (2-methyl-1-propyl-1H-indol-3-yl)-1-naphthalenylmethanone (JWH015), a selective agonist of the CB2R, protected against cisplatin-induced hearing loss which was reversed by blockade of this receptor with 6-iodo-2-methyl-1-[2-(4-morpholinyl)ethyl]-1H-indol-3-yl](4-methoxyphenyl)methanone (AM630), an antagonist of CB2R. JWH015 also reduced the loss of outer hair cells (OHCs) in the organ of Corti, loss of inner hair cell (IHC) ribbon synapses and loss of Na+/K+-ATPase immunoreactivity in the stria vascularis. Administration of AM630 alone produced significant hearing loss (measured by auditory brainstem responses) which was not associated with loss of OHCs, but led to reductions in the levels of IHC ribbon synapses and strial Na+/K+-ATPase immunoreactivity. Furthermore, knock-down of CB2R by trans-tympanic administration of siRNA sensitized the cochlea to cisplatin-induced hearing loss at the low and middle frequencies. Hearing loss induced by cisplatin and AM630 in the rat was associated with increased expression of genes for oxidative stress and inflammatory proteins in the rat cochlea. In vitro studies indicate that JWH015 did not alter cisplatin-induced killing of cancer cells suggesting this agent could be safely used during cisplatin chemotherapy. These data unmask a protective role of the cochlear endocannabinoid/CB2R system which appears tonically active under normal conditions to preserve normal hearing. However, an exogenous agonist is needed to boost the activity of endocannabinoid/CB2R system for protection against a more traumatic cochlear insult, as observed with cisplatin administration.
