Neuroprotective Effect of Valproic Acid on Salicylate-Induced Tinnitus.

ABSTRACT: High-dose salicylate induces temporary moderate hearing loss and the perception of a high-pitched tinnitus in humans and animals. Previous studies demonstrated that high doses of salicylate increase N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor levels, resulting in a rise in Ca2+ influx and induction of excitotoxicity. Glutamate excitotoxicity is associated with failure in the maintenance of calcium homeostasis, mitochondrial dysfunction, and production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Valproic acid (VPA) is widely used for the management of bipolar disorder, epilepsy, and migraine headaches, and is known to regulate NMDA receptor activity. In this study, we examined the beneficial effects of VPA in a salicylate-induced tinnitus model in vitro and in vivo. Cells were pretreated with VPA followed by salicylate treatment. The expression levels of NMDA receptor subunit NR2B, phosphorylated cAMP response element-binding protein-an apoptosis marker, and intracellular levels of ROS were measured using several biochemical techniques. We observed increased expression of NR2B and its related genes TNFα and ARC, increased intracellular ROS levels, and induced expression of cleaved caspase-3. These salicylate-induced changes were attenuated in the neuronal cell line SH-SY5Y and rat cortical neurons after VPA pretreatment. Together, these results provide evidence of the beneficial effects of VPA in a salicylate-induced temporary hearing loss and tinnitus model.

Project description:This study aimed to investigate the effects of the intravenous administration of lidocaine in the auditory cortex after the systemic administration of salicylate. Healthy male albino Hartley guinea pigs were divided into two groups. The control group received only lidocaine, whereas the experimental group received lidocaine after checking for the effects of salicylate. Extracellular recordings of spikes in the primary auditory cortex and dorsocaudal areas in healthy albino Hartley guinea pigs were continuously documented (pre- and post-lidocaine, pre- and post-salicylate, and post-salicylate after adding lidocaine to post-salicylate). We recorded 160 single units in the primary auditory cortex from five guinea pigs and 155 single units in the dorsocaudal area from another five guinea pigs to confirm the effects of lidocaine on untreated animals. No significant change was detected in either the threshold or Q10dB value after lidocaine administration in the primary auditory cortex and dorsocaudal areas. Spontaneous firing activity significantly decreased after lidocaine administration in the primary auditory cortex and dorsocaudal areas. Next, we recorded 160 single units in the primary auditory cortex from five guinea pigs and 137 single units in the dorsocaudal area from another five guinea pigs to determine the effects of lidocaine on salicylate-treated animals. The threshold was significantly elevated after salicylate administration; however, no additional change was detected after adding lidocaine to the primary auditory cortex and dorsocaudal areas. Regarding the Q10dB value, lidocaine negated the significant changes induced by salicylate in the primary auditory cortex and dorsocaudal areas. Moreover, lidocaine negated the significant changes in spontaneous firing activities induced by salicylate in the primary auditory cortex and dorsocaudal areas. In conclusion, changes in the Q10dB value and spontaneous firing activities induced by salicylate administration are abolished by lidocaine administration, suggesting that these changes are related to the presence of tinnitus.
