Treatment of noise-induced hearing loss by mesenchymal stromal cells: an RNAseq analysis of protective/repair pathways
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are an adult derived stem cell-like population that has been shown to mediate repair in a wide range of degenerative disorders. The protective effects of MSCs are mainly mediated by the release of growth factors and cytokines thereby modulating the diseased environment and the immune system. Within the inner ear, MSCs have been shown protective against tissue damage induced by sound and a variety of ototoxins. To better understand the mechanism of action of MSCs in the inner ear, mice were exposed to narrow band noise. After exposure, MSCs derived from human umbilical cord Wharton’s jelly were injected into the perilymph. RNAseq analysis of gene expression changes induced by MSCs was compared to sound trauma only treated animals.
