background many industrial devices have an excessive vibration which can affect human body systems. the effect of vibration on cochlear histology has been as a debatable problem in occupational health and medicine. objectives due to limitation present in human studies, the research was conducted to survey the influence of vibration on cochlear histology in an animal model. materials and methods...
The mammalian cochlea is a highly complex structure which contains several cells, including sensory receptor or hair cells. The main function of the cochlear hair cells is to convert the mechanical vibrations of the sound into electrical signals, then these signals travel to the brain along the auditory nerve. Auditory hair cells in some amphibians, reptiles, fish, and birds can regenerate or r...
The cochlea contains two types of sensory cells, the inner and outer hair cells. Sound-evoked deflection of outer hair cell stereocilia leads to fast force production that will enhance auditory sensitivity up to 1,000-fold. In contrast, inner hair cells are thought to have a purely receptive function. Deflection of their stereocilia produces receptor potentials, transmitter release, and action ...
background: noise-induced hearing loss (nihl) is one of the most common occupational illnesses. most of the studies on nihl were conducted at high noise levels that people are rarely exposed to but in industries. the function of the outer hair cells (ohcs) is impaired after exposure to industrial noise. distortion product otoacoustic emissions (dpoaes) are useful in examination of noise-induced...
During embryonic development, hair cells and support cells in the sensory epithelia of the inner ear derive from progenitors that express Sox2, a member of the SoxB1 family of transcription factors. Sox2 is essential for sensory specification, but high levels of Sox2 expression appear to inhibit hair cell differentiation, suggesting that factors regulating Sox2 activity could be critical for bo...
A dominant mutation of the gene encoding the POU4F3 transcription factor underlies human non-syndromic progressive hearing loss DFNA15. Using oligonucleotide microarrays to generate expression profiles of inner ears of Pou4f3(ddl/ddl) mutant and wild-type mice, we have identified and validated Lhx3, a LIM domain transcription factor, as an in vivo target gene regulated by Pou4f3. Lhx3 is a hair...
The organ of Corti, which is the sensory organ of hearing, consists of a single row of inner hair cells and three rows of outer hair cells in mice. The auditory hair cells develop from auditory progenitors. Hair cell development is related to several genes, including PTEN. Homozygous null mutant (PTEN(-/-)) mice die at around embryonic day 9, when hair cells are extremely immature. Moreover, in...
The shaker 2 (sh2) and pirouette (pi) mouse mutants display severe inner ear dysfunction that involves both auditory and vestibular manifestation. Pathology of the stereocilia of hair cells has been found in both mutants. This study was designed to further our knowledge of the pathological characteristics of the inner ear sensory epithelia in both the sh2 and pi strains. Measurements of auditor...
BACKGROUND Previous microarray analysis showed that growth hormone (GH) was significantly upregulated following acoustic trauma in the zebrafish (Danio rerio) ear suggesting that GH may play an important role in the process of auditory hair cell regeneration. Our objective was to examine the effects of exogenous and endogenous GH on zebrafish inner ear epithelia following acoustic trauma. MET...
The cochlea not only transduces sound-induced vibration into neural spikes, it also amplifies weak sound to boost its detection. Actuators of this active process are sensory outer hair cells in the organ of Corti, whereas the inner hair cells transduce the resulting motion into electric signals that propagate via the auditory nerve to the brain. However, how the outer hair cells modulate the st...
