Abstract

Cochlear inflammatory response to various environmental insults, including acoustic and ototoxic overexposures, has been increasingly become a topic of interest. As the immune response is associated with both pathology and protection, targeting specific components of the immune response is expected to dissect the relationships between cellular damage and inflammation-associated protection and repair in the cochlea. Duffy antigen receptor for chemokines (DARC) is a member of a group of atypical chemokine receptors, and essential for chemokine-regulated leukocyte/neutrophil trafficking during inflammation. Previous studies have reported that Darc deficiency alters chemokine bioavailability and leukocyte homeostasis, leading to significant anti-inflammatory effects in tissues following injury. In this study, we have used Darc knockout mice to determine the impact of a deficiency in this gene on cochlear development, as well as function in cochlea subjected to various stresses. We observed that DARC is not required for normal development of cochlear function, as evidenced by typical hearing sensitivity in juvenile Darc-KO mice, as compared to wild type (WT) C57BL/6 mice. However, Darc-KO mice exhibited improved hearing recovery after intense noise exposure when compared to wild-type. The auditory brainstem response (ABR) threshold shift between KO and WT mice was most obvious at 1-week post-noise exposure. At cochlear locations above the frequency range of the energy band of damaging noise, both hair cell survival and ribbon synapse density were improved in Darc deficient animals. In addition, the mRNA levels of some major inflammatory effectors, including Mcp-1 and Gdf15, were altered in Darc-KO mice compared to control mice at 1, 3 and 7 days post-noise exposure. These data collectively suggest that the normal Darc-dependent inflammatory response slows down the process of hearing recovery, and exacerbates cellular damage in the cochlea after noise exposure.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 03 July 2018.
All research outputs
#16,522,185
of 24,309,087 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience
#2,050
of 3,171 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#215,090
of 335,244 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience
#69
of 113 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,309,087 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,171 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.0. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 335,244 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 26th percentile – i.e., 26% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 113 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
