This study aimed to quantify the effect of a local increase of TNF-alpha and study the effect of its interaction with etanercept on cochlear microcirculation. Methods: Cochlear lateral wall vessels were exposed surgically and assessed by intravital microscopy in guinea pigs in vivo. First, 24 animals were randomly distributed into 4 groups of 6 each. Exposed vessels were superfused repeatedly either with 1 of 3 different concentrations of TNF-alpha (5.0, 0.5, and 0.05 ng/mL) or with placebo (0.9% saline solution). Second, 12 animals were randomly distributed into 2 groups of 6 each. Vessels were pretreated with etanercept (1.0 mu g/mL) or placebo (0.9% saline solution), and then treated by repeated superfusion with TNF-alpha (5.0 ng/mL). Results: TNF-alpha was shown to be effective in decreasing cochlear blood flow at a dose of 5.0 ng/mL (p < 0.01, analysis of variance on ranks). Lower concentrations or placebo treatment did not lead to significant changes. After pretreatment with etanercept, TNF-alpha at a dose of 5.0 ng/mL no longer led to a change in cochlear blood flow. Conclusions: The decreasing effect that TNF-alpha has on cochlear blood flow is dose-dependent. Etanercept abrogates this effect."],["dc.identifier.isi","000321880700011"],["dc.identifier.pmid","23951701"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/29467"],["dc.notes.status","zu prĂĽfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Annals Publ Co"],["dc.relation.issn","0003-4894"],["dc.title","Etanercept Prevents Decrease of Cochlear Blood Flow Dose-Dependently Caused by Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

TNF-alpha signaling has been shown to be activated in NIHL and to control spiral modiolar artery vasoconstriction that regulates cochlear microcirculation. It was the aim of this experimental study to analyse the effects of the TNF-alpha inhibitor etanercept on cochlear microcirculation and hearing threshold shift in NIHL in vivo. Design: After assessment of normacusis using ABR, loud noise (106 dB SPL, 30 minutes) was applied on both ears in guinea pigs. Etanercept was administered systemically after loud noise exposure while control animals received a saline solution. In vivo fluorescence microscopy of strial capillaries was performed after surgical exposure of the cochlea for microcirculatory analysis. ABR measurements were derived from the contralateral ear. Study sample: Guinea pigs (n=6, per group). Results: Compared to controls, cochlear blood flow in strial capillary segments was significantly increased in etanercept-treated animals. Additionally, hearing threshold was preserved in animals receiving the TNF-alpha inhibitor in contrast to a significant threshold raising in controls. Conclusions: TNF-alpha inhibition using etanercept improves cochlear microcirculation and protects hearing levels after loud noise exposure and appears as a promising treatment strategy for human NIHL."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.3109/14992027.2013.790564"],["dc.identifier.isi","000321693900004"],["dc.identifier.pmid","23786392"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/29275"],["dc.notes.status","zu prĂĽfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Informa Healthcare"],["dc.relation.issn","1499-2027"],["dc.title","TNF-alpha inhibition using etanercept prevents noise-induced hearing loss by improvement of cochlear blood flow in vivo"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Fibrinogen is known as a risk factor for both microvascular dysfunction and SSNHL. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of elevated serum levels of fibrinogen on cochlear blood flow and hearing function in vivo. Design: One group of guinea pigs received two consecutive injections of 100 mg fibrinogen while a control group received equimolar doses of albumin. Measurements of cochlear microcirculation by intravital microscopy and of hearing thresholds by auditory brainstem response (ABR) recordings were carried out before, after first and after second injection. Study sample: Ten healthy guinea pigs were randomly assigned to a treatment group or a control group of five animals each. Results: Serum fibrinogen levels were elevated after the first and second injections of fibrinogen compared to basal values and control group respectively. Increasing levels of fibrinogen were paralleled by decreasing cochlear blood flow as well as increasing hearing thresholds. Hearing threshold correlated negatively with cochlear blood flow. Conclusions: The effect of microcirculatory impairment on hearing function could be explained by a malfunction of the cochlear amplifier. Further investigation is needed to quantify cochlear potentials under elevated serum fibrinogen levels."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.3109/14992027.2011.622302"],["dc.identifier.isi","000300491400009"],["dc.identifier.pmid","22332958"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/27103"],["dc.notes.status","zu prĂĽfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Informa Healthcare"],["dc.relation.issn","1499-2027"],["dc.title","Acute hyperfibrinogenemia impairs cochlear blood flow and hearing function in guinea pigs in vivo"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
