Aging inevitably leads to hearing loss, which is associated with psychosocial problems and cognitive decline in the elderly. A study found that the thresholds of auditory brainstem responses and distortion-product otoacoustic emissions were increased in aged rats compared to young rats. The study also identified different metabolites in the cochlea related to AHL and demonstrated the beneficial effects of purine supplementation in a mimetic model.
Aging is an inevitable phase in mammals that leads to health impairments, including hearing loss. Age-related hearing loss (AHL) leads to psychosocial problems and cognitive decline in the elderly. In this study, mean thresholds of auditory brainstem responses (ABR) and distortion-product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE) increased at multiple frequencies in aged rats (14 months old) compared to young rats (2 months old). Using untargeted ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy (LC-MS), we quantified molecular metabolic markers in the cochlea of aged rats with hearing loss. A total of 137 different metabolites were identified in two groups, highlighting several prominent metabolic pathways related to purine metabolism; glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism; arginine and proline metabolism; and pyrimidine metabolism. In addition, the beneficial effects of purine supplementation were demonstrated in a mimetic model of senescent marginal cells (MCs). Overall, altered metabolic profiling is both the cause and manifestation of pathology, and our results suggest that cellular senescence and dysfunctional cochlear metabolism may contribute to the progression of AHL. These findings are seminal in elucidating the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying AHL and serve as a basis for future clinical predictions and interventions in AHL.
