Oxygen free radicals have been implicated in the pathogenesis of acoustic injury of the cochlea. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of tempol (a superoxide anion scavenger), 3-aminobenzamide (a poly (ADP-ribose) synthetase (PARS) inhibitor), N-nitro-(L)-arginine (a non-selective nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor), 7-nitroindazole (a selective neuronal NOS inhibitor) and aminoguanidine (a selective inducible NOS inhibitor) on acoustic injury. Mice were exposed to a 4 kHz pure tone of 110-128 dB SPL for 4 h. Tempol, 3-amino benzamide or N-nitro-(L)-arginine was intraperitoneally administered immediately before the onset of acoustic overexposure, while 7-nitroindazole or aminoguanidine was intraperitoneally administered every 12 h starting immediately before the onset of acoustic overexposure. The threshold shift of the auditory brainstem response (ABR) and hair cell loss were then evaluated one and two weeks after acoustic overexposure. Tempol and 3-aminobenzamide significantly protected the cochlea against acoustic injury, whereas the NOS inhibitors did not exert any protective effect. These findings suggest that reactive oxygen species and PARS are involved in acoustic injury of the cochlea. However, further study is necessary to elucidate the roles of nitric oxide and nitric oxide synthase in acoustic injury. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
