Regeneration of Cochlear Hair Cells with Atoh1 Gene Therapy after Noise-Induced Hearing Loss

Andrew K Wise, Brianna O Flynn, Patrick J Atkinson, James B Fallon, Madeline Nicholson and Rachael T Richardson

Background: Degeneration of hair cells in the mammalian cochlea results in irreversible hearing loss with no current treatment options to regain lost hair cell function. The Atoh1 gene is necessary for hair cell development and recent research has shown that Atoh1 gene therapy promotes new hair cell formation and hearing restoration in adult rodent deafness models.

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine new hair cell formation via Atoh1 gene therapy in noise-deafened adult guinea pigs. Methods: Guinea pigs were deafened by noise exposure (130 dB, 11-13 kHz, 2 hours). After two weeks, the left cochleae were injected wit... view moreĀ»
