Ménière's disease, a multifactorial disorder of the inner ear, is characterized by severe vertigo episodes and hearing loss. Although role immune responses in disease has been proposed, precise mechanisms remain undefined. Here, we show that downregulation serum/glucocorticoid-inducible kinase 1 associated with activation NLRP3 inflammasome vestibular-resident macrophage-like cells from patients. Serum/glucocorticoid-inducible depletion markedly enhances IL-1β production which leads to...

The stria vascularis (SV) generates the endocochlear potential (EP) in inner ear and is necessary for proper hair cell (HC) mechanotransduction hearing. Cell junctions are indispensable establishment of compositionally distinct fluid compartments ear. Ototoxic drug cisplatin can damage SV cause sensorineural hearing loss; however, underlying mechanisms behind such injury unclear. In this study, after intraperitoneal injection (3 mg/kg/day 7 days) mice, we determined auditory function by EP...

Abstract Meniere’s disease (MD) is a disorder of the inner ear characterized by episodes spontaneous vertigo, fluctuating hearing loss, and tinnitus. Recent studies have demonstrated that IgE may play role in pathogenesis MD. Patients with MD (n = 103), acoustic neuroma 5), healthy subjects 72) were recruited into study. Serum from participants was analyzed for type 2–related cytokines. CD23 expression levels vestibular end organs patients, C57BL/6 mice, or mouse HEI-OC1 cells analyzed....

Abstract STUDY QUESTION Does an increased dosing of FSH improve the live birth rate as compared to standard in expected poor responders who undergo IVF? SUMMARY ANSWER In this trial, women with response allocated did not have a statistically significant increase cumulative births dose. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Poor ovarian reserve leads worse IVF outcomes owing low number and quality oocytes. Clinicians often individualize dose using tests, including antral follicle count (AFC), basal plasma or...

Abstract Ménière’s disease (MD) is a complex inner ear disorder characterized by range of symptoms, with its pathogenesis linked to immune-related mechanisms. Our previous research demonstrated that IL-1β maturation and release can trigger cell pyroptosis, exacerbating the severity endolymphatic hydrops in mouse model; however, specific mechanism through which influences MD symptoms remains unclear. This study conducted on patients examined changes protein signatures vestibular end organs...

Abstract Objective The endocannabinoid system (ECS) regulates bone turn-over and remodeling. Chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) occurring during obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may lead to disorders of the ECS metabolism abnormalities. This study aimed investigate whether or not cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1R) antagonist rimonabant (Ri) alleviates abnormalities destruction induced by chronic (CIH). Methods Healthy male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats (n=48) were randomly divided into 6 groups 8 rats: 2...

Ménière's disease (MD), a common in the inner ear, is characterized by an increase endolymph cochlear duct and vestibular labyrinth. The pathophysiology of condition appears to be immune response. Studies have shown that basal levels IL-1β increased some MD patients. Here, we used murine model endolymphatic hydrops (EH) study effect anakinra on auditory function. Mice were intraperitoneal injected with or saline before LPS postauricular injection. Weight severity measured, histologic changes...

Human placenta was obtained from early onset preeclampsia, late and their gestational age-matched normal pregnancy. Using RT-qPCR, western blot, immunohistochemistry, it demonstrated that miR-21 expressions were significantly decreased in preeclampsia while RASA1 increased. Suppression of placental HTR-8/SVneo cells, remarkably upregulated RASA1, proliferation, inhibited invasion, promoted apoptosis trophoblast overexpression alleviated these effects. Dual-luciferase reporter assays revealed...
