Effect of cisplatin on ototoxicity and expression of caspase-3 in mouse cochlea / 西安交通大学学报(医学版)

ABSTRACT

Objective To establish a mice model of cisplatin-induced ototoxicity and to investigate the effect of cisplatin on the expression of caspase-3 in mouse cochlea.Methods Totally 69 Kunming mice were randomly divided into control group,cisplatin 2.5mg/(kg?d) group,cisplatin 3.5mg/(kg?d) group and cisplatin 4.5mg/(kg?d)group.Mice were injected intraperitoneally for 5 days.Auditory brainstem response(ABR) was measured to observe the change of hearing.Envision method of immunohistochemistry was applied to detect the expression of caspase-3 in cochlea.Results The weight and hearing of mice in different dose cisplatin groups were declined significantly as compared with those in control group(P
