ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the age related changes of the expression of programmed cell death 5 (PDCD5) and caspase 3 in the cochlea of the different age of C57BL/6J mice. The relationship of PDCD5 and caspase 3 and the possible roles in the pathogenesis of presbycusis were also discussed.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>C57 mice of 3, 6, 9 and 12 months old were selected and divided into 4 groups, with 15 mice in each group. Auditory function of C57BL/6J mice was measured by auditory brainstem response (ABR) respectively. The changes of PDCD5 and Caspase 3 protein in the cochlea were detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting, the changes of PDCD5 mRNA and caspase 3 mRNA were detected using RT-PCR.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>With the increase of age, the mean value for ABR thresholds in response to click, 4 kHz and 8 kHz sound stimulus of C57 mice gradually increased, the expression of PDCD5 and caspase 3 were increased also. At 3 months and 6 months of age in the cochlea of C57, all sorts of expression of PDCD5 and caspase 3 and the expression were enhanced with age. There was an evident expression at 9 months age, but the highest expression was detected at 12 months age. The PDCD5 and Caspase 3 expression were statistically different in each group (P < 0.05). The changes of PDCD5 and caspase 3 mRNA expression were in accordance with that of PDCD5 and Caspase 3 protein expression by the real-time PCR.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The expression levels of PDCD5 and caspase 3 in the cochlea of C57 mice increase with age, the results suggested that the expression of PDCD5 and caspase 3 might play an important role in the pathogenic mechanism of presbycusis.</p>
