Aminoglycosides are commonly used antimicrobial drugs that often have ototoxic side effects. The ototoxicity often involves permanent loss of cochlear hair cells (HCs). Neurotrophic factors have been shown to protect a variety of tissues, including HCs, from toxic trauma. To determine if glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) can protect cochlear HCs from trauma, we inoculated an adenoviral vector encoding the human GDNF gene into guinea pig cochleae via the round window membrane 4 days prior to injection of aminoglycosides. Control groups showed little or no negative influence of the viral inoculation on cochlear structure and function. In contrast, ears that were inoculated with the GDNF vector had better hearing and fewer missing HCs after exposure to the ototoxins, as compared with controls. Our results demonstrate the feasibility of gene therapy for cochlear application and suggest that virus-mediated overexpression of GDNF may be developed as a valuable prevention against trauma-induced HC death.
