Abstract:
Objective To investigate the different expression levels of Na+ - K+ - 2Cl- co- transporter NKCC1 mRNA in the cochlea of rats after sodium salicylate injection and to explore the mechanism underlying the change of outer hair cells, induced by different salicylate administration. Methods Twenty-four normal adult rats were randomly divided into four groups with six rats in each group. Rats in control group,did not recieve sodium sa-licylate injection. The other three groups were acute group,chronic group,and recovered group according to the dif-ferent doses of sodium salicylate. The fluorescence quantitative PCR method was used to detect the expression levels of NKCC1 mRNA in the rat cochleas of the four groups. Results NKCC1 mRNA was expressed in all of the four groups. After sodium salicylate injection, the expressions of NKCC1 mRNA in chronic and recovered group were higher than that in control group(P<0.05). While the expression of NKCC1 mRNA in acute group was lower than that in control group(P(0. 05). Conclusion The expression of NKCC1 mRNA in the normal cochlea indicates that NKCC1 may play an important role in the maintenance of Cl- in the endolymph of the cochlea. The alteration of NKCC1 mRNA expression caused by sodium salicylate injection may lead to the change of the outer hair cell electro-motility.
