| Abstract | Salicylate-induced ototoxicity leading to sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and tinnitus is well documented. However, the exact mechanisms are poorly defined. Caspase-3 is a member of the class of effector caspases and has been activated in nearly every model of apoptosis. To examine its role in salicylate-induced injury, we subjected guinea pigs to treatment with a specific inhibitor zDEVD-FMK via the round window niche (RWN) followed by a systemic injection of salicylate at a dose of 200 mg·kg$^{−1}$·d$^{−1}$ i.p. for 10 consecutive days. For those animals administered with salicylate, immunohistochemical studies revealed that caspase-3 was activated in the spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) and method of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end-labeling (TUNEL) to identify neuronal apoptosis showed that fragmented nuclei were distributed in Rosenthal’s canal. Topical administration of the zDEVD-FMK at a concentration of 500 mM blocked caspase-3 activation and had an effect in reducing the number of TUNEL-positive auditory neurons. In contrast, the inhibitor at a concentration of 125 or 250 mM caused no variation in the expression of activated caspase-3, or in the ratio of TUNEL-positive neurons. These results indicate that caspase-3 is a crucial mediator of apoptosis induced by salicylate in the primary auditory neuron in vivo, and suggest that the specific inhibitor at a relatively high concentration may be therapeutically beneficial in salicylate-induced apoptosis. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
