Abstract

The ototoxic mechanisms of cisplatin on the organ of Corti and spiral ganglion neurons have been extensively studied, while few studies have been focused on the stria vascularis (SV). Herein, we verified the functional and morphological impairment in SV induced by a single injection of cisplatin (12 mg/kg, I.P.), represented by a reduction in Endocochlear Potentials (EP) and strial atrophy, and explored underlying mechanisms. Our results revealed increased extravasation of chromatic tracers (Evans blue dye and FITC-dextran) around microvessels after cisplatin exposure. The increased vascular permeability could be attributed to changes of pericytes (PCs) and perivascular-resident macrophage-like melanocytes (PVM/Ms) in number or morphology, as well as the enhanced level of HIF-1α and downstream VEGF. This capillary leakage led to a high accumulation of cisplatin in the perivascular space in SV, and disrupted the integrity of blood-labyrinth barrier (BLB). Also, tight junction (ZO-1) loosening and Na
