OBJECTIVE: Age-related hearing loss (ARHL), also known as presbycusis, is a debilitating sensory impairment that affects the elderly population. There is currently no ideal treatment for ARHL. Long-term caffeine intake was reported to have anti-aging effects in many diseases. This study is to identify whether caffeine could ameliorate ARHL in mice and analyze its mechanism.
METHODS: Caffeine was administered in drinking water to C57BL/6J mice from the age of 3 months to 12 months. The body weight, food intake and water intake of the mice were monitored during the experiment. The metabolic indicators of serum were detected by ELISA. The function of the hearing system was evaluated by ABR and hematoxylin and eosin staining of the cochlea. Genes' expression were detected by Q-PCR, immunofluorescencee and Western blot.
RESULTS: The results showed that the ARHL mice exhibited impaired hearing and cochlear tissue compared with the young mice. However, the caffeine-treated ARHL mice showed improved hearing and cochlear tissue morphology. The expression of inflammation-related genes, such as TLR4, Myd88, NF-κB, and IL-1β, was significantly increased in the cochleae of ARHL mice compared with young mice but was down-regulated in the caffeine-treated cochleae.
CONCLUSIONS: Inflammation is involved in ARHL of mice, and long-term caffeine supplementation could ameliorate ARHL through the down-regulation of the TLR4/NF-κB inflammation pathway. Our findings provide a new idea for preventing ARHL and suggest new drug targets for ARHL treatment.
