Inhibition of Tnf production protected cochlear hair cells against neomycin-induced damage. (A) The diagram of the assay for (B–D). Cochlear sensory epithelium samples from P2 WT mice were dissected out and allowed to recover for 12 h. The samples were treated with 1 mM neomycin and Len (1 or 10 μM) for 6 h, allowed to recover for 24 h, and then used for immunostaining. (B) Representative Myo7a immunofluorescence staining after drug treatment (neomycin alone or combined with Len). (C,D) Len treatment protected against neomycin-induced hair cell loss. (E) qPCR analysis showed that Len significantly decreased the mRNA expression of Tnf in neomycin-injured cochlear epithelium. Scale bar = 50 μm. *indicates p < 0.05, **indicates p < 0.01, and ***indicates p < 0.001. n = 5.
