Table 2. Animal models of SNHL induced by platinum antitumor drugs.

Drug Animal Route Dose Schedule Duration Ototoxicity Reference
Cis C57BL/6 mouse i.p. 12 mg/kg Single-dose 1 day OHCs were significantly reduced at 72 h after treatment in the apical, middle, and basal turns. IHCs remained intact. ABR thresholds increased 4 h and 72 h after treatment (56)
Cis Wistar rat i.p. 16 mg/kg Single-dose 1 day OHCs and IHCs damaged. DPOAE values decreased (57)
Cis Guinea pig i.p. 12 mg/kg Single-dose 1 day OHCs partially lost throughout the cochlea. ABR threshold shifted (58,59)
Cis Fischer 344/NHsd rat i.p. 12 mg/kg Single-dose 1 day OHC loss increased from the apex to the base. ABR thresholds increased (60)
Carb Wistar rat i.p. 256 mg/kg Single-dose 1 day ABR thresholds increased 4 days after treatment (61)
Carb Chinchilla i.v. 400 mg/m2 Single-dose 1 day ABR and CAP thresholds increased (62)
Carb Chinchilla i.v. 200 mg/m2 Single-dose 1 day Loss of IHCs. ABR thresholds increased (63)
Carb Chinchilla i.p. 75 mg/kg Single-dose 1 day Loss of 40% of IHCs. The amplitude of SP and CAP declined (64)

SNHL, sensorineural hearing loss; cis, cisplatin; carb, carboplatin; furo, furosemide i.v., intraveneous; i.p., intraperitoneal; OHCs, outer hair cells; IHCs, inner hair cells; ABR, auditory brainstem response; DPOAE, distortion product otoacoustic emission; CAP, compound action potential; SP, summating potential.
