Figure Lengend Snippet: The characteristics of neomycin distribution in the cochlea and kidney correlate with ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity. (A) Schematic diagram of 200 mg/kg neomycin administration for 7 days followed by 7 days drug withdrawal in mice. (B) Histological photomicrographs of kidney tissue sections stained with H&E, PAS. Scale bar = 50 μm. (C) Analysis of serum creatinine, Ngal and Kim- 1 mRNA levels ( n = 4–6). (D) Representative confocal images of hair cells. Scale bar = 20 μm. (E) Quantification of MYO7A + hair cells of three turns of cochleae ( n = 3). (F) ABR measurement of mice ( n = 3). ∗ P < 0.05, ∗∗ P < 0.01, ∗∗∗ P < 0.001 D8 vs . control group. # P < 0.05, ## P < 0.01, ### P < 0.001 D14 vs . control group. (G) Representative confocal images depicting NTR accumulation in various organs of mice. Scale bar = 20 μm. (H) Determination of drug concentration in various tissues detected by HPLC–MS/MS ( n = 9). Con: mice treated with saline once daily for 7 days; D4: mice treated with 200 mg/kg neomycin once daily subcutaneously for 3 days; D8: mice treated with 200 mg/kg neomycin once daily subcutaneously for 7 days; D15: mice treated with 200 mg/kg neomycin once daily subcutaneously for 7 days followed by drug withdrawal for 7 days. (I) Representative confocal images of three turns of the cochlear explants. Scale bar = 20 μm. (J) Quantification of MYO7A + hair cells of the cochlear explants ( n = 3). (K) Quantification of fluorescence area of NTR in cochlear explants ( n = 3). Con, cochlear explants cultured with culture media for 18 h; Neo, cochlear explants treated with 0.5 mmol/L neomycin for 6 h followed by 12 h recovery. Ngal , neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin; Kim-1 , kidney injury molecule 1. The results are presented as the means ± SEM. ∗ P < 0.05, ∗∗ P < 0.01, ∗∗∗ P < 0.001.
