(B) Effects of noise exposure on outer hair cell degeneration ( N = 4 ears in each group). (C) Effects of acoustic stimulation on peripheral blood CD11b + Ly6G – F4/80 + CX3CR1 + populations and distinction between Ly6C ++ inflammatory monocytes and Ly6C – patrolling monocytes. (D) Effects of acoustic overstimulation on cell populations (CD11b + Ly6G – F4/80 + CX3CR1 + cells; Ly6C ++ possible inflammatory monocytes and Ly6C – possible resident macrophages) in cochlea at 2 days. (E) Clodronate liposome successfully reduced monocytes in peripheral blood (left) compared to neutrophils (right) in 1 dpn at which the monocytes begin to infiltrate to the cochlea. (F) Effects of clodronate liposome treatment after acoustic overstimulation on Ly6C ++ possible inflammatory monocyte populations in the cochlea after 2 days.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Inflammatory monocytes infiltrated within 2 days after acoustic stimulation, whereas neutrophil infiltration was not observed. (A) Percentages of cells sorted by Ly6C expression from the CD11b + Ly6G – F4/80 + CX3CR1 + population, demonstrating Ly6C ++ cell infiltration within 2 days after acoustic overstimulation. (B) Total cell counts showing the CD11b + Ly6G – F4/80 + CX3CR1 + population did not change after 2 dpn. (C) Distinction between Ly6G + CX3CR1 – neutrophils and CD11b + cells in the peripheral blood. (D) Lack of distinct neutrophils in the cochlea at 1 day after acoustic overstimulation compared with CD11b + cells. (E) Changes in the percentages and the cell count of neutrophils in cochlea after acoustic overstimulation. There was no statistically significant value. Ctr : control, N1d : 1 day after noise, N2d : 2 days after noise, N3d : 3 days after noise, N5d : 5 days after noise, Mo : monocytes, M φ: macrophages. ****: p < 0.0001, ***: p < 0.001, **: p < 0.01, *: p < 0.05, when compared with the control. (F) Immunofluorescence study of lower portion of spiral ligament at 1 dpn. Neutrophil (white) is mixed in the cluster of inflammatory monocytes (red and weak green). Scale bar = 20 μm.
