Abstract
Radiation is a widely used treatment for head and neck cancers, and one of its

most severe side effects is ototoxicity. Radiation-induced ototoxicity has been

demonstrated to be linked to the increased production of ROS and MAPK. We

intended to investigate the effect of p38 inhibition on radiation-induced

ototoxicity in cochlea-derived HEI-OC1 cells and in a zebrafish model. The

otoprotective effect of p38 inhibition against radiation was tested in vitro in

the organ of Corti-derived cell line, HEI-OC1, and in vivo in a zebrafish model.

Radiation-induced apoptosis, mitochondrial dysfunction, and an increase of

intracellular NO generation were demonstrated in HEI-OC1 cells. The p38-specific

inhibitor, SB203580, ameliorated radiation-induced apoptosis and mitochondrial

injury in HEI-OC1 cells. p38 inhibition reduced radiation-induced activation of

JNK, p38, cytochrome c, and cleavage of caspase-3 and PARP in HEI-OC1 cells.

Scanning electron micrography showed that SB203580 prevented radiation-induced

destruction of kinocilium and stereocilia in zebrafish neuromasts. The results of

this study suggest that p38 plays an important role in mediating

radiation-induced ototoxicity and inhibition of p38 could be a plausible option

for preventing radiation ototoxicity.
