Kanamycin induces free radicals formation in melanocytes : An important factor for aminoglycosides ototoxicity

© 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc..

Ototoxicity is well-documented but not fully understood undesirable side effect of aminoglycoside antibiotic, kanamycin. Kanamycin is capable of binding to melanin biopolymers-natural pigments of the skin, hair, and eyes. Melanin-producing cells, melanocytes, are also present in the inner ear and are known to be necessary for normal hearing. It was considered that melanin content in the inner ear may influence aminoglycoside-induced ototoxic effect. The impact of kanamycin on melanocytes homeostasis may thus play role in the antibiotic-induced ototoxic effect. Previously, we demonstrated that kanamycin disturbs homeostasis in light-pigmented melanocytes. To investigate if/how melanization contributes to this phenomenon, the study using in vitro model of dark-pigmented melanocytes is required. Spectrophotometric measurements and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy analysis were performed. Kanamycin induced a concentration-dependent loss in HEMn-DP melanocytes viability. The value of IC 50 was estimated to be 5.0 mM. Modulation of the activity of analyzed antioxidant enzymes and increased production of free radicals as well as the decrease of the melanin content were observed. Our results confirmed that kanamycin generates oxidative stress in melanocytes. The increased level of free radicals caused by kanamycin may be responsible for the imbalance of antioxidant defense and the reduction of melanin content in melanocytes. The role of melanin in the mechanism of kanamycin-induced hearing impairment was discussed and the obtained results were compared with the previously demonstrated data concerning light-pigmented melanocytes.
