Cisplatin-induced hair cell loss in zebrafish neuromasts is accompanied by protein nitration and Lmo4 degradation

Generation of reactive oxygen species, a critical factor in cisplatin-induced ototoxicity, leads to the formation of peroxynitrite, which in turn results in the nitration of susceptible proteins. Previous studies indicated that LMO4, a transcriptional regulator, is the most abundantly nitrated cochlear protein after cisplatin treatment and that LMO4 nitration facilitates ototoxicity in rodents. However, the role of this mechanism in regulating cisplatin-induced hair cell loss in non-mammalian models is unknown. As the mechanosensory hair cells in the neuromasts of zebrafish share many features with mammalian inner ear and is a good model for studying ototoxicity, we hypothesized that cisplatin treatment induces protein nitration and Lmo4 degradation in zebrafish hair cells, thereby facilitating hair cell loss. Immunostaining with anti-parvalbumin revealed a significant decrease in the number of hair cells in the neuromast of cisplatin treated larvae. In addition, cisplatin treatment induced a significant decrease in the expression of Lmo4 protein and a significant increase in nitrotyrosine levels, in the hair cells. The cisplatin-induced changes in Lmo4 and nitrotyrosine levels strongly correlated with hair cell loss, implying a potential link. Furthermore, a significant increase in the expression of activated Caspase-3 in zebrafish hair cells, post cisplatin treatment, suggested that cisplatin-induced decrease in Lmo4 levels is accompanied by apoptosis. These findings suggest that nitrative stress and Lmo4 degradation are important factors in cisplatin-induced hair cell loss in zebrafish neuromasts and that zebrafish could be used as a model to screen the otoprotective efficacy of compounds that inhibit protein nitration.
