description [EN] Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is the second leading cause of deafness globally. However, effective pharmacological treatments remain unavailable. Excitotoxicity, an early NIHL event, is a central mechanism in degeneration of cochlear synapses established between inner hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons. This excitotoxic damage can trigger the degradation of the neurotrophic TrkB receptor, thereby inhibiting brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) signaling and challenging neurotrophin-based therapies for hearing loss. Here, we evaluate the therapeutic potential in the inner ear of MTFL457, a cell-penetrating peptide that prevents TrkB-FL degradation during brain excitotoxicity. This peptide efficiently distributes through cochlear cells in both ex vivo (explants) and in vivo (noise-overexposed) models. In explants undergoing excitotoxicity, MTFL457 prevents TrkB-FL dysregulation, recovers downstream prosurvival signaling, and reduces neurodegeneration and cochlear synaptopathy. Furthermore, despite sexual dimorphism in noise damage susceptibility in vivo, MTFL457 preserves hearing function and synapses, demonstrating its therapeutic potential for NIHL and possibly other types of sensorineural hearing loss likewise associated with excitotoxicity.

No obstante, en la actualidad no se dispone de tratamientos farmacológicos eficaces. La excitotoxicidad, un evento temprano en la NIHL, representa un mecanismo central en la degeneración de las sinapsis cocleares establecidas entre las células ciliadas internas y las neuronas del ganglio espiral. Este daño excitotóxico puede desencadenar la degradación del receptor neurotrófico TrkB, inhibiendo así las vías de señalización mediadas por el factor neurotrófico derivado del cerebro (BDNF) y limitando la eficacia de las terapias para la pérdida auditiva basadas en neurotrofinas. En este estudio, evaluamos el potencial terapéutico en el oído interno de MTFL457, un péptido capaz de penetrar en las células, que previene la degradación de la isoforma completa del receptor TrkB (TrkB-FL) durante procesos de excitotoxicidad cerebral. Este péptido se distribuye eficazmente en las células cocleares tanto en modelos ex vivo (explantes) como in vivo (exposición excesiva al ruido). En explantes sometidos a excitotoxicidad, MTFL457 previene la desregulación de TrkB-FL, preserva las vías de señalización prosupervivencia y reduce la neurodegeneración y la sinaptopatía coclear. Además, a pesar de la existencia de un dimorfismo sexual en la susceptibilidad al daño por ruido in vivo, MTFL457 preserva la función auditiva y la integridad sináptica, lo que pone de manifiesto su potencial terapéutico para la NIHL y, posiblemente, para otros tipos de pérdida auditiva neurosensorial igualmente asociados con procesos de excitotoxicidad.This research was funded by an Industrial Doctorate project (IND2020/BMD-17454) from Comunidad de Madrid, with the participation of Alodia Farmacéutica S.L., and by MICIU/AEI/10.13039/501100011033/FEDER, UE, as part of projects PID2022-137710OB-I00 granted to Margarita Díaz-Guerra and PID2023−147347OB-I00 granted to Isabel Varela-Nieto.Peer reviewedDIGITAL.CSICComunidad de MadridMinisterio de Ciencia e Innovación (España)Agencia Estatal de Investigación (España)European Commissionelenatorres@iib.uam.esi.varela.nieto@csic.esmdiazguerra@iib.uam.esConsejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas [https://ror.org/02gfc7t72]202620262026info:eu-repo/semantics/datasethttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_ddb1application/pdfapplication/mswordapplication/vnd.ms-excelhttp://hdl.handle.net/10261/424340https://doi.org/10.20350/digitalCSIC/18196reponame:DIGITAL.CSIC.
