Implication

RNA-seq analysis demonstrates altered gene expression in vestibular sensory epithelia during ototoxic stress, suggesting biomarkers for hair cell injury.

Key Points

Downregulation of hair cell-specific genes was the earliest and most significant response observed during chronic ototoxicity.
Analysis revealed key genes associated with stress response, including Atf3, that were upregulated across species and treatments.
RNA-seq experiments compared gene expression in control and treated animals using both rat and mouse models, providing robust data.
Results highlight gene expression responses that could inform potential therapeutic targets for chronic ototoxicity management.
