信号传导及转录激活蛋白家族与听力损失的研究进展

Advances in the Study of the Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcriptions Family and Hearing Loss

听力损失是影响人类的最常见神经感觉障碍之一,严重影响患者生活质量,缺乏理想的治疗方法,其发病机制与内耳氧化应激、炎症和细胞凋亡相关。近来研究证实信号传导及转录激活蛋白(signal transducer and activator of transcriptions,STATs)家族成员参与调控内耳发育过程中听觉细胞基因表达和听觉障碍发生发展过程中细胞凋亡、氧化应激、炎症、自噬等生理活动。本文就STATs在内耳发育及听力损失中的研究进行综述,阐明其具体作用分子机制,旨在为听力损失的防治提供理论参考和研究方向。

Hearing loss is one of the most common neurosensory disorders in humans,severely affecting patients'quality of life with lack of ideal treatments.Its pathogenesis is related to oxidative stress,inflammation and apoptosis in the inner ear.Recent studies have demonstrated that members of the signal transducer and activator of transcriptions(STATs)family are involved in regulating gene expression in auditory cells during inner ear development and physiological activities such as apoptosis,oxidative stress,inflammation and autophagy during auditory disorders.In this paper,we review the research on STATs in inner ear development and hearing loss,and elucidate their specific molecular mechanisms,aiming to provide theoretical guidance and direction for the prevention and treatment of hearing loss.
