Cisplatin-induced ototoxicity is correlated with functional and morphological changes in the organ of Corti, the stria vascularis and the spiral ganglion. However, the cochlear sites of cisplatin uptake and accumulation have not been property identified. Therefore, we have developed an immunohistochemical method to, indirectly, detect cisplatin in semithin cryosections of the guinea pig cochlea (basal turn) using an antiserum containing antibodies against cisplatin-DNA adducts. Platinated DNA was present in the nuclei of most cells in the organ of Corti and the lateral wall after cisplatin administration. Nuclear immunostaining was most pronounced in the outer hair cells, the marginal cells and the spiral ligament fibrocytes. This study is the first to demonstrate the presence of cisplatin in histological sections of the cochlea. (c) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
