Presbycusis has become a common sensory deficit in humans. Oxidative damage to mitochondrial DNA and mitochondrial dysfunction is strongly associated with the aging of the auditory system. A previous study established a mimetic rat model of aging using D-galactose (D-gal) and first reported that NADPH oxidase-dependent mitochondria] oxidative damage and apoptosis in the ventral cochlear nucleus (VCN) might contribute to D-gal-induced central presbycusis. In this study, we investigated the effects of apocynin, an NADPH oxidase inhibitor, on mitochondrial dysfunction and mitochondria-dependent apoptosis in the VCN of D-gal-induced aging model in rats. Our data showed that apocynin decreased NADPH oxidase activity, H2O2 levels, mitochondrial DNA common deletion, and 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) expression and increased total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity in the VCN of D-gal-induced aging model in rats. Moreover, apocynin also decreased the protein levels of phospho-p47(phox)(p-p47(phox)), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha), and uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) in the VCN of D-gal-induced aging model in rats. Meanwhile, apocynin alleviated mitochondrial ultrastructure damage and enhanced ATP production and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) levels in the VCN of D-gal-induced aging model in rats. Furthermore, apocynin inhibited cytochrome c (Cyt c) translocation from mitochondria to the cytoplasm and suppressed caspase 3-dependent apoptosis in the VCN of D-gal-induced aging model in rats. Consequently, our findings suggest that neuronal survival promoted by an NADPH oxidase inhibitor is a potentially effective method to enhance the resistance of neurons to central presbycusis.
