摘要: Rapamycin is an antifungal agent with immunosuppressive properties. inhibits the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) by blocking mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1). atypical serine/threonine protein kinase, which controls cell growth, proliferation, and metabolism. However, less known about pathway in inner ear. First, we evaluated whether or not two complexes (mTORC1 mTORC2, resp.) are present cochlea. Next, tissue explants 5-day-old rats were treated increasing concentrations to explore effects on auditory hair cells spiral ganglion neurons. Auditory survival, neuron number, length neurites, neuronal survival analyzed vitro. Our data indicates that both expressed We observed inhibition results a dose dependent damage cells. Moreover, neurite number neurites significantly decreased all used compared control manner. indicate may play role modulates outgrowth formation.
