Abstract
We have used time-lapse imaging to study cisplatin-induced hair cell death in lateral line neuromasts of zebrafish larvae in vivo. We found that cisplatin-induced hair cell death occurred much more slowly than had been shown to occur in aminoglycoside-induced hair cell death. By prelabeling hair cells with FM1-43FX, and assessing hair cell damage, it was established that cisplatin causes hair cell loss in the lateral line in a dose-dependent fashion. The kinetics of hair cell loss during exposure to different concentrations of cisplatin was also assessed and it was found that the onset of hair cell loss correlated with the accumulated dose of cisplatin. These data demonstrate the feasibility and repeatability of cisplatin damage protocols in the zebrafish lateral line and set the stage for future evaluations of modulation of cisplatin-induced hair cell death.
