Abstract: Objective To explore the expressions of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and intedeukik-8(IL-8)in serum and peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs)from patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss(SSNHL)and their clinical significance. Methods A total of 44 patients with SSNHL and 32 age-matched controls were enrolled in the study. The expressions of TNF-α and IL-8 in the serum and PBMCs were detected respectively. Results The expressions of TNF-α and IL-8 in the serum from patients with SSNHL were not much different from those in normal controls(P>0.05). However, they were significantly higher in PBMCs(P<0.05). Conclusion The elevated expressions of TNF-α and IL-8 in patients with SSNHL are closely related to the inner ear immune-mediation, indicating that inflammation may play an important role in the pathogenesis of the disease. The expressions of TNF-α and IL-8 may serve as novel diagnostic and therapeutic targets of SSNHL.

Key words: IL-8, Sudden sensorineural hearing loss, Inflammation, TNF-α, Immune-mediated, Serum, Peripheral blood mononuclear cell
