Adverse outcome pathway for aminoglycoside ototoxicity in drug-resistant tuberculosis treatment

Abstract: Individuals treated for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) with aminoglycosides (AGs) in resource-limited settings often experience permanent hearing loss. However, AG ototoxicity has never been conceptually integrated or causally linked to MDR-TB patients' pre-treatment health condition. We sought develop a framework that examines the relationships between pre-treatment conditions and AG-induced hearing loss among MDR-TB-infected individuals in sub-Saharan Africa.

“…These alterations can be observed in the presence of pathological conditions, as in the case of AIDS, and when various medications are being taken, as, for instance, anti-retrovirals (6,26). In the auditory system, oxidative stress can make cells more vulnerable, contributing to the death of cells and alterations in the auditory pathway (11,12). The frequent manifestation of auditory abnormalities, from the middle ear to the central auditory nervous system, in individuals with HIV/AIDS has already been known for some time (27).…”

“…Recent studies in noise-exposed animals suggest that, in addition to the vulnerability of cochlear hair cells because of oxidative stress, there may concomitantly be a process that would damage the synapsis between the hair cells and auditory nerve fibers. This alteration in the synapses could cause an alteration in the processing of acoustic information, even in the presence of hearing thresholds within normality, contributing to the presence of abnormalities, such as speechin-noise difficulties and/or tinnitus (11)(12)(13)36).…”

“…Reactive oxygen species (free radicals) acting as mediators of the aminoglycoside (AG) toxicity appear to trigger cell death. [8] In 2016 the Ugandan national guidelines for the treatment of DR-TB recommended the use of a bedaquiline-based injection-free shorter treatment regimen (the 'modified shorter regimen', mSTR), but based on the severity of the disease and the eligibility criteria for the mSTR, most groups of patients are still being put on the injectionbased regimen. There are limited data in our setting on the ototoxic effect of these injectable drugs among the DR-TB patients.…”

“…Some of these drugs have been identified to have teratogenic effects. For example, aminoglycosides, including streptomycin, kanamycin and amikacin, have been shown to impact fetal birth weight and hearing capacity 6 12 13. As a result, some studies have recommended termination of pregnancy,8 14 and others have suggested reducing the dose of teratogenic drugs or suspending the treatment during pregnancy 15 16.…”
