The invention belongs to the technical field of biological medicines, and particularly relates to application of
butyric acid-producing enteromonas in prevention and treatment of
senile deafness. It is found for the first time that the
butyric acid producing enteromonas sp. Has a remarkable
hearing protection effect in a
senile deafness model; the action mechanism is mainly embodied in that by improving hearing threshold rise caused by aging, the
structural integrity of
cochlea hair cells is partially protected to relieve arrangement disorder and deletion of outer hair cells, and the number of
inner ear spiral
neuron ganglions and vascular stripe aging cells is effectively reduced; meanwhile, the high expression of Pvalb
key genes and Parvalbumin in neurons and hair cells of spiral ganglions is up-regulated, so that the synergistic effect is achieved by enhancing the sound transmission
muscle efficiency of the
middle ear, improving the
blood vessel microcirculation of the
inner ear, stabilizing the hair
cytoskeleton and protecting nerves. The invention provides a new candidate strain resource and an intervention target for preventing and treating
senile deafness, and has important clinical application prospect and social value.
