Cochlear gene transfer studies in animal models have utilized mainly two delivery methods: direct injection through the round window membrane (RWM) or intracochlear infusion through a cochleostomy. However, the surgical trauma, inflammation, and hearing loss associated with these methods lead us to investigate a less invasive delivery method. Herein, we studied the feasibility of a vector transgene-soaked gelatin sponge, Gelfoam, for transgene delivery into the mouse cochlea through an intact RWM. The Gelfoam absorbed with liposomes and adenovirus, but not with adeno-associated virus (AAV), was successful in mediating transgene expression across an intact RWM in a variety of cochlear tissues. The Gelfoam technique proved to be an easy, atraumatic, and effective, but vector-dependent, method of delivering transgenes through an intact RWM. Compared with the more invasive gene delivery methods, this technique represents a safer and a more clinically viable route of cochlear gene delivery in humans.

D003051 Cochlea The part of the inner ear (LABYRINTH) that is concerned with hearing. It forms the anterior part of the labyrinth, as a snail-like structure that is situated almost horizontally anterior to the VESTIBULAR LABYRINTH. Cochleas
D004423 Ear The hearing and equilibrium system of the body. It consists of three parts: the EXTERNAL EAR, the MIDDLE EAR, and the INNER EAR. Sound waves are transmitted through this organ where vibration is transduced to nerve signals that pass through the ACOUSTIC NERVE to the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. The inner ear also contains the vestibular organ that maintains equilibrium by transducing signals to the VESTIBULAR NERVE.
