Background  Previous evidence has indicated CMP-Neu5Ac hydroxylase (Cmah) disruption inducesaging-related hearing loss (AHL). However, its function mechanisms remain unclear. This study was to explore the mechanisms of AHL by using microarray analysis in the Cmah deficiency animal model.    Methods  Microarray dataset GSE70659 was available from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, including cochlear tissues from wild-type and Cmah-null C57BL/6J mice with old age (12 months,  n  = 3). Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified using the Linear Models for Microarray data method and a protein–protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed using data from the Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes database followed by module analysis. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analysis was performed using the Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery. The upstream miRNAs and potential small-molecule drugs were predicted by miRwalk2.0 and Connectivity Map, respectively.    Results  A total of 799 DEGs (449 upregulated and 350 downregulated) were identified. Upregulated DEGs were involved in Cell adhesion molecules (ICAM1, intercellular adhesion molecule 1) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) signaling pathway (FOS, FBJ osteosarcoma oncogene; ICAM1), while downregulated DEGs participated in PPAR signaling pathway (PPARG, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma). A PPI network was constructed, in which FOS, ICAM1 and PPARG were ranked as hub genes and PPARG was a transcription factor to regulate other target genes (ICAM1, FOS). Function analysis of two significant modules further demonstrated PPAR signaling pathway was especially important. Furthermore, mmu-miR-130b-3p, mmu-miR-27a-3p, mmu-miR-27b-3p and mmu-miR-721 were predicted to regulate PPARG. Topiramate were speculated to be a potential small-molecule drug to reverse DEGs in AHL.    Conclusions  PPAR mediated signaling pathway may be an important mechanism for AHL. Downregulation of the above miRNAs and use of topiramate may be potential treatment strategies for ALH by upregulating PPARG.
