利用膜片钳技术对急性分离小鼠螺旋神经节神经元的电生理研究

目的 探讨小鼠螺旋神经节神经元(spiral ganglion neurons SGN)的电生理特性。方法 应用全细胞电压钳技术对急性酶分离的小鼠耳蜗SGN细胞膜上的离子通道电流进行记录和分析。结果 在SGN细胞膜上记录到对氯化四乙胺、4-氨基吡啶敏感的外向延迟整流钾电流和瞬时钾电流,以及对河豚毒素敏感的内向钠电流。并且离子通道活动具有明显的电压依赖性,在没有记录到钠电流的细胞记录到延迟整流钾电流。结论 急性酶分离的小鼠耳蜗SGN细胞的电生理特性可为听觉传导机制的研究提供了重要的参考,并指导下一步通道药理学的研究。

Research of the electrophysiological properties of acutely dissociated spiral ganglion neurons isolated from mice using patch clamp technique

Objective To explore the electrophysiological properties of spiral ganglion neurons (SGN) isolated from neonatal mice. Methods Ion channel currents of acutely trypsin-dissociated spiral ganglion neurons was recorded and analyzed using whole-cell variation of the voltage clamp technique. Results In the membrane of SGN, we recorded tetraethylammonium (TEA) -sensitive and 4-aminopyridine (4-AP)-sensitive outside delayed rectifier potassium currents, A-type potassium currents and tetrodotoxin-sensitive inside sodium currents. Ion channel activity had the character of voltage-dependence. Some cells, which did not exhibit sodium currents exhibited, delayed rectifier potassium currents. Conclusions The electrophysiological properties of acutely dissociated spiral ganglion neurons could be reference to the research of the mechanics of auditory propagation and the ion channel pharmacology.
