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.
