链霉素耳中毒豚鼠耳蜗外毛细胞外向钾通道的变化

目的:探讨链霉素耳中毒豚鼠耳蜗外毛细胞外向钾通道的变化。方法:应用听觉脑干诱发电位和全细胞膜片钳制技术。结果:链霉素耳中毒豚鼠体重明显降低;在以2 kHz为主的click刺激时听阈明显升高;从链霉素耳中毒豚鼠中分离的外毛细胞数明显减少,且以直径较长细胞为主;链霉素显著降低豚鼠耳蜗外毛细胞延迟外向K⁺电流;链霉素耳中毒豚鼠耳蜗外毛细胞Ca²⁺敏感外向K⁺通道和延迟外向K⁺通道的反转电位与正常对照组相比没有差异。结论:链霉素对外毛细胞外向钾通道的阻断作用是其耳毒性的基础,但不是细胞致死的直接原因。

Changes of K+ channels of outer hair cells in guinea pig cochlea with streptomycin ototoxicity

AIM:To study the changes of K⁺ channels of outer hair cells in guinea pig cochlea with streptomycin ototoxicity. METHODS:Auditory brainstem responses (ABR) and whole-cell patch clamp techniques were used.RESULTS:(1) The body weight of guinea pigs with streptomycin ototoxicity decreased significantly; (2) The ABR threshold markedly increased in streptomycin group (Ⅱ,Ⅲ);(3)The number of dissociated outer hair cells of guinea pigs (Ⅱ,Ⅲ) was lower than that of control (Ⅰ); (4) Streptomycin decreased the Ca²⁺-sensitive K⁺ currents and delayed outward K⁺ currents distinctly; (5) There was no significant difference of K⁺ currents between Ⅰ and Ⅱ/Ⅲ. CONCLUSION:These results suggest that the inhibition of K⁺ channels is the basis of streptomycin ototoxicity, but not the direct reason for cell death.
