摘要：

To elucidate efferent inhibitory mechanisms of the cochlear inner hair cells (IHCs), the effects of candidate efferent neurotransmitters on intracellular Ca2+ concentrations ([CA2+]i) in the isolated IHCs of guinea pig were determined using the Ca2+ sensitive dye fura-2 and digital imaging microscopy. In the presence of 1 mM acetylcholine (ACh), there was a gradual and reversible increase in [Ca2+]i. In the presence of 10 muM ATP, there was a rapid and marked rise in [Ca2+]i. Thus. both ACh and ATP seem to be efferent neurotransmitters in IHCs of guinea pig. The ATP-induced elevation of [Ca2+]i in IHCs was suppressed when ACh was concomitantly applied; therefore, ACh may act as an antagonist of ATP-induced Ca2+ entry. With the independent addition of 10 muM calcitonin gene-related peptide and 10 muM enkephalin, there were no significant increases in [Ca2+]i. These neuropeptides are putative candidates for the efferent neuromodulators in IHCs of the guinea pig.
