维生素C与过氧化氢对老年豚鼠耳蜗外毛细胞大电导钙激活钾通道电流的影响

Effects of Vitamin C and Hydrogen Dioxide on the Electric Current of Large-conductance Calcium-activated Potassium Channels in Isolated Outer Hair Cells of Old Guinea Pigs' Cochlears

目的研究过氧化氢(H2O2)及维生素C对老年豚鼠耳蜗外毛细胞大电导钙激活钾通道(large conductance Ca2+-activated potassium channels,BKCa channels)电流的影响及其机制。方法采用急性酶分离方法分离25只老年豚鼠耳蜗外毛细胞,以膜片钳全细胞记录方式观察BKCa通道电流(5只豚鼠);记录到稳定、正常的BKCa通道电流后,向新鲜分离贴壁外毛细胞的2ml浴槽的浴液中加入H2O2稀释液40μl,使浴液中H2O2浓度为4μmol/L,观察H2O2对BKCa通道电流的影响(5只豚鼠);再分组加入维生素C溶液10、20、40μl(各组5只豚鼠),使浴液中维生素C终浓度分别为25、50、100μg/ml,观察H2O2和维生素C联合作用对BKCa通道电流的影响。结果 1膜片钳全细胞记录模式下,记录到一串幅值较大、快速激活、几乎不失活的电流,激活电压大于-40^-30mV,电流随膜电位的增加而增强,并表现出外向整流的特性;加入BKCa通道特异性阻断剂伊比利亚毒素(iberiotoxin,IbTX)100nmol/L后,通道活动完全阻断,证实为BKCa通道电流。2加入H2O2后,用药3分钟内,当VT为+50mV时,BKCa通道峰值电流密度最大值从22.09±0.27pA/pF升至43.53±1.09pA/pF,增幅97.06%。H2O24μmol/L+25、50、100μg/ml维生素C时,BKCa通道电流表现浓度依赖性抑制,电流幅值和峰值电流密度随着维生素C浓度增加而减小,I-V曲线下降,洗脱后仍不能恢复至加药前正常水平。结论老年豚鼠耳蜗外毛细胞存在氧自由基/BKCa途径,而维生素C可减轻氧自由基对外毛细胞BKCa通道的影响。

Objective To study the effects of hydrogen dioxide （oxygen free radical donator） and vitamin C （oxygen free radical scavenger） on the electric current of large conductance calcium -activated potassium channels （BKCa channels） in isolated outer hair cells in aging guinea pigs .Methods Acute enzyme was used to isolat outer hair cells of aging guinea pigs ,in which of BKCa channel＇s electric current was observed and recorded by whole-cell recording mode of patch -clamp .After recording the stable and normal electric current of BKCa channels ,added H2 O2 dilution （0 .2 mmol/L） 40 μl in the 2 ml chambers within freshly isolated outer hair cells so that the concen‐tration of H2 O2 in the balneum would be 4 μmol /L .The groups（n=5） received individually vitamin C solution （5 mg/ml） 0 ,10 ,20 ,40μl in the 2 ml chambers within freshly isolated outer hair cells so that the concentration of vi‐tamin C in the balneum would be 0 ,25 ,50 ,100 μg /ml ,observing and recording the effects of different concentration of vitamin C to electric current of BKCa channels .Results ①In the w hole-cell mode of patch -clamp ,the rapid activation and non-deactivation electric current with a string of large amplitude was recorded ,above -40～ -30 mV activation voltage .The electric current increased with the increasing membrane potential .The amplitude in‐creased continuously and performed characteristics of outward rectification .When the concentration of IbTX was 100 nmol /L ,the activity of the channel was completely blocked and confirmed BKCa channel＇s electric current .②Medication within three minutes ,when VT was ＋50 mV ,the BKCa channels＇the maximum peak current densities of 4 μmol /L H2 O2 group rose from 22 .09 ± 0 .27 PA /PF to 43 .53 ± 1 .09 PA/PF ,amplification was 97 .06% .In H2 O2 4 μmol /L ＋ vitamin C with different concentrations as 25 ,50 ,100 μg/ml groups ,the BKCa channels＇elec‐tric current performed about concentration-dependent inhibition ,and electric current＇s amplitude and peak current density decreased with the increasing concentration of vitamin C ,the I-V curves were reduced .However ,this still could not be recovered to the normal levels .Conclusion The oxygen free radical /BKCa exists in the process .The vitamin C as oxygen free radical scavenger can reverse the process to a large extent .
