Osmotic properties of auditory hair cells in the leopard frog: Evidence for water-permeable channels
Publikováno v:
Hearing Research. 272:69-84
When amphibian papillar hair cells (APHCs) of the leopard frog, Rana pipiens pipiens, are osmotically challenged, they exhibit a characteristically asymmetric (rectifying) response: small decreases (5%, or less) in the extracellular solution's osmola

We have examined the interaction between muscarinic and α2-adrenergic receptor activation on inositol phosphate (IP) formation in the nonpigmented cells of the ciliary body epithelium (NPE cells) of the rabbit. We have compared these changes with th

We have examined the effect of alteration in cell shape on promoting differentiated morphology and physiology in cultured nonpigmented epithelial cells from the ciliary body. We have grown pure populations of nonpigmented cells on collagen gels relea

The purpose of these experiments was to demonstrate the presence of somatostatin receptors on the nonpigmented epithelial cells of the rabbit ciliary body and their link with intracellular Ca 2+ homeostasis. Freshly excised rabbit ciliary processes a

The combined effects of adenosine and acetylcholine on the intracellular free-Ca2+ concentration in nonpigmented epithelial cells of the rabbit ciliary body were investigated using fura-2 fluorescence-ratio imaging. Acetylcholine (10 microM) by itsel

Auditory hair cells in the amphibian papilla (APHCs) of the leopard frog, Rana pipiens pipiens, have a significantly higher permeability to water than that observed in mammalian hair cells. The insensitivity of water permeability in frog hair cells t

Using video, fluorescence and confocal microscopy, quantitative analysis and modeling, we investigated intracellular processes mediating the calcium/calmodulin (Ca 2+ /CaM)-dependent slow motility in hair cells dissociated from the rostral region of

We investigated the process of slow motility in non-mammalian auditory hair cells by recording the time course of shape change in hair cells of the frog amphibian papilla. The tall hair cells in the rostral segment of this organ, reported to be the s

In the past forty years, a wealth of information has accumulated that points to the presence of adenosine and adenine nucleotides in the anterior segment of the eye and a number of hypotheses have been introduced to describe the possible role of thes
