Electrophysiological properties of vestibular hair cells isolated from human crista by Nesrien Mohamed, Mohammad Al-Amin, Frances L. Meredith, Olivia Kalmanson, Anna Dondzillo, Stephen Cass, Samuel Gubbels, Katherine J. Rennie

“…Additionally, extracellular application of 8-bromo-cGMP inhibited IKLV in human crista type I hair cells suggesting modulation via a nitric oxide/cGMP mechanism. A slow hyperpolarization-activated current (Ih) was observed in some hair cells in response to membrane hyperpolarization below -100 mV.DiscussionIn summary, whole cell recordings from isolated human hair cells revealed ionic currents that strongly resemble mature current phenotypes previously described in hair cells from rodent vestibular epithelia. …”
