Abstract
The effects of cisplatin (cis-dichlorodiammine platinum II, CDDP) on the mechano-electrical transduction (MET) current were investigated with a whole-cell patch-electrode voltage clamp technique in dissociated cochlear hair cells of chicks. CDDP blocked the MET channel in a dose-and voltage-dependent manner. At -50 mV, CDDP blocked the MET channel with a Hill coefficient of approximately 2 and a dissociation constant (KD) of 1.5×10-3 M. The kinetics of CDDP blockade consist of a voltage-independent and a voltage-dependent component.
