Vibrations of the eardrum are relayed via middle ear Initiate pressure waves in the cochlear fluids Cause the motion the basilar membrane

CELLULAR BIOMECHANICS

P in the two scalae of the cochlea result in a traveling wave on the basilar membrane

Their movement is stimulated by the shear force of the membrane caused by the pivot point.

The outer hair cells, work as microscopic energy pumping motors

Hair bundle motor


A + deflection opens MET channels Increases stereociliary ca2+ Re-closes the channels and causes the bundle to spring back, recoil. Adaptation: Channel opening: increases hair bundle compliance Ca2+-evoked re-closure of the channel decreases compliance, causing the bundle to move back towards its original resting position.

Not limited by the membrane time constant, only by the kinetics of the channel activation and adaptation.

Method
To the hair bundles, a glass fiber was attached. The glass fiber was attached to a piezo device that measures the displacement using photodiode.

For the experiment neonatal rat outer hair cell were used. In some cases mature rat hair cells and cells from turtle were used.

Calibration

Calibration of the system, the linear relationship implies the correct measurement of displacement

CELLULAR BIOMECHANICS

MET currents Steady state around 8s

The bundle motion reaches the steady state slightly later than piezo motion This could be explained by displacement latency

MET channels increase their (po) with + hair bundle displacement (x).

Measurements at successive times (t ) after peak current : T=0,bundle behaves like a simple spring in which x is proportional to F T=1~8 the relationship becomes more and more nonlinear and this could be because that the hair bundle would generate its own force

FB=XKS-Ap0(X)+F0
Where KS = passive linear stiffness Po = probability of opening of the MET channels A and F0 are constants and are determined experimentally.
The ve sign is due to the force, generated in the direction of displacement which leads to the decrease stiffness. ________________ ________________

-The nonlinearity is time dependent and progress with adaptation.

-with a applied force, the current reaches it peak instantaneously, due to adaptation /internal mechanism, gradually decreases.

-the additional motion of the bundle signifies there is some additional force generated y the bundle.

Why this nonlinearity?

Due to the force generation in the hair bundles.

What causes this nonlinearity?

-Analysis says, the force generation in the bundles is a result of events at the MET channel level.

-MET channel has a dependency on the various factors present in the extracellular environment.

-Ca++ ion is known for reducing as well slowing down the adaptation.

Effect of low Ca++ concentration: - shifted the P0(X) relationship 200nm in ve direction(reduces the negative value). - A was reduced by 21%. Passive stiffness Ks was twice of its value.

FB=XKS-Ap0(X)+F0
- The t=0 is the measurement at the peak current, and hence shows the higher values in the force. - The subsequent time point measurements were taken at different displacements. - The values are approximated and correspond to maximum compliance.

- bundle force develops with the same time course as fast adaptation.

- Stiffness increased from 1.9 0.6mNm-1 in 1.5mM to Ca+2 to 5.5 1.0mNm-1 in 0.02mM Ca+2

-presence of myosin in the hair bundle. Myosin is known for affecting MET channels. Myosin action is not that fast to provide sufficient explanation.

-MET Channel which might be under going conformational changes MET channels generate force instantaneously. MET Channel adaptation. Different in polarity.
