The α10 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit is required for normal synaptic function and integrity of the olivocochlear system
Although homomeric channels assembled from the α9 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subunit are functional in vitro, electrophysiological, anatomical, and molecular data suggest that native cholinergic olivocochlear function is mediated via heteromeric nAChRs composed of both α9 and α10 subun...

Although homomeric channels assembled from the α9 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subunit are functional in vitro, electrophysiological, anatomical, and molecular data suggest that native cholinergic olivocochlear function is mediated via heteromeric nAChRs composed of both α9 and α10 subunits. To gain insight into α10 subunit function in vivo, we examined olivocochlear innervation and function in α10 null-mutant mice. Electrophysiological recordings from postnatal (P) days P8-9 inner hair cells revealed ACh-gated currents in α10 +/+ and α10+/- mice, with no detectable responses to ACh in α10+/+ mice. In contrast, a proportion of α10-/- outer hair cells showed small ACh-evoked currents. In α10-/- mutant mice, olivocochlear fiber stimulation failed to suppress distortion products, suggesting that the residual α9 homomeric nAChRs expressed by outer hair cells are unable to transduce efferent signals in vivo.
