Presence of immunoreactive somatostatin in the covering epithelial cells of the spiral prominence was demonstrated by immunohistochemical methods. The concentration of somatostatin increases from the basal turn to the apical turn of the cochlea. Ultrastructural investigations of these cells reveal secretory granules with a diameter of 250-350 nm. The findings promote the existence of a local paracrine system of the inner ear.
免疫组化方法证实螺旋隆起的被覆上皮细胞中存在免疫反应性生长抑素。生长抑素的浓度从耳蜗的基部转向顶部逐渐增加。对这些细胞的超微结构研究显示直径为250 - 350纳米的分泌颗粒。这些发现支持内耳局部旁分泌系统的存在。
