Photomicrographs of rat vestibular hair cells in the macula of utricles labeled with Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated phalloidin. (A) Untreated vestibular explants after 48 h culturing, showing well-organized vestibular hair cells as in normal controls. (B) Visible hair cell loss after treatment with 10 µM carboplatin. (C) Massive loss of vestibular hair cells after 50 µM carboplatin treatment. (D) Destruction of most vestibular hair cells after treatment with 100 µM carboplatin. (E) Increased hair cells survival after culturing with 500 µM carboplatin. (F) Mostly intact hair cells after 1000 µM carboplatin treatment.
