Cytoplasmic pH regulation in thymic lymphocytes by an amiloride- sensitive Na+/H+ antiport
The mechanisms underlying cytoplasmic pH (pHi) regulation in rat thymic lymphocytes were studied using trapped fluorescein derivatives as pHi indicators. Cells that were acid-loaded with nigericin in choline+ media recovered normal pHi upon addition of extracellular Na+ (Nao+). The cytoplasmic alkalinization was accompanied by medium acidification and an increase in cellular Na+ content and was...
متن کاملCytoplasmic pH and free Mg2+ in lymphocytes
Measurements have been made of cytoplasmic pH, (pHi) and free Mg2+ concentration, ( [Mg2+]i), in pig and mouse lymphocytes. pHi was measured in four ways: by a digitonin null-point technique; by direct measurement of the pH of freeze-thawed cell pellets; from the 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrum of intracellular inorganic phosphate; and by the use of a newly synthesized, intracellu...
متن کامل22Na+ fluxes in thymic lymphocytes. II. Amiloride-sensitive Na+/H+ exchange pathway; reversibility of transport and asymmetry of the modifier site
22Na+ flux and cytoplasmic pH (pHi) determinations were used to study the reversibility, symmetry, and mechanism of activation of the Na+/H+ exchange system in rat thymic lymphocytes. In acid-loaded cells, the antiport can be detected as an Na+-induced, amiloride-sensitive alkalinization. At pHi greater than or equal to 7.0, amiloride-sensitive net H+ fluxes are not detectable. To investigate w...
متن کاملGrowth factor action and intracellular pH regulation in fibroblasts. Evidence for a major role of the Na+/H+ antiport.
Chinese hamster lung fibroblasts (CCl39) possess in their plasma membrane an amiloride-sensitive Na+/H+ antiport, activated by growth factors. Measurements of intracellular pH (pHi), using equilibrium distribution of benzoic acid, provide evidence for a major role of this antiport in 1) regulation of cytoplasmic pH, in response to an acute acid load or to varying external pH values, and 2) the ...
متن کاملRegulation of cytoplasmic pH in bacteria.
In the last 30 years, bacteria have provided experimentalists with an easily manipulable system in which to study regulatory phenomena. This has led to a relatively clear understanding of the regulatory mechanisms which operate to control gene expression (35). However, with a few exceptions (e.g., chemotaxis, the control of enzyme activity) regulatory phenomena which primarily involve control o...
