Intracellular pH modulates the generation of superoxide radicals by human neutrophils.
The relationship of intracellular pH (pHi) to superoxide radical (O2-) generation was investigated in chemotactic factor-stimulated human neutrophils. Exposure of cells to 100 nM N-formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP) caused activation of Na/H exchange which, in 140 mM Na medium (pH0 7.40), led to a rise in pHi from 7.22 to 7.80. This pHi change was sensitive to amiloride (apparent Ki 78...
متن کاملA role for Na+/Ca2+ exchange in the generation of superoxide radicals by human neutrophils.
A Na+/Ca2+ exchange mechanism has been recently described in human neutrophils that constitutes the principal pathway for Ca2+ influx into resting cells. The potential role of this system in regulating the respiratory burst in response to activation by the chemotactic tripeptide N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine was explored. In the presence of 1 mM Ca2+, a variety of di- and trivalent ca...
متن کاملRegulation of intracellular pH in human neutrophils
The intracellular pH (pHi) of isolated human peripheral blood neutrophils was measured from the fluorescence of 6-carboxyfluorescein (6-CF) and from the equilibrium distribution of [14C]5,5-dimethyloxazolidine -2,4-dione (DMO). At an extracellular pH (pHo) of 7.40 in nominally CO2-free medium, the steady state pHi using either indicator was approximately 7.25. When pHo was suddenly raised from ...
متن کاملIntracellular pH regulation during spreading of human neutrophils
The regulation of the intracelluar pH (pHi) during spreading of human neutrophils was studied by a combination of fluorescence imaging and video microscopy. Spreading on adhesive substrates caused a rapid and sustained cytosolic alkalinization. This pHi increase was prevented by the omission of external Na+, suggesting that it results from the activation of Na+/H+ exchange. Spreading-induced al...
متن کاملIntracellular pH regulates superoxide production by the macula densa.
We hypothesized that elevated macula densa intracellular pH (pH(i)) during tubuloglomerular feedback enhances O(2)(-) production from NAD(P)H oxidase. Microdissected thick ascending limbs from rabbits with intact macula densa were cannulated and perfused with physiological saline. When luminal NaCl was switched from 10 to 80 mM, O(2)(-) production increased from 0.53 +/- 0.09 to 2.62 +/- 0.54 U...
