Glycine mediated alterations in intracellular pH.

چکیده
Glycinergic transmission shapes the coding properties of the lateral superior olivary nucleus (LSO). We investigated intracellular pH responses in the LSO to glycine using BCECF-AM in brain slices. With extracellular bicarbonate, glycine produced an alkalinization followed by an acidification while, in the nominal absence of bicarbonate, glycine produced acidifications. Separately, in whole-cell recordings from LSO neurons, glycine caused hyperpolarization followed by long-lasting depolarization. While the bicarbonate-dependent intracellular alkalinization could be related to chloride/bicarbonate exchange, bicarbonate-independent acidification may be triggered by depolarization.

GABA- and glycine-mediated fall of intracellular pH in rat medullary neurons in situ.
In the region of the ventral respiratory group in brain stem slices from neonatal rats, intracellular pH (pHi) and membrane currents (I(m)) or potentials were measured in neurons dialyzed with the pH-sensitive dye 2',7'-bis-carboxyethyl-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein. Currents and increases in membrane conductance (g(m)) during bath application of 0.1 or 1 mM gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) were accomp...
متن کاملA transport system common to imino acids and glycine.
An intracellular transport of proline and glycine was examined by using Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells. The pH optima and the effect of heat inactivation on the intracellular uptake were found to be completely the same for both proline and glycine. The Michaelis type constant of glycine transport was the same as its inhibition constant to the proline transport. Moreover the Michaelis type cons...
متن کاملProperties of the pH-sensitive site that controls the lambda max of Limulus metarhodopsin
A pH-sensitive site controls the lambda max of Limulus metarhodopsin. The properties of this site were examined using intracellular recordings of the early receptor potential (ERP) as a pigment assay. ERPs recorded over a range of extracellular pHs indicate that the apparent pK of the site is in the range of 8.3-8.6. Several lines of evidence indicate that the site responds directly to changes ...

متن کاملModulation of acid-sensing ion channel currents, acid-induced increase of intracellular Ca2+, and acidosis-mediated neuronal injury by intracellular pH.
Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs), activated by lowering extracellular pH (pH(o)), play an important role in normal synaptic transmission in brain and in the pathology of brain ischemia. Like pH(o), intracellular pH (pH(i)) changes dramatically in both physiological and pathological conditions. Although it is known that a drop in pH(o) activates the ASICs, it is not clear whether alterations of...
