Abstract
Regulation of intracellular pH (pHi) was studied in cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells, an important cell system for cardiovascular research. Suspended cells were acidified by the NH4Cl prepulse technique as well as by exposure to CO2/HCO–3. Subsequent rates of pHi recovery were monitored using the fluorescent dye 2′,7′-bis(2-carboxyethyl)-5-(6)-carboxyfluorescein (BCECF). In HCO–3-free solutions, an EIPA-sensitive, Na+-dependent mechanism fully accounted for realkalinization, namely the Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE). In the presence of HCO–3, an additional acid efflux mechanism was found. This one was dependent on Na+ and intracellular Cl–, EIPA-insensitive but DIDS-sensitive, and therefore represented a Na+-dependent Cl–/HCO–3 exchanger (NCBE). In summary, two acid-extruding mechanisms were identified in bovine aortic endothelial cells: NHE and NCBE.
