In the present study in GH4C1 cells, the dependence of TRH-induced activation of Na+/H(+)-exchange on extracellular Na+ and Ca2+ was examined. Furthermore, the effects of both extracellular and intracellular H+ on Na+/H(+)-exchange were investigated. The buffering capacity was 63 +/- 11.8 mM (pH unit)-1 at basal intracellular pH (pHi) of 7.02 +/- 0.02. The initial rate of alkalinization in cells acidified with nigericin increased with increasing concentrations of extracellular Na+ according to simple Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The apparent Km-value for Na+ was 53 +/- 17.5 mM and the Vmax value was 28 +/- 4.5 mM H+/min. Addition of Na+ together with TRH increased Vmax to 56 +/- 6.4 mM H+/min (P < 0.05), while no difference was observed in Km. Decreasing extracellular pH (pHo) decreased the rate of alkalinization of acid-loaded cells, despite a large inward Na+ gradient. Furthermore, a decrease in pHi was necessary to obtain activation of Na+/H+ exchange. At pHi-values close to basal pHi no activation of Na+/H(+)-exchange was obtained. In addition, the results showed that extracellular Ca2+ was necessary for TRH-induced activation of Na+/H+ exchange. Blocking influx of extracellular Ca2+ with Ni2+ abolished the effect of TRH, suggesting that the TRH-induced activation of Na+/H(+)-exchange in GH4C1 cells is dependent on influx of extracellular Ca2+.
在目前对GH4C1细胞的研究中,检测了促甲状腺激素释放激素(TRH)诱导的Na⁺/H⁺交换激活对细胞外Na⁺和Ca²⁺的依赖性。此外,还研究了细胞外和细胞内H⁺对Na⁺/H⁺交换的影响。在细胞内基础pH(pHi)为7.02±0.02时,缓冲能力为63±11.8 mM(pH单位)⁻¹。用尼日利亚菌素酸化的细胞中,碱化的初始速率根据简单的米氏动力学随细胞外Na⁺浓度增加而增加。Na⁺的表观Km值为53±17.5 mM,Vmax值为28±4.5 mM H⁺/min。Na⁺与TRH一起添加可将Vmax提高到56±6.4 mM H⁺/min(P<0.05),而Km无差异。降低细胞外pH(pHo)会降低酸负荷细胞的碱化速率,尽管存在较大的内向Na⁺梯度。此外,需要降低pHi才能激活Na⁺/H⁺交换。在接近基础pHi的pHi值时,未获得Na⁺/H⁺交换的激活。此外,结果表明细胞外Ca²⁺是TRH诱导的Na⁺/H⁺交换激活所必需的。用Ni²⁺阻断细胞外Ca²⁺的内流消除了TRH的作用,表明TRH诱导的GH4C1细胞中Na⁺/H⁺交换激活依赖于细胞外Ca²⁺的内流。
