Effects of the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger monensin on intracellular pH in astroglia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Stimulation of astroglial glucose utilization by the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger monensin is only partially blocked by ouabain. The present studies show that monensin also raises intracellular pH in astroglia. Because increased pH stimulates phosphofructokinase activity, the ouabain-insensitive portion of the stimulation of cerebral glucose utilization (CMR(glc)) appears to be due to stimulation of glycolysis by intracellular alkalinization.

Role of sodium and potassium ions in regulation of glucose metabolism in cultured astroglia.
Effects of increasing extracellular K+ or intracellular Na+ concentrations on glucose metabolism in cultures of rat astroglia and neurons were examined. Cells were incubated in bicarbonate buffer, pH 7.2, containing 2 mM glucose, tracer amounts of [14C]deoxyglucose ([14C]dGlc), and 5.4, 28, or 56 mM KCl for 10, 15, or 30 min, and then for 5 min in [14C]dGlc-free buffer to allow efflux of unmeta...
متن کاملA proposed mechanism of monensin action in inhibiting ruminal bacterial growth: effects on ion flux and protonmotive force.
Streptococcus bovis, a Gram-positive ruminal bacterium, was unable to grow in the presence of monensin. When monensin (5 mg/liter) was added to actively growing cultures, there was an immediate decrease in growth rate, and within 3 h no further growth was observed. Glucose utilization and lactate production continued for another 8 h even though growth had ceased. Monensin caused a decrease (P l...
متن کاملProtein kinase C enhances Ca2+ mobilization in human platelets by activating Na+/H+ exchange.
Control of cytoplasmic pH (pHi) by a Na+/H+ antiport appears a general property of most eukaryotic cells. In human platelets activation of the Na+/H+ exchanger enhances Ca2+ mobilization and aggregation induced by low concentrations of thrombin (Siffert, W., and Akkerman, J. W. N. (1987) Nature 325, 456-458). Several observations indicate that the exchanger is regulated by protein kinase C. (i)...
متن کاملHyperforin, a major antidepressant constituent of St. John's Wort, inhibits serotonin uptake by elevating free intracellular Na+1.
Extracts of Hypericum perforatum (St. John's Wort) are widely used for the treatment of depressive disorders and are unspecific inhibitors of the neuronal uptake of several neurotransmitters. Previous studies have shown that hyperforin represents the reuptake inhibiting constituent. To characterize the mechanism of serotonin reuptake inhibition, kinetic analyses in synaptosomes of mouse brain w...
متن کاملChanges in intracellular Na+and pH in rat heart during ischemia: role of Na+/H+exchanger.
The role of the Na+/H+exchanger in rat hearts during ischemia and reperfusion was investigated by measurements of intracellular Na+ concentration ([Na+]i) and intracellular and extracellular pH. Under our standard conditions (2-Hz stimulation), 10 min of ischemia caused no significant rise in [Na+]ibut an acidosis of 1.0 pH unit, suggesting that the Na+/H+exchanger was inactive during ischemia....
