Abstract

Intracellular pH (pHi) of human platelets was measured with the fluorescent dye 2',7'-bis(carboxyethyl)5,6-carboxyfluorescein under various conditions. Stimulation by thrombin at 23 degrees C caused a biphasic change in pHi (initial pHi 7.09); a rapid fall of 0.01-0.04 units (correlated with the rise of [Ca2+]i measured with quin2) followed after 10-15 s by a sustained rise of 0.1-0.15 units pHi. The fall of pHi and [Ca2+]i mobilization was reduced by early (5 s) addition of hirudin, but the later elevated pHi was not reversed by hirudin added after 30 s, although this strips thrombin from receptors and rapidly returns [Ca2+]i to basal levels. In Na+-free medium, or in presence of the Na+/H+ antiport inhibitors, 5-(N,N-dimethyl)amiloride (DMA) or 5-(N-ethyl-N-isopropyl)amiloride (EIPA), thrombin caused a greater fall of pHi (0.22-0.26 units) that was sustained. DMA or EIPA could also reverse the alkalinization response to thrombin. Ca2+ ionophores (ionomycin, A23187) decreased platelet pHi by 0.02-0.15 units, but without an increase of pHi comparable to that following thrombin; DMA and EIPA enhanced the fall of pHi (0.14-0.33 units). Cytoplasmic acidification produced by nigericin (K+/H+ ionophore) was followed by return towards normal that was abolished by Na+/H+ antiport inhibitors. The phorbol diester phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate had little effect on resting pHi but increased the rate of recovery 2-3-fold after cytoplasmic acidification by nigericin, ionomycin, or sodium propionate. These results indicate that elevation of [Ca2+]i by thrombin enhances H+ production, but the subsequent alkalinization is independent of receptor occupancy or elevated [Ca2+]i and stimulation of the Na+/H+ antiporter by thrombin probably involves some mechanism apart from regulation by H+ and protein kinase C.
