pH intracelular nos neurônios dos gânglios das raízes dorsais. / Intracellular pH in neurons of dorsal root ganglia.

Taniguchi, Érika Yumi 11 May 2017 (has links)
O objetivo do trabalho foi determinar o pHi, a capacidade tamponante do citosol na ausência de CO2/HCO3- (βi) de neurônios dos gânglios das raízes dorsais e investigar a expressão de trocadores Na+/H+ e sua função na regulação do pHi. O pHi foi estimado com o indicador fluorescente BCECF. A operação do trocador era quantificada na recuperação da acidose intracelular induzida experimentalmente. Na ausência do tampão CO2/HCO3- a taxa de alcalinização (k) deve-se, por hipótese, ao transporte de H+ pelo trocador. A hipótese foi confirmada pela ação de agentes farmacológicos, e.g., amiloride. Em soluções tamponadas por CO2/HCO3- as células tem pHi de 7,24 e, em soluções tamponadas com HEPES, 7,04. A βi foi de 8,17 mM/pH. As células se recuperam da acidose com k médio de 0,0138 s-1. O efeito inibitório do amiloride em concentração de 1 mM deve-se ao fato dos fenótipos celulares expressarem diferentes isoformas do trocador. Segundo RT-PCR, todas as 5 isoformas do trocador são expressas e a quantidade de RNAm, avaliada por qPCR, é maior para a NHE1, seguida de NHE5. / The objective here was to determine intracellular pH (pHi), cytosolic buffering power in CO2/HCO3- free medium (βi) of neurons from dorsal root ganglia and to investigate the functional expression of the Na+/H+ exchangers in the regulation of pHi. pHi was estimated with fluorescence indicator BCECF. Exchanger operation was quantified during recovery from intracellular acidification induced experimentally. In CO2/HCO3- free medium the alkalinization rate (k) is due, hypothetically, H+ extrusion by the exchanger. This assumption was confirmed by action of pharmacologic agents, e.g., amiloride. In medium buffered with CO2/HCO3- cells have pHi of 7.24 and, in medium buffered with HEPES, 7.04. βi calculated was 8.17 mM/pH. Cells recovery from acidosis with mean k of 0.0138 s-1. Inhibitory effect of amiloride in 1 mM concentration is due to cellular phenotypes expressing different Na+/H+ exchanger isoforms. According to RT-PCR, all the five exchanger isoforms are expressed and mRNA quantity, evaluated by qPCR, is greater to NHE1, followed by NHE5.
