title: [The effect of endothelin-1 on Na+/H+ metabolism in vascular smooth muscle cells].
abstract: The effects of endothelin on intracellular pH (pHi) were examined in cultured rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) using the fluorescent probe BCECF. Endothelin induced biphasic changes in pHi: initial decrease followed by a subsequent increase above the basal level due to activation of the Na+/H+ exchange. The elevation of pHi was slow and sustained, but depended on the dose of endothelin: IC50 was about 3 x 10(-8) M. Na+/H+ exchange inhibition by EIPA (10(-7) M) or by equimolar replacement of external Na+ by choline abolished the pHi increase by enhancing the first phase of cytoplasm acidification. Effects of endothelin were compared with the action of protein kinase C (PK-C) activator phorbol 12-13 myristate ester (PMA). PMA induced a monophasic slow and sustained increase in pHi. The treatments of VSMC with H-7 and staurosporine (PK-C) inhibitors prevented the pHi response to endothelin and PMA. These results suggest that protein kinase C may play an important role in mediating the effects of endothelin on Na+/H+ exchange in VSMC.
