title: Interrelationship between insulin-like growth factor I-induced activation of the Na+/H(+)-antiporter and intracellular Ca(2+)-mobilization in thyroid cells.
abstract: Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) increased cytoplamic pH (pHi) and cytoplasmic Ca2+ [( Ca2+]i) in cultured porcine thyroid cells. Inhibition of the Na+/H(+)-antiporter by dimethylamiloride or a reduction of external Na(+)-concentrations attenuates the increases in pHi and [Ca2+]i. The [Ca2+]i response to IGF-I is a pHi-dependent process. IGF-I activates Na+/H(+)-antiporter and alkalinizes thyroid cells. The resulting increase in pHi facilitates the [Ca2+]i response by adjusting the pHi closer to the pHi-optimum of the intracellular Ca(2+)-mobilizing system. One of the biological functions of IGF-I-induced activation of the Na+/H(+)-antiporter is to shift the pHi to an optimal value for the [Ca2+]i response.
