title: [Changes in pH in the cytoplasm of rat thymocytes after treatment with the mitogen concanavalin A and protein kinase C activator phorbol ester].
abstract: The intracellular pH (pHi) of rat thymocytes has been measured with the fluorescent probe 2', 7'-bis(carboxyethyl)-5,6-carboxyfluorescein, both in the resting cells and under mitogenic stimulation. Concanavalin A (Con A) has been found to increase pHi from 7.16 +/- 0.02 to 7.30 +/- 0.02 during the first minutes after addition; the phorbol ester TPA raised pHi to 7.25 +/- 0.02. The Con A- and TPA-induced rise of pHi is due to activation of Na+/H+ exchange since it was abolished by amiloride, an inhibitor of Na+/H+ antiport, or in a low-Na+ medium. The elevation of intracellular cAMP level, decrease of cellular ATP, or the lowering of the temperature from 37 degrees down to 25 degrees C inhibited the pHi rise induced by Con A or TPA.
