ABSTRACT We have studied the chronic effects of TSH (100μU/ml) and insulin (10μg/ml) on intracellular pH (pHi) in FRTL-5 cells using the pH sensitive probe 2′7-bis (2-carboxyethyl-5′-6′) carboxyfluorescein. FRTL-5 cells were cultured on Petri dishes either in the presence of 4H, ie. Coons F-12 containing cortisol (10nM), transferrin (0.5μg/ml), glycyl-histidyl lysine acetate (10ng/ml) and somatostatin (10μg/ml), or with 4H+insulin (5H), 4H+TSH, or 4H+TSH+insulin (6H). pHi was measured in small groups of cells by microspectrofluorimetry both in the presence and absence of bicarbonate ions after cells had been deprived of serum for at least a day.

In nonperfused proximal tubules isolated from chicken long-looped mammalian-type nephrons, intracellular pH (pHi), measured with the pH-sensitive fluorescent dye 2′,7′-bis(2-carboxyethyl)-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein, was ∼7.3 under control conditions (HEPES-buffered medium with pH 7.4 at 37°C) and was reduced to ∼7.0 in response to NH4Cl pulse. The rate of recovery of pHi from this level to the resting level was 1) significantly reduced by the removal of Na+ from the bath, 2) significantly increased by the removal of Cl− from the bath, 3) unchanged by the removal of both Na+ and Cl− from the bath, 4) significantly reduced by the addition of either ethylisopropylamiloride or DIDS to the bath, 5) significantly increased by a high bath K+ concentration, and 6) unchanged by the addition of Ba2+ to the bath. These data suggest that both Na+-coupled and Cl−-coupled basolateral acid-base fluxes are involved in determining the rate of recovery of pHi after acidification. The most likely ones to be important in regulating pHi are a Na+/H+exchanger and a Na+-coupled Cl−/[Formula: see text]exchanger. In birds, long-looped mammalian-type nephrons resemble short-looped transitional nephrons but differ markedly from superficial loopless reptilian-type nephrons.

To promote chemotherapeutic efficacy and easier clinical transformation, a series of pH-sensitive and dynamic drug delivery systems with facile two-step synthesis and simple structure have been successfully constructed by the tunable grafting reaction between pH-sensitive ortho ester and poly(vinyl alcohol). The amphipathic graft macromolecules (PVA- g-OE x, x represents the percentage of feed between ortho esters and hydroxyl groups of polyvinyl alcohol) could self-assemble into micelles and doxorubicin was embedded. These micelles exhibited pH-sensitivity to both extracellular and intracellular pH and demonstrated the following characteristics: (i) maintaining long-term storage and blood circulation stability at pH 7.4; (ii) responding to tumoral extracellular pH value following gradually larger nanoparticles for improved drug accumulation and retention; (iii) being sensitive to tumoral intracellular pH value following disintegration for rapid drug release to improve toxicity to tumor cells. Moreover, the doxorubicin-loaded micelle (PVA- g-OE30-DOX) showed similar cytotoxicity to free doxorubicin in vitro, but stronger tumor penetration and inhibition ability in vitro human liver carcinoma cell line multicellular tumor spheroids. In vivo biodistribution and tumor inhibition examinations demonstrated that PVA- g-OE30-DOX had more superior efficacy in significantly enhancing drug accumulation in tumor, restraining tumor growth while decreasing drug concentration in normal tissues. The pH-sensitive, dynamic graft polymer micelles via simple synthesis could be considered as a promising and effective drug carrier in tumor therapy.
