Regulation of Cytoplasmic pH in Osteoclasts

Abstract: Osteoclasts resorb bone by secreting protons into an extracellular resorption zone through vacuolar-type proton pumps located in the ruffled border. The present study was undertaken to evaluate whether proton pumps also contribute to intracellular pH (pHi) regulation. Fluorescence imaging and photometry, and electrophysiological methods were used to characterize the mechanisms of pH regulation in isolated rabbit osteoclasts. The fluorescence of single osteoclasts cultured on glass coverslips and loaded with a … Show more

“…Moreover, in osteoclasts, numerous bafilomycin-insensitive acidic vacuoles (47) and some alternative forms of vacuolar pumps have been reported (16,17). The existence of bafilomycin-insensitive H+ extrusion pathway in osteoclasts was previously reported by us (36a) and others (48).…”

“…As described earlier (22), rabbit osteoclasts cultured on plastic or glass at physiological pH display a variety of phenotypes; a majority of the cells show a "flat" morphology, with well developed lamellipodia. Migrating osteoclasts displaying the "spread" phenotype can also be observed.…”

“…By contrast, the plasmalemmal V-ATPase played a relatively minor role (22). To study the effect of extracellular acidosis on proton extrusion mechanisms, osteoclasts plated on glass coverslips were cultured in HEPES-buffered and nominally bicarbonate-free medium at pH 7.5, 7.0, or 6.5.…”

“…An example of how preserving intracellular pH is protective for the apoptotic cell death pathway is found in hematopoietic stem cells where granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) delays apoptosis by cytoplasmic alkalinization through activation of the Na ϩ /H ϩ exchanger and in neutrophils where granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) delays apoptosis by activation of the vacuolar proton ATPase (VPATPase) (15)(16)(17). The VPATPase is known to be activated by PKC (15,18,19), suggesting it could be activated during preconditioning.…”
