The effects of Con A, WGA, Zymosan A on macrophage cytosolic pH and outflow of lysosomal content through exocytosis were studied with SNAFL-calcein and FITC-Dextran on ACAS570. The results showed all three ligands could induce macrophage cytosolic acidification in about 10 min and kept at the same level hereafter; outflow of lysosomal fluorescent probe through exocytosis appeared in 15-20 min. In resting conditions, macrophage lysosomes mainly distributed in cell center; after stimulated for 15 min by three ligands, the number of lysosomes increased in membrane periphery, in 25-30 min lysosomes moved back toward cell center. We proposed that ligands induced lysosomal pH rises was a basic factor for outflow of lysosomal content through exocytosis, cytosolic acidification inhibited receptor-mediated endocytosis. Cytosolic acidification and outflow of lysosomal content through exocytosis were the results of cellular self-regulation and self-protection during receptor-mediated endocytosis.
