The mechanisms underlying regulation of intracellular pH (pHi) by rat pancreatic duct cells were studied by use of the pH-sensitive, fluorescent, cytoplasmically trapped dye 2',7'-bis(carboxyethyl)-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein (BCECF). Cells exhibited a mean pHi of 7.18 +/- 0.14 in bicarbonate-buffered medium, as calculated from the BCECF fluorescence ratio. Removal of extracellular Na (Nao) caused an intracellular acidification that was rapidly reversed by Na replacement and occurred independently of Clo. Amiloride (10(-3) M) reversibly blocked Na-dependent recovery after Na-free-induced acidification. These results demonstrate the presence of a Na+-H+ exchange mechanism in pancreatic duct cells. Replacement of Clo with gluconate caused an intracellular alkalinization that was reversed by replacement of Cl. Application of the disulfonic stilbene derivatives, 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS) and dihydro-DIDS (2 X 10(-4) M), resulted in block of both Cl-dependent recovery from Na-gluconate and the onset of alkalinization of transition from NaCl to Na-gluconate. Chloride-dependent alteration of pHi occurred independently of Nao. These results demonstrate the presence of an anion exchange mechanism consistent with Cl--HCO3- exchange. Thus pancreatic duct cells contain both Na+-H+ and Cl--HCO3- exchangers.

D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
