Erecinska M, Deas J, Silver IA: The effect of pH on glycolysis and phosphofructokinase activity in cultured cells and synaptosomes. J Neurochem. 1995 Dec;65(6):2765-72.
The effect of [H+] on the rate of glycolysis was investigated in glioma C6 and fibroblast BHK-21 cells and in synaptosomes from rat brain. The rates of lactate production at an extracellular pH (pHe) of 6.2, 7.4, and 7.8 were correlated with intracellular [ATP], [ADP], and [P (i)] ([ATP] i, [ADP] i, and [P (i)] i, respectively) and, when relevant, creatine phosphate (PCr) as well as with the levels of several glycolytic intermediates. In C6 cells cytosolic [H+] was measured simultaneously together with [Ca2+], [K+], [Na+], and membrane potentials. In all three systems studied, an increase in [H+] e suppressed whereas a fall enhanced the rate of lactate generation. Changes in pHe produced no simple correlation between the amount of lactate formed and alterations either in the absolute [ATP], [ADP], [P (i)], and [PCr] or their ratios but did correlate with the levels of glycolytic intermediates. Higher [fructose-1,6-bisphosphate] and [glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate] and lower [glucose-6-phosphate] and [fructose-6-phosphate] accompanied faster glycolytic activity. Addition of rotenone markedly enhanced glycolysis at all pHe values studied. The increases were larger at higher [H+] so that the rate of lactate generation was only slightly lower at pH 6.2 than at 7.4 or 7.8. With rotenone present, [ATP] (and where relevant [PCr]) fell and [ADP] and [P (i)] rose under all pHe conditions. Simultaneously [glucose-6-phosphate] and [fructose-6-phosphate] decreased whereas [fructose-1,6-bisphosphate] and [glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate] increased; the levels of the last two were similar at pH 6.2 and 7.4.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) |
