An optical method was used to continuously monitor intracellular pH (pHi) in single cultured LLC-PK1 cells. Rapidly growing or quiescent cells, attached to coverslips, were loaded with the pH-sensitive dye 4'',5''-dimethyl-5(and -6)-carboxyfluorescein by exposing them to the dye''s permeant precursor. pHi was calculated from the intracellular absorbance spectrum of the dye in a single cell. For cells incubated in HCO3--free Ringer''s solution, pHi recovered exponentially from acid loads applied by NH4+ prepulsing. Because the recovery was Na+-dependent and amiloride-sensitive, it was probably caused by Na-H exchange at the plasma membrane. In HCO3- Ringer''s solution, external Cl- removal caused pHi to reversibly increase by .apprxeq. 0.3. This pHi increase was substantially reduced by 50 .mu.M 4,4''-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2''-disulfonate (DIDS) or by conducting the Cl- removal in the nominal absence of HCO3-. Reducing [HCO3-]o from 25 to 5 mM at constant pCO2 (lowering pHo from 7.4 to 6.7) caused pHi to reversibly fall by .apprxeq. 0.2. This pHi change was greatly diminished by DIDS, by removing of extracellular Cl-, or by performing the same pHo shift in the nominal absence of HCO3-. The pHi changes induced by altering [Cl-]o or pHo were not inhibited by Na+ removal. Our data indicate that LLC-PK1 cells possess a Na-independent Cl-HCO3 exchanger and that this transporter may be as important as the Na-H exchanger in determining pHi.
