Infection with human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) causes an enlargement (cytomegaly) of human fibroblasts (MRC-5). As a first step toward determining whether solute uptake, mediated in part by Na+/H+exchange, is responsible for the development of cytomegaly, we studied the effects of HCMV infection on intracellular pH (pHi) regulation (nominal CO2/concn = 0) by comparing cytomegalic cells with mock-infected cells. Seventy-two hours after HCMV infection of MRC-5 cells we observed the following changes relative to mock-infected cells: resting pHiis 0.1–0.2 pH unit more alkaline; the intrinsic buffering power of the cytoplasm was reduced by ∼40–50%; acid-loading H+-equivalent fluxes were reduced; and there were alterations of Na+/H+exchanger (NHE) properties, including an alkaline shift of the pHidependence of activity, a reduction of the apparent affinity for extracellular Na+, and an increase of the apparent maximum velocity and a large increase in stimulation by a hyperosmotic challenge. These results indicate that HCMV infection exerts a profound effect on functional properties of the NHE, on acid-loading mechanisms, and on intrinsic cellular buffering power. These effects are consistent with a role for the NHE in the development of cytomegaly.
