The resting membrane potential of the cultured fibroblasts derived from rabbit subcutaneous tissues was −10.2±0.20 mV (n=390). This potential was affected by the potassium concentration in the culture medium, but not by other chemical or hormonal preparations, such as dibutyryladenosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate (0.5 to 5.0 mmol/l), sodium fluoride (10−5to 10−4M), hydrocortisone (10−7to 10−6M), parathyroid extract (0.5 to 1.0 U/ml), or thyrotrophin (5 to 10 mU/ml). The Na+, K+, and Cl−concentrations of the cultured fibroblasts were 35.4, 85.7, and 22.6 mmol/l cell water, respectively. The water and protein contents of these cells were 82.1 and 9.18 g/100-g cells, respectively. The intracellular pH of fibroblasts as determined by [14C] dimethyloxazolidine-2, 4-dione, and3H2O ranged between 6.9 and 7.1 when the pH of the culture medium was maintained at 7.4. The activiities of Na+, K+-, HCO3−-, and Ca++, Mg++-ATPases in these cultured cells were 19.0±2.1, 13.6±2.1, and 6.6±1.2 nmol pi/mg protein per minute, respectively, and the carbonic anhydrase activity was 0.054 U/mg protein. Calculations based on the values for the membrane potential and the electrolyte concentrations observed in this study indicate that Na+, K+, Cl−, and H+are not distributed according to their electrochemical gradients across the cell membrane. Na+, Cl−, and H+are actively transported out of the cells and K+into the cells.
