In this study, we investigated ionic mechanisms involved in growth arrest induced by extracellular ATP in androgen-independent prostate cancer cells. Extracellular ATP reversibly induced a rapid and sustained intracellular pH (pH(i)) decrease from 7.41 to 7.11. Inhibition of Ca2+ influx, lowering extracellular Ca2+, and buffering cytoplasmic Ca2+ inhibited ATP-induced acidification, thereby demonstrating that acidification is a consequence of Ca2+ entry. We show that ATP induced reuptake of Ca2+ by the mitochondria and a transient depolarization of the inner mitochondrial membrane. ATP-induced acidification was reduced after the dissipation of the mitochondrial proton gradient by rotenone and carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone, after inhibition of Ca2+ uptake into the mitochondria by ruthenium red, and after inhibition of the F0F1-ATPase with oligomycin. ATP-induced acidification was not induced by either stimulation of the Cl-/HCO3- exchanger or inhibition of the Na+/H+ exchanger. In addition, intracellular acidification, induced by an ammonium prepulse method, reduced the amount of releasable Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum, assessed by measuring change in cytosolic Ca2+ induced by thapsigargin or ATP in a Ca2+-free medium. This latter finding reveals cross talk between pH(i) and Ca2+ homeostasis in which the Ca2+-induced intracellular acidification can in turn regulate the amount of Ca2+ that can be released from the endoplasmic reticulum. Furthermore, pH(i) decrease was capable of reducing cell growth. Taken together, our results suggest that ATP-induced acidification in DU-145 cells results from specific effect of mitochondrial function and is one of the major mechanisms leading to growth arrest induced by ATP.
