Stromal uptake and transmission of acid is a pathway for venting cancer cell-generated acid

Abstract: Proliferation and invasion of cancer cells require favorable pH, yet potentially toxic quantities of acid are produced metabolically. Membrane-bound transporters extrude acid from cancer cells, but little is known about the mechanisms that handle acid once it is released into the poorly perfused extracellular space. Here, we studied acid handling by myofibroblasts (colon cancer-derived Hs675.T, intestinal InMyoFib, embryonic colon-derived CCD-112-CoN), skin fibroblasts (NHDF-Ad), and colorectal cancer (CRC) ce… Show more

“…Based on this biophysical principle, it is possible to describe the diffusive properties of cytoplasmic buffers from measurements of H + dynamics in intact cells1825. To determine D H app , a local source of H + ions was produced in cytoplasm by photolytic uncaging from the membrane-permeant H + -donor 6-nitroveratraldehyde (NVA)23 once every 0.13 s. This generates an acidic microdomain which dissipates at a rate determined by the buffers’ concentrations, reaction kinetics with H + ions, and diffusion coefficients. To follow the progress of buffer-facilitated H + diffusion, pH-sensitive cSNARF1 fluorescence was imaged confocally across the RBC’s horizontal plane at intervals between H + uncaging (e.g.…”

“…Various mechanisms for assisting cancer cell acid-base homeostasis have been proposed, such as acid uptake by juxtaposed stromal cells (16), but these do not involve the direct provision of HCO 3 2 ions to cancer cell cytoplasm. Although carbonic anhydrase (CA)-catalyzed intracellular CO 2 hydration produces HCO 3 2 ions (17), it also loads cytoplasm with H + ions, which counters the objective of acid extrusion.…”
