Ha-ras activates the Na+/H+ antiporter by a protein kinase C-independent mechanism.
The Journal of biological chemistry 1989;264(20):11839-42.
In quiescent Ha-ras-transfected NIH 3T3 cells, addition of serum growth factors, bombesin or 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) leads to a dimethylamiloride-sensitive intracellular alkalinization which can be inhibited by staurosporine, a potent inhibitor of protein kinase C. Expression of the transforming Ha-ras gene causes a growth factor-independent increase in cytoplasmic pH. This Ha-ras-induced alkalinization is sensitive to dimethylamiloride but is not affected by staurosporine concentrations which prevent the pH response after addition of growth factors or TPA. Protein kinase C depletion by long term exposure to TPA eliminates the pH response to bombesin and phorbol ester but does not effect the Ha-ras-induced intracellular alkalinization. It is concluded that expression of Ha-ras causes an activation of the Na+/H+ antiporter by an as yet unknown protein kinase C-independent mechanism.
