Аннотация:Lowering the extracellular pH (from 7.2 to 6.3) or intracellular acidification in isolated murine peritoneal macrophages before UV-irradiating them to 9 J/cm 2 (λ max = 306 nm) diminish the percentage of cells with damaged membranes. Extracellular pH 8.4 or intracellular alkalization have an opposite effect. After transient hypoosmotic swelling, the UV-induced membrane damage is fully pronounced regardless of external pH. In cells that survive UV-irradiation to 8 and 10 J/cm 2 (λ max = 297 nm), the intracellular pH is 0.2 and 0.25 unit lower than in nonirradiated cells.
