Abstract

Confocal microscopy and the H+-sensitive fluorophore carboxyseminaphthorhodafluor-1 (SNARF-1) were used to measure either intracellular pH (pHi) or extracellular pH (pHo) in isolated, arterially perfused rabbit papillary muscles. Single-excitation, dual-emission fluorescent images of the endocardial surface and underlying myocardium to a depth of 300 micron were simultaneously recorded from perfused cylindrical muscles suspended in a controlled atmosphere oriented oblique to the focal plane. Contraction was inhibited by the addition of butanedione monoxime. In separate muscles, pHo was measured during continuous perfusion of SNARF-1 free acid. pHi measurements were made after the muscle was loaded with SNARF-1/AM and the extracellular space was cleared of residual fluorophore. Initial experiments demonstrated the uniformity of ratiometric measurements as a function of pH, image depth, and fluorophore concentration, thereby establishing the potential feasibility of this method for quantitative intramural pH measurements. In subsequent experiments, the method was validated in isolated, arterially perfused rabbit papillary muscle during normal arterial perfusion and as pHi and pHo were altered by applying CO2 externally, exchanging HEPES and bicarbonate buffers, and changing pHi with NH4Cl washout. We conclude that in situ confocal fluorescent microscopy can measure pHi and pHo changes at the endocardial surface and deeper endocardial layers in arterially perfused ventricular myocardium. This method has the potential to study pHi regulation in perfused myocardium at boundaries where diffusion of gases, metabolites, and peptides are expected to modify processes that regulate pHi.
