We explored possibility that sodium/calcium exchanger 1 (NCX1) is involved in pH modulation and apoptosis induction in GYY4137 treated cells. We have shown that although 10 days treatment with GYY4137 did not significantly decreased volume of tumors induced by colorectal cancer DLD1 cells in nude mice, it already induced apoptosis in these tumors. Treatment of DLD1 and ovarian cancer A2780 cells with GYY4137 resulted in intracellular acidification in a concentration-dependent manner. We observed increased mRNA and protein expression of both, NCX1 and sodium/hydrogen exchanger 1 (NHE1) in DLD1-induced tumors from GYY4137-treated mice. NCX1 was coupled with NHE1 in A2780 and DLD1 cells and this complex partially disintegrated after GYY4137 treatment. We proposed that intracellular acidification is due to uncoupling of NCX1/NHE1 complex rather than blocking of the reverse mode of NCX1, probably due to internalization of NHE1. Results might contribute to understanding molecular mechanism of H2S-induced apoptosis in tumor cells.
