    The central nervous system (CNS) pericytes play an important role in brain microcirculation. Na(+)/H(+) exchanger isoform 1 (NHE1) has been suggested to regulate the proliferation of nonvascular cells through the regulation of intracellular pH, Na(+), and cell volume; however, the relationship between NHE1 and intracellular Ca(2+), an essential signal of cell growth, is still not known. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the role of NHE1 in Ca(2+) signaling and the proliferation of human CNS pericytes. The intracellular Ca(2+) concentration was measured by fura 2 in cultured human CNS pericytes. The cells showed spontaneous Ca(2+) oscillation under quasi-physiological ionic conditions. A decrease in extracellular pH or Na(+) evoked a transient Ca(2+) rise followed by Ca(2+) oscillation, whereas an increase in pH or Na(+) did not induce the Ca(2+) responses. The Ca(2+) oscillation was inhibited by an inhibitor of NHE in a dose-dependent manner and by knockdown of NHE1 by using RNA interference. The Ca(2+) oscillation was completely abolished by thapsigargin. The proliferation of pericytes was attenuated by inhibition of NHE1. These results demonstrate that NHE1 regulates Ca(2+) signaling via the modulation of Ca(2+) release from the endoplasmic reticulum, thus contributing to the regulation of proliferation in CNS pericytes.
