Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To measure intracellular and tissue pH in periarticular soft tissue during different phases of antigen induced arthritis in the rat. METHODS: pH was calculated using the following values: (1) the distribution of [14C]-dimethyl-oxazolidinedione; (2) the total tissue water and the extracellular space water volume, which was measured as [14C]-sucrose distribution in nephrectomized rats. Experiments were performed during both maximal inflammation (Day 3) and the restorative phase (Day 14). RESULTS: In all animals both tissue (pHt) and intracellular (pHi) pH were lower in arthritic joints than in the contralateral control. Mean pHt in control joints was 7.37+/-0.03. In arthritic rats it was 7.30+/-0.05 on Day 3 after challenge and... (More)

RESULTS: In all animals both tissue (pHt) and intracellular (pHi) pH were lower in arthritic joints than in the contralateral control. Mean pHt in control joints was 7.37+/-0.03. In arthritic rats it was 7.30+/-0.05 on Day 3 after challenge and 7.27+/-0.03 on Day 14. The pHi ranges were 6.86-7.81 for controls, 6.65-7.28 for arthritis Day 3, and 5.66-6.91 for arthritis Day 14. CONCLUSION: In this model there is a reduction in pH in the periarticular tissue of arthritic joints. The magnitude is, however, relatively small and the pannus tissue is not uniquely acidic in comparison with other compartments. There does not seem to be a correlation between pH and changes in metabolic balance, pannus formation, or healing. (Less)
