생쥐 정자의 수정능력획득과 첨체반응에 작용하는 $Na^{+}$/H$^{+}$ antiporter의 역할을 조사하고자 하였다. $Na^{+}$/H$^{+}$ antiporter를 특이적으로 억제하는 dimethyl amiloride는 정자의 자발적인 첨체반응을 농도 의존적으로 억제한 반면 난포액 및 calcium ionophore인 A23l87에 의해 유도된 첨체반응은 억제하지 못하였다. 이러한 결과는 정자내 $Na^{+}$/H$^{+}$ antiporter에 의한 1가이온의 출입과 이에 따른 세포질내 pH 조절이 정자의 수정능력 획득과 자발적인 첨체반응에 조절요인으로 작용함을 암시한다. 수정능력을 획득한 정자에서 난포액 등의 agonist 또는 A23l87에 의해 유도되는 첨체반응은 $Na^{+}$/H$^{+}$ antiporter와는 무관하게 진행되는 것으로 사료된다.

Purpose: The enhanced cytotoxic effect of combined treatment of hyper-thermia and chemotherapy by increasing intracellular acidity with HMA was investigated. Materials and Methods: FSall tumor cells were injected on the hindlegs of female $C_3H$ mice. When the tumor volume reached about 200mm3, experiments were performed on the groups classified as follows: Group I :Control, Group II : Melphalan alone (2.5mg/kg, 5mg/kg, 10mg/kg, 15mg/kg), Group III : Heat alone $(42.5^{\cdot}C$ for 1 hour) Group IV : Melphalan + Heat $(42.5^{\cdot}C$ for 1 hour), Group V : HMA(10mg/kg) + Melphalan(5.0mg/kg) + Heat$(42.5^{\cdot}C$ for 1hour). Each group included 8-12 mice on each experiment HMA (3-amino-6-chloro-5-(1-homopiperidyl )-N-(diaminomethylene) -c-pyrazinecarboxamide), an analog of amiloride which increases intracellular pH(pHi) was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMS) and injected into the tumor-bearing mice through the tail vein. 10mg/kg of HMA and each dose of melphalan were injected into peritoneum of the tumor-bearing mice 30 minutes before heating. Tumor growth delay was calculated when the tumor volme reached at $1500mm^3$ Excision assay was performed on each group and repeated 2-4 times. Results : Tumor growth delay of each experimental groups at $1500mm^3$ were 9, 10, 13 and 19 days respectively. In vivo-in vitro excision assay using FSall tumor cells, the cytotoxicity of each experimental groups was $1.2{\times}10^7,\;1{\times}10^7,\;6{\times}10^6,\;1.7{\times}10^6\;and\;1{\times}10^5$ clonogenic cells/gm respectively When HMA was added to the combined treatment of heat and .chemotherapy, the tumor growth was delayed more than combined treatment without HMA i.e., 6 days tumor growth delay at $1500mm^3$ of tumor volume. Conclusion: The combined effect of cytotoxicity by heat and chemotherapy can be much more enhanced by HMA.
