Early stages of dexamethasone-induced fibroplast apoptosis include changes in intracellular homeostasis determined by decreasing pH of the cytoplasm and increased intracellular calcium ion concentration. Na+/H+-transporter and plasma membrane calcium channels are molecular targets for the action of dexamethasone.

Keywords: apoptosis, intracellular pH, calcium, glucocorticoids, fibroblasts
