1. During osmotic swelling, cultured osteoblastic cells (ROS 17/2.8) exhibited activation of large amplitude Cl- currents in the whole-cell configuration of the patch-clamp technique. Effects of hypotonic shock on cell volume and membrane conductance were rapidly reversed on return to isotonic conditions. 2. Voltage command pulses in the range -80 to +50 mV produce instantaneous activation of Cl- currents. At potentials more positive than +50 mV the current exhibited time-dependent inactivation. The instantaneous current-voltage relationship was outwardly rectifying. 3. The anion permeability sequence of the induced current was SCN- (2.2) > i- (1.9) > Br- (1.5) > Cl- (1.0) > F- (0.8) > gluconate- (0.2). This corresponds to Eisenman's sequence I. 4. The volume-sensitive Cl- current was effectively inhibited by the Cl- channel blockers 4,4'- diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2-disulphonic acid (DIDS) and 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino) benzoic acid (NPPB). Outward currents were more effectively suppressed by DIDS than inward currents. The concentrations for 50% inhibition (IC50) of outward and inward currents were 81 and 298 microM, respectively. NPPB was equally effective at inhibiting outward and inward currents (IC50 of 64 microM). The current was relatively insensitive to diphenylamine-2-carboxylate (DPC), 500 microM producing only 22.5 +/- 4.0% inhibition. 5. Inhibitors of protein kinase A (H-89, 1 microM) and tyrosine kinase (tyrphostin A25, 200 microM) were without effect upon activation of Cl- currents in response to hypotonic shock. Under isotonic conditions, elevation of intracellular Ca2+ by ionomycin (1 microM) or activation of protein kinase C by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA, 0.1 microM) failed to evoke increases in basal Cl- conductance levels. 6. It is concluded that an outwardly rectifying Cl- conductance is activated upon osmotic swelling and may be involved in cell volume regulation of ROS 17/2.8 cells.

Phosphophoryns (PPs) are phosphoproteins specific to the dentin matrix and are the major noncollagenous matrix proteins in rat incisor dentin. It has been hypothesized that their phosphate groups are important in dentin mineralization. PPs have many sequences which are substrates for membrane-associated endogenous messenger-independent kinases. The objective of this study was to localize the protein kinases involved in phosphorylating the PPs. Osteoblast-like ROS 17/2.8 cells, which secrete extracellular matrix phosphoproteins, were lysed. After removal of the nuclei and mitochondria by low-speed centrifugation, the membrane associated organelles were isolated at higher speed from the cytosol. The Golgi vesicle and rough microsome fractions were collected from 29-43.7% sucrose density gradients. Each fraction was tested for casein kinase II (CKII) activity using an in vitro phosphorylation assay with PPs as substrate. To characterize and confirm the nature of the components of the sucrose gradient fractions, the activities of specific enzymes such as N-acetylglucosamine galactosyltransferase and cytochrome c reductase, which are exclusively associated with the Golgi and rough microsomes, respectively, were determined. Electron microscopy of the isolated fractions confirmed the enzyme assay characterizations. CKII activity capable of phosphorylating the PP was found in the rough microsome fraction but not in the Golgi. Thus, phosphorylation of the secreted phosphoproteins would appear to take place in the endoplasmic reticulum as a cotranslational event.

Osteoblast-like cells, such as UMR 106 osteosarcoma cells, are known to be growth stimulated by growth factors such as EGF. In contrast, factors such as PTH and prostaglandin E2 inhibit their growth. The exact signal transduction mechanisms by which these latter factors act remain to be elucidated. Here we show that simultaneous treatment of UMR 106 cells with EGF and PTH-(1-34) resulted in a level of DNA synthesis intermediate between the levels of treatment with epidermal growth factor (EGF) and PTH alone. This correlated with the interference of PTH-(1-34) early in an EGF receptor-linked signal transduction pathway, i.e. the EGF-induced activation of p42 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase. This effect was also found for prostaglandin E2, and could be potentiated by the phosphodiesterase inhibitor isobutyl-methylxanthine and mimicked by forskolin and 8-bromo-cAMP. There was a strict correlation between the lowest concentration of PTH-(1-34) required to enhance protein kinase A (PKA) activity and that required to inhibit MAP kinase activation, whereas saturating amounts of PTH-(3-34), a PTH analog unable to elevate PKA activity, had no effect. Lysophosphatidic acid- and 12-O-tetracanoylphorbol-13-acetate-induced MAP kinase activation were also inhibited by PTH-(1-34) and forskolin in these cells. Similar effects were seen on basic fibroblast growth factor-mediated MAP kinase activation in ROS 17/2.8 cells, indicating that this mechanism is a general feature of PTH in osteosarcoma cells. The inhibition of this mitogenic pathway through activation of PKA might play an important role in PTH-induced changes in proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts.

The roles of three protein kinases, cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase A), protein kinase C, and beta-adrenergic receptor kinase (beta ARK), implicated in agonist-induced desensitization of guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G-protein)-coupled receptors were explored in four different cell lines after 48 hr of incubation with oligodeoxynucleotides antisense to the mRNA encoding each kinase. Desensitization of beta 2-adrenergic receptors was analyzed in cell types in which the activities of the endogenous complement of protein kinases A and C and beta ARK were distinctly different. Protein kinase A was necessary for desensitization of rat osteosarcoma cells (ROS 17/2.8), whereas the contribution of beta ARK to desensitization was insignificant. In Chinese hamster ovary cells that stably express beta 2-adrenergic receptors and in smooth muscle cells (DDT1MF-2), oligodeoxynucleotides antisense to beta ARK mRNA nearly abolished desensitization, whereas oligodeoxynucleotides antisense to protein kinase A mRNA attenuated desensitization to a lesser extent. In human epidermoid carcinoma cells (A-431), oligodeoxynucleotides antisense to either protein kinase A mRNA or beta ARK mRNA attenuated agonist-induced desensitization, providing a third scenario in which two kinases constitute the basis for agonist-induced desensitization. In sharp contrast, oligodeoxynucleotides antisense to protein kinase C mRNA were found to enhance rather than attenuate desensitization in DDT1MF-2 and A-431 cell lines, demonstrating counterregulation between prominent protein kinases in desensitization. Using antisense oligodeoxynucleotides to "knock out" target protein kinases in vivo, we reveal distinctive cell-type-specific roles of protein kinase A, protein kinase C, and beta ARK in agonist-induced desensitization.

In teleost retinas, rods elongate in the light and shorten in the dark. Rod motility is mediated by the actin cytoskeleton of the inner segment and is regulated by cyclic AMP- or cyclic GMP-stimulated phosphorylation of target proteins. In this study, we have identified the target proteins of cyclic nucleotide-dependent kinases in rods, using preparations of isolated, motile rod inner-outer segments (RIS-ROS). Five proteins found in Percoll-purified RIS-ROS were phosphorylated in the presence of cAMP (> 10 nM), cGMP (> or = 10 microM) and exogenous catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). The PKA inhibitor, PKI, blocked stimulation of phosphorylation by both cAMP and cGMP. Three cAMP-stimulated phosphoproteins were detected in cytoskeletal fractions of light- and dark-adapted RIS-ROS. One of these, PP33, appears to be a fish homologue of mammalian phosducin, based on immunolabeling by two different antibodies against mammalian phosducin and on electrophoretic characteristics in 2-D gels. Two additional phosducin immunoreactive bands were detected in Western blots. One, at 35 kDa, comigrated with a second cAMP-stimulated RIS-ROS phosphoprotein, PP35, which was also detected in the cytoskeleton. The other, at 37 kDa, was present in whole teleost retinas but not in purified RIS-ROS. Our results suggest that the effects of both cAMP and cGMP on teleost rod motility are mediated through PKA modulation of target phosphoproteins. These phosphoproteins include a cytoskeleton-associated phosducin homologue.

The osteoblast-like osteosarcoma cell line ROS 17/2.8, which expresses very low levels of estrogen receptor (ER), was stably transfected with the mouse ER in order to more easily evaluate the physiological role of estrogens in bone cell homeostasis. These transfected ROS.SMER 14 cells are highly responsive to estrogenic stimulation at subconfluence, but become refractory to estrogenic stimulation when postconfluency is reached. The purpose of these studies was to determine the mechanisms underlying this loss of responsiveness in these ER stably transfected cells at postconfluence. When proliferative capacity was evaluated by bromodeoxyuridine immunocytochemistry, approximately 70% of the subconfluent cells were actively dividing, whereas none of the postconfluent cells underwent division. Subconfluent cells were found to contain 2500-3000 ER-binding sites/cell, whereas the ER in postconfluent cells was low and often undetectable. Steady state ER mRNA levels were not significantly modified by postconfluency. ER protein levels were also unaffected by confluency status. Since protein kinase-C (PKC) has been reported to influence cell proliferation and steroid hormone receptor binding, PKC activity was measured in sub- and postconfluent cells. Calcium-dependent PKC activity was approximately about 2-fold higher in postconfluent compared to subconfluent cells, whereas no differences were discerned in calcium-independent PKC activity. In an effort to examine the role of PKC in greater detail, postconfluent cells were treated with PKC inhibitors (H-7 or staurosporine) or with the tumor promoter TPA (12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate) to down-regulate PKC activity, and changes in ER were evaluated. Inhibition or down-regulation of the PKC activity in postconfluent cells enhanced ER-binding capacity in a dose-dependent manner and estrogen responsiveness of an exogenous reporter gene and of the endogenous alkaline phosphatase, representing an endogenous estrogen-stimulated gene. These data indicate that there is an interaction between the PKC and ER signaling systems in bone cells and that this interaction may be influenced by the proliferative and/or differentiative state of the cells, resulting in modulation of hormone responsiveness.

We analyzed the endogenous nuclear 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) receptor (VDR) in rat osteosarcoma (ROS 17/2.8) cells and present biochemical evidence that it is a phosphoprotein. When ROS 17/2.8 cells are labeled metabolically with [35S]methionine, treatment with 10(-8) M 1,25(OH)2D3 elicits a decrease in the electrophoretic mobility of immunoprecipitated VDR in denaturing polyacrylamide gels, a property characteristic of phosphorylated proteins. Similar labeling of cells with [32P]orthophosphate results in a rapid (< or = 30 min), 1,25(OH)2D3-dependent incorporation of 32P into a 54-kDa VDR species that comigrates with the slower migrating receptor species extracted from [35S]methionine-labeled ROS 17/2.8 cells that have been exposed to 1,25(OH)2D3. Alkaline phosphatase treatment of immunoprecipitated VDR from 1,25(OH)2D3-treated cells converts the form of the VDR with reduced mobility to the faster migrating species present in 1,25(OH)2D3-deficient cells. Incubation of ROS 17/2.8 cells with the non-hypercalcemic 1,25(OH)2D3 analog, 22-oxacalcitriol (OCT), produces a level of VDR phosphorylation similar to that elicited by 1,25(OH)2D3 treatment. Transient transfection of osteosarcoma cells with a reporter vector containing a vitamin D responsive element derived from the rat osteocalcin gene yields equivalent transcriptional activation in the presence of either 1,25(OH)2D3 or OCT. Further experiments performed at various 1,25(OH)2D3 concentrations to assess the relationship between receptor phosphorylation and transcriptional activity in intact cells showed a positive correlation between these two parameters, indicating that the 1,25(OH)2D3 hormone stimulates VDR phosphorylation and transcriptional activation in parallel. Finally, highly purified casein kinase II (CK-II) phosphorylates the VDR in a 1,25(OH)2D3-independent, in vitro reaction.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The rod photoreceptors of teleost retinas elongate in the light. To characterize the role of protein kinases in elongation, pharmacological studies were carried out with rod fragments consisting of the motile inner segment and photosensory outer segment (RIS-ROS). Isolated RIS-ROS were cultured in the presence of membrane-permeant inhibitors that exhibit selective activity toward specific serine/threonine protein kinases. We report that three distinct classes of protein kinase inhibitors stimulated elongation in darkness: (1) cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA)-selective inhibitors (H-89 and KT5720), (2) a protein kinase C (PKC)-selective inhibitor (GF 109203X) that affects most PKC isoforms, and (3) a kinase inhibitor (H-85) that does not affect PKC and PKA in vitro. Other kinase inhibitors tested neither stimulated elongation in darkness nor inhibited light-induced elongation; these include the myosin light chain kinase inhibitors ML-7 and ML-9, the calcium-calmodulin kinase II inhibitor KN-62, and inhibitors or activators of diacylglycerol-dependent PKCs (sphingosine, calphostin C, chelerythrine, and phorbol esters). The myosin light chain kinase inhibitors as well as the PKA and PKC inhibitors H-89 and GF 109203X all enhanced light-induced elongation. These observations suggest that light-induced RIS-ROS elongation is inhibited by both PKA and an unidentified kinase or kinases, possibly a diacylglycerol-independent form of PKC.

Osteopontin is an acidic phosphoprotein containing casein kinase II (CKII) phosphorylatable sites and an acidic amino acid cluster. The metabolically 32P-labelings of both serines and threonines in vitro in osteopontin immunoprecipitated from rat osteoblast-like ROS 17/2.8 cells may suggest that casein kinase II catalyzes this modification. The enzyme occurs in microsomal fractions of rat osteoblast-like ROS 17/2.8 cells. Subcellular fractions containing endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus were isolated by differential centrifugation and were identified according to their ultrastructures and the presence of marker enzymes such as glucose-6-phosphatase and thiamine pyrophosphatase, respectively. both fractions phosphorylated the partially dephosphorylated osteopontin and the specific substrate peptide RRREEETEEE. Endoplasmic reticulum-catalyzed peptide phosphorylation was 2.7 times lower than that of Golgi although both endoplasmic reticulum- and Golgi-catalyzed peptide reactions were 50% inhibited by 20 and 100 ng/ml heparin, respectively. Western blot analysis revealed that both fractions contained osteopontin and microsomal CKII. Furthermore, microsomal CKII was immunogold-labeled in endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus. Heparin inhibition and utilization of [gamma-32P]GTP as a phosphate donor by both fractions confirmed their capacity to phosphorylate osteopontin. The results suggest that microsomal CKII modifies the acidic matrix proteins during transportation. These matrix phosphoproteins may participate in the mineralization process of hard tissues.

Microsomal casein kinase II (mCKII) is a membrane-bound enzyme present in the microsomal fractions of ROS 17/2.8 osteoblast-like cells. It phosphorylates acidic matrix phosphoproteins such as phosphophoryn and osteopontin. Addition of 1.0% Nonidet P-40 facilitates extraction of the optimum amount of detergent-solubilized and -activated enzyme from microsomal fractions. mCKII was partially purified over 3000-fold by sequential chromatography over DEAE-cellulose and heparin-agarose. SDS-polyacrylamide gels, showed that mCKII contained 43 kDa and 31 kDa polypeptides, corresponding to the alpha- and beta-subunits of the enzyme, respectively. The alpha subunit was identified by anti-CKII antiserum and the beta subunit, by its ability to undergo autophosphorylation. The enzyme was inhibited by 50% with 0.4 micrograms/ml heparin and stimulated by 100% with 1.0 mM spermine when casein was used as a substrate. The phosphorylation of phosphophoryn was reduced to 50% by 0.8 micrograms/ml heparin, but was increased to 2-2.5 fold by 5 to 15 mM spermine, which may be due to substrate-directed effects. Kinetic analysis showed that the apparent Km values for phosphophoryn (0.39 microM) and for osteopontin (2.1 microM) were lower than that for casein (21.3 microM). Vmax values of phosphophoryn and osteopontin were 2.2-fold and 4.6-fold higher than that of casein. Using the ratio Vmax/Km as a measure of kinetic specificity, osteopontin and phosphophoryn appear to be the more specific substrates than casein for mCKII. Thus, both proteins can be considered as physiological substrates for mCKII.
