In the present study the involvement of protein kinase-C (PKC) in the regulation of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and interaction of PKC with cAMP-induced up-regulation of VDR in osteoblast-like cells were examined. Activation of PKC by incubation for 4 h with the phorbol ester phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) resulted in a comparable dose-dependent decrease in 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 binding in the osteoblast-like cell lines UMR 106 and ROS 17/2.8, with a maximum inhibition at 100 nM and an IC50 at 5 nM PMA. Time-course studies revealed that in both UMR 106 and ROS 17/2.8 cells, 24-h incubation with PMA caused an increase in 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 binding. This can be related to down-regulation of PKC. Scatchard analysis demonstrated that activation of PKC resulted not in a change in receptor affinity, but, rather, in an increase in VDR number. This is supported by Northern blot analysis, which shows at 2 h a decrease and at 24 h an increase in VDR mRNA. At 4 h, when activation of the cAMP pathway results in an increase in VDR, activation of PKC results in a decrease in VDR. Coincubation for 4 h with PMA caused a decrease in PTH- and forskolin-induced up-regulation of VDR. This inhibition is not due to a reduction in cAMP production, as PTH-stimulated cAMP production was potentiated by PMA. The effect of activation of PKC on VDR is not a general effect, as PMA does not affect basal ornithine decarboxylase activity and potentiates PTH-induced ornithine decarboxylase activity. The present study demonstrates that PKC is involved in the regulation of VDR in UMR 106 and ROS 17/2.8 and that PKC interacts with cAMP in the regulation of VDR. The current data point to a negative controlling role for PKC in the regulation of VDR. Moreover, two different cAMP-regulated actions in UMR 106 cells (VDR up-regulation and ornithine decarboxylase activity) are differently modulated by PKC. Although the precise mechanism by which PKC represses and stimulates gene expression is not yet clear, this study demonstrates the important regulatory role for PKC in two osteoblast-like sarcoma cell lines.

Parathyroid hormone action on renal proximal tubule function involves phospholipase C/protein kinase C as well as adenylate cyclase/protein kinase A mediated regulatory pathways. Tissue culture experiments suggest that low concentrations of PTH affect preferentially the phospholipase C/protein kinase C pathway. In vivo, both regulatory cascades are probably involved in the regulation of proximal tubule function. It is not clear at present whether the two intracellular pathways are linked to one or two PTH receptors. A polarized distribution of PTH receptor(s) involving different second messengers appears possible in proximal tubule epithelial cells. High-affinity (Kd 10(-11)-10(-12) M) PTH receptors in the range of circulating PTH concentrations in vivo remain to be identified. Structural and functional characterization of PTH receptors as well as of the PTH-sensitive intracellular mediators and transport systems form the basis for a better understanding of PTH-dependent regulation of proximal tubule function.

Ca2+ and other polyvalent cations as well as polycations, such as neomycin, produce similar effects on intracellular second messengers and PTH release in dispersed bovine parathyroid cells, but it is unclear whether all of these agents share the same mechanism of action. The lectin Concanavalin-A (Con-A) and the activator of protein kinase-C tetradecanoylphorbol acetate (TPA) blunt the effects of elevated extracellular calcium (Ca2+) concentrations on several aspects of parathyroid function, including PTH release, the cytosolic calcium concentration, and the accumulation of cAMP and inositol phosphates. In the present studies we used these two agents as well as pertussis toxin as probes to investigate further whether neomycin acts on parathyroid cells through the same receptor-like mechanism used by extracellular Ca2+ to regulate parathyroid function. Con-A and TPA both enhanced PTH release by about 2-fold at 0.5-1 x 10(-4) M neomycin, concentrations that inhibited PTH release to an extent (40-50%) similar to that seen with high (1.5-2 mM) Ca2+. Con-A also reduced the inhibition of agonist-stimulated cAMP accumulation by the same concentrations of neomycin. Conversely, Con-A and TPA produced 70-80% decreases in the cytosolic calcium concentration transient and the accumulation of inositol phosphates stimulated by neomycin. The effects of these two agents on neomycin-regulated parathyroid function were similar in magnitude to their actions on the modulation of these same parameters by extracellular Ca2+. Pertussis toxin, however, which we have previously shown to block the inhibitory effects of high Ca2+ and neomycin on cAMP accumulation, had no effect on the inhibition of PTH release by these two agents. These results provide further indirect evidence that polyvalent cations and polycations act on the parathyroid cell through related pathways, which probably involve cell surface moieties containing carbohydrate(s).

PTH stimulates mammalian renal proximal tubule cell synthesis and secretion of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25-(OH)2D3] by a Ca-dependent process. In the present study regulation of 1,25-(OH)2D3 secretion by PTH, phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate, the Ca ionophore A23187, and calcitonin was evaluated in perifused rat proximal tubule cells isolated by collagenase digestion and centrifugation through Percoll. Tubules from rats fed a low Ca diet secreted 1,25-(OH)2D3 at a rate 2.5 times that of tubule cells from rats fed a normal Ca diet. Perifusion of tubules with human PTH-(1-34) (10(-7) M) induced an immediate and sustained increase in 1,25-(OH)2D3 secretion. Perifusion with either A23187 or 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate caused transient increases in hormone secretion, while both agents perifused simultaneously resulted in a sustained increase in 1,25-(OH)2D3 secretion. Perifusion of tubule cells with the protein kinase-C (PKC) inhibitor staurosporine blocked the PTH-induced increase in 1,25-(OH)2D3 secretion. Calcitonin had no effect on 1,25-(OH)2D3 secretion rates. The results of the present studies show that an activator of PKC increases 1,25-(OH)2D3 secretion by mammalian proximal tubule cells and suggest that the phospholipase-C/PKC signalling system may mediate PTH stimulation of 1,25-(OH)2D3 secretion.

We have reported that pretreatment of human SaOS-2 osteoblast-like cells with forskolin (Fsk; 10(-5) M) for 4 h strikingly inhibited subsequent cAMP responsiveness to a second challenge with Fsk (Fsk-induced homologous desensitization) without altering the responses to PTH or vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP). Pretreatment with PTH acutely augmented Fsk responsiveness, despite desensitizing the cells to rechallenge with PTH. The present studies were performed to investigate the mechanism of this differential desensitization. Fsk-induced desensitization was not mimicked by 1,9-dideoxyforskolin, a Fsk analog that does not activate adenylate cyclase (AC) but does reproduce certain cAMP-independent effects of Fsk. Fsk-induced homologous desensitization was also completely blocked in a cAMP-resistant mutant SaOS-2 cell line (Ca 4A), in which protein kinase-A (PKA) is not activated by endogenous cAMP. However, pretreatment with PTH (or VIP), which induced a large increase in cAMP, did not attenuate, but, rather, increased, the subsequent cAMP response to Fsk. Potentiation by PTH was also observed in Ca 4A cells. Pretreatment of SaOS-2 cells with pertussis toxin (100 ng/ml) for 12 h strikingly inhibited the initial cAMP response to Fsk, although Fsk-induced homologous desensitization was still clearly observed. Pretreatment with cholera toxin (1 microgram/ml) completely prevented Fsk-induced homologous desensitization. Combinations of maximal concentrations of Fsk plus hormones such as human PTH, human PTH-related peptide, or VIP elicited cAMP responses that were much more than additive, an effect not observed with combinations of hormones alone. We conclude that 1) Fsk-induced homologous desensitization of the AC response of SaOS-2 cells to a second challenge with Fsk is dependent upon activation of PKA; 2) one or more pertussis toxin-sensitive G-proteins contribute to full AC activation by Fsk, but are not involved in homologous desensitization; 3) augmentation by PTH (or VIP) pretreatment of Fsk-dependent AC activation involves an effector(s) other than PKA. These results provide further evidence that the regulation of AC responsiveness in SaOS-2 cells by PTH or VIP is complex and cannot be explained by activation of PKA alone.

Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), PTH, and epidermal growth factor (EGF) are potent regulators of osteoblast proliferation. In UMR 106-01 rat osteosarcoma cells with osteoblast-like features, PGE2 and PTH inhibit, while EGF stimulates, mitogenesis. Both PGE2 and PTH increase intracellular cAMP levels, cytosolic calcium, and inositol phosphate turnover. In a variety of cell types, EGF mediates its effects in part via activation of receptor protein-tyrosine kinase and other protein kinases, such as protein kinase-C. The nuclear mechanisms of PGE2, PTH, and EGF regulation of osteoblast proliferation are unknown. Accordingly, we have examined the effects of these agents on mitogenesis, second messenger generation, and primary response genes, which may link second messenger activation to subsequent alterations in gene expression. Northern blot analysis of mRNA from UMR 106-01 cells treated for 3 h with 2 microM PGE2, 10 nM PTH, or 10 ng/ml EGF in the presence of cycloheximide demonstrated that all three agents induced the expression of c-fos and c-jun mRNA. In contrast, only EGF stimulated cellular proliferation and induced Egr-1 mRNA. Also, unlike PGE2 and PTH, EGF did not increase intracellular cAMP levels. c-fos mRNA was induced by treatment with 50 ng/ml tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate or by 40 ng/ml forskolin, while induction of Egr-1 mRNA was stimulated by treatment with tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate, but not forskolin. Thus, EGF signal transduction differs from that of PGE2 and PTH in UMR 106-01 osteoblast-like cells, in that EGF does not stimulate the protein kinase-A second messenger system, but causes activation of Egr-1, a primary response gene that may play a role in the mitogenic effect of EGF.

Structural modifications of the amino-terminal region of PTH resulted in the generation of PTH analogs with potent antagonist activities and markedly reduced agonist activities. Further development of these structure-function relationships to modifications of the sequence of the PTH-related protein (PTHrP) resulted in PTH/PTHrP antagonist analogs with increased antagonist activity and little if any agonist effects. Since studies from our laboratory have shown that measurement of protein kinase-A activity appears to be a more sensitive index of the actions of PTH than measurements of total cAMP, the present studies were designed to examine the effects of a series of PTHrP-based peptides for agonist/antagonist effects in opossum kidney (OK) cells. The results show that PTHrP-(7-34)NH2, which does not increase cAMP, displays agonist activity in terms of increasing protein kinase-A activity. Furthermore, [Leu11,D-Trp12]PTHrP-(7-34)NH2 and [D-Trp12]PTHrP-(7-34)NH2, which appear to be effective antagonists of rat PTH-(1-34)-stimulated cAMP generation, were less effective in antagonizing the effects on protein kinase-A and only [Leu11,D-Trp12] PTHrP-(7-34)NH2 appeared to exhibit any antagonist activity. The Ki for [Leu11,D-Trp1/]PTHrP-(7-34)NH2 to antagonize the stimulatory effect of 1 nM rat PTH-(1-34) was easily demonstrable by measurements of cAMP, but could not be demonstrated using the assay of protein kinase-A activity. These data underscore the observation that measurement of protein kinase-A is a more sensitive index of the effects of PTH than measurements of cAMP and that significant agonist activity on the cAMP/protein kinase pathway cannot be excluded without measurements of protein kinase-A activity.

PTH is a major regulator of renal proximal tubule 1,25(OH)2D3 biosynthesis. However, the intracellular pathways involved in PTH activation of the mitochondrial 25-hydroxyvitamin D3-1 alpha-hydroxylase (1-OHase) remain unknown. PTH can activate both the adenylate cyclase/protein kinase A (PKA) and the plasma membrane phospholipase C/protein kinase C (PKC) pathways. The present study was undertaken to determine whether PKC may mediate PTH activation of renal 25-hydroxyvitamin D3-1 alpha-hydroxylase activity. Rat PTH 1-34 fragment in vitro translocated PKC activity from cytosolic to soluble membrane fraction from freshly prepared rat proximal tubules. Physiologic concentrations (10(-11)-10(-10) M) of rat PTH 1-34 fragment increased PKC translocation three- to fourfold while PKA activity ratio increased at PTH 10(-7) M. PTH stimulation of PKC and PKA was reduced in the presence of staurosporine (10 nM) by 41 and 29%, respectively. Sangivamycin (10 and 50 microM) also reduced PTH-stimulated PKC translocation, but did not alter PKA activity ratio. In vitro perifusion of renal proximal tubules with PTH (10(-11) M) increased 1,25(OH)2D3 steady-state secretion two- to fourfold. Sangivamycin at the same concentration that inhibited PKC translocation by 52% completely inhibited PTH-stimulated 1,25(OH)2D3 secretion. The present studies indicate that the phospholipase C/PKC pathway may mediate PTH stimulation of mammalian renal proximal tubule 1,25(OH)2D3 secretion.

In UMR-106 osteosarcoma cells we found that PTH activated both the cAMP/protein kinase A and the Ca(2+)-dependent phosphoinositide/protein kinase C (PKC) pathways, but prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) activated only the cAMP pathway. Activation of PKC by the phorbol ester PMA had no effect on cAMP production but enhanced PTH-stimulated cAMP production by 50% or more; the effect on PGE2-induced cAMP was negligible. Inhibition of the alpha-subunit of the inhibitory guanine nucleotide binding protein (Gi) by pertussis toxin pretreatment also enhanced PTH-mediated cAMP production but had no effect on PGE2-induced cAMP production. These results suggest that although PTH-mediated adenylate cyclase activity is regulated via both the stimulatory (Gs) and inhibitory (Gi) guanine nucleotide binding proteins, only Gs regulates PGE2-mediated adenylate cyclase activity in UMR-106 cells. Costimulation with pertussis toxin and PMA did not increase PTH-stimulated cAMP production above that obtained with PMA alone. This implies a similar target of action for pertussis toxin and PMA, that is, the alpha-subunit of Gi. The alpha-subunit of Gi was found to be a substrate for in vitro PKC phosphorylation of membrane fractions from UMR-106 cells, seen as a +/- 40 kD band on SDS-PAGE. Stimulation of in situ 32P-labeled cells with either PMA or PTH also enhanced incorporation of 32P into the 40 kD band. Using the peptide antisera AS/7 and EC/2, we showed that pertussis toxin-labeled subunits of both Gi1 alpha/Gi2 alpha and Gi3 alpha could be immunoprecipitated, respectively, but immunoprecipitation of membrane proteins after in situ phosphorylation and stimulation with PMA precipitated only Gi2 alpha.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

PTH receptors on osteoblasts and calcitonin receptors on osteoclasts are coupled to adenylate cyclase. Despite similar transduction mechanisms, these hormones have opposing physiological actions. We investigated the consequences of persistent protein phosphorylation on bone resorption in neonatal mouse calvariae using okadaic acid (OA) and calyculin-A, two inhibitors of protein phosphatase-1 and -2A. These two inhibitors caused different responses in bone at picomolar and low nanomolar concentrations. OA inhibited, in a dose-dependent manner, bone resorption stimulated by PTH, 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3, phorbol ester, and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). OA did not inhibit the generation of the second messengers cAMP or PGs and did not have nonspecific toxic effects, as measured by protein and RNA synthesis. Thus, OA appeared to mimic the global inhibitory action of calcitonin on bone resorption. Unlike OA, calyculin-A elicited a biphasic dose response. At concentrations of 3.3 nM and greater, calyculin-A inhibited, in a dose-dependent manner, stimulated bone resorption. However, calyculin-A alone, at 0.625 and 2.5 nM, stimulated bone resorption via a PG-independent pathway. In calvariae, OA and calyculin-A increased phosphorylation of a 58- to 60-kilodalton protein. A protein of similar molecular mass was hyperphosphorylated in OA-treated ROS 17/2.8 osteoblast-like cells. We conclude that in addition to hormonal regulation of protein kinase activity, protein dephosphorylation plays a functionally important role in the modulation of bone resorption.
