The rat osteosarcoma cell line UMR-106 has an osteoblast-like phenotype and possesses parathyroid hormone (PTH)-responsive dual signal transduction systems [adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate-dependent protein kinase (PKA) and calcium-protein kinase C (Ca-PKC)]. These cells transport inorganic phosphate (Pi) by a Na(+)-dependent carrier under stimulation by PTH. The present study aimed to clarify PTH-responsive signal transduction mechanisms in the regulation of Na(+)-dependent Pi transport by PTH in UMR-106 cells. Exposure of these cells to 10(-7) mol/l PTH induced a significant increase in Pi uptake within 30 min of incubation and it became maximal after 2 h. Parathyroid hormone (10(-9)-10(-7) mol/l) stimulated Pi uptake dose dependently. Activation of PKC by 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) also increased Pi uptake in time- and dose-dependent manners similar to PTH. In contrast, neither PKA activation by 10(-4) mol/l forskolin or by 10(-4) mol/l dibutyryladenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate nor calcium ionophore treatment with 10(-7) mol/l A23187 or with 10(-7) mol/l ionomycin during 3-h incubations affect Pi uptake, except its increase by 10(-4) mol/l forskolin at a 3-h incubation. These agents had no influence on Pi uptake even in combined treatments with TPA. The PTH-induced increase in Pi uptake was abolished almost completely by pretreating cells with PKC inhibitors, 1-(5-isoquinolinylsulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine dihydrochloride (H-7) (50 mumol/l) or staurosporin (10 and 50 nmol/l), and by down-regulating PKC with a prolonged TPA treatment.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) plays a central role in regulation of calcium metabolism. For example, excessive or inappropriate production of PTH or the related hormone, parathyroid hormone related protein (PTHrP), accounts for the majority of the causes of hypercalcemia. Both hormones act through the same receptor on the osteoblast to elicit enhanced bone resorption by the osteoclast. Thus, the osteoblast mediates the effect of PTH in the resorption process. In this process, PTH causes a change in the function and phenotype of the osteoblast from a cell involved in bone formation to one directing the process of bone resorption. In response to PTH, the osteoblast decreases collagen, alkaline phosphatase, and osteopontin expression and increases production of osteocalcin, cytokines, and neutral proteases. Many of these changes have been shown to be due to effects on mRNA abundance through either transcriptional or post-transcriptional mechanisms. However, the signal transduction pathway for the hormone to cause these changes is not completely elucidated in any case. Binding of PTH and PTHrP to their common receptor has been shown to result in activation of protein kinases A and C and increases in intracellular calcium. The latter has not been implicated in any changes in mRNA of osteoblastic genes. On the other hand activation of PKA can mimic all the effects of PTH; protein kinase C may be involved in some responses. We will discuss possible mechanisms linking PKA and PKC activation to changes in gene expression, particularly at the nuclear level.

Parathyroid hormone (PTH), an activator of both cAMP and phosphoinositide (PI) signaling in growth plate chondrocytes (GPCs), is generally believed to trigger each of these pathways through interactions with separate G proteins. Recently, however, activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (pkA) has been found to cause a stimulation of the PI cascade in hepatocytes. This finding raises the possibility that PTH stimulation of PI metabolism in GPCs may really be a secondary event, mediated through a primary stimulation of pkA. Experiments discussed in the present report indicate that the PTH stimulation of PI metabolism in GPCs is independent of pkA activity. The data show that (1) unlike the Ca2+ response evoked by PTH, the responses evoked by dibutyryl-cAMP or Sp diastereomer of cyclic adenosine-3',5'-monophosphothioate, two activators of pkA, require an extracellular Ca2+ source; (2) also unlike PTH, activation of pkA by these same cAMP analogs does not cause an increase in cellular inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate; and (3) specific inhibition of pkA with N-[2-(p-bromocinnamylamino)ethyl]-5-isoquinolinsulfanomide (H-89) or Rp diastereomer of cyclic adenosine-3',5'-monophosphothioate (Rp cAMPS) has no effect on the ability of PTH to evoke its normal Ca2+ response. Furthermore, data presented indicate that the PTH stimulation of GPC proliferation does not require Ca2+ signals, but rather is at least partially dependent on pkA. The data show that either loading the cells with the Ca2+ buffer bis-(o-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetracetic acid or depleting the cells of intracellularly stored Ca2+ is without effect on the stimulation of DNA synthesis by the hormone. Inhibition of pkA activity with H-89 or Rp-cAMPS, in contrast, leads to a significant reduction in the ability of PTH to stimulate its proliferative effect.

This editorial review focuses on recent observations regarding the mechanism and regulation of calcium transport in hormone-sensitive distal convoluted tubules. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcitonin increase active calcium absorption by distal convoluted tubules. Occupancy of these peptide hormone receptors results in the activation of both protein kinase A and protein kinase C. The inhibition of either kinase blocks calcium transport. The time course of stimulation of calcium entry in distal convoluted tubules by PTH is slow compared with that by calcitonin. The latency associated with PTH action may be due to the induction of protein synthesis. PTH and calcitonin hyperpolarize membrane voltage, which in turn increases calcium entry. Calcium entry is mediated by calcium channels. These channels exhibit a low, single-channel conductance and are sensitive to dihydropyridine-type calcium channel blockers. Unlike L-type calcium channels, the channel open probability of distal convoluted tubule calcium entry channels is increased upon hyperpolarization. This novel combination of properties suggests that the underlying structure of these calcium entry channels may be unique.

Rat tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2) was cloned from a UMR 106-01 rat osteoblastic osteosarcoma cDNA library. The 969-bp full-length clone demonstrates 98 and 86% sequence identity to human TIMP-2 at the amino acid and nucleic acid levels, respectively. Parathyroid hormone (PTH), at 10(-8) M, stimulates an approximately twofold increase in both the 4.2- and 1.0-kb transcripts over basal levels in UMR cells after 24 h of exposure. The PTH stimulation of TIMP-2 transcripts was not affected by the inhibitor of protein synthesis, cycloheximide (10(-5) M), suggesting a primary effect of the hormone. This is in contradistinction to regulation of interstitial collagenase (matrix metalloproteinase-1) by PTH in these same cells. Nuclear run-on assays demonstrate that PTH causes an increase in TIMP-2 transcription that parallels the increase in message levels. Parathyroid hormone, in its stimulation of TIMP-2 mRNA, appears to act through a signal transduction pathway involving protein kinase A (PKA) since the increase in TIMP-2 mRNA is reproduced by treatment with the cAMP analogue, 8-bromo-cAMP (5 x 10(-3) M). The protein kinase C and calcium pathways do not appear to be involved due to the lack of effect of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (2.6 x 10(-6) M) and the calcium ionophore, ionomycin (10(-7) M), on TIMP-2 transcript abundance. In this respect, regulation of TIMP-2 and collagenase in osteoblastic cells by PTH are similar. However, we conclude that since stimulation of TIMP-2 transcription is a primary event, the PKA pathway must be responsible for a direct increase in transcription of this gene.

The human fibroblast, "amiloride-sensitive" Na/H exchanger (NHE1) was transfected into opossum kidney cells (OK cells) (OK/NHE1 cells). Northern blot analysis confirmed that the NHE1 message is expressed in OK/NHE1 cells. In immunoblot analysis, an anti-human NHE1 antibody labelled a membrane protein only present in OK/NHE1 cells. In contrast to the parental cell line containing only an apically located, "amiloride-resistant" Na/H exchange activity, OK/NHE1 cells contain apically and basolaterally located Na/H exchange activities, the apical activity being "amiloride resistant" and the basolateral being "amiloride sensitive". Parathyroid hormone (PTH) inhibited apical transport activity (OK and OK/NHE1 cells) but had no effect on basolateral transport activity (OK/NHE1 cells). Pharmacological activation of protein kinase A (forskolin) decreased both apical and basolateral Na/H exchange activity. Incubation with phorbol ester (exogenous activation of protein kinase C) reduced apical Na/H exchange activity (OK and OK/NHE1 cells) but had only a moderate, inhibitory effect on basolateral Na/H exchange activity (OK/NHE1 cells). These results indicate that transfection of OK cells with human fibroblast NHE1 cDNA encoding an "amiloride-sensitive" form of the Na/H exchanger results in expression of basolaterally located "NHE1-related" transport activity. Regulatory control of intracellular Na/H exchange activities (apically versus basolaterally located) and intercellular Na/H exchange activities (NHE1-related) differs. This may relate to cell-specific properties as well as to exchanger-specific properties.

Parathyroid hormone (PTH)-mediated gene activation was assessed in the osteoblast-like rat cell line ROS17/2.8 with two PTH fragments harboring distinct activating domains: PTH-(1-34) and PTH-(28-48). The PTH response of genes expressed immediate early in the cell cycle or in the osteoblast developmental sequence was investigated. In addition, subtractive cloning was used to identify genes in ROS17/2.8 cells that are activated by the two PTH domains. PTH-(1-34) immediately increased the transcript levels of c-fos and c-jun at a considerably higher rate than PTH-(28-48). A significant immediate PTH effect on osteoblastic marker genes could not be detected, with the exception of elevated ornithine decarboxylase transcript levels. However, continuous application of PTH-(1-34) increased transcript levels of the osteoblast-specific osteocalcin gene and reduced those of other osteoblastic marker genes including alkaline phosphatase and the PTH/PTH-related peptide receptor. By subtractive cloning, nine cDNAs were isolated corresponding to mRNAs directly up-regulated by PTH-(1-34) or PTH-(28-48). Among these were a cyclic phosphodiesterase, a (cytosine 5)-methyltransferase, an 80-kDa protein kinase C substrate, junB, and a novel GC-binding protein. Three cDNAs are unknown at present. Interestingly, in all cases, the efficiency of gene activation by PTH-(28-48) was substantially lower in comparison with PTH-(1-34). PTH-mediated protein kinase C signaling in ROS17/2.8 cells may therefore constitute a minor pathway in comparison with the dominant cAMP/protein kinase A cascade.

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) induces a rise in cytosolic calcium--[Ca2+]i--in many cells. A rise in [Ca2+]i activates the Na(+)-H+ antiport, but PTH inhibits the Na(+)-H+ exchanger in kidney cells. Since PTH induces a rise in [Ca2+]i of hepatocytes, we examined the effect of PTH on their Na(+)-H+ antiport and intracellular pH(pHi). PTH caused an initial activation of Na(+)-H+ exchanger, and this stimulation is amiloride sensitive. The activation of the Na(+)-H+ exchanger was followed by progressive inhibition. This inhibitory effect was dose dependent and occurred over a wide range of external sodium concentrations. PTH also caused a progressive rise in hepatocyte pHi which became apparent after the initial activation of the Na(+)-H+ antiport. This alkalinization of hepatocytes occurred when the cells were placed in sodium or potassium media. These actions of PTH were mimicked by dibutyryl cyclic AMP and 12-o-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate(TPA) and were abolished by H-89 (an inhibitor of protein kinase A), staurosporine (an inhibitor of protein kinase C), and the calcium channel blockers verapamil or nifedipine. The data are consistent with the formulation that PTH, through the activation of the cAMP-protein kinase A pathway, protein kinase C, and calcium channels inhibitable by verapamil or nifedipine, induces a rise in [Ca2+]i of hepatocytes. The latter event causes an initial activation of Na(+)-H+ antiport which is followed by a rise in pHi. Also, PTH may facilitate a Ca2+/2H+ exchange across the hepatocyte membrane and causes an initial and persistent rise in pHi, since the rise in pHi occurred under conditions where Na(+)-H+ antiport is inactive (potassium media). In addition, PTH either directly or through activation of second messenger(s) leads to an increased ammonia content of hepatocytes which could maintain a high pHi. Consequently, the Na(+)-H+ antiport is inhibited in an effort to restore the pHi back to normal.

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) mobilises calcium in the hepatocyte, an effect which is abolished by verapamil and staurosporine. In our study parathyroid hormone was shown to act additively to dHGF in inducing hepatocyte DNA synthesis. It is also shown that PTH induced the production of inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate (IP3) and c-fos expression at early times in culture. Co-incubation of PTH and dHGF with a c-fos antisense oligodeoxynucleotide inhibited hepatocyte DNA synthesis, indicating that the additive effect of PTH is correlated with the induction of c-fos. H-89, a PKA specific inhibitor, inhibited the PTH effect on IP3 production as well as the PTH effect on hepatocyte DNA synthesis. Verapamil and staurosporine also inhibited the PTH effect in dHGF-induced DNA synthesis. Therefore it is suggested that PKA mediated at a great extent the co-stimulatory effects of PTH on hepatocyte proliferation via IP3 production.

Bone sialoprotein is a major noncollagenous protein of bone. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) was shown to cause a 2-4-fold increase in the steady-state levels of bone sialoprotein mRNAs within primary cultures of embryonic osteoblasts. The induction could be mimicked by both forskolin and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate and was not inhibited by cycloheximide. Transient expression of a approximately 1200-base pair avian 5' bsp promoter/reporter construct demonstrated similar inductions as mRNA levels. Co-transfection of an expression plasmid encoding heat-stable inhibitor of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, a peptide inhibitor of PKA, decreased both the basal and PTH-induced bsp transcription, while co-expression of the catalytic subunit of PKA-induced bsp expression 3-fold. Protein kinase C activation, on the other hand, did not appear to work through its activation of c-fos, since co-transfection of an expression clone for c-fos had no effect. Interestingly, heat-stable inhibitor of cAMP-dependent protein kinase also inhibited the phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate induction, suggesting that the protein kinase C acts through some form of interaction with the cAMP/PKA pathway. A half-cAMP response element site in the bsp promoter was identified as the cis-acting element that mediated the PTH response by the transient transfections with reporter constructs containing nested deletions of the promoter or a heterologous promoter containing the cAMP response element. In conclusion, these data indicate that PTH stimulation of bsp gene expression is specific to osteoblasts and mediated by changing cellular cAMP/PKA levels. They further suggest that although protein kinase C is capable of stimulating the gene by itself, it plays a minimal role in mediating the PTH induction of bone sialoprotein.
