Parathyroid hormone (PTH)-related protein (PTHrP) seems to affect bone resorption by interaction with bone cytokines, among them interleukin-6 (IL-6). Recent studies suggest that nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB activation has an important role in bone resorption. We assessed whether the N-terminal fragment of PTHrP, and its C-terminal region, unrelated to PTH, can activate NF-kappaB, and its relationship with IL-6 gene induction in different rat and human osteoblastic cell preparations. Here we present molecular data demonstrating that both PTHrP (1-36) and PTHrP (107-139) activate NF-kappaB, leading to an increase in IL-6 mRNA, in these cells. Using anti-p65 and anti-p50 antibodies, we detected the presence of both proteins in the activated NF-kappaB complex. This effect induced by either the N- or C-terminal PTHrP domain in osteoblastic cells appears to occur by different intracellular mechanisms, involving protein kinase A or intracellular Ca(2+)/protein kinase C activation, respectively. However, the effect of each peptide alone did not increase further when added together. Our findings lend support to the hypothesis that the C-terminal domain of PTHrP, in a manner similar to its N-terminal fragment, might stimulate bone resorption. These studies also provide further insights into the putative role of PTHrP as a modulator of bone remodeling.

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) stimulates receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand (RANKL) mRNA and inhibits osteoprotegerin (OPG) mRNA expression in murine bone marrow cultures. To understand the mechanisms influencing these responses, we investigated the role of the protein kinase A (PKA) and protein kinase C (PKC) pathways in the regulation of RANKL and OPG mRNA expression in murine bone marrow cultures. Murine bone marrow cells were stimulated with bovine PTH(1-34) and (1-34) amide, which activate both pathways; PTH(3-34), which more selectively activates the PKC and calcium pathways; and human PTH (1-31), which stimulates adenylyl cyclase, but not protein kinase C. We also examined agents that more directly activate either the PKA pathway (forskolin [FSK] and 8-bromo cAMP [8-Br-cAMP]) or the PKC pathway (phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate [PMA]) in murine bone marrow cultures. After 1 h, RANKL mRNA expression was stimulated to a similar degree by agents that activate either or both the PKA and PKC pathways. However, this effect was sustained for 24 h only with agents that stimulated PKA. OPG mRNA expression was inhibited by all agents that stimulated PKA at 6 h. In contrast, PKC-specific stimulators [PMA and bPTH(3-34)] had no effect on OPG regulation in this culture system. To determine the involvement of the PKC signaling pathway in responses of RANKL, bone marrow cells were pretreated with PMA for 24 h and then treated with PTH(1-34) or FSK for 2 h. PMA pretreatment did not alter the ability of PTH or FSK to stimulate RANKL or inhibit OPG mRNA expression. Treatment of cells with H-89, a PKA inhibitor, significantly reduced the ability of PTH and FSK to induce RANKL and inhibit OPG mRNA expression. Calphostin C, a PKC inhibitor, significantly reduced PMA-stimulated RANKL mRNA expression without altering PTH- or FSK-mediated effects on RANKL or OPG mRNA. Cycloheximide, an inhibitor for protein synthesis, inhibited PTH-stimulated RANKL mRNA expression by 60% without altering the effect of PTH on OPG mRNA expression. To examine the involvement of prostaglandin in PMA-mediated responses, cells were treated with indomethacin, a nonspecific prostaglandin G/H synthase (PGHS) inhibitor, or NS-398, a selective inhibitor of PGHS-2. Neither PGHS inhibitor altered PMA-induced effects on RANKL and OPG mRNA expression. These results demonstrate that the PKA pathway is predominantly involved in the effects of PTH on RANKL mRNA expression in murine bone marrow cultures, but there is also a PKC-mediated response, which is not sustained. Inhibition of OPG by PTH appears to be a selective PKA response.

Angiogenesis is a highly regulated process that results from the sequential actions of naturally occurring stimulators and inhibitors. Here, we show that parathyroid hormone-related peptide, a peptide hormone derived from normal and tumor cells that regulates bone metabolism and vascular tone, is a naturally occurring angiogenesis inhibitor. Parathyroid hormone-related peptide or a ten-amino-acid peptide from its N terminus inhibits endothelial cell migration in vitro and angiogenesis in vivo by activating endothelial cell protein kinase A. Activation of protein kinase A inhibits cell migration and angiogenesis by inhibiting the small GTPase Rac. In contrast, inhibition of protein kinase A reverses the anti-migratory and anti-angiogenic properties of parathyroid hormone-related peptide. These studies show that parathyroid hormone-related peptide is a naturally occurring angiogenesis inhibitor that functions by activation of protein kinase A.

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) or activators of protein kinase A (PKA) up-regulate the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and augment the induction by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) of the expression of target genes (24-hydroxylase and osteopontin) in osteoblastic cells. To understand regulatory mechanisms involved, we asked whether the inducible cAMP early repressor (ICER), which serves as a dominant negative regulator of cAMP-induced transcription in other endocrine systems, may similarly play a role in modulation of vitamin D hormone action. In this study we demonstrate that PTH or 8-bromo-cAMP rapidly induces ICER mRNA and protein in osteoblastic cells. In UMR 106 osteoblastic cells transfected with an expression vector containing the ICER II-gamma coding sequence, cAMP or PTH enhancement of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3)-induced osteopontin and 24-hydroxylase mRNA and transcription is inhibited. The vitamin D response element is sufficient for the PKA enhancement of VDR-mediated transcription and is also sufficient to observe the inhibitory effect of ICER. Our data indicate that the mechanism of the inhibitory effect of ICER involves an inhibition of PKA-induced VDR transcription, and this inhibition may be mediated in part by binding of ICER to a cAMP response element-like sequence in the VDR promoter. This study provides evidence for the first time that ICER has a key regulatory role in the PKA enhancement of VDR transcription and therefore in the cross-talk between the PKA signaling pathway and the vitamin D endocrine system.

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is a major regulator of osteoclast formation and activation, effects that are associated with reciprocal up- and down-regulation of RANKL and osteoprotegerin (OPG), respectively. The roles of specific downstream signals generated by the activated PTH/PTH-related protein (PTHrP) receptor (PTH1R), such as cyclic adenosine monophosphate/protein kinase A (cAMP/PKA) and phospholipase C/protein kinase C (PLC/PKC), in controlling RANKL and OPG expression and osteoclastogenesis remain uncertain. In MS1 conditionally transformed clonal murine marrow stromal cells, which support PTH-induced osteoclast formation from cocultured normal spleen cells, PTH(1-34) increased RANKL and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) mRNA expression and decreased that of OPG when present continuously for 7-20 days at 37 degrees C in the presence of dexamethasone (Dex). In cells precultured for 7 days and then treated with PTH(1-34), similar reciprocal regulation of RANKL and OPG occurred, maximally at 6-24 h, that was of greater amplitude than the changes induced by chronic (7-10 days) PTH exposure. These acute effects of PTH(1-34) were mimicked by PKA stimulators (8-bromoadenosine [8Br]-cAMP or forskolin [FSK]), blocked by the PKA inhibitor Rp-cAMPs but unaffected by the PKC inhibitor GF109203X. Amino-truncated PTH(1-34) analogs PTH(5-34) and PTH(7-34) neither increased cAMP production in MS1 cells nor regulated RANKL or OPG mRNA. Reciprocal RANKL/OPG mRNA regulation was induced in MS1 cells by PTH(3-34) but only at high concentrations that also increased cAMP. The highly PKA-selective PTH analog [Gly1,Arg19]human PTH(1-28) exerted effects similar to PTH(1-34) on RANKL and OPG mRNAs and on osteoclast formation, both in MS1/spleen cell cocultures and in normal murine bone marrow cultures. The direct PKC stimulator 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (PMA) did not induce RANKL mRNA in MS1 cells, but it did up-regulate OPG mRNA and also antagonized osteoclast formation induced by PTH(1-34) in both MS1/spleen cocultures and normal bone marrow cultures. Thus, cAMP/PKA signaling via the PTH1R is the primary mechanism for controlling RANKL-dependent osteoclastogenesis, although direct PKC activation may negatively regulate this effect of PTH by inducing expression of OPG.

The article summarizes some of the recent developments in the understanding of the mechanisms of regulation of the proximal tubule apical membrane Na+/H+ antiporter NHE3. NHE3 antiporter has a major role in HCO3- and NaCl reabsorption in the proximal tubule. NHE3 protein is associated with the regulatory factor NHERF which interacts with ezrin, an actin-binding protein. This multi-protein complex constitutes a link between a membrane protein, NHE3, and actin cytoskeleton. Cytoskeleton organization has a key role to control NHE3 activity under normal conditions. Pharmacological perturbations of actin polymerization interfere with NHE3 activity. Parathyroid hormone-induced NHE3 activity inhibition results first, from a protein kinase A-mediated phosphorylation without protein trafficking, and then from endocytosis involving dynamin. The stimulatory effect of systemic angiotensin II concentrations on NHE3 activity is protein kinase C-dependent and results, at least in part, from exocytic insertion of the protein in luminal membranes. It requires cytoskeleton integrity.

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) stimulates osteoclast formation by binding to its receptor on stromal/osteoblastic cells and stimulating the production of receptor activator of NFkappaB ligand (RANKL) and inhibiting the expression of osteoprotegerin (OPG). However, the mechanisms through which PTH regulates these genes remain unknown. Here we report that PTH stimulated RANKL gene transcription and increased RANKL mRNA stability in murine stromal/osteoblastic cells stably expressing human PTH/PTH-related protein receptor 1. PTH also potently suppressed OPG mRNA in these cells. Cycloheximide did not block the effects of PTH on RANKL but did inhibit the suppression of OPG mRNA. Activation of protein kinase A (PKA) was necessary and sufficient for the effect of PTH on both genes. Conditional expression of a dominant-negative form of the transcription factor CREB, but not c-fos or Runx2, significantly reduced PTH stimulation of RANKL. CREB activity was also required for full stimulation of RANKL by oncostatin M or 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3). Dominant-negative forms of CREB and c-fos reduced the suppression of OPG by PTH. These results demonstrate that PTH directly stimulates RANKL expression via a PKA-CREB pathway and that CREB may be a central regulator of RANKL expression. Furthermore, they suggest that PTH suppression of OPG involves CREB and c-fos.

Parathyroid hormone inhibits sodium-phosphate cotransport in proximal renal tubule cells through activation of several kinases. We tested the hypothesis that the activity of these kinases was coordinated by an A kinase anchoring protein (AKAP) by demonstrating that the type II sodium-phosphate cotransporter (NaPi-4) physically associated with an AKAP and that this association was necessary for regulation of phosphate transport by parathyroid hormone. Immunoprecipitation with anti-NaPi-4 antiserum and glutathione S-transferase pull-down with GST-NaPi-4 showed that NaPi-4 associated with AKAP79, protein kinase A catalytic and regulatory subunits, and the parathyroid hormone receptor in opossum kidney cells. When the regulatory subunit of protein kinase A was uncoupled from the AKAP by a competing peptide, parathyroid hormone lost the ability to inhibit phosphate transport. This result was confirmed by co-transfecting HEK293 cells with the sodium-phosphate cotransporter and wild type AKAP, a mutant AKAP79, or the empty vector. 8-Bromo-cAMP was able to inhibit phosphate transport in cells expressing the wild type AKAP79 but not empty vector or mutant AKAP79. We conclude that parathyroid hormone inhibits proximal renal tubule sodium-phosphate cotransport through a signaling complex dependent upon an AKAP.

Parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP) receptors, coupled to trimeric G proteins, operate in most target cells through at least three different transduction routes: Galpha s-mediated stimulation of adenylylcyclase (AC), Galpha q-mediated activation of phospholipase Cbeta (PLC) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation. In this study we investigated the relative role of different pathways in human skin fibroblast proliferation. Using chemical inhibitors and activators of signal transduction, we demonstrated that: (i) AC/cAMP and PLC/1,4,5 inositol triphosphate/diacylglycerol second-messenger systems are simultaneously activated following PTHrP binding to its receptors; (ii) the mitogenic response to PTHrP derives from a balance between two counteracting pathways--an activating route mediated by protein kinase C (PKC) and an inhibitory route mediated by protein kinase A (PKA); (iii) PTHrP mitogenic effects are largely dependent on MAPKs, whose activity can be modulated by both PKA and PKC. Our results indicate that MAPKs are common targets of both transduction routes and, at the same time, their point of divergence in mediating PTHrP dual and opposite mitogenic effects.

Growth factors, hormones, and matrix proteins regulate osteoblast proliferation and differentiation, acting through cognate receptors. Since each of the receptors are coupled to a variety of distinct signal transduction pathways, in this report we evaluated whether there is a common convergent intermediate step that allows cross-talk among the various pathways. Since extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (Erk1/2) play a role in mitogenesis and differentiation processes, we evaluated the effects of various osteotrophic factors on Erk1/2 phosphorylation in osteoblasts. Osteoblasts isolated from the metaphyseal marrow (MM) and diaphyseal marrow (DM) of 4-6 week old male rat longitudinal bones were grown to confluency and Erk1/2-phosphorylation was evaluated using antibodies that recognized either the total or the phosphorylated form of the kinase. There was very little Erk1/2 phosphorylation in cells kept in suspension. Both MM and DM cells attached to fibronectin (FN), demonstrated Erk1/2 phosphorylation that persisted for at least up to 8h. Platelet-derived growth factor AB (PDGF-AB) induced a transient and robust Erk1/2 phosphorylation that was attenuated by 2h. Studies with specific inhibitors indicated that the effects of these factors were mediated by protein kinase C, by receptor tyrosine kinase, as well as by protein phosphatases. Parathyroid hormone (PTH 1-34), a bone anabolic agent however, caused a down-regulation of FN stimulated Erk1/2 phosphorylation in MM derived cells. The inhibitory effect of PTH was mediated through cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) activation. The data collectively suggest that a combination of diverse extracellular stimuli regulates Erk1/2 phosphorylation that may ultimately influence osteoblast proliferation and/or differentiation.
