The present study was performed to compare the effect of parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) on the proliferation of osteoblastic osteosarcoma cells (UMR-106) with that of PTH and characterize the direct involvement of cAMP in the change of osteoblast proliferation by PTHrP. Human(h)PTHrP-(1-34) (10(-11)-10(-7)M) dose-dependently inhibited [3H]thymidine incorporation (TdR) in the same manner as hPTH-(1-34). The simultaneous addition of PTHrP and PTH at a maximal effective dose of 10(-7) M did not cause additive suppressive effect on cell proliferation. Rp-cAMPs, which has been recently shown to act directly as antagonist in the activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), dose-dependently (10(-6)-10(-4)M) antagonized PTHrP-induced suppression of TdR in the same manner as PTH. Present study indicated that PTHrP has the same effect on osteoblast proliferation as PTH and that the activation of PKA is directly linked to the change of osteoblast proliferation by PTHrP.

Glucocorticoids increase and 1,25-dihydoxyvitamin D3 [1,25-(OH)2D3] decreases the activity of PTH-responsive adenylate cyclase, altering intracellular cAMP in a rat osteoblast-like cell line (ROS 17/2.8). This study was undertaken to measure the subsequent activation of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). Pretreatment of ROS cells for 2 days with the glucocorticoid triamcinolone acetonide (TRM), shifted the dose-response curve for PKA activation by PTH upward compared to the control value. Basal PKA activity was enhanced 50% by TRM, and the PTH concentration required for maximal activation of PKA decreased from 1.0 to 0.05 ng/ml. At the lowest effective PTH concentration (0.05 ng/ml) the mean PKA activity ratio increased to 0.73 in TRM-treated cells compared with 0.45 in untreated cells. Pretreatment with 1,25-(OH)2D3 had opposite effects, shifting the dose-response curve for PKA activation by PTH downward and to the right, decreasing the basal activity ratio from 0.26 to 0.16, and increasing the PTH concentration required for maximal activation to 10 ng/ml. 1,25-(OH)2D3-treated cells stimulated with 0.5-1 ng/ml PTH consistently had lower PKA activity ratios than untreated cells. Simultaneous treatment with 1,25-(OH)2D3 reversed the effect of TRM. There were no differences in total PKA activity (2.57 +/- 0.09 pmol 32P/min.micrograms protein) between treatment groups, suggesting that TRM and 1,25-(OH)2D3 do not alter the cellular PKA concentration. In control experiments exogenous PKA was added to sonication buffer of PTH-stimulated cells to verify that the TRM and 1,25-(OH)2D3 shifts in PKA activation at low PTH doses occur before sonication. cAMP-dependent protein kinase activation was also studied by measuring the progressive occupation of regulatory subunit-binding sites by hormonally stimulated endogenous cAMP. [3H] cAMP binding was expressed as the percent change in bound [3H]cAMP per microgram protein compared to that in unstimulated cells not steroid treated. [3H]cAMP binding to all cytosol fractions decreased as PTH increased over the concentration range predicted by our PKA activation experiments. TRM treatment shifted the curve for [3H]cAMP binding to regulatory subunit downward and to the left, and 1,25-(OH)2D3 treatment shifted it upward and to the right. In cells treated with both TRM and 1,25-(OH)2D3, the curve was similar to control curve. Sonicating unstimulated cells in buffer containing comparable concentrations of added cAMP did not alter [3H]cAMP binding. These and the previous controls suggest that changes in PKA activation at low doses of PKA reflect cellular events occurring before cell disruption.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

PTH activates multiple acute intracellular signals within responsive target cells, but the importance of cAMP vs. other second messenger signals in mediating different biological responses to PTH is not known. To address these questions, we developed a genetic approach to block activation of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PK-A) in PTH-responsive cell lines. Clonal rat osteosarcoma cells (UMR 106-01) were stably transfected with REV-I, a plasmid that directs synthesis of a mutant cAMP-resistant form of the type I regulatory subunit of PK-A. In the transfected bone cells, most of the catalytic subunits of PK-A were associated with the mutant regulatory subunit, and activation of PK-A by cAMP was correspondingly inhibited. We have characterized one such mutant (UMR 4-7) that expressed large amounts of mutant mRNA and exhibited inducible blockade of PK-A via the REV-1 metallothionein promoter. In the absence of metallothionein induction, these cells exhibited nearly normal PTH responsiveness, but after REV-1 induction by Zn2+, they were resistant to PTH-induced activation of PK-A and regulation of membrane phospholipid synthesis by both PTH and cAMP analogs. The mutant UMR 4-7 cell provides a model system in which the consequences of cAMP production by PTH or other agonists that activate adenylate cyclase in osteoblasts may be specifically inhibited by brief exposure to Zn2+. Such mutant cell lines will facilitate further investigation of the linkage between early signalling events and subsequent biological responses in the action of PTH and other agonists on target cells in bone.

PTH binds to specific receptors that are coupled to adenylate cyclase and activate cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Since it has been shown that PTH activates phospholipid inositol metabolism, we investigated whether PTH influences protein kinase-C (PKC) activity in rat osteosarcoma (ROS) cells 17/2.8 that contain a large number of PTH receptor. Incubation of ROS cells with PTH or phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) for 1-30 min caused a rapid and transient decrease in PKC activity in the cytosol, which was associated with a transient increase in PKC activity in the membrane fraction. After 1, 5, 15, and 30 min of incubation with PTH, cytosolic PKC activity decreased to 57%, 74%, 84%, and 93% of the control value, whereas membrane PKC activity increased to 156%, 122%, 111%, and 106% of the control value, respectively. After PMA treatment for 1, 5, 15, and 30 min, cytosolic PKC activity decreased by 81%, 74%, 63%, and 44%, whereas membrane-bound PKC activity increased by 83%, 44%, 28%, and 17%, respectively. The effects of PTH and PMA on PKC were dose dependent, with ED50 values of 0.3 nM PTH and 4 nM PMA. Chronic treatment of ROS cells for 3 days with PMA caused depletion of total PKC activity in cytosolic and membrane fractions to less than 10% of that in control cells. Conversely, chronic treatment of ROS cells with PTH did not deplete PKC. In addition, chronic treatment of ROS cells with PTH inhibited the responsiveness of PKC activity to subsequent acute PTH challenge, but not to acute PMA challenge, suggesting specific desensitization of this response by PTH. Activation of cytosolic PKC by diolein, phosphatidylserine, and calcium caused phosphorylation of many cytosolic proteins, including those having apparent mol wt of 39K, 35K, 33K, 25K, 19K, and 16K. Pretreatment of ROS cells with PTH resulted in a transient decrease in the phosphorylation of these cytosolic proteins by PKC. This decrease in cytosolic protein phosphorylation by treatment with PTH is temporally associated with PTH-stimulated translocation of PKC activity from the cytosol to the membranes. These data suggest a potential role for PKC in the mechanism of action of PTH in ROS cells.

Current evidence indicates that signal transduction after receptor binding of PTH involves the stimulation of adenylate cyclase as well as stimulation of phosphoinositide metabolism. Recent studies, showing that PTH alters phosphate transport in opossum kidney cells at concentrations which do not increase cAMP production and that activators of protein kinase-C also alter phosphate transport, have led to the suggestion that there is a dual mechanism for the regulation of phosphate transport by PTH, namely, protein kinase-C at physiological levels of PTH and cAMP at higher levels of PTH. The present studies were designed to evaluate the relationship between cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PK-A), a more sensitive indicator of alterations in cAMP metabolism than measurements of total cellular cAMP, and phosphate transport in opossum kidney cells, in response to bovine (b)PTH 1-34 and [Nle8,Nle18,Tyr34]bPTH 3-34 amide. While bPTH 1-34 markedly stimulated cAMP accumulation (half-maximal stimulation between 1 and 10 nM), PTH 3-34 analog did not. Phosphate transport was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner by bPTH 1-34, with half-maximal effect occurring between 0.1 and 1 nM. [Nle8,Nle18,Tyr34]bPTH 3-34 amide also altered phosphate transport, although this peptide was 3 orders of magnitude less potent than bPTH 1-34. PK-A activity increased in response to bPTH 1-34 and correlated closely with the effects of PTH on phosphate transport. [Nle8,Nle18,Tyr34]bPTH 3-34 amide, which did not appear to increase cAMP, also resulted in a significant increase in the activity of PK-A. Studies of inhibition of cAMP accumulation using 2',5'-dideoxyadenosine demonstrated that while this agent markedly inhibited the accumulation of cAMP in response to PTH, the effects of PTH on phosphate transport were not altered. However, in spite of the reduction in cAMP the activation of PK-A was similar to control. These data indicate that the effects of PTH peptides on phosphate transport are more closely related to changes in the activity of PK-A than to levels of total cAMP. Activation of PK-A in response to PTH is demonstrable at the lowest doses of PTH that alter phosphate transport.

Glucocorticoid increases and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25-(OH)2D3] decreases PTH activation of adenylate cyclase and cAMP-dependent protein kinase in rat osteosarcoma cells (ROS 17/2.8). Since selective cAMP-dependent protein kinase isoenzyme activation may account for specific physiological hormonal responses, we investigated steroid effects on activation of isoenzymes I and II in response to PTH using a new ion exchange separation procedure. Pretreatment of cells for 2 days with the glucocorticoid triamcinolone acetonide (TRM) or 1,25-(OH)2D3 altered the degree of cAMP-dependent protein kinase isoenzyme activation by PTH in accordance with their modulation of intracellular cAMP accumulation, but did not alter the amount of each isoenzyme present or the order in which isoenzymes I and II were activated. In all treatment groups isoenzyme I was preferentially activated by low doses of PTH, while high concentrations activated both isoenzymes, as predicted by the relative affinities of each isoenzyme for cAMP. Glucocorticoid reduced the concentration of bovine PTH-(1-34) required for maximal activation of isoenzyme I from 1 to 0.05 ng/ml and that required for activation of isoenzyme II from 10 to 1 ng/ml. This effect was abolished by simultaneous treatment of cells with 1,25-(OH)2D3. At doses of PTH that caused partial activation (0.05-0.1 ng/ml for isoenzyme I; 1 ng/ml for isoenzyme II), 1,25-(OH)2D3 treatment attenuated this activation. In all groups both isoenzymes were fully activated by 100 ng/ml PTH. Control experiments demonstrated that isoenzyme activation is not a result of cell disruption over the range of PTH doses that regulation by steroid hormone was observed. These results extend our studies on modulation of the cAMP pathway by steroid hormones and make it feasible to correlate selective isoenzyme activation with specific responses to PTH.

The endogenous inhibitor of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKI) in chick kidney is regulated by the vitamin D status of the animal. To determine the specific factors that are involved in the regulation of chick kidney PKI, chicks were raised on a low (0.05%), normal (1%), or high (3%) calcium diet and given vitamin D3 or vehicle three times a week orally. The results from this experimental protocol show that vitamin D3 or one or more of its metabolites and serum calcium levels are both involved in the regulation of chick kidney PKI in vivo. Measurement of PKI activity in primary cultures of chick kidney cells revealed treatment with 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25-(OH)2D3) led to a 90-95% decrease in PKI activity. This effect of 1,25-(OH)2D3 was dose dependent, and neither PTH nor insulin was able to reverse it completely. Treatment with PTH caused 30-60% increase in PKI activity, and cell cultures that were grown in medium containing either 0.5 or 2 mM calcium chloride had similar PKI activities. Taken together, these results indicate that 1,25-(OH)2D3, the most physiologically active form of vitamin D3, is the predominant regulator of PKI, but serum calcium, indirectly through the regulation of PTH secretion, is also involved.

While protein kinase C (PKC) appears to play a role in the action of PTH in renal cells, direct evidence of activation by PTH is lacking. Rat PTH (1-34) caused a rapid, transient translocation of PKC in opossum kidney (OK) cells from a basal value of 0.09 to maximum of 0.24 at 10-15 sec. Both the time course and dose-response relationship of translocation matched a corresponding increase in cytosolic Ca2+. In contrast, PTH activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), while also rapid, was greater in magnitude (0.10 to 0.50), persistent, and occurred at a threshold level of 3 x 10(-10)M PTH, compared to 10(-8)M for PKC. Neither bPTH(3-34) nor bPTH(7-34) activated either protein kinase, while both antagonized rPTH(1-34)-induced PKC translocation more effectively than PKA activation. These differential effects of PTH agonist and antagonists further support the suggestion that PTH acts through two signal transduction mechanisms in which one or more receptors is linked in distinct ways to adenylate cyclase and phospholipase C.

Late passage cultures of a clonal osteogenic sarcoma line (ROS 17/2.8) failed to respond to PTH with activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase isoenzymes despite showing a sensitive and dose-dependent increase in cAMP after treatment with the hormone. When cells were treated with hydrocortisone or dexamethasone, protein kinase responsiveness to PTH was readily demonstrated; such treatment also resulted in enhanced cAMP production. Forskolin preincubation resulted in a cAMP response to PTH of similar magnitude to that seen with hydrocortisone but no activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase occurred. Thus, the effect of glucocorticoid cannot be explained merely by the increased amplitude and sensitivity of the cAMP response which developed with glucocorticoid treatment in these cells. The data indicate that cellular activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase does not automatically follow cAMP generation and that information transfer can be restored by pharmacological means.

Recombinant rat (Ra) and murine (Mu) immune interferons (IFN-gamma) were found to be phosphorylated by bovine heart muscle cAMP-dependent protein kinase at a single site, in contrast to human (Hu) IFN-gamma, which was reported to be phosphorylated at two different serine residues. Chromatography of a Staphylococcal aureus V8 protease digest of Ra or MuIFN-gamma indicated that the site of phosphorylation was in the carboxy-terminal undecamer fragment of the protein. Due to inherent problems in measuring both phenylthiohydantoin-serine (PTH-serine) and PTH-phosphoserine with an automated sequenator, a novel approach, involving partial Edman degradation of aliquots of the peptide followed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis, was developed. It was determined that Ser132 is the exclusive site of phosphorylation for both IFNs.
