Effects of the protein kinase C activating phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol 13-acetate and the inhibitor 1-(5-isoquinolinyl-sulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine (H-7) on parathyroid hormone (PTH) release were studied in normal bovine and pathological human parathyroid cells. An increase of extracellular Ca2+ from 0.5 to 3.0 mmol/l inhibited PTH release by 60% in the bovine cells with half maximal effect (ED50) at 1.31 mmol/l. This inhibition reached less than 50% in the cells from patients with primary and uremic hyperparathyroidism, and the ED50 values were 1.49 and 1.42 mmol/l, respectively. The phorbol ester (0.1 mumol/l) made secretion insensitive to changes of extracellular Ca2+, an action counteracted by H-7 (50 mumol/l) in the bovine cells, whereas H-7 alone had no effects. The phorbol ester and H-7 had opposite actions on regulation of PTH release also from cells from patients with hyperparathyroidism. However, in pathological cells H-7 alone improved Ca2+ inhibition of secretion by stimulating release in low Ca2+ concentrations and decreasing the ED50 values. The magnitude of changes in ED50 values by H-7 increased with the severity of the secretory disturbance of the pathological cells. The results indicate that increased protein kinase C activity may be a factor of importance in the pathophysiology of hyperparathyroidism.

The effect of prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) was investigated in MC3T3E1 cells on the succeeding cAMP response to parathyroid hormone (PTH). PGF2 alpha increased the membrane-associated protein kinase C (PKC) activity, indicating the activation of this enzyme. The effect of PTH to increase cAMP production was enhanced by pretreatment with PGF2 alpha. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate also enhanced cAMP production stimulated by PTH, and PKC inhibitor H7 attenuated the enhancement of PGF2 alpha. A23187 did not reproduce the PGF2 alpha effect, and this effect was not antagonized by the calmodulin antagonist W7. PGF2 alpha did not change the ED50 nor the maximally responsive dose of PTH in stimulating cAMP production. The effect of PGF2 alpha was not affected by pertussis toxin, and PGF2 alpha also enhanced cholera toxin- or forskolin-stimulated cAMP production. In accordance with the response of cAMP to PTH, the resorption of mouse limb bones stimulated submaximally by PTH was enhanced by the concomitant presence of PGF2 alpha. These results indicate that PGF2 alpha modulates cAMP response through the activation of PKC, the target of which might be the catalytic unit of adenylate cyclase. Such interaction between signal transduction systems may have significance in modulating the effect of PTH on bone, i.e., bone resorption.

The present study was designed to evaluate whether protein kinase C (PKC) activation affects hormone-modulated adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) accumulation in rabbit renal proximal tubular cells in primary culture. When intracellular cAMP content was measured in the presence of Ro 20-1724, a selective inhibitor of type III phosphodiesterase (PDE), activation of PKC by the phorbol ester phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) or by diacylglycerol kinase inhibitor R 59022 reinforced parathyroid hormone (PTH)- and forskolin-stimulated cAMP accumulation. During PKC activation, the inhibitory effect of norepinephrine on cAMP content persisted, whereas that of angiotensin II (ANG II) was blunted. In contrast, PKC activators had no effect on cAMP content during PDE blockade by the nonspecific inhibitor 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX). These data suggested that PKC might affect cAMP degradation through inactivation of a Ro 20-1724-insensitive PDE. The possibility that the involved PDE was calcium sensitive was assessed; during PDE inhibition by Ro 20-1724, but not by IBMX, calcium ionophore A23187 inhibited PTH-stimulated cAMP accumulation and PMA abolished the effect of A23187. Finally, neither PKC inhibition by staurosporine nor its downregulation modified the magnitude of PTH-induced cAMP accumulation. In conclusion, 1) in proximal tubular cells PKC affects cAMP degradation rather than synthesis, possibly via inactivation of a calcium-sensitive PDE; 2) PKC modulates PTH-ANG II interaction; and 3) this pathway is likely to play a role in the fine tuning of the effect of PTH and ANG II in the proximal tubule.

The protein kinase C-(PKC) activating phorbol esters 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA; 100 nmol/l) and phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBU; 100 nmol/l) enhanced basal cyclin AMP accumulation in cultured neonatal mouse calvaria. The cyclic AMP response to parathyroid hormone (PTH; 10 nmol/l) and the adenylate cyclase activators forskolin (1-3 mumol/l) and choleratoxin (0.1 mumg/ml) was potentiated in a more than additive manner by TPA and PDBU. In contrast, phorbol 13-monoacetate (phorb-13; 100 nmol/l), a related compound but inactive on PKC, had no effect on basal or stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation. In the presence of indomethacin (1 mumol/l), TPA and PDBU had no effect on cyclic AMP accumulation in calvarial bones per se, but were still able to cause a significant enhancement of the response to PTH, forskolin and choleratoxin. PTH-, forskolin- and choleratoxin-stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation in rat osteosarcoma cells UMR 106-01 was synergistically potentiated by TPA and PDBU, but not by phorb.-13. These data indicate that PKC enhances cyclic AMP formation and that the level of interaction may be at, or distal to, adenylate cyclase.

Calcitonin (CT) is a well-known inhibitor of osteoclastic bone resorption both in vivo and in vitro. The effect is mediated by activation of adenylate cyclase and subsequent increased levels of cyclic AMP (cAMP). We report here that CT-induced (30 nmol/liter) accumulation of cAMP in cultured neonatal mouse calvaria is enhanced two-fold by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA; 100 nmol/liter) and phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBU; 100 nmol/liter), two protein kinase C (PKC)-activating phorbol esters, whereas phorbol 13-monoacetate (phorb-13; 100 nmol/liter), a related compound that does not activate PKC, has no effect. The ability of TPA and PDBU to enhance CT-stimulated cAMP accumulation was obtained also in the presence of indomethacin (1 mumol/liter). Kinetic studies revealed that TPA enhanced the cAMP response to CT at all the time points at which CT had a significant effect per se and that TPA did not alter the time-course of the cAMP response to CT. Treatment with pertussis toxin (100 ng/ml) enhanced cAMP response to parathyroid hormone (10 nmol/liter) and prostaglandin E2, but not to CT. From these data it is concluded that PKC, but not pertussis toxin-sensitive guanyl nucleotide-binding proteins (G-proteins), can interact with and modify the signal transducing system for CT in osteoclasts.

We investigated the tubular action of endothelin in rat nephron segments. The effects of endothelin on arginine vasopressin (AVP)-, parathyroid hormone-, glucagon-, calcitonin-, and isoproterenol-dependent cAMP accumulation were studied. The following nephron segments were microdissected: glomerulus (Gl), proximal convoluted tubule (PCT), cortical and medullary thick ascending limbs of Henle's loop (cTAL and mTAL, respectively), cortical collecting duct (CCD), outer medullary collecting duct (OMCD), and inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD). Endothelin dose dependently (10(-8)-10(-10)M) inhibited AVP-dependent cAMP accumulation in CCD, OMCD, and IMCD. This effect was independent of the presence or absence of phosphodiesterase inhibitor, 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, Ca channel blocker nicardipine, or indomethacin, but was abolished in the presence of protein kinase C inhibitor H-7. Protein kinase C stimulator dioctanoyl glycerol mimicked the effect of endothelin. On the other hand, endothelin had no inhibitory effect on AVP-dependent cAMP accumulation in cTAL or mTAL, parathyroid hormone-dependent cAMP accumulation in Gl and PCT, or glucagon-, calcitonin-, and isoprotereol-dependent cAMP accumulation in OMCD. We conclude that endothelin specifically inhibits AVP-dependent cAMP accumulation in CCD, OMCD, and IMCD through activating protein kinase C. This effect possibly has a role in maintaining urine volume to counteract the decrease in GFR caused by endothelin itself.

We studied the effect of activation of protein kinase C (PKC) by a phorbol ester on cAMP accumulation in fetal rat osteoblasts. Activation of PKC by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) caused a potentiation of cAMP accumulation induced by parathyroid hormone (PTH), forskolin, and cholera toxin. The results suggest that the potentiating effect of PMA on PTH-induced cAMP accumulation was not due to an effect on the PTH-receptor nor to an effect on cAMP degradation, as the effect of PMA persisted in the presence of a phosphodiesterase inhibitor. Pretreatment of the cells with pertussis toxin did not prevent the action of PMA, indicating that PMA does not act via the inhibitory G-protein. PMA had a biphasic effect on prostaglandin E2 (PGE2)-induced cAMP accumulation; i.e., at concentrations greater than or equal to 10(-6) M, PMA potentiated the PGE2-induced cAMP response but PMA attenuated cAMP accumulation induced by concentrations of PGE2 less than or equal to 5.10(77) M. From our data we conclude that PKC can interact with a stimulated cAMP pathway in a stimulatory and inhibitory manner. Potentiation of cAMP accumulation is probably due to modification of the adenylate cyclase complex, whereas attenuation of stimulated cAMP accumulation appears to be due to an effect on a different site of the cAMP generating pathway, which may be specific to PGE2-induced cAMP accumulation.

Uptake of 86Rb was used to follow the activity of Na-K-2Cl cotransport in the osteosarcoma cell line UMR-106-01. The ouabain-resistant fraction of 86Rb uptake was sensitive to bumetanide and furosemide. Furosemide-sensitive 86Rb uptake required the presence of Na+, K+, and Cl- in the incubation medium. These observations indicate the presence of a Na-K-2Cl cotransport system in osteoblasts. Cotransporter activity was stimulated by agonists which increase adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP), cytosolic free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i), and protein kinase C (PKC) activity such as parathyroid hormone (PTH) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). However, endothelin, which increases [Ca2+]i and PKC activity without affecting cellular levels of cAMP, was ineffective in stimulating the cotransporter. Accordingly, increasing cellular cAMP with forskolin was as effective as PTH and PGE2 in stimulating the cotransporter. Stimulation of PKC with TPA inhibited the cotransporter in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. No stimulation of cotransport could be demonstrated at any 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) concentration or incubation time. The Na-K-2Cl cotransporter was stimulated by cell shrinkage. Maximal stimulation was observed after swelling the cells in hypotonic medium and subsequent shrinkage in isotonic medium. Stimulation by cell shrinkage can be demonstrated in control, agonist-, cAMP-, and TPA-treated cells. These observations suggest that 1) the osteoblastic Na-K-2Cl cotransporter is activated by calciotropic hormones predominantly through an increase in cellular cAMP, and 2) in osteoblasts, the cotransporter is independently regulated by different biochemical pathways.

The effects of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), a known activator of protein kinase C, on receptor-mediated stimulation of adenylate cyclase were evaluated in a rat osteosarcoma cell line (UMR-106) with the osteoblast phenotype. Pretreatment of UMR-106 cells with PMA increased parathyroid hormone (PTH)-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity and inhibited prostaglandin E2 (PGE2)-responsive enzyme activity. In addition, PMA enhanced enzyme activation by forskolin, which is thought to exert a direct stimulatory action on the catalytic subunit of adenylate cyclase. The regulatory effects of PMA were concentration dependent and of rapid onset (less than or equal to 1 min). Treatment with PMA also resulted in translocation of protein kinase C activity from the cytosol to the particulate cell fraction. Pertussis toxin, which attenuates inhibition of adenylate cyclase mediated by the inhibitory guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory protein (Gi), augmented PTH-sensitive adenylate cyclase activity and reduced the incremental increase in PTH response produced by PMA. The results suggest that activation of protein kinase C increases PTH-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity by actions on Gi and/or the catalytic subunit and decreases PGE2 responsiveness by a mechanism involving the PGE2 receptor.

We examined the interaction of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and recombinant human insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) on collagen synthesis in 21-day fetal rat calvariae as assessed by measuring the incorporation of [3H]proline into collagenase-digestible protein. After 96 hours of culture, 10 nM PTH antagonized the stimulation of collagen synthesis and partially blocked the increase in dry weight produced by 10 nM IGF-I. The effect of PTH to block IGF-I stimulated collagen synthesis was observed in the central bone of calvariae and was mimicked by forskolin and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, but not by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, transforming growth factor-alpha or dexamethasone. Our data are consistent with the concept that the direct effect of PTH is to inhibit basal CDP labeling and fully oppose IGF-I stimulated CDP labeling. The finding that this effect of PTH is mimicked by forskolin and PMA suggests that this block in IGF-I stimulation of CDP labeling involves both cAMP and protein kinase C mediated pathways.
