The present studies were carried out to evaluate the mechanisms by which PTH/PTHrP receptor (PTHR) activation influences cell viability. In 293 cells expressing recombinant PTHRs, PTH treatment markedly reduced the number of viable cells. This effect was associated with a marked apoptotic response including DNA fragmentation and the appearance of apoptotic nuclei. Similar effects were evidenced in response to serum withdrawal or to the addition of tumor necrosis factor (TNFalpha). Addition of caspase inhibitors or overexpression of bcl-2 partially abrogated apoptosis induced by serum withdrawal. Caspase inhibitors also protected cells from PTH-induced apoptosis, but overexpression of bcl-2 did not. The effects of PTH on cell number and apoptosis were neither mimicked by activators of the cAMP pathway (forskolin, isoproterenol) nor blocked by an inhibitor (H-89). However, elevation of Ca(i)2+ by addition of thapsigargin induced rapid apoptosis, and suppression of Ca(i)2+ by overexpression of the calcium- binding protein, calbindin D28k, inhibited PTH-induced apoptosis. The protein kinase C inhibitor GF 109203X partially inhibited PTH-induced apoptosis. Regulator of G protein signaling 4 (RGS4) (an inhibitor of the activity of the alpha-subunit of Gq) suppressed apoptotic signaling by the PTHR, whereas the C-terminal fragment of GRK2 (an inhibitor of the activity of the beta(gamma)-subunits of G proteins) was without effect. Chemical mutagenesis allowed selection of a series of 293 cell lines resistant to the apoptotic actions of PTH; a subset of these were also resistant to TNFalpha. These results suggest that 1) apoptosis produced by PTHR and TNF receptor signaling involve converging pathways; and 2) Gq-mediated phospholipase C/Ca2+ signaling, rather than Gs-mediated cAMP signaling, is required for the apoptotic effects of PTHR activation.

Type-1 PTH/PTH-related peptide receptors (PTH1Rs), which activate both adenylyl cyclase and phospholipase C (PLC), control endochondral bone development by regulating chondrocyte differentiation. To directly analyze PTH1R function in such cells, we isolated conditionally transformed clonal chondrocytic cell lines from tibial growth plates of neonatal mice heterozygous for PTH1R gene ablation. Among 104 cell lines isolated, messenger RNAs for PTH1R, collagen II, and collagen X were detected in 28%, 90%, and 29%, respectively. These cell lines were morphologically diverse. Some appeared large, rounded, and enveloped by abundant extracellular matrix; whereas others were smaller, flattened, and elongated. Two PTH1R-expressing clones showed similar PTH1R binding and cAMP responsiveness to PTH and PTH-related peptide but disparate morphologic features, characteristic of hypertrophic (hC1--5) or nonhypertrophic (nhC2--27) chondrocytes, respectively. hC1--5 cells expressed messenger RNAs for collagen II and X, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and matrix GLA protein, whereas nhC2--27 cells expressed collagen II and Indian hedgehog but not collagen X or ALP. In hC1--5 cells, PTH and cAMP analog, but not phorbol ester, inhibited both ALP and mineralization. PTH1R-null hC1--5 subclones were isolated by in vitro selection and then reconstituted by stable transfection with wild-type PTH1Rs or mutant (DSEL) PTH1Rs defective in PLC activation. ALP and mineralization were inhibited similarly via both forms of the receptor. These results indicate that PLC activation is not required for PTH1R regulation of mineralization or ALP in hypertrophic chondrocytes and are consistent with a major role for cAMP in regulating differentiation of hypertrophic chondrocytes.

We previously reported that in rat duodenal cells (enterocytes), parathyroid hormone (PTH [1-34]: PTH) stimulates the hydrolysis of polyphosphoinositides by phospholipase C (PLC), generating the second messengers inositol trisphosphate (IP(3)) and diacylglycerol (DAG) and that this mechanism is severely altered in old animals. In the present study, we show that PTH [1-34]-dependent IP(3) release in young rats was blocked to a great extent by an antibody against guanine nucleotide binding protein Galphaq/11, indicating that the hormone activates a beta isoform of PLC coupled to the alpha subunit of Gq/11. In addition, PTH rapidly (within 30 s, with maximal effects at 1 min) stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of PLCgamma in a dose-dependent fashion (10(-10)-10(-7) M). The hormone response was specific as PTH [7-34] was without effects. The tyrosine kinase inhibitors, genistein (100 microM) and herbimycin (2 microM), suppressed PTH-dependent PLCgamma tyrosine phosphorylation. Stimulation of PLCgamma tyrosine phosphorylation by PTH [1-34] greatly decreased with ageing. PP1 (10 microM), a specific inhibitor of the Src family of tyrosine kinases, completely abolished PLCgamma phosphorylation. The hormone-induced Src tyrosine dephosphorylation, a major mechanism of Src activation, an effect that was blunted in old animals. These results indicate that in rat enterocytes PTH generates IP(3) mainly through G-protein-coupled PLCbeta and stimulates PLCgamma phosphorylation via the nonreceptor tyrosine kinase Src. Impairment of PTH activation of both PLC isoforms upon ageing may result in abnormal hormone regulation of cell Ca(2+) and proliferation in the duodenum.

The parathyroid hormone 1 receptor (PTH1R) is a class II G-protein-coupled receptor. PTH1R agonists include both PTH, a hormone that regulates blood calcium and phosphate, and PTH-related protein (PTHrP), a paracrine/autocrine factor that is essential for development, particularly of the skeleton. Adenylyl cyclase activation is thought to be responsible for most cellular responses to PTH and PTHrP, although many actions appear to be independent of adenylyl cyclase. Here we show that the PTH1R binds to Na(+)/H(+) exchanger regulatory factors (NHERF) 1 and 2 through a PDZ-domain interaction in vitro and in PTH target cells. NHERF2 simultaneously binds phospholipase C beta 1 and an atypical, carboxyl-terminal PDZ consensus motif, ETVM, of the PTH1R through PDZ1 and PDZ2, respectively. PTH treatment of cells that express the NHERF2 PTH1R complex markedly activates phospholipase C beta and inhibits adenylyl cyclase through stimulation of inhibitory G proteins (G(i/o) proteins). NHERF-mediated assembly of PTH1R and phospholipase C beta is a unique mechanism to regulate PTH signalling in cells and membranes of polarized cells that express NHERF, which may account for many tissue- and cell-specific actions of PTH/PTHrP and may also be relevant to signalling by many G-protein-coupled receptors.

One G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) can activate more than one G protein, but the physiologic importance of such activation has not been demonstrated in vivo. We have generated mice expressing exclusively a mutant form of the PTH/PTHrP receptor (DSEL) that activates adenylyl cyclase normally but not phospholipase C (PLC). DSEL mutant mice exhibit abnormalities in embryonic endochondral bone development, including delayed ossification and increased chondrocyte proliferation. Analysis of the differentiation of embryonic metatarsals in vitro shows that PTH(1-34) and forskolin inhibit, whereas active phorbol ester stimulates, hypertrophic differentiation. Thus, PLC signaling via the PTH/PTHrP receptor normally slows the proliferation and hastens the differentiation of chondrocytes, actions that oppose the dominant effects of PTH/PTHrP receptors and that involve cAMP-dependent signaling pathways.

The PTH/PTHrP receptor stimulates both adenylate cyclase- and phospholipase C-dependent signaling pathways via different G proteins. The biological actions of PTH on bone are modified by steroid hormones. PTH induces expression of regulator of G protein signaling (RGS)-2, a putative preferential inhibitor of G(q)-mediated phospholipase C activation. We investigated whether steroid hormones interfere with PTH signaling by modulating PTH-induced RGS-2 expression in osteoblast-like UMR 106-01 cells. PTH (1-34) rapidly and transiently induced expression of RGS-2 mRNA and protein via the cAMP/protein kinase A pathway within 30 min, with maximal protein abundance after 2 h. PTH-induced RGS-2 preferentially bound to Galpha(q), compared with Galpha(s) protein. 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) pretreatment enhanced PTH-induced RGS-2 mRNA and protein accumulation, whereas dexamethasone preincubation had an attenuating effect. These effects were due to modulation of the RGS-2 gene transcription rate, which increased by 35% with 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) and decreased by 63% with dexamethasone pretreatment. RGS-2 mRNA half-life was not affected by either steroid. The transcriptional effects of dexamethasone and 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) were independent of PTH/PTHrP receptor activation and were not explained by effects on cAMP accumulation, cAMP response element-binding protein expression or phosphorylation, or the abundance of the osteoblast-specific transcription factor core-binding factor alpha (CBFa1/Runx2), a known activator of RGS-2 expression. In conclusion, glucocorticoids and 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) inversely modulate PTH-induced RGS-2 gene transcription. Regulation of RGS-2 may constitute a novel mechanism by which steroids modulate signaling via the PTH/PTHrP receptor and other G protein-coupled receptors in bone.

The opossum kidney (OK) line displays PTH-mediated activation of adenylyl cyclase and phospholipase C and inhibition of phosphate (Pi) uptake via regulation of the type IIa sodium-phosphate cotransporter, consistent with effects in vivo. OKH cells, a subclone of the OK cell line, robustly activates PTH-mediated activation of adenylyl cyclase, but is defective in PTH-mediated inhibition of sodium-phosphate cotransport and signaling via phospholipase C. Compared with wild-type OK cells, OKH cells express low levels of the Na+/H+ exchanger regulatory factor 1 (NHERF-1). Stable expression of NHERF-1 in OKH cells (OKH-N1) rescues the PTH-mediated inhibition of sodium-phosphate cotransport. NHERF-1 also restores the capacity of 8-bromo-cAMP and forskolin to inhibit Pi uptake, but the PTH dose-response for cAMP accumulation and inhibition of Pi uptake differ by 2 orders of magnitude. NHERF-1, in addition, modestly restores phorbol ester-mediated inhibition of Pi uptake, which is much weaker than that elicited by PTH. A poor correlation exists between the inhibition of Pi uptake mediated by PTH ( approximately 60%) and the inhibition mediated by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate ( approximately 30%) and the ability of these molecules to activate the protein kinase C-responsive reporter gene. Furthermore, we show that NHERF-1 directly interacts with type IIa cotransporter in OK cells. Although, PTH-mediated inhibition of Pi uptake in OK cells is largely NHERF-1 dependent, the signaling pathway(s) by which this occurs is still unclear. These pathways may involve cooperativity between cAMP- and protein kinase C-dependent pathways or activation/inhibition of an unrecognized NHERF-1-dependent pathway(s).

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) mediate the action of many hormones, cytokines, and sensory and chemical signals. It is generally thought that receptor desensitization and internalization require occupancy and activation of the GPCR. PTH and PTHrP receptor (PTH1R) belongs to GPCR class B and is the major regulator of extracellular calcium homeostasis. Using kidney distal convoluted tubule cells transfected with a human PTH1R/enhanced green fluorescent protein fusion protein, quantitative, real-time fluorescence microscopy was used to analyze receptor internalization. In these cells, which are the target of the calcium-sparing action of PTH, PTH(1-34) activated adenylyl cyclase (AC) and phospholipase C (PLC) and PTH1R endocytosis. PTH(1-31), however, stimulated AC and PLC but not PTH1R endocytosis. Conversely, PTH(7-34) rapidly stimulated PTH1R internalization without activating AC or PLC. PTH(2-34) and (3-34) caused PTH1R internalization intermediate between PTH(1-34) and (7-34). PTH1R sequestration occurred in a dynamin- and clathrin-dependent manner. Directly activating AC inhibited PTH1R internalization in response to PTH(7-34). PTH1R endocytosis was sensitive to protein kinase C inhibition. PTH(1-34), (7-34), and (1-31) evoked PTH1R phosphorylation. Removal of most of the C terminus of the PTH1R eliminated receptor phosphorylation and the cAMP/protein kinase C sensitivity of internalization. PTH(1-34) and (7-34) internalized the truncated PTH1R with identical kinetics, and the response was unaffected by forskolin. Thus, the PTH1R C terminus contains regulatory sequences that are involved in, but not required for, PTH1R internalization. The results demonstrate that receptor activation and internalization can be selectively dissociated.

The mode of action of PTHrP in the regulation of sea bream (Sparus auratus) interrenal cortisol production was studied in vitro using a dynamic superfusion system. Piscine (1-34)PTHrP (10(-6)-10(-11) M) stimulated cortisol production in a dose-dependent manner. The ED50 of (1-34)PTHrP was 2.8 times higher than that of (1-39)ACTH, and maximum increase in cortisol production in response to 10(-8) M of (1-34)PTHrP was approximately 7-fold lower than for 10(-8) M of (1-39)ACTH. In contrast to (1-34)PTHrP, piscine (10-20)PTHrP, (79-93)PTHrP, and (100-125)PTHrP (10(-9)-10(-7) M) did not stimulate cortisol production. The effect of piscine (1-34)PTHrP on cortisol production was abolished by N-terminal peptides in which the first amino acid (Ser) was absent and by simultaneous addition of inhibitors of the adenylyl cyclase-protein kinase A and phospholipase C-protein kinase C intracellular pathways but not by each separately. The PTHrP-induced signal transduction was further investigated by measurements of cAMP production and [H3]myo-inositol incorporation in an interrenal cell suspension. Piscine (1-34)PTHrP increased cAMP and total inositol phosphate accumulation, which is indicative that the mechanism of action of PTHrP in interrenal tissue involves the activation of both the adenylyl cyclase-cAMP and phospholipase C-inositol phosphate signaling pathways. These results, together with the expression of mRNA for PTHrP and for PTH receptor (PTHR) type 1 and PTHR type 3 receptors in sea bream interrenal tissue, suggest a specific paracrine or autocrine steroidogenic action of PTHrP mediated by the PTHRs.

Humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy is widely associated with tumor production of parathyroid hormone related protein (PTH-rP). This peptide functions in endocrine, autocrine and paracrine mechanisms in a manner similar to PTH; increasing renal uptake of calcium, decreasing retention of phosphorous, and stimulating adenylate cyclase and phospholipase C. Although PTH-rP production has been well documented in neoplasms of the exocrine pancreas, we present here two cases of endocrine pancreatic neoplasms elaborating PTH-rP. We then review the literature of previous cases and delve into the pathophysiology of this peptide.
