Parathyroid hormone (PTH), a major regulator of mineral ion metabolism, and PTH-related peptide (PTHrP), which causes hypercalcemia in some cancer patients, stimulate multiple signals (cAMP, inositol phosphates, and calcium) probably by activating common receptors in bone and kidney. Using expression cloning, we have isolated a cDNA clone encoding rat bone PTH/PTHrP receptor from rat osteosarcoma (ROS 17/2.8) cells. The rat bone PTH/PTHrP receptor is 78% identical to the opossum kidney receptor; this identity indicates striking conservation of this receptor across distant mammalian species. Additionally, the rat bone PTH/PTHrP receptor has significant homology to the secretin and calcitonin receptors but not to any other G protein-linked receptor. When expressed in COS cells, a single cDNA clone, expressing either rat bone or opossum kidney PTH/PTHrP receptor, mediates PTH and PTHrP stimulation of both adenylate cyclase and phospholipase C. These properties could explain the diversity of PTH action without the need to postulate other receptor subtypes.

Parathyroid hormone action on renal proximal tubule function involves phospholipase C/protein kinase C as well as adenylate cyclase/protein kinase A mediated regulatory pathways. Tissue culture experiments suggest that low concentrations of PTH affect preferentially the phospholipase C/protein kinase C pathway. In vivo, both regulatory cascades are probably involved in the regulation of proximal tubule function. It is not clear at present whether the two intracellular pathways are linked to one or two PTH receptors. A polarized distribution of PTH receptor(s) involving different second messengers appears possible in proximal tubule epithelial cells. High-affinity (Kd 10(-11)-10(-12) M) PTH receptors in the range of circulating PTH concentrations in vivo remain to be identified. Structural and functional characterization of PTH receptors as well as of the PTH-sensitive intracellular mediators and transport systems form the basis for a better understanding of PTH-dependent regulation of proximal tubule function.

Effects of the polyvalent cationic antibiotic neomycin on regulation of the cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) were studied in normal and adenomatous human, and bovine parathyroid cells. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) release was also measured in the bovine cells. Elevation of extracellular Ca2+ from 0.5 to 3 mM caused biphasic increase of [Ca2+]i and inhibition of PTH release. In low external Ca2+ neomycin inhibited PTH release and virtually only triggered the [Ca2+]i transient. In contrast [Ca2+]i was lowered and PTH release stimulated by neomycin in the presence of 3.0 mM Ca2+ or 7 mM Mg2+. These actions of Ca2+ and neomycin on [Ca2+]i were qualitatively similar but less pronounced in the adenomatous than normal human parathyroid cells. Some effects of neomycin were thus similar to those induced by other cationic agents interacting with the Ca2+ receptor mechanism on the parathyroid cell surface, whereas others may involve phospholipase C inhibition, protein kinase C activation or a direct reduction of the Ca2+ influx.

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) controls two proximal tubular brush border membrane transport systems, Na+/phosphate co-transport and Na+/H+ exchange. In OK cells, a cell line with proximal tubular transport characteristics, PTH acts via kinase C and kinase A activation to inhibit Na+/phosphate co-transport [6, 8, 9, 19, 22]. In the present study, we show that PTH inhibits Na+/H+ exchange and that this effect can be mimicked by pharmacological activation of kinase A and kinase C. Ionomycin-dependent increases in cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration do not induce inhibition of Na+/H+ exchange; PTH-dependent inhibition of Na+/H+ exchange is not prevented by ionomycin or by the intracellular Ca2+ chelator 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (Ca2+ clamping). Detailed dose-response curves for the different agonists, given either alone or in combination, suggest that the two regulatory cascades (kinase A and kinase C) are operating independent of each other and reach a common final target, resulting in 40-50% inhibition of Na+/H+ exchange. An analysis of intracellular pH sensitivity of Na+/H+ exchange suggests that inhibition is not related to a shift in set point, but is rather explained by a reduced Vmax of Na+/H+ exchange and/or reduced affinity for protons at the internal membrane surface. It is suggested that kinase A as well as kinase C can mediate PTH inhibition of renal proximal tubular Na+/H+ exchange and that the relative importance of a particular regulatory cascade is determined by the PTH-concentration-dependent rates in the liberation of diacylglycerol (phospholipase C/kinase C) and cAMP (adenylate cyclase/kinase A).

Parathyroid hormone (PTH), which increases cAMP levels, also induces an increase in the activity of the brain isozyme of creatine kinase and in DNA synthesis in osteoblast-enriched bone cell cultures by a cAMP-independent mechanism. The following results lead us to the conclusion that PTH induction of brain isozyme of creatine kinase activity and DNA synthesis occurs by activation of membranal phospholipid metabolism leading to increased protein kinase C activity and Ca2+ mobilization, a mechanism demonstrated for several growth factors and other hormones. (1) Binding of membranal phospholipids by agents such as gentamycin or antiphospholipid antibodies abolishes the stimulation by PTH of creatine kinase activity and DNA synthesis but not of cAMP production. (2) Treatment of cell cultures with exogenous phospholipase C increases brain isozyme of creatine kinase activity and DNA synthesis, but not cAMP production; these stimulations are also blocked by serum containing anti-phospholipid antibodies. PTH has no additional effect on stimulation of creatine kinase activity by phospholipase C (and only a slight effect on DNA synthesis). (3) A synthetic diacylglycerol (1-oleyl-2-acetyl glycerol) or phorbol ester (phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate) or Ca2+ ionophore, A23187 induces creatine kinase activity and DNA synthesis in the cultures. However, this effect is not blocked by antiphospholipid sera and PTH has no additional effect. (4) Inhibition of protein kinase C activity by drugs reported to inhibit the enzyme (retinoic acid, quercetin) abolishes the stimulation of brain isozyme of creatine kinase activity and of DNA synthesis by PTH.

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) has been implicated in hypertension, but PTH infusion results in vasodilation. PTH activates adenylate cyclase in vascular smooth muscle, but little is known about the factors that regulate PTH receptor/adenylate cyclase coupling in vascular cells. To characterize hormone-receptor signaling, we measured cyclic AMP levels in rat arterial smooth muscle cells in culture exposed to PTH (bovine 1-34). PTH yielded time- and concentration-dependent increases in cyclic AMP levels. Compared with isoproterenol, PTH was more potent, with a threshold at 2 x 10(-9) versus 5 x 10(-8) mol/L and half maximal responses at 10(-8) versus 2.4 x 10(-7) mol/L. PTH-induced increases in cyclic AMP were independent of extracellular calcium, cyclooxygenase metabolites, phospholipase C, and protein kinase C because PTH-induced increases in cyclic AMP were not prevented by variations in extracellular calcium, indomethacin, angiotensin II, vasopressin, and protein kinase C activators or inhibitors. PTH/adenylate cyclase coupling was G protein-dependent because increases in cyclic AMP were prevented by preincubation with cholera toxin but not with pertussis toxin. Prolonged exposure to PTH resulted in time- and concentration-dependent homologous desensitization of cyclic AMP responses. Desensitization occurred proximal to G protein/adenylate cyclase because after prolonged PTH, responses to forskolin and cholera toxin remained intact. Desensitization was independent of protein kinase A and receptor sequestration because cyclic AMP responses remained after prolonged exposure to forskolin and pretreatment with phenylarsine oxide, colchicine, and cytochalasin D. We conclude that in vascular smooth muscle cells, PTH is coupled to adenylate cyclase through a cholera toxin-sensitive G protein.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHRP) interact with a common G protein-coupled receptor and stimulate production of diverse second messengers (i.e. cAMP, diacylglycerol, and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate) that varies depending on the target cell. In renal proximal tubule OK cells, PTH inhibits the activity of the apical membrane Na+/H+ exchanger, although it is unclear whether the signal is transmitted through protein kinase A (PKA) and/or protein kinase C (PKC). To delineate the signaling circuitry, a series of synthetic PTH and PTHRP fragments were used that stimulate the adenylate cyclase-cAMP-PKA and/or phospholipase C-diacylglycerol-PKC pathways. Human PTH-(1-34) and PTHRP-(1-34) stimulated adenylate cyclase and PKC activity, whereas the PTH analogues, PTH-(3-34), PTH-(28-42), and PTH-(28-48), selectively enhanced only PKC activity. However, each peptide fragment inhibited Na+/H+ exchanger activity by 40-50%, suggesting that PKC and possibly PKA were capable of transducing the PTH/PTHRP signal to the transporter. This was corroborated when forskolin and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), direct agonists of adenylate cyclase and PKC, respectively, both inhibited the Na+/H+ exchanger. The specific PKA antagonist, H-89, abolished the forskolin-mediated suppression of Na+/H+ exchanger activity, but did not prevent the inhibitory effects of PTH-(1-34) or PMA. In comparison, the potent PKC inhibitor, chelerythrine chloride, prevented the inhibition of Na+/H+ exchanger activity mediated by PTH-(28-48) and PMA but did not avert the negative regulation caused by PTH-(1-34) or forskolin. However, inhibition of both PKA and PKC prevented PTH-(1-34)-mediated suppression of Na+/H+ exchanger activity, indicating that PTH-(1-34) acted through both signaling pathways. In addition, Northern blot analysis revealed the presence of only the NHE-3 isoform of the Na+/H+ exchanger in OK cells. In summary, these results demonstrated that NHE-3 is expressed in OK cells and that activation of the PTH receptor can stimulate both the PKA and PKC pathways, each of which can independently lead to inhibition of NHE-3 activity.

Parathyroid hormone (PTH)/parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP) receptor expressed in rat cultured cortical type I astrocytes was identified and characterized. Northern blot analysis demonstrated that the PTH/PTHrP receptor mRNA is expressed in astrocytes. A human PTH fragment, PTH [1-34], stimulated adenylate cyclase with the EC50 value of 3 nM, but not phospholipase C. PTH [1-34] changed the morphology of protoplasmic type astrocytes into process-bearing ones. Thus, type I astrocytes possess PTH/PTHrP receptor that is coupled to an adenylate cyclase-activating system but not to phospholipase C.

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) activates both adenylate cyclase and phospholipase C in target cells, and cloned PTH/PTH-related protein (PTHrP) receptor can mediate both responses when expressed in host cells such as LLC-PK1 renal epithelial cells. Because calcitonin (CT) is known to augment 70-kDa heat shock protein (HSP70) mRNA by an adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP)-independent mechanism in LLC-PK1 cells, we examined regulation of HSP70 transcription by PTH in these cells. Like CT, human PTH-(1-34) [hPTH-(1-34); 10(-10) to 10(-7) M)] increased porcine HSP70 mRNA and human HSP70 promoter-chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) expression within 4 h in LLC-PK1 cells that stably express > or = 100,000 PTH/PTHrP receptors per cell. The effect of PTH on HSP70 mRNA was not mimicked by cAMP analogues, forskolin, phorbol esters, Ca2+ ionophores, or alpha-thrombin; was insensitive to pertussis toxin; and was not due to increased mRNA stability. The upregulation of HSP70 gene transcription by hPTH (and CT) was clearly observed even after deletion of the functional heat shock consensus element in the promoter region of the human HSP70/CAT reporter. Upregulation of HSP70 transcription via endogenous PTH receptors also was observed in the osteoblastic cell lines SaOS-2 and ROS 17/2.8. Regulation of HSP70 gene transcription by PTH may be a common cellular response to the hormone, which, in some cells, may not be mediated by activation of adenylate cyclase or protein kinase C.

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) regulates calcium metabolism through a specific G protein-coupled, seven-transmembrane helix-containing receptor. This receptor also binds and is activated by PTH-related protein (PTHrP). The human (h) PTH/PTHrP receptor is a membrane glycoprotein with an apparent molecular weight of approximately 85000 which contains four putative N-glycosylation sites. To elucidate the functional role of receptor glycosylation, if any, we studied hormone binding and signal transduction in human embryonic kidney cells transfected with hPTH/PTHrP receptor (HEK-293/C-21). These cells stably express 300000-400000 receptors per cell. Inhibition of N-glycosylation with an optimized concentration of tunicamycin yielded completely nonglycosylated hPTH/PTHrP receptor (approximately 60 kDa). This receptor form is fully functional; it maintains nanomolar binding affinity for PTH- and PTHrP-derived agonists and antagonists. PTH and PTHrP agonists stimulate cyclic AMP accumulation and increases in cytosolic calcium levels. In addition, the highly potent benzophenone (pBz2)-containing PTH-derived radioligand [Nle8,18,Lys13(epsilon-pBz2),L-2-Nal23,Tyr34 3-125I)]bPTH(1-34)NH2 can photoaffinity cross-link specifically to the nonglycosylated receptor. The molecular weight (approximately 60000) of the band representing the photo-cross-linked, nonglycosylated receptor (obtained from the tunicamycin-treated HEK-293/C-21 cells) was similar to that of the deglycosylated photo-cross-linked receptor (obtained by enzymatic treatment with Endoglycosidase-F/N-glycosidase-F). Our findings indicate that glycosylation of the hPTH/PTHrP receptor is not essential for its effective expression on the plasma membrane or for the binding of ligands known to interact with the native receptor. The nonglycosylated hPTH/PTHrP receptor remains fully functional with regard to both of its known signal transduction pathways: cAMP-protein kinase A and phospholipase C-cytosolic calcium.
