Chronic renal failure (CRF) is associated with an increase in calcium content of heart. This was attributed to the secondary hyperparathyroidism of CRF, since PTH augments entry of calcium into cardiac myocytes. At present, it is not known whether the increase in calcium content of heart reflects a rise in basal levels of cytosolic calcium ([Ca2+]) of cardiac myocytes. Further, in order for the PTH-induced entry of calcium into cardiac myocytes to raise their basal levels of [Ca2+]i, calcium extrusion out of these cells should be impaired as well. The present study examined the effect of CRF with and without excess PTH (PTX) and of the treatment of CRF rats with verapamil on basal levels of [Ca2+]i and ATP content of cardiac myocytes and on the activities of the pumps that are directly (Ca(2+)-ATPase and Na(+)-Ca2+ exchanger) and indirectly (Na(+)-K+ ATPase) responsible for calcium extrusion out of these cells. The basal levels of [Ca2+]i of cardiac myocytes increased (P < 0.01) and their ATP content decreased (P < 0.01) as the duration of CRF advanced. CRF was associated with significant decrement in Vmax of Ca2+ ATPase and Na(+)-K+ ATPase and in Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange. These derangements were prevented by prior PTX of the CRF rats or by their treatment with verapamil.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The chronic effect of PTH on erythrocyte membrane Ca transport was examined. (Ca+Mg)ATPase activity and passive Sr influx were measured to assess the rate of passive Ca influx (total and inhibited by dihydropyridines [DHPs]), in erythrocytes from patients with primary hyperparathyroidism and normal controls. Erythrocyte Sr influx was lower in patients, due to a decreased DHP-sensitive Sr influx. Conversely, efflux activity of (Ca+Mg)ATPase was not different in patients and controls. We hypothesize that in primary hyperparathyroidism chronic PTH stimulation may induce a downregulation of the erythrocyte Ca influx mediated by DHP-sensitive Ca carrier.

Omeprazole is an inhibitor of gastric H+,K(+)-ATPase. Although the major proton transport of osteoclast is mediated by a vacuolar-type H(+)-ATPase which is different from the gastric H+,K(+)-ATPase, in vitro studies have demonstrated that omeprazole inhibits bone resorption. In this study, the effect of omeprazole on bone resorption was evaluated in patients who had a history of gastric ulcer and were treated with maintenance doses of H2 blocker without any gastric complaints at the study time. H2-blocker administration was changed to omeprazole treatment in the study group and to no treatment in the control group. Urinary excretion of hydroxyproline and calcium decreased after omeprazole treatment in the study group. Serum intact PTH, alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) increased in this group. In the control group, there were not any changes in these parameters. The discrepancy between serum TRAP and urinary excretion of hydroxyproline and calcium in the study group was thought to be due to the suppression of bone resorption by omeprazole, which probably interfered the acidification at resorption lacunae and resulted in the inactivation of TRAP and other lysosomal enzymes. The results of our study suggest the possibility that the specific inhibitors of the osteoclastic proton pump (such as bafilomycins) will more effectively suppress bone resorption and be useful for the treatment of metabolic bone diseases with increased bone resorption.

Brush border (BBM) and basolateral membranes (BLM) of rat renal cortical cells separated by free flow electrophoresis revealed two distinct peaks of BBM-specific leucine aminopeptidase and Na+/K(+)-ATPase for BLM. PTH/PTH-related protein (PTHrP) receptors were identified in BBM and BLM. Specific binding of 125 pM [125I]chicken [Tyr36]-PTHrP-(1-36)amide [chPTHrP-(1-36)] to individual fractions of membranes separated by free flow electrophoresis overlapped with the leucine aminopeptidase and Na+/K(+)-ATPase profiles. Binding to pooled BBM was 53 +/- 5% (mean +/- SEM) of that to BLM (P < 0.01). In BBM and BLM, half-maximal inhibition of binding was obtained with 0.4-0.9 nM chPTHrP-(1-36) and 0.2-0.6 nM rat PTH-(1-34). Guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S; 100 microM) lowered chPTHrP-(1-36) binding to 50% of control levels, and half-maximal inhibition of binding was obtained with 480 and 8 nM GTP gamma S in BBM and BLM, respectively. Cross-linking of the PTH/PTHrP receptors with [125I]chPTHrP-(1-36) modified with N-hydroxysuccinimidyl-4-azidobenzoate revealed indistinguishable doublets of 83 and 73 kilodaltons in both BBM and BLM. Adenylyl cyclase was stimulated 6- and 10-fold by chPTHrP-(1-36) and GTP gamma S, respectively, in BLM and 1.3- and 1.9-fold in BBM. In conclusion, PTH receptors were recognized in both the basolateral and brush border membranes. Different receptor coupling to G-proteins and minimal cAMP stimulation in BBM provide evidence for PTH/PTHrP receptor isotypes and/or different postreceptor activation in BBM and BLM.

The current understanding of the cellular mode of action of PTH has undergone deep changes during the last decade and the major acquisitions can be summarized as follows. First, results from biochemical and cell biology studies suggest the existence of at least two receptor types coupled to two distinct intracellular signaling pathways by G proteins: the phospholipase C-calcium-protein kinase C pathway would be coupled to high-affinity receptors, whereas the adenylate cyclase-cAMP-protein kinase A pathway would be coupled to low-affinity receptors. Until now, only one type of PTH receptor has been identified at the molecular level. It is very likely that additional PTH receptor types will be evidenced. Second, both PTH receptor-coupled transduction pathways are involved in the inhibitory effect of the hormone on the activity of two transport systems of the apical membrane of proximal tubular cells: Na-Pi cotransport and Na-H exchanger. These effects are the cellular basis for PTH inhibition of Pi and bicarbonate reabsorption. Which proteins are the targets of the different protein kinases remains to be established. Concerning the other effects of PTH on the proximal tubule (stimulation of neoglucogenesis and of calcitriol synthesis, and Na, K-ATPase inhibition), protein kinase C seems to play a major role. Third, in Henle's loop, PTH stimulates reabsorption of divalent cations through a dual effect under the dependence of protein kinase A, i.e., enhanced epithelial potential difference and opening of paracellular pathway. Finally, stimulation of distal calcium reabsorption results from multiple events: membrane insertion of apical calcium channels, opening of basolateral chloride channels resulting in cellular hyperpolarization, and modulation of Ca-ATPase. Again, while it is commonly acknowledged that both transduction systems are involved, their precise molecular targets remain to be identified (Table 1). The elucidation of the cellular mode of action of PTH, some examples of which have been reviewed, holds major interest far beyond the field of cell or organ physiology. It is the basis for understanding and, ultimately, for comprehensive treatment of genetic diseases characterized by functional abnormalities of molecules involved in the cascade of events leading to the effect of PTH on its cellular targets (hormone receptors, G proteins, and kinases). The second perspective is pharmacologic: molecular and structural identification of PTH-receptor interactions will be a prelude to design and synthesis of new selective, nonpeptidic hormonal analogs and antagonists that are easier to handle. The high incidence and severity of secondary hyperparathyroidism during chronic renal failure highlights the importance of this research.

We recently reported a novel intracellular mechanism of Na-K-adenosinetriphosphatase (Na-K-ATPase) regulation in the cortical collecting duct (CCD) by agents that increase cell adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP), which involves stimulation of protein kinase A (PKA) and phospholipase A2 (PLA2). We now determined whether this mechanism also operates in other nephron segments. In the medullary thick ascending limb (MTAL) dopamine, the DA1 agonist fenoldopam, forskolin, or dibutyryl-cAMP inhibited Na-K-ATPase activity, similar to results in CCD. In both segments this effect was blocked by 20-residue inhibitory peptide (IP20), a peptide inhibitor of PKA, but not by staurosporine, a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor. PKC activators phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate, and 1,2-myristate 13-acetate, phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate, and 1,2-dioctanoylglycerol had no effect on Na-K pump activity in either CCD or MTAL. In contrast, all three PKC activators inhibited pump activity in the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT), an effect reproduced only by dopamine or by parathyroid hormone [PTH-(1-34)]. In PCT the pump inhibition by dopamine or PTH-(1-34) was abolished by staurosporine but not by IP20. The PLA2 inhibitor mepacrine prevented the effect of all agents, and arachidonic acid produced a dose-dependent pump inhibition in each of the three segments studied. We conclude that intracellular mechanisms of Na-K-ATPase regulation differ along the nephron, as they involve activation of PKA in CCD and MTAL and of PKC in PCT. These two pathways probably share a common mechanism in stimulating PLA2, arachidonic acid release, and production of eicosanoids in both the proximal and distal nephron.

Primary cultures of human renal cortex cells were incubated in hypertonic medium and low K+ medium to determine the effect on Na,K-ATPase alpha and beta subunit expression, cell water, and intracellular ions. Cells exhibited functional characteristics of proximal tubules based on PTH stimulation of cAMP and the presence of Na(+)-dependent phosphate transport. When either NaCl or sucrose was added to increase medium osmolality to 500 mOsm/kg, beta subunit mRNA increased relative to control between 2.4 and 3.2-fold by six hours, and was still near twofold higher after 24 hours, while alpha subunit mRNA increased to about 1.5 times control by six hours. In low K+ medium, only beta mRNA increased. Hypertonic incubation increased Na,K-ATPase activity by 39% to 66% after 24 hours. Cell water was 70% of control at one hour, but increased to 90% of control by 24 hours. Only about 40% of the volume regulatory increase depended on accumulation of Na+ and K+. These results demonstrate that primary cultures of human proximal tubule cells can respond to hypertonic stress by induction of Na,K-ATPase.

To evaluate further the signal transduction mechanisms involved in the short-term modulation of Na-K-ATPase activity in the mammalian kidney, we examined the role of phospholipase C-protein kinase C (PLC-PKC) pathway and of various eicosanoids in this process, using microdissected rat proximal convoluted tubules. Dopamine (DA) and parathyroid hormone (either synthetic PTH1-34 or PTH3-34) inhibited Na-K-ATPase activity in dose-dependent manner; this effect was reproduced by PKC530-558 fragment and blocked by the specific PKC inhibitor calphostin C, as well as by the PLC inhibitors neomycin and U-73122. Pump inhibition by DA, PTH, or arachidonic acid, and by PKC activators phorbol dibutyrate (PDBu) or dioctanoyl glycerol (DiC8) was abolished by ethoxyresorufin, an inhibitor of the cytochrome P450-dependent monooxygenase pathway, but was unaffected by indomethacin or nordihydroguaiaretic acid, inhibitors of the cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways of the arachidonic acid cascade, respectively. Furthermore, each of the three monooxygenase products tested (20-HETE, 12(R)-HETE, or 11,12-DHT) caused a dose-dependent inhibition of the pump. The effect of DA, PTH, PDBu or DiC8, as well as that of 20-HETE was not altered when sodium entry was blocked with the amiloride analog ethylisopropyl amiloride or increased with nystatin. We conclude that short-term regulation of proximal tubule Na-K-ATPase activity by dopamine and parathyroid hormone occurs via the PLC-PKC signal transduction pathway and is mediated by cytochrome P450-dependent monooxygenase products of arachidonic acid metabolism, which may interact with the pump rather than alter sodium access to it.

Prodigiosin 25-C and metacycloprodigiosin were found to suppress PTH-stimulated pit formation by cultured osteoclasts on bone slices. They also inhibited the acidification of vacuolar organelles in intact osteoclastic cells. Since the acidic pH in these organelles is generated by the action of proton-pumping ATPases of the organelle, these results indicate that the proton-pumping activity of V-ATPase in osteoclastic cells is essential in bone resorption and that the inhibition of the acidification of vacuolar organelles by prodigiosins results in suppression of PTH-stimulated bone resorption.

Few studies have examined tubular function after subtotal nephrectomy (Nx) and conservative treatments. The effects of 70% and 80% Nx (associated with dietary phosphate restriction in the latter case) on the apical brush border membrane (BBM) enzymes 5'-nucleotidase, gamma glutamyl-transferase and alkaline-phosphatase, and one BBM Na-phosphate cotransporter (NaPi-2) were studied in rats after a six week period. Changes in activity and mRNA abundance of the BBM enzymes and in NaPi-2 protein and mRNA abundance were compared with changes in the distal markers of Na,K-ATPase activity and epidermal growth factor (EGF) production. The activity, but not the mRNA of BBM enzymes, was moderately reduced by the 70% Nx. Both the mRNA and activity of gamma glutamyl-transferase and alkaline-phosphatase were decreased in the 80% Nx, and the NaPi-2 mRNA, protein and Na,K-ATPase activities were also reduced. These effects (except for 5'nucleotidase and Na,K-ATPase) were partly reversed by phosphate restriction. Overproduction of EGF occurred after the 70% Nx, was blunted in the 80% Nx, and then partially restored by phosphate restriction. Aggravation of tubular alteration was associated with enhanced renal hyperplasia (increased DNA mass), reduced GFR and hyperphosphatemia, and high PTH levels, but reduced cAMP excretion. Improvement following phosphate restriction was associated with reduced hyperplasia and lowering of phosphatemia and PTH levels. These data demonstrate that Nx selectively affected BBM function through transcriptional changes that were partially reversed by phosphate restriction. Regulatory factors involved in these changes may include intracellular phosphate content and growth factors, but not the PTH effects that are impaired in chronic renal failure.
