Parathyroid hormone (PTH) decreases the transepithelial transport of Na+ in the proximal tubule, an action ascribed to PTH-inhibited apical Na(+)-H+ exchanger-dependent Na+ entry. We tested the possibility that PTH could also diminish Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase-dependent Na+ exit. To dissociate effects on Na+ entry, studies were performed in a suspension of rat proximal tubules by measuring nystatin-stimulated ouabain-inhibitable O2 consumption (QO2) and monensin-stimulated ouabain-sensitive 86Rb uptake in the absence or presence of bovine PTH-(1-34) fragment. PTH inhibited the percent nystatin-stimulated QO2 in a concentration-dependent manner, with maximal effect at 10(-10) M. PTH-increased cAMP formation was seen at doses higher than 10(-9) M and was maximal at 10(-7) M. Dibutyryl cAMP (10(-4) M) only partially reproduced the PTH action on QO2. Angiotensin II (10(-6) M) blunted the effect of 10(-7) M PTH on QO2, although it did not change 10(-7) M PTH-dependent cAMP generation. The analogues PTH-(3-34) and [Nle8,Nle18,Tyr34]PTH-(3-34)-amide mimicked the effects of PTH-(1-34) on QO2 but did not affect cAMP formation. Monensin-stimulated ouabain-sensitive 86Rb uptake was inhibited by PTH in a dose-dependent manner, with 10(-7) M PTH being maximally inhibitory. Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity was also decreased by PTH-(3-34) in a concentration-dependent manner, with maximal effect occurring at 10(-8) M. Agonist-dependent inhibition of Na+ pump was not due to a decrease of mitochondrial activity, because mitochondrial uncoupled QO2 rates were the same in control and PTH-treated tubules.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) has been shown to bind specifically to the beta subunit of the mitochondrial ATPase on nitrocellulose blots. We have now examined this interaction further, using intact mitochondria, submitochondrial particles, and the purified F1 ATPase. With intact mitochondria, 1 microM concentrations of PTH and its biologically active 1-34 fragment activate the ATPase about 3-fold. This effect was reduced to a 1.4-fold activation with 3-34 and 7-34 fragments of the hormone, and oxidized PTH gave no detectable activity. Activation could only be observed below pH 7. PTH had no significant effect on the activity of the purified enzyme or on submitochondrial particles. However, specific binding of an iodinated PTH analog, [Nle 8,18-Tyr 34] bPTH (1-34) amide, was found with submitochondrial particles and the purified ATPase. Binding affinity with the purified enzyme was about 10(-3) that of the plasma membrane receptor, and the molar stoichiometry was close to 1:1 (PTH:intact enzyme). With submitochondrial particles the affinity was about 10-fold higher than with the purified enzyme. This binding was further examined with PTH derivatives and fragments, and compared to that seen in the plasma membrane receptor. Oxidation of methionine 18 in PTH reduced the affinity about 50%, oxidation of methionine 8 reduced the affinity 95%, and oxidation of both methionines further decreased affinity in both membranes and submitochondrial particles. However, when compared to the native hormone, the 3-34 and 7-34 PTH fragments had much higher affinity for the submitochondrial particles than for the plasma membranes. PTH also reduced chemical crosslinking of the ATP analog, p-fluorosulfonyl benzoyl 5'-adenosine, to the alpha subunit of this enzyme, but did not alter labeling of the enzyme with 3'-O-(4'-benzoyl) benzoyl ATP, suggesting that the hormone binds near a regulatory nucleotide binding site. Direct chemical crosslinking of PTH to the beta-subunit of the enzyme was attained with a cleavable, photoactivate crosslinker, sulfosuccinimidyl 2-(p-azidosalicylamido) ethyl-1,3-dithiopropionate. The crosslinked protein was cleaved with cyanogen bromide and the labeled fragments were sequenced. The labeled fragments were found to be segments of the protein which have previously been implicated as being close to the noncatalytic ATP binding sites.

Regulation of the acidity of osteoclasts was determined in situ on the endocranial surfaces of mouse calvaria using acridine orange, a fluorescent weak base. Osteoclasts could be identified by large size, multiple nuclei, relatively small numbers of cells, and the way and the extent to which they took up the dye. Nonosteoclastic cells were stained mainly in their nuclei and occasionally in a few lysosomes surrounding their nuclei, which were uniformly single in nonosteoclasts. Nuclei in osteoclasts were also stained, but the staining of the nuclei was partially masked by the intensity and completeness of the staining of the cytoplasm. In some cells the cytoplasmic staining appeared to be in discrete granules, giving the cytoplasm a bright, frothy appearance. This fluorescence was present in both treated and untreated cells and aided in identifying the osteoclasts. Acridine orange fluorescence at 624 nm intensity, and hence, osteoclast acidity, was increased by parathyroid hormone and prostaglandin E2. Parathyroid hormone-induced increases in acidity were inhibited by calcitonin, cortisol, sodium fluoride, and prostaglandin E2. Furthermore, osteoclast acidity was dependent largely or partially on maintenance of K+ and Na+ gradients, patent Na+ channels, chloride-bicarbonate exchange, and H+, K+-ATPase. These findings demonstrate that osteoclasts become acidified by mechanisms similar to those occurring in gastric parietal cells.

The effect of parathyroid hormone on erythrocytes from newborn and adult rabbits was studied in relation to the fragility pattern in hypotonic salt solutions and the activities of Ca- and Mg-dependent ATPases. Median osmotic fragility of red blood cells from newborn rabbits was significantly higher than in red blood cells from mature rabbits. Parathyroid hormone increased the mean osmotic fragility of red blood cells from newborn and adult rabbits, but showed the greater effect on those from newborns. Similarly, the hormone stimulated to a much greater extent the Ca-ATPase, but not the Mg-ATPase in red blood cells from the newborn rabbits, in comparison with red blood cells from adult rabbits. Parathyroid hormone, which is greatly elevated in the blood of patients with chronic renal failure, may be one cause for the anaemia seen in these patients, and its effect, which is mediated by Ca-ATPase activity, is stronger on young red blood cells. Significant morphological changes in the young red blood cells, observed by scanning electron microscopy, were caused by parathyroid hormone.

The effect of parathyroid hormone at concentrations found in uremic patients on erythrocytes (RBC) from newborn and adult rabbits was studied in relation to the fragility pattern in hypotonic salt solutions and the activities of Ca- and Mg-dependent ATPases. Median osmotic fragility of RBC from newborn rabbits was significantly lower than in mature rabbits. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) stimulated to a greater extent the mean osmotic fragility in RBC from newborn rabbits, than in those from adults. Similarly, the hormone stimulated to a much greater extent the Ca-ATPase but not the Mg-ATPase in RBC from the newborn rabbits, in comparison to those from adult rabbits. PTH, which is greatly elevated in the blood of patients with chronic renal failure, may be one cause of the anemia seen in these patients, and its effect, which is mediated by Ca-ATPase activity, is stronger on young RBC. There were significant morphological changes in the young RBC caused by PTH, as seen with scanning electron microscopy.

Osteoblasts and osteocytes in adult thyroparathyroidectomized (T(x)PT(x)) rats fed a low calcium vitamin D-free diet and given parathyroid (PTH) had ultrastructural evidence of increased activity compared to controls. Osteoblasts in PTH-treated rats had prominent rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatuses and large mitochondria. The plasma membranes were extensively convoluted and associated with initial loci of mineralization in osteoid. Osteocytes contained increased rough endoplasmic reticulum, well-developed Golgi apparatuses and large mitochondria. Lacunar walls were roughened, but osteocytic osteolysis was not observed. Osteoclasts were encountered more frequently in PTH-treated rats, but their ultrastructural features were similar to those of controls. Osteoblasts and osteocytes in controls appeared to be inactive cells lining quiescent mineral surfaces. Parathyroid hormone treatment increased serum calcium levels and urinary hydroxyproline excretion, indicating enhanced resorption of bone mineral and matrix. Bone alkaline phosphatase and calcium-adenosine triphosphatase activities were elevated after PTH treatment and may be related to increased calcium transport by bone cells. These findings were interpreted to suggest that PTH mobilizes bone mineral by osteoclasis and increases metabolic activity of the osteocyte-osteoblast pump.

Chlorpromazine (3 x 10(-4)M) prevents the stimulation of adenyl cyclase activity in thyroid membranes produced by thyrotropin and prostaglandin, ACTH stimulation of adenyl cyclase in adrenal tissue, and glucagon- and epinephrine-stimulation of adenyl cyclase activity in liver. Baseline activity is unaffected. Parathyroid hormone stimulation of kidney preparations was not inhibited under these conditions. At chlorpromazine concentrations >3 x 10(-4)M F(-)-stimulated cyclase activity of thyroid and adrenal tissue was increased. Other phenothiazines, trifluoperazine, and prochlorperazine, have similar effects on thyrotropin and F(-)-stimulated cyclase activity of thyroid. Na(+)- K(+)-dependent ATPase of thyroid is also inhibited by chlorpromazine. Since thymol causes a similar dissociation of hormone- and F(-)-stimulated adenyl cyclase, it is concluded that the surface properties of these agents best account for their effects on adenyl cyclase.

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) release from parathyroid cells in vitro was found to be stimulated by the presence of extracellular lithium ions through a specific secretory response which was comparable to that elicited by low extracellular Ca2+. Li+ (5-40 mM) caused a dramatic increase in the basal PTH secretory rate (up to 2.5-fold), as well as a further enhancement of the low Ca2+-stimulated PTH secretory rate (up to 0.5-fold). Cellular mediators commonly implicated in hormone release from endocrine cells, such as Ca2+ influx, cAMP, and changes in the activity of (Na+, K+) ATPase, were not involved in Li+-stimulated PTH release. The PTH secretory response induced by Li+ was fully maintained in the virtual absence of external Ca2+. Parathyroid cellular cAMP levels were unchanged in buffers varied with respect to both Li+ and Ca2+ and remained constant throughout the time course of Li+ uptake. Ouabain, in concentrations sufficient to block Na+, K+ activity, was also without effect on PTH release elicited by Li+. To identify the site and possible effectors of this stimulatory effect, experimental protocols were devised to modulate the level of intracellular Li+ at constant external Li+ concentrations. These results showed that the enhancement of PTH secretion by Li+ was independent of a 3-fold variation in intracellular Li+, but was directly related to the external Li+ concentration. This and previous evidence suggest that the regulation of PTH secretion by both lithium and calcium ions does not require their transmembrane influx but occurs instead in the parathyroid plasma membrane.

A fraction of enriched plasma membranes from bovine parathyroid cells has been prepared by differential centrifugation. Biochemical characterization shows that this fraction has a specific activity enrichment of 7.2-fold in ouabain-sensitive Na+-K+ ATPase, and 3.5-fold in 5'-nucleotidase. Less than 4% of the total mitochondria and lysosomes are present within the plasma membranes, while microsomal contamination accounts for 14% of total specific activity. Parathyroid hormone radioimmunoassay also reveals the presence of some secretory granules within the plasma membrane fraction. The characteristic morphological aspect of the unusual surface membrane is shown by freeze-fracture electron microscopy. In the enriched pellets, vesicles identified as having a plasma membrane origin have variable sizes, and 50% show an inside-out conformation. Even though the plasma membrane fraction described herein is not absolutely free from contamination by other subcellular components, this protocol represents the first attempt to purify surface membrane from parathyroid tissue and provide the starting material for understanding, at a molecular level, the properties of extracellular Ca2+ regulation and its coupling with secretion of parathyroid hormone.

To show adenylate cyclase (AC) activity in rat calvaria, it is necessary first to decalcify the specimen. In hard tissues, several enzymes (adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase), alkaline phosphatase (APase), adenylate cyclase (AC) and perhaps pyrophosphatase (PPiase) are able to degrade adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The presence of sodium fluoride (NaF) in the incubation medium reduces the quantity of precipitate formed, compared to that observed using a NaF-free incubation medium. Levamisole, used under the same conditions, gives similar results. Possibly NaF inhibits pyrophosphohydrolase and/or phosphatases which mask the AC activity. Adenylylimidophosphate (AMP-PNP), which is a specific AC substrate, confirms the results obtained with ATP. AC activity is demonstrated cytochemically in the osteoblast and preosteoblast membranes, at the junction between two osteoblasts and along the cytoplasmic processes of the osteoblast which penetrate into the osteoid matrix. The osteocytes never show a precipitate, except those which present some osteoblastic features and then only on the membrane facing the osteogenic layer. An intracellular reaction is also evident and is discussed. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) does not reveal new sites of AC activity but increases the quantity of precipitate observed.
