Parathyroid hormone, prostaglandin E2, and prostacyclin activate cAMP-dependent protein kinase in osteoblast-rich normal rat calvarial cells and in clonal rat osteogenic sarcoma cells of osteoblastic phenotype. The present study was undertaken to determine the activation of the enzyme in relation to cellular cAMP concentrations at increasing doses of the three hormones and also to test that the activity ratio measurement of the enzyme (ratio of the activity in the absence of cAMP to the activity in the presence of excess cAMP) was a true reflection of intracellular activation of the enzyme. With each hormone, using either normal or malignant osteoblasts, activation of the enzyme took place at hormone concentrations lower than those required to produce detectable changes in cAMP concentrations in the incubations. Stimulation of activity was abolished by addition of the heat-stable inhibitor of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, indicating that activation was of cAMP-dependent protein kinase alone. To demonstrate that protein kinase activation occurred intracellularly and not during sample preparation, charcoal was added at the time of cell disruption to absorb free cAMP. Under these conditions, no change was observed in the concentration of bovine parathyroid hormone required to cause activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Finally, addition of purified cAMP-dependent protein kinase type I or type II to treated cells at the time of lysis did not result in significant activation of added isoenzyme, except at hormone concentrations sufficient to increase the total cAMP concentration of incubations. It is concluded that activity ratio measurement reflects the intracellular state of activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase in the osteoblast-like cells treated by hormones and, furthermore, that only a fraction of the maximally generated cAMP is necessary for full enzyme activation.

Sera from rat bearing tumors induced by inoculation of FBJ murine osteogenic sarcoma virus (FBJ-MSV) nonproducer rat cells precipitate two proteins with molecular weights of 55,000 (p55) and 39,000 (p39) from FBJ-MSV-transformed cells. These proteins cannot be precipitated from uninfected cells or cells transformed by other strains of murine sarcoma virus, nor can they be precipitated by sera specific for the viral structural proteins. A methionine tryptic peptide mapping analysis showed that p55 and p39 have little or no homology and that they are not related to the helper virus gag and env gene products. p55 could also be detected among the in vitro translation products of 70S RNA from FBJ murine leukemia virus plus FBJ-MSV virions but not among those from FBJ murine leukemia virus alone. This suggests that p55 is encoded by the FBJ-MSV genome, whereas p39, which was not detected among the in vitro translation products, may not be virus encoded. Another difference between p55 and p39 is that p55 is phosphorylated, with most of the phosphate on a serine residue(s), whereas p39 is phosphorylated to a much lesser extent, if at all. No protein kinase activity was associated with p55 and p39 immune complexes under standard conditions. Our data suggest that p55 is a strong candidate for the FBJ-MSV oncogene product.

The pattern of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase isoenzyme response to acute hormonal activation has been studied in cultured cells derived from rat osteogenic sarcoma and osteoblast-rich cells grown from newborn rat calvaria. Using multiple small anion exchange columns and a batch elution technique, a rapid method of separating the isoenzymes of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase was developed and the acute activation by parathyroid hormone and prostaglandin E2 of each isoenzyme was studied. Activation was rapid, being detectable at 5 s, maximal at 15-30 s, and persisting for up to 6 h. Both hormones showed a dose-dependent activation of each isoenzyme in both cell types, but the patterns of response differed. Parathyroid hormone predominantly stimulated isoenzyme I in the clonal osteogenic sarcoma cells but showed equivalent activation of each isoenzyme in calvarial cells. Prostaglandin E2 also predominantly stimulated isoenzyme I in the malignant cells, whereas in the calvarial strain there was a major effect on isoenzyme II with almost no stimulation of isoenzyme I. Half-maximal stimulation of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase in the malignant cell strain was achieved for both hormones at concentrations an order of magnitude lower than those in the normal strain. These studies demonstrate selective activation of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase isoenzymes by hormones. Furthermore, the nature of the response differs between the normal and the corresponding neoplastic cell types for the same hormone stimulus.

Certain metabolic properties of hormonally responsive osteogenic sarcoma cells derived from a transplantable rat tumor have been compared with those of related normal rat bone cells. All studies were carried out on cells grown in monolayer culture. Normal rat bone cells derived by repeated collagenase/trypsin digestion of newborn rat calvaria. Bone cells selected for comparison were thought to be osteoblast-like, as judged by enrichment of alkaline phosphatase and adenylate cyclase responsiveness to parathyroid hormone and prostaglandin E2. The adenylate cyclases of the two cell strains were similarly stimulated by a range of prostanoids and their metabolites and analogs. Morphology showed the two cell strains to be similar; the only obvious difference was a multilayering of cells in the sarcoma cultures, while the normal cultures showed abundant extracellular fibril formation which was not seen in the tumor cells. Investigation of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase isoenzymes showed the presence of two forms in both cell types, one eluting at a low salt concentration and the other at a high salt concentration. There was approximately twice the amount of the first isoenzyme compared to the second isoenzyme. The results indicate the usefulness of the two cell strains to elucidate further the molecular mechanisms of action of parathyroid hormone and prostaglandins.

We report here that osteoblasts and osteoblast-like osteosarcoma cells express PMCA1b, an alternatively spliced transcript of plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase. Synthetic oligonucleotide pairs were designed based upon unique regions of the cDNA encoding known PMCA isoforms (PMCA1-3) and used as primers in PCR-mediated amplification of cDNA synthesized from ROS 17/2.8 osteosarcoma cell RNA. A product was observed only when PMCA1-specific primers were present; no products were seen with PMCA2 or PMCA3 primers unless cDNA synthesized from rat brain RNA was present. Examination of the cDNA encoding the C terminus of PMCA1 from ROS 17/2.8 cells revealed that the mRNA is spliced to yield the PMCA1b isoform, a Ca(2+)-ATPase containing a consensus phosphorylation site for cAMP-dependent protein kinase A and a modified calmodulin binding domain. PMCA1b was also detected in UMR-106-01 osteosarcoma cells and unpassaged primary rat calvarial osteoblasts. These results suggest that the regulation of osteoblast function by agents that act via cAMP-mediated pathways may involve alterations in the activity of the plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase.

This study characterizes the actions of insulin and parathyroid hormone (PTH) on the glucose transport system in the rat osteogenic sarcoma cell line UMR 106-01, which expresses a number of features of the osteoblast phenotype. Using [1,2-3H]2-deoxyglucose (2-DOG) as a label, UMR 106-01 cells were shown to possess a glucose transport system which was enhanced by insulin. In contrast, PTH influenced glucose transport in a biphasic manner with a stimulatory effect at 1 h and a more potent inhibitory effect at 16 h on basal and insulin-stimulated 2-DOG transport. To explore the mechanism of PTH action, a direct agonist of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) was tested. 8-Bromo-cAMP had no acute stimulatory effect but inhibited basal and insulin-stimulated 2-DOG transport at 16 h. This result suggested that the prolonged, but not the acute, effect of PTH was mediated by the generation of cAMP. Further studies with the cell line UMR 4-7, a UMR 106-01 clone stably transfected with an inducible mutant inactive regulatory subunit of PKA, confirmed that the inhibitory but not the stimulatory effect of PTH was mediated by the PKA pathway. Northern blot data indicated that the prolonged inhibitory effects of PTH and 8-bromo-cAMP on glucose transport were likely to be mediated in part by reduction in the levels of GLUT1 (HepG2/brain glucose transporter) mRNA.

Osteoblast-like cells, such as UMR 106 osteosarcoma cells, are known to be growth stimulated by growth factors such as EGF. In contrast, factors such as PTH and prostaglandin E2 inhibit their growth. The exact signal transduction mechanisms by which these latter factors act remain to be elucidated. Here we show that simultaneous treatment of UMR 106 cells with EGF and PTH-(1-34) resulted in a level of DNA synthesis intermediate between the levels of treatment with epidermal growth factor (EGF) and PTH alone. This correlated with the interference of PTH-(1-34) early in an EGF receptor-linked signal transduction pathway, i.e. the EGF-induced activation of p42 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase. This effect was also found for prostaglandin E2, and could be potentiated by the phosphodiesterase inhibitor isobutyl-methylxanthine and mimicked by forskolin and 8-bromo-cAMP. There was a strict correlation between the lowest concentration of PTH-(1-34) required to enhance protein kinase A (PKA) activity and that required to inhibit MAP kinase activation, whereas saturating amounts of PTH-(3-34), a PTH analog unable to elevate PKA activity, had no effect. Lysophosphatidic acid- and 12-O-tetracanoylphorbol-13-acetate-induced MAP kinase activation were also inhibited by PTH-(1-34) and forskolin in these cells. Similar effects were seen on basic fibroblast growth factor-mediated MAP kinase activation in ROS 17/2.8 cells, indicating that this mechanism is a general feature of PTH in osteosarcoma cells. The inhibition of this mitogenic pathway through activation of PKA might play an important role in PTH-induced changes in proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts.

The rat osteosarcoma cell line UMR-106 has an osteoblast-like phenotype and possesses parathyroid hormone (PTH)-responsive dual signal transduction systems [adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate-dependent protein kinase (PKA) and calcium-protein kinase C (Ca-PKC)]. These cells transport inorganic phosphate (Pi) by a Na(+)-dependent carrier under stimulation by PTH. The present study aimed to clarify PTH-responsive signal transduction mechanisms in the regulation of Na(+)-dependent Pi transport by PTH in UMR-106 cells. Exposure of these cells to 10(-7) mol/l PTH induced a significant increase in Pi uptake within 30 min of incubation and it became maximal after 2 h. Parathyroid hormone (10(-9)-10(-7) mol/l) stimulated Pi uptake dose dependently. Activation of PKC by 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) also increased Pi uptake in time- and dose-dependent manners similar to PTH. In contrast, neither PKA activation by 10(-4) mol/l forskolin or by 10(-4) mol/l dibutyryladenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate nor calcium ionophore treatment with 10(-7) mol/l A23187 or with 10(-7) mol/l ionomycin during 3-h incubations affect Pi uptake, except its increase by 10(-4) mol/l forskolin at a 3-h incubation. These agents had no influence on Pi uptake even in combined treatments with TPA. The PTH-induced increase in Pi uptake was abolished almost completely by pretreating cells with PKC inhibitors, 1-(5-isoquinolinylsulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine dihydrochloride (H-7) (50 mumol/l) or staurosporin (10 and 50 nmol/l), and by down-regulating PKC with a prolonged TPA treatment.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

We previously demonstrated that the [Ca2+]i response to PTH is heterogeneous in single UMR-106-01 osteogenic sarcoma cells. To verify whether response heterogeneity is a universal feature of PTH signal transduction, cAMP production was monitored in monolayer cultures of UMR-106-01 cells and human trabecular bone osteoblasts (HOB) using the cAMP-sensitive fluorescent indicator FlCRhR. FlCRhR was microinjected into single cells, and the 500-530/> 560 nm fluorescence ratio was monitored by confocal laserscanning video imaging as a measure of cAMP concentration ([cAMP]). Virtually all UMR-106-01 cells exposed to bovine PTH(1-34) (10(-7) M) exhibited an increase in intracellular [cAMP], with an average fluorescence ratio change of 145 +/- 17% of baseline (n = 15), corresponding to nearly maximal dissociation of protein kinase A. In the continued presence of the hormone (10(-7) M), [cAMP] remained elevated for at least 30 minutes. This effect was accompanied by a slow translocation of the fluorescein-labeled catalytic subunit of protein kinase A from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. In contrast, PTH(1-34) caused no detectable increase in [cAMP] in HOB cells, although PGE2 (3 x 10(-6) M) stimulation was able to increase the FlCRhR ratio (154 +/- 27%, n = 10). The truncated fragment PTH(2-34) was only 67% as potent at PTH(1-34), but deletion of the first two amino acids at the N terminus abolished the hormone's ability to stimulate cAMP production in UMR-106-01 cells. Brief exposure to 10(-7) M of either PTH(3-34) or PTH(7-34) did not affect the amplitude of the fluorescence ratio change induced by equimolar doses of PTH(1-34). Thus, in osteoblast-like cells stimulated with PTH, the [cAMP] response is much more homogeneous from cell to cell than the [Ca2+]i response.

Osteoclast-mediated bone resorption plays a crucial role in osseous remodeling. Osteoblasts are important regulators of this activity, in part through their ability to produce osteoclast-regulating soluble factors such as interleukin-6 (IL-6). IL-11 is a newly appreciated pleotropic cytokine whose spectrum of biological activities overlaps with that of IL-6. As a result, we hypothesized that osteoblasts are an important skeletal source of this cytokine. To test this hypothesis, we characterized the IL-11 production of unstimulated and stimulated SaOS-2 human osteosarcoma cells. Unstimulated cells produced modest amounts of IL-11. The osteotropic agents recombinant IL-1 (0.25-5 ng/ml), transforming growth factor-beta 1 (0.1-10 ng/ml), PTH (10(-8)-10(-11) M), and PTH-related peptide ((10(-8)-10-11 M) further increased SaOS-2 cell IL-11 protein production and messenger RNA accumulation. These stimulatory effects were dose and time dependent, and the IL-11 that was produced was bioactive, as demonstrated by its ability to stimulate the proliferation of T10D plasmacytoma cells. The protein kinase-C activator, 12-O-Tetra-decanoylphorbol 13-acetate, and a variety of cAMP agonists [forskolin, prostaglandin E1, prostaglandin E2, and (Bu)2AMP] also stimulated osteoblast IL-11 protein production and messenger RNA accumulation. In contrast, recombinant IL-4, recombinant interferon-gamma, and endotoxin did not stimulate SaOS-2 cells in a similar fashion. Importantly, the ability to produce IL-11 was not a unique property of SaOS-2 cells, because primary human trabecular bone osteoblasts also produced significant amounts of bioactive IL-11 when stimulated with transforming growth factor-beta 1. These studies demonstrate that appropriately stimulated human osteoblasts and osteoblast-like cells are potent producers of IL-11 and suggest that osteoblast-derived IL-11 may be an important component of the cytokine network mediating osteoblast-osteoclast communication in normal and pathological bone remodeling.
