A photoreactive derivative of a sulfur-free bovine parathyroid hormone (PTH) analogue, [Nle8,N-epsilon-(4-azido-2-nitrophenyl)Lys13,Nle18,Tyr34]bovine PTH-(1-34)-NH2 (NAP-NlePTH), was purified from the products of the reaction of [Nle8,Nle18,Tyr34]bovine PTH-(1-34)-NH2 (NlePTH) with 4-fluoro-3-nitro-phenylazide and was used to identify binding components of the PTH receptor in clonal rat osteosarcoma cells (ROS 17/2.8). The purified analogue, NAP-NlePTH, is a fully active agonist in three different ROS 17/2.8 cell bioassays: 1) specific binding to saturable PTH receptors; 2) stimulation of cyclic AMP accumulation; and 3) inhibition of cellular alkaline phosphatase activity; this analogue gave dose response curves parallel to and 25-33% as potent as its parent molecule, NlePTH. Radioiodinated NAP-NlePTH (125I-labeled NAP-NlePTH) retained maximal receptor-binding potency. Radioligand saturation studies in intact cells showed that the Kd of PTH receptors for the photoligand was slightly less than that for 125I-labeled NlePTH (2.8 and 0.8 nM, respectively), but that the Bmax was essentially identical for both radioligands (8 fmol/10(5) cells). Photoaffinity labeling of ROS 17/2.8 cells revealed several 125I-labeled macromolecular components by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. One predominant 125I-labeled band, having an apparent Mr of 80,000 daltons (including Mr = 4,347 ligand; hereafter referred to as the Mr = 80,000 protein), was consistently demonstrated in both reducing and nonreducing conditions. Its labeling was completely inhibited by coincubation with NlePTH (10 nM) at 26-fold molar excess to the photoligand, but not by biologically inactive PTH fragments or unrelated hormone. Labeling of several other macromolecular components persisted in the presence of NlePTH (1 microM). Only the labeling of the Mr = 80,000 protein showed saturation kinetics for photoaffinity labeling; the dose of 125I-labeled NAP-NlePTH (0.8 nM) to half-saturate labeling of the Mr = 80,000 protein was close to the Kd (2.8 nM) of specific binding of the photoligand to receptors in intact ROS 17/2.8 cells. Pretreatment of the cells with NlePTH and dexamethasone led to the predicted proportional decrease or increase, respectively, in labeling of the Mr = 80,000 protein. Our data, using a highly purified photoactive derivative of PTH, having carefully defined chemical and biological properties, show a plasma membrane component of Mr = 80,000 in ROS 17/2.8 cells that possesses the affinity, binding capacity, and physiological characteristics of the PTH receptor.

Synthetic peptides corresponding to the amino-terminal region of the human parathyroid hormone-related peptide (hPTHrp) were used to characterize the interaction of hPTHrp with parathyroid hormone (PTH) receptors in clonal rat osteosarcoma cells (ROS 17/2.8). Both hPTHrp-(1-34) and [Tyr40]hPTHrp-(1-40) showed full agonist activity in stimulating cyclic AMP accumulation in ROS cells; human PTHrp-(1-34) was approximately 2.5-fold as potent as hPTH-(1-34). Both [Tyr-40]hPTHrp-(3-40) and hPTH-(3-34) inhibited the cyclic AMP increase induced by either hPTHrp or PTH with parallel dose-inhibition curves. Binding to intact ROS cells of a 125I-labeled [Tyr40]hPTHrp-(1-40) (125I-[Tyr40]hPTHrp-(1-40)) which retains full biological activity was time- and temperature-dependent and reversible. Binding of 125I-[Tyr40]hPTHrp-(1-40) and 125I-labeled [Nle8, Nle18, Tyr34]bovine PTH-(1-34)NH2 to ROS cells was competed for, to the same extent and with the comparable potency, by either unlabeled hPTHrp or PTH peptides. The binding capacity and affinity of receptors in ROS cells were strikingly similar for hPTHrp and PTH. Affinity cross-linking with either radioligand resulted in high affinity, specific labeling of an apparently identical macromolecule centering at Mr = 80,000, which was detected in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in both reducing and nonreducing conditions. The data indicate that hPTHrp and PTH, their amino-terminal fragments at least, interact with the identical receptors with regard to affinity, capacity, specificity, and physicochemical characteristics in osteoblastic ROS 17/2.8 cells.

We have investigated the covalent modification of the proteins encoded by the murine fos proto-oncogene (c-fos) and that of the corresponding gene product of FBJ murine osteosarcoma virus (v-fos). Both proteins are posttranslationally processed in the cell, resulting in forms with lower electrophoretic mobilities than that of the initial translation product on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels. Treatment with alkaline phosphatase indicates that most, if not all, of this electrophoretic shift is due to phosphoesterification of both proteins. These phosphoryl groups stoichiometrically modify the v-fos and c-fos proteins on serine residues and turn over rapidly in vivo in the presence of protein kinase inhibitors (half-life, less than 15 min). Direct quantitative comparison of steady-state labeling studies with L-[35S]methionine and [32P]phosphate reveals that the c-fos protein is four- to fivefold more highly phosphorylated than the v-fos protein is. Comparison of tryptic fragments from [32P]phosphate-labeled proteins indicates that although the two proteins have several tryptic phosphopeptides in common, the c-fos protein contains unique major tryptic phosphopeptides that the v-fos protein lacks. These unique sites of c-fos phosphorylation have been tentatively localized to the carboxy-terminal 20 amino acid residues of the protein. Phosphorylation of the c-fos protein, but not the v-fos protein, can be stimulated at least fivefold in vivo by the addition of either 12-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate or serum. This increase in the steady-state degree of phosphorylation of c-fos appears to be independent of protein kinase C since phosphorylation is Ca2+ and diacylglycerol independent. The possible role of phosphorylation of these proteins in cellular transformation is discussed.

A new cytokine has been recognized in the conditioned media (CM) of freshly isolated acute myelocytic leukemia cells, cultured with 12-0-tetradecanayl phorbol acetate (TPA) 10(-8)M. The fraction with 70,000 MW was separated from CM by ammonium sulfate precipitation, ion-exchange cation and anion chromatography, and Sephadex G-200 gel filtration. It was a fibroblast growth inhibitor (FGI). This substance stopped fetal and skin (MALME 3 line) fibroblast propagation. The cytostatic effect was reversible on removal of FGI. At the same time, FGI did not inhibit macrophage proliferation. The fraction stimulated formation of monocytic and granulocytic colonies altered the phenotype of human U-2 osteosarcoma cells grown from epithelial-like to fibroblast-like cells, and stimulated differentiation of leukemic cells along the macrophage path. Some cells of promyelocytic leukemia line HL-60, grown in the presence of FGI, were stimulated to differentiate and some underwent lysis. The response to FGI of cells from different patients varied.

Cultured rat osteosarcoma (UMR106) alkaline phosphatase was purified to apparent homogeneity by sequential application of polyclonal antibody affinity, DEAE-cellulose, and Sepharose CL-6B chromatography. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the enzyme preparation treated with sodium dodecyl sulfate and mercaptoethanol showed the presence of a dominant band (using silver staining) corresponding to a molecular weight of 80,000. The amino acid composition was similar to those of various alkaline phosphatases. The N-terminal amino acid sequence was determined as follows: Phe-Val-Pro-Glu-Lys-Glu-Lys- Asp-Pro-Ser-Tyr-Trp-Arg-Gln-Gln-Ala-Gln-Glu-Thr-Leu- Lys-Asn-Ala-Leu-Lys-?-Gln-Lys-?-Asn-Val-Asn-Ala-Lys.

The molecular nature of an osteosarcoma-associated antigen was investigated with the three monoclonal antibodies Ost6 (immunoglobulin (IgG1), Ost7 (IgG1), and Ost15 (IgG2a), which selectively react with frozen sections of osteosarcoma and chondrosarcoma tissues. When tested with a panel of 41 human cell lines in the mixed hemadsorption assay, the antibodies reacted similarly with three of six osteosarcomas, one choriocarcinoma, one teratoma, and one osteoblast-like culture, but failed to react with 32 lines of normal and other tumor cell types. Immunoprecipitation plus sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)--polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and sequential immunoprecipitation studies revealed that in [35S]methionine- or [14C]glucosamine-labelled osteosarcoma cells the three antibodies detected a single glycoprotein, with an apparent molecular mass of 86 kilodaltons (kDa), which was not affected by reducing conditions. Tunicamycin treatment and pulse-chase experiments showed glycosylation of this molecule to be N-linked; it arose from a 54-kDa polypeptide precursor. Alkaline phosphatase activity was detected in the material rich in 86-kDa molecules that was immunoprecipitated from serologically reactive cell lines with each antibody. These antibodies also cross-reacted with two isoenzymes of alkaline phosphatase (strongly with the liver and bone, and moderately with the placental isoenzyme), but not with the intestinal form.

A phosphorylated glycoprotein was purified from the mixture of proteins extracted by demineralization of rat bone with 0.5 M EDTA in 4 M guanidinium chloride. A high level of purity for the preparation was indicated by a single band on sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-gradient gel electrophoresis, sedimentation equilibrium ultracentrifugal data, and by automated Edman degradation results. The molecular weight of the phosphoprotein was shown to be about 44,000 by sedimentation equilibrium analyses in 4 M guanidinium chloride, even though an Mr of 75,000 was obtained by 5-15% SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Subsequent analysis by 15% SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis gave an Mr of 45,000. Analytical data showed that the protein contained 16.6% carbohydrate, possibly including 1 N-linked oligosaccharide and 5-6 O-linked oligosaccharides. The aspartic acid- and glutamic acid-rich protein contained about 300 amino acid residues including 1 phosphothreonine and 12 phosphoserine residues. Alkaline beta-elimination/NaBH4 reduction data showed that the phosphate obtained by complete acid hydrolysis prior to amino acid analysis was equivalent to the phosphate subject to alkaline beta-elimination. In this experiment, the losses of serine plus threonine exceeded the amount of phosphate liberated by 5-6 residues/protein. These serine and threonine residues probably represent O-linked oligosaccharides, since the protein contained about this number of N-acetyl-galactosamine residues. That the phosphoprotein is synthesized and secreted by osteoblast-like cells was shown with cultures of clonal rat osteosarcoma cells. After pulsing with 32PO4 the proteins secreted into the medium were precipitated with trichloroacetic acid and the radiolabeled proteins were immunoadsorbed. A protein migrating in the same position, on 5-15% SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (i.e. with an Mr = 75,000) and on 15% gels (Mr = 45,000), as the phosphoprotein obtained from bone could be specifically immunoprecipitated.

Alkaline phosphatase (AP) was purified to over 90% homogeneity from rat osteosarcoma by acetone precipitation followed by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, Sephacryl S-200, and hydroxyapatite. The purified enzyme had a specific activity of 759 units/mg protein at its optimal pH (10.5), and a Km of 0.8 mM for p-nitrophenylphosphate. The enzyme's apparent subunit molecular mass on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was 82,000 Da. The heat-inactivation profile and homoarginine inhibition were characteristic of the bone-liver-kidney AP isoenzyme. Monoclonal and polyclonal anti-AP antibodies were prepared and characterized. Polyclonal rabbit antiserum quantitatively precipitated the activity from purified AP preparations and tissue extracts but did not inhibit AP catalytic activity. This antiserum was almost 10-fold less active against heat-inactivated enzyme when tested in a competition assay using 125I-AP. Two distinct monoclonal antibodies were each partly effective in immunoprecipitating AP when tested individually; however, together they precipitated over 90% of the AP activity.

A mouse monoclonal antibody raised against rat osteosarcoma alkaline phosphatase (AP) was covalently coupled to protein A-Sepharose and used to purify this enzyme from preparations of rat osteosarcoma, calvaria, kidney, and placenta in a single-step procedure. The tissue-specific isoenzymes purified in this manner showed identity in the immunodiffusion reaction with a polyclonal anti-AP antibody, but differed in apparent molecular weight and degree of polydispersity on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels. Treatment with N-glycanase abolished these differences, yielding proteins with an apparent molecular weight of 52,000 Da and identical V8 protease digestion patterns. Alkaline phosphatase from these tissues showed no significant difference in amino acid composition and identity in the first 20 N-terminal amino acids. These findings provide structural evidence which supports the hypothesis that the tissue-specific alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes share a common protein sequence subject to different glycosylation pattern.

Osteoporosis is a known complication of diabetes mellitus, suggesting a role for insulin in bone homeostasis. We studied insulin receptors and insulin action in the osteoblast-like rat osteogenic sarcoma cell line ROS 17/2.8. These cells share many common features with the osteoblast, such as 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 receptors, PTH receptors, and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3-induced modulation of alkaline phosphatase activity and osteocalcin. Competition binding studies revealed high affinity insulin receptors, with an ED50 for insulin of 1 nM. The receptors were highly specific for insulin, with 60% inhibition of insulin binding by an antireceptor antibody, no competition by epidermal growth factor, and an ED50 of 300 nM for proinsulin. Steady state maximal insulin binding was obtained by 40 min at 37 C, and insulin degradation, as measured by trichloroacetic acid solubility, was 1%/h at 37 C. ROS cells readily internalized insulin, and under steady state binding conditions at 37 C, 56% of the cell-associated radioactivity consisted of intracellular material. Chloroquine (100 microM) inhibited intracellular processing of insulin, leading to a 300% increase in cell-associated insulin by 2 h (37 C). Photoaffinity labeling of the insulin receptor with the photosensitive analog of insulin, B2 (2-nitro-4-azidophenyl-acetyl)des-pheB1-insulin, followed by solubilization and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, revealed specific bands of 125K and 430K mol wt under reducing and nonreducing conditions, respectively. Thus, the structure of insulin receptors in ROS cells appears comparable to that of insulin receptors of known target tissues. Insulin action was also examined. Insulin did not stimulate [2-3H]deoxyglucose uptake or [1-14C]leucine incorporation into protein. In contrast, physiological concentrations of insulin inhibited alkaline phosphatase activity in nonconfluent cells. After exposure to insulin for 24 h, alkaline phosphatase activity was decreased compared to basal by 39.5% and 50% with 5 and 50 ng/ml insulin, respectively. In conclusion, ROS cells bind insulin to specific receptors that are similar to insulin receptors on other target tissues; receptors internalize insulin, which is then processed through a chloroquine-sensitive pathway; insulin does not affect membrane substrate transport; and insulin does inhibit the activity of an enzyme that is important in bone metabolism. ROS cells represent a model for studying insulin effects on bone.
