Tamoxifen inhibits bone resorption by disrupting calmodulin-dependent processes. Since tamoxifen inhibits protein kinase C in other cells, we compared the effects of tamoxifen and the phorbol ester, phorbol myristate acetate, on osteoclast activity. Phorbol esters stimulate bone resorption and calmodulin levels four-fold (k0.5 = 0.1–0.3 µM). In contrast, tamoxifen inhibited osteoclast activity ~60% with an IC50 of 1.5 µM, had no apparent effect on protein kinase C activity in whole-cell lysates, and reduced protein kinase Cα recovered by immunoprecipitation 75%. Phorbol esters stimulated resorption in a time-dependent manner that was closely correlated with a similar-fold increase in calmodulin. Protein kinase Cα, β, δ, ε, and ζ were all down-regulated in response to phorbol ester treatment. Tamoxifen and trifluoperazine inhibited PMA-dependent increases in bone resorption and calmodulin by 85 ± 10%. Down-regulation of protein kinase C isoforms by phorbol esters suggests that the observed increases in bone resorption and calmodulin levels are most likely due to a mechanism independent of protein kinase C and dependent on calmodulin. In conclusion, the data suggest that protein kinase C negatively regulates calmodulin expression and support the hypothesis that the effects of both phorbol esters and tamoxifen on osteoclast activity is mediated by calmodulin.Key words: osteoclast, calmodulin, tamoxifen, osteoporosis, protein kinase C.

Non-transformed rat intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) lines were used to study the action of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1,25(OH)2D) in the intestine. The capacity of 1,25(OH)2D to increase the expression of the cytochrome P450 component of the vitamin D 24-hydroxylase (CYP24) was determined in IEC-6 and IEC-18 cell lines. In IEC-6 cells, which are derived from crypt cells isolated from the whole small intestine, 1,25(OH)2D markedly increased expression of CYP24 protein and mRNA within 12 h. In contrast, in IEC-18 cells, which are derived from crypt cells from the ileum only, 1,25(OH)2D did not increase expression of CYP24 until 24-48 h. The maximal levels of CYP24 mRNA seen in the IEC-18 cells were only 31% of the maximal levels seen in the IEC-6 cells. In the presence of 1,25(OH)2D, phorbol esters rapidly increased CYP24 mRNA levels in IEC-18 cells from almost undetectable to levels seen in IEC-6 cells. Protein kinase inhibitors abolished the stimulation by 1,25(OH)2D and by phorbol esters in both cell lines. Stimulation of mRNA levels by phorbol esters required new protein synthesis but stimulation by 1,25(OH)2D did not. These studies demonstrated that the rapid action of 1,25(OH)2D in IEC-6 cells is related to the activation of protein kinase C, an event which is missing in the IEC-18 cells. This differential response to 1,25(OH)2D probably takes place at a post-receptor site, since the number of vitamin D receptors in each cell line was found to be similar.

Distribution Studies

A protein of Mr approximately 120,000, related to the human erythrocyte membrane skeletal protein alpha-adducin, has been identified by immunological criteria in human fibroblasts. Using similar methods, beta-adducin (an Mr approximately 110,000 protein that forms a dimeric complex with alpha-adducin in the erythrocyte) is not present in fibroblasts. Subcellular distribution studies reveal that fibroblast alpha-adducin is largely associated with the particulate fraction and is most effectively solubilized from that fraction by a combination of nonionic detergent and high salt. Immunocytochemistry of quiescent fibroblasts shows that alpha-adducin is clustered in large perinuclear arrays that may correspond to vesicular structures; weak staining was also found in the sub-plasma membrane region. As in erythrocytes, the phosphorylation of fibroblast alpha-adducin is elevated on exposure of cells to phorbol esters that activate protein kinase C (PK-C). In addition, various mitogens such as serum, bradykinin and vasopressin also stimulate alpha-adducin phosphorylation by a PK-C-dependent pathway. The elevation in alpha-adducin phosphorylation is maintained for up to 30 min after mitogen addition. Peptide maps of phospho-alpha-adducin from both fibroblasts and erythrocytes after PK-C-mediated phosphorylation showed multiple phosphorylated peptides but with dissimilar migration patterns, suggesting divergence of structure around the phosphorylation sites. Adducin appears to play an important role in the regulation of spectrin-actin interactions in the red cell and may play a role in cytoskeletal function in the fibroblasts.

Expression of the N-ras oncogene under the control of the glucocorticoid-responsive promoter in the pheochromocytoma cell line UR61, a subline of PC-12 cells, has been used to investigate the differentiation process to neuronal cells triggered by ras oncogenes (I. Guerrero, A. Pellicer, and D. E. Burstein, Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 150:1185-1192, 1988). Using ras-inducible cell lines, we observed that expression of the oncogenic N-ras p21 protein interferes with the ability of phorbol esters to induce downregulation of protein kinase C. This effect was associated with the appearance of immunologically detectable protein kinase C as well as the activity of the enzyme as analyzed either by binding of [3H]phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate in intact cells or by in vitro kinase activity. These results indicate a relationship between ras p21 and protein kinase C in neuronal differentiation in this model system. Comparison to the murine fibroblast system suggests that this relationship may be functional.

Regulation of phosphate transport by parathyroid hormone (PTH) was investigated in continuous lines of kidney cells. Phosphate transport was reduced by PTH-(1-34) at physiological concentrations (EC50 5 X 10(-11) M), whereas much higher concentrations were required to stimulate cAMP formation (EC50 1 X 10(-8) M) in opossum kidney (OK) cells. The PTH analogue [Nle]PTH-(3-34) also inhibited phosphate transport but did not enhance cAMP formation. Instead, [Nle]PTH-(3-34) was a competitive antagonist of PTH-(1-34) at cyclase-coupled receptors. PTH-(7-34) had no effect on phosphate transport or cAMP formation. Phorbol esters or mezerein were potent inhibitors of phosphate transport but did not affect cAMP synthesis. Their potencies paralleled the rank-order potency of these agents as activators of protein kinase c in other systems. Maximally effective concentrations of PTH-(1-34) and mezerein did not produce additive inhibition of phosphate transport in OK cells. Phorbol esters stimulated phosphate transport in JTC-12 cells, but PTH-(1-34) had no effect. We concluded that PTH regulates OK cell phosphate transport by interacting with two classes of receptors, and transmembrane-signaling mechanisms. Physiological levels of PTH-(1-34) may regulate phosphate transport by activation of protein kinase c, whereas higher concentrations appear to activate adenylate cyclase.
