The effects of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), a known activator of protein kinase C, on receptor-mediated stimulation of adenylate cyclase were evaluated in a rat osteosarcoma cell line (UMR-106) with the osteoblast phenotype. Pretreatment of UMR-106 cells with PMA increased parathyroid hormone (PTH)-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity and inhibited prostaglandin E2 (PGE2)-responsive enzyme activity. In addition, PMA enhanced enzyme activation by forskolin, which is thought to exert a direct stimulatory action on the catalytic subunit of adenylate cyclase. The regulatory effects of PMA were concentration dependent and of rapid onset (less than or equal to 1 min). Treatment with PMA also resulted in translocation of protein kinase C activity from the cytosol to the particulate cell fraction. Pertussis toxin, which attenuates inhibition of adenylate cyclase mediated by the inhibitory guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory protein (Gi), augmented PTH-sensitive adenylate cyclase activity and reduced the incremental increase in PTH response produced by PMA. The results suggest that activation of protein kinase C increases PTH-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity by actions on Gi and/or the catalytic subunit and decreases PGE2 responsiveness by a mechanism involving the PGE2 receptor.

Arao M, Yamaguchi T, Sugimoto T, Fukase M, Chihara K. Involvement of protein kinase C in sodiumdependent phosphate transport by parathyroid hormone in osteoblast-like cells. Eur J Endocrinol 1994;131:646–51. ISSN 0804–4643 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 monophosphatedependent 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 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 μmol/l) or staurosporin (10 and 50 nmol/l), and by down-regulating PKC with a prolonged TPA treatment. These results indicate that the messenger system mediated by PKC, rather than by PKA or by cytosolic calcium, plays a crucial role in the regulation of Na+-dependent Pi transport by PTH within a few hours of exposure of the hormone in the osteoblast-like cells.

Abstract In order to investigate whether a calcium channel blocker could modulate the protein kinase C activity in normal and estradiol pretreated rat pituitary, female Wistar rats were treated or not (controls) with ± PN 200-110 (3 mg · kg−1 · day−1, sc) for 8 days or with estradiol cervical implants for 8 or 15 days, alone or in combination with PN 200-110 the last 8 days. Estradiol treatment induced a significant increase in plasma prolactin levels and pituitary weight. PN 200-110 administered to normal rats did not modify these parameters, whereas it reduced the effects of the 15 days estradiol treatment on prolactin levels (53.1 ± 4.9 vs 95.0 ±9.1 μg/l, p<0.0001) and pituitary weight (19.9 ± 0.4 vs 23.0 ± 0.6 mg, p <0.001), to values statistically comparable to those measured after 8 days of estradiol treatment. PN 200-110 alone did not induce any change in protein kinase C activity as compared with controls. In contrast, PN 200-110 treatment significantly counteracted the large increase in soluble activity and the decrease in the particulate one induced by estradiol between day 8 and day 15. We conclude that PN 200-110 opposed the stimulatory effects of chronic in vivo estradiol treatment on plasma prolactin levels and pituitary weight and that this regulation was related to a concomitant modulation of the protein kinase C activity.

The role of calcium for the release of norepinephrine (NE, determined by high-pressure liquid chromatography) and neuropeptide Y (NPY, determined by radioimmunoassay) was investigated in guinea pig perfused hearts with intact sympathetic innervation. In the presence of extracellular calcium (1.85 mM), electrical stimulation of the left stellate ganglion (12 Hz, 1 min) induced a closely related release of NE and NPY with the molar ratio of approximately 400-600 (NE) to 1 (NPY). The stimulation-evoked overflow of both transmitters was dependent from the extracellular calcium concentration and was almost completely suppressed by calcium-free perfusion. The corelease of both transmitters was not affected by the L-type calcium channel blocker felodipine (1-10 microM). However, the overflow of NE and NPY was markedly attenuated by the unselective calcium antagonist flunarizine (1-10 microM) and completely prevented by the neuronal (N-type) calcium channel blockers omega-conotoxin (1-100 nM) and cadmium chloride (10-100 microM), indicating a key role for N-type calcium channels in the exocytotic release of transmitters from cardiac sympathetic nerve fibers. Possibly due to unspecific actions, such as interference with sodium channels or uptake1-blocking properties, the phenylalkylamines verapamil (0.01-10 microM) and gallopamil (1-10 microM) reduced NPY overflow with only a minor effect on NE overflow. The stimulation-induced transmitter release was increased up to twofold by activation of protein kinase C (phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, 3 nM-3 microM) and completely suppressed by inhibition of protein kinase C (polymyxin B, 100 microM).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
