A study was made of the enzymic degradation of 125I-labelled parathyroid hormone by rat kidney microsomes. Incubation with microsomes resulted in rapid destruction of the labelled hormone. The microsomal factor was not separable by dialysis, and the reaction was favoured by pH values in the physiological range. Velocity of the reaction varied directly as the substrate concentration, and additional crude parathyroid hormone (trichloroacetic acid-precipitated, 3·68mg./ml.) inhibited destruction of labelled hormone. There was much less inhibition with added trichloroacetic acid-precipitated calcitonin (3·92mg./ml.) and virtually none with added pig insulin (3·80mg./ml.). Gel filtration of control medium on P6 (Bio-Gel) yielded one radioactive peak at the void volume. After incubation with microsomes three further peaks were obtained on gel filtration. Only the void-volume peak contained intact 125I-labelled parathyroid hormone, indicating that the microsomal enzyme degraded labelled hormone to a number of smaller fragments.

ABSTRACT Peptides containing residues 1–34 of parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) and of bovine parathyroid hormone (bPTH), and recombinant full-length PTHrP(1–141) were infused i.v. into anaesthetized thyroparathyroidectomized rats to compare their action and potency on the renal handling of calcium, phosphate and cyclic AMP (cAMP) in vivo. All three peptides decreased the excretion of calcium and increased the excretion of phosphate and cAMP in the urine, with PTHrP(1–34) and PTHrP(1–141) having virtually equipotent effects. Thus the essential requirements for the major physiological activity of PTHrP on the kidney are contained within the 34 amino-terminal amino acids. For all three peptides, the lowest infusion rate that increased phosphate and cAMP excretion was 0·01 nmol/kg per h, whereas the lowest infusion rate that decreased calcium excretion was 0·025 nmol/kg per h for the PTHrP peptides and 0·1 nmol/kg per h for bPTH(1–34). The response to the PTHrP peptides was maximal at an infusion rate of 01 nmol/kg per h for both calcium and phosphate. Since the kidney is either equally sensitive to PTHrP and bPTH(1–34), or more sensitive to PTHrP than to bPTH(1–34), the hypercalcaemia of humoral hypercalcaemia of malignancy may develop because uncontrolled secretion of PTHrP increases the renal reabsorption of calcium to such an extent that even a modest increase in the inflow of calcium into the blood raises plasma calcium concentration.

Microbodies have received extensive morphological and cytochemical investigation since they were first described by Rhodin in 1954. To our knowledge, however, all investigations of microbodies and cytoplasmic bodies of rat renal proximal tubule cells have employed immersion fixation. Tisher, et al. have shown convincing evidence of fine structural alteration of microbodies in rhesus monkey kidney following immersion fixation; these alterations were not encountered when in vivo intravascular perfusion was employed. In view of these studies, and the fact that techniques for perfusion fixation have been established specifically for the rat kidney by Maunsbach, it seemed desirable to employ perfusion fixation to study the fine structure and distribution of microbodies and cytoplasmic bodies within the rat renal proximal tubule.

Abstract. The interaction between parathyroid hormone (PTH) and prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) in influencing cyclic AMP metabolism in rat renal cortical tissue was examined. PTH and PGE1 stimulated additively the adenylate cyclase activity in the homogenate of the tissue. Both PTH and PGE1 enhanced the level of cyclic AMP in the incubated renal cortical tissue, but the effect of their simultaneous addition did not exceed the effect induced by PTH alone. Cyclic AMP accumulated in the incubation medium by stimulation by PTH was decreased by the simultaneous addition of PGE1. When the tissue was pre-incubated for 30 min with 2 to 10 μg/ml of PGE1, the magnitude of the increase of cyclic AMP caused by PTH subsequently added was lessened. However, the response to PTH of adenylate cyclase preparation obtained from the homogenate of PGE1-pre-treated tissue was not decreased. When first PTH was added to the incubating renal cortical tissue, the subsequent addition of PGE1 accelerated the decrease of cyclic AMP content in the tissue and decreased the amount of cyclic AMP released from the tissue. The interaction of PTH and PGE1 on cyclic AMP metabolism in the renal cortical tissue was in contrast to that seen in newborn rat calvaria where PGE1 and PTH acted additively in enhancing the level of cyclic AMP.

AbstractCancer cachexia is a metabolic disorder characterized by skeletal muscle wasting and white adipose tissue browning. Specific functions of several hormones, growth factors, and cytokines derived from tumors can trigger cachexia. Moreover, adipose tissue lipolysis might explain weight loss that occurs owing to cachexia. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are involved in intercellular communication. However, whether EVs participate in lipolysis induced by cancer cachexia has not been thoroughly investigated. Using Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cell culture, we tested whether LLC cell-derived EVs can induce lipolysis in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. EVs derived from LLC cells were isolated and characterized biochemically and biophysically. Western blotting and glycerol assay were used to study lipolysis. LLC cell-derived EVs induced lipolysis in vivo and vitro. EVs fused directly with target 3T3-L1 adipocytes and transferred parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP), activating the PKA signaling pathway in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Blocking PTHrP activity in LLC-EVs using a neutralizing antibody and by knocking down PTHR expression prevented lipolysis in adipocytes. Inhibiting the PKA signaling pathway also prevents the lipolytic effects of EVs. In vivo, suppression of LLC-EVs release by knocking down Rab27A alleviated white adipose tissue browning and lipolysis. Our data showed that LLC cell-derived EVs induced adipocyte lipolysis via the extracellular PTHrP-mediated PKA pathway. Our data demonstrate that LLC-EVs induce lipolysis in vitro and vivo by delivering PTHrP, which interacts with PTHR. The lipolytic effect of LLC-EVs was abrogated by PTHR knockdown and treatment with a neutralizing anti-PTHrP antibody. Together, these data show that LLC-EV-induced lipolysis is mediated by extracellular PTHrP. These findings suggest a novel mechanism of lipid droplet loss and identify a potential therapeutic strategy for cancer cachexia.
