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.

In potassium depletion, a possible alteration of the proximal tubular response to parathyroid hormone (PTH) was evaluated in rat kidney. 1) There were impairments of both phosphaturic and urinary cyclic AMP responses to PTH. The site of the impairment was further investigated by studying the PTH-dependent cycle AMP system in renal cortex. 2) There was a lesser increase of cyclic AMP concentration by PTH in potassium-depleted slices, indicating the lesser urinary cyclic AMP was due to the specific impairment of PTH-dependent cyclic AMP in the kidney. 3). The activation of adenylate cyclase by PTH was impaired , but phosphodiesterase activity was not affected by potassium depletion, indicating the impairment of cyclic AMP generation was due to inhibition of adenylate cyclase. 4) The phosphaturic response to dibutyryl cyclic AMP infusion was also significantly less in the potassium-depleted animals, indicating the step subsquent to the cyclic AMP generation is also impaired. All above results indicate that, in potassium depletion, the renal response to PTH is impaired, and the impairment is both within the step of cyclic AMP generation and after the cyclic AMP generation.

Metabolism of dibutyryl cyclic AMP was studied by including the 3H- or C-labeled nucleotide (0.1 mM, 5 mumol) in the recirculating perfusate of the isolated rat kidney. Kidneys were perfused with nucleotide for 60 min. Dibutyryl cyclic AMP was almost completely cleared from the perfusate, about one-quarter as urinary excretion principally by probenecid-sensitive secretion and about one-half as metabolism beyond 3'-phosphate bond cleavage. The principal metabolite, N6-monobutyryl adenosine, accounted for one-third of added dibutyryl cyclic AMP. The remaining metabolites were ATP, ADP AMP, and N6-monobutyryl AMP. Dibutyryl cyclic AMP (0.1 or 1.0 mM) elevated renal ATP but did not alter uricogenesis. Both dibutyryl cyclic AMP and cyclic AMP at 0.2 mM produced similar activation and subcellular redistribution of renal protein kinase. N6-monobutyryl adenosine, unlike adenosine, had no effect on the renal activity of adenylate cyclase, low Km cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase, and protein kinase. Dibutyryl cyclic AMP is like exogenous cyclic AMP in that it penetrates the rat kidney, activates protein kinase, and is metabolized to ATP (R. Coulson, J. Biol. Chem. 251: 4958-4967, 1976), but is unlike cyclic AMP in its extent of secretion and metabolism to ATP and urate and in its formation of the unique metabolites N6-monobutyryl AMP and N6-monobutyryl adenosine.

SUMMARY Adenylate cyclase activity in particulate fractions from a transplantable rat osteogenic sarcoma was stimulated in a dose-dependent manner by prostaglandins E1 and E2 (PGE1 and PGE2) and parathyroid hormone (PTH). Prostaglandin F2α was active at a high concentration (3 × 10− 4 mol/l). Pretreatment of membranes with collagenase plus hyaluronidase reduced the magnitude of the PTH effect but did not affect the size of the PGE1 effect. Guanosine 5′-triphosphate and its synthetic analogue 5′-guanylylimidodiphosphate (Gpp(NH)p) activated adenylate cyclase in particulate preparations from the osteogenic sarcoma. The latter agent produced much larger effects, although the concentrations required for half-maximal enzyme activation were the same for both agonists (approximately 2 × 10−6 mol/l). The effects of PTH and Gpp(NH)p were supra-additive at some concentrations of hormone. The effects of PGE1 and Gpp(NH)p were supra-additive at all hormone concentrations tested. Pre-incubation of membrane particles for 6 min with PTH produced an enzyme activation which was not reversed by dilution through washing; pre-incubation with PGE1 did not produce this effect. The response of membrane adenylate cyclase to Gpp(NH)p (10−4 mol/l) was 75% greater in preparations pre-incubated with PTH than in membranes pre-incubated in buffer alone or in buffer containing PGE1. The basal rate of cyclic AMP production in the adenylate cyclase assay system decreased over a 35 min incubation period. This decrease was prevented by addition of PTH or PGE1. Addition of NaF or Gpp(NH)p produced a steady increase in the rate of production of cyclic AMP with time. Membrane preparations did not reduce the biological activity of PTH and did not degrade 125I-labelled PTH. The results demonstrate that the PTH- and PGE-responsive adenylate cyclases of the osteogenic sarcoma have distinctly different properties and that particulate preparations of the tumour do not metabolize PTH.

Adult ventricular cardiomyocytes have been identified as target cells for parathyroid hormone (PTH) but little is known about its signal transduction in these cells. In the present study the influence of PTH on cyclic AMP accumulation and the activity of protein kinase C (PKC) in cardiomyocytes was evaluated. A mid-regional synthetic fragment of PTH, PTH-(28-48), which exerts a hypertrophic effect on cardiomyocytes, increased the activity of membrane-associated PKC in a dose-dependent manner (1-100 nM). Activated membranous PKC was dependent on Ca2+ and sensitive to an inhibitor of Ca(2+)-dependent isoforms of PKC. When adenylate cyclase was stimulated by the addition of isoprenaline, a beta-adrenoceptor agonist, PTH-(28-48) antagonized cyclic AMP accumulation. This antagonistic effect of PTH-(28-48) could be mimicked by activation of PKC with a phorbol ester and inhibited by isobutylmethylxanthine, a phosphodiesterase inhibitor. An N-terminal synthetic fragment, PTH-(1-34), which includes an adenylate cyclase-activating domain, did not stimulate the accumulation of cyclic AMP in cardiomyocytes. The results demonstrate that in adult cardiomyocytes PTH (1) is able to stimulate PKC, (2) is not able to cause accumulation of cyclic AMP and (3) functionally antagonizes the effect of beta-adrenoceptor stimulation to increase cellular cyclic AMP concentrations via PKC-dependent phosphodiesterase activity.

1. Inhibition of adenylate cyclase has been proposed as a mechanism for hypothyroidism and nephrogenic diabetes insipidus occurring during lithium treatment, but these disorders are rarely found in the same patients. 2. We have measured plasma levels of adenosine 3′:5′-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic AMP) after an intravenous injection of glucagon in eight patients receiving long term lithium treatment and in six control subjects. Urinary cyclic AMP levels after an intravenous injection of bovine parathyroid hormone (PTH) were also measured in the patients. 3. The plasma cyclic AMP response to glucagon in the patient group was significantly lower than that of the controls. No correlation was demonstrated between the plasma cyclic AMP response after glucagon and the urinary cyclic AMP response after PTH. 4. We have previously shown that impairment of the response to PTH correlates with reduced urine concentrating ability during lithium treatment. In contrast, there was no correlation between the responses to PTH and glucagon in individual patients. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that inhibition of adenylate cyclase is an important factor in lithium-induced endocrine dysfunction.

1. Plasma membranes were purified from bovine kidney cortex, with a fourfold increase in specific activity of parathyroid hormone-sensitive adenylate cyclase over that in the crude homogenate. The membranes were characterized by enzyme studies. 2. Parathyroid hormone was labelled with 125I by an enzymic method and the labelled hormone shown to bind to the plasma membranes and to be specifically displaced by unlabelled hormone. Parathyroid hormone labelled by the chloramine-t procedure showed no specific binding. 75Se-labelled human parathyroid hormone, prepared in cell culture, also bound to the membranes. 3. Parathyroid hormone was shown to retain biological activity after iodination by the enzymic method, but no detectable activity remained after chloramine-t treatment. 4. High concentration of pig insulin inhibited binding of labelled parathyroid hormone to plasma membranes and partially inhibited the hormone-sensitive adenylate cyclase activity in a crude kidney-cortex preparation. 5. EDTA enhanced and Ca2+ inhibited binding of labelled parathyroid hormone to plasma membranes. 6. Whereas rat kidney homogenates were capable of degrading labelled parathyroid hormone to trichloroacetic acid-soluble fragments, neither crude homogenates nor purified membranes from bovine kidney showed this property. 7. Binding of parathyroid hormone is discussed in relation to metabolism and initial events in hormone action.

Abstract. Cyclic AMP levels in liver slices of hamsters exposed to 35°C for 21 days and controls maintained at 22°C was found to be similar in basal conditions. Glucagon (10 μg/ml) caused 3.5 times elevation of cyclic AMP levels in control hamsters and 9 times elevation in 35°C exposed hamsters, thus a difference of 150% of the nucleotide concentration was found between the two experimental groups. When 10−2m theophylline was added, the cyclic AMP levels were 80% higher in 35°C exposed hamsters both in the presence and absence of 10 μg/ml glucagon. The difference between controls and heat exposed animals was found to be the same when various concentrations of both glucagon or prostaglandin E1 were added to the liver slices. Adenylate cyclase activity was similar in both experimental groups, while low Km phosphodiesterase was significantly less active in the liver of 35°C exposed animals when compared to the controls.
