Abstract
An active lifestyle is generally recommended for hypertensive patients to prevent subsequent end-organ damage. However, experimental data on long-term effects of exercise on hypertension are insufficient and underlying mechanisms are not well understood. This study was aimed to investigate the effect of exercise on renal expression of parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) and parathyroid hormone receptor type 1 (PTHR1) in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Twenty-four rats started free running wheel exercise at the age of 1.5 months (pre-hypertensive state) and proceeded for 1.5, 3.0, 6.0, and 10.0 months. Thirty rats kept under standard housing conditions were used as sedentary controls. Kidney function was assessed by measuring plasma creatinine levels and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratios. Renal expression of PTHrP and PTHR1 was analyzed by qRT-PCR and western blot. Renal expression of PTHR1 was markedly increased between the 6th and 10th months in sedentary rats and this increase was significantly lower in SHRs with high physical activity on mRNA (-30%) and protein level (-27%). At the same time, urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio increased (from 65 to 231 mg/g) but somehow lower in exercise performing SHRs (48-196 mg/g). Our data suggest that enhanced exercise, stimulated by allocation of a free running wheel, is associated with lower PTHR1 expression in SHRs and this may contribute to preserved kidney function.

Abstract
We previously reported that PTHrP-induced renal vasodilation is impaired in mature spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) through down-regulation of the type 1 PTH/PTHrP receptor (PTH1R), a feature that contributes to the high renal vascular resistance in SHR. Here we asked whether this defect represents a prime determinant in genetic hypertension or whether it is secondary to angiotensin II (Ang II) and/or the mechanical forces exerted on the vascular wall. We found that the treatment of SHR with established hypertension by the Ang II type 1 receptor antagonist, losartan, reversed the down-regulation of PTH1R expression in intrarenal small arteries and restored PTHrP-induced vasodilation in ex vivo perfused kidneys. In contrast, the PTH1R deregulation was not found in intrarenal arteries isolated from prehypertensive SHR. Moreover, this defect, which is not seen in extrarenal vessels (aorta, mesenteric arteries) from mature SHR appeared kidney specific in accordance with the acknowledged enrichment of interstitial Ang II in this organ and its enhancement in SHR. In deoxycorticosterone-acetate-salt rats, an Ang II-independent model of hypertension, renovascular PTH1R expression and related vasodilation were not altered. In SHR-derived renovascular smooth muscle cells (RvSMCs), the PTH1R was spontaneously down-regulated and its transcript destabilized, compared with Wistar RvSMCs, both effects being antagonized by losartan. Exogenous Ang II elicited down-regulation of PTH1R mRNA in RvSMCs from Wistar rats. Together, these data demonstrate that Ang II acts via the Ang II type 1 receptor to destabilize PTH1R mRNA in the renal vessel in the SHR model of genetic hypertension. This process is kidney specific and independent from blood pressure increase.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The present review focuses on recent studies that might be considered as the most relevant advances in the parathyroid hormone-related protein field, with special emphasis on proven functions in renovascular and cardiovascular systems, in physiological as well as pathological conditions. Thus, the questions as to whether and how parathyroid hormone-related protein intervenes in vascular development and homeostasis and in vascular diseases such as hypertension, atherosclerosis, restenosis and heart failure have begun to be unraveled. RECENT FINDINGS Since its discovery from hypercalcemia-associated tumors in 1987, it has become clear that parathyroid hormone-related protein is a ubiquitously expressed poly-hormone and plays crucial roles in normal life. The early lethality to parathyroid hormone-related protein knockout mice emphasizes the crucial roles of the protein in development but has limited the use of these models. However, data accumulated from transgenic animals overexpressing the protein in particular cells have provided considerable support to its physiological and pathological relevance. The recent demonstration that nascent parathyroid hormone-related protein not only follows the secretory pathways, but also directly translocates to the nucleus, is beginning to uncover new actions for the protein in a number of physiological systems such as bone, mammary gland and vascular smooth muscle, as well as in pathological situations, such as cancer, osteoporosis, sepsis, atherosclerosis and hypertension. SUMMARY The development of mice with conditionally deleted parathyroid hormone-related protein or parathyroid hormone-1 receptor alleles will allow the creation of cell- or tissue-specific parathyroid hormone-related protein knockout mice which will greatly facilitate the determination of the biological relevance of this protein in a specific cell or tissue type, particularly in the cardiovascular system.

Abstract
Cysteine-rich protein (Cyr61) and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) are key immediate early growth factors with functions in cell proliferation, differentiation, and extracellular matrix synthesis. Studies were performed to assess the gene expression profile of Cyr61 and CTGF in rat urinary bladder during growth in response to partial outlet obstruction. The mRNA levels of Cyr61 as determined by ribonuclease protection assay increased sharply after 1 day and remained elevated throughout the time period of the obstruction. This correlates well with increased bladder weight. The CTGF mRNA levels seemed to peak within the second week of the urethral obstruction and correlate well with increased type I collagen mRNA. The expression pattern of either Cyr61 or CTGF proteins corroborated that of their respective mRNAs. Immunohistochemical analyses showed that immunoreactivity of Cyr61 was confined to detrusor smooth muscle and that of CTGF was detected within both detrusor muscle and lamina propria layers. These data strongly indicate the involvement of Cyr61 and CTGF in bladder wall remodeling as a result of the outlet obstruction.

Abstract
The cloning of the so-called 'parathyroid hormone-related protein' (PTHrP) in 1987 was the result of a long quest for the factor which, by mimicking the actions of PTH in bone and kidney, is responsible for the hypercalcemic paraneoplastic syndrome, humoral calcemia of malignancy. PTHrP is distinct from PTH in a number of ways. First, PTHrP is the product of a separate gene. Second, with the exception of a short N-terminal region, the structure of PTHrP is not closely related to that of PTH. Third, in contrast to PTH, PTHrP is a paracrine factor expressed throughout the body. Finally, most of the functions of PTHrP have nothing in common with those of PTH. PTHrP is a poly-hormone which comprises a family of distinct peptide hormones arising from post-translational endoproteolytic cleavage of the initial PTHrP translation products. Mature N-terminal, mid-region and C-terminal secretory forms of PTHrP are thus generated, each of them having their own physiologic functions and probably their own receptors. The type 1 PTHrP receptor, binding both PTH(1-34) and PTHrP(1-36), is the only cloned receptor so far. PTHrP is a PTH-like calciotropic hormone, a myorelaxant, a growth factor and a developmental regulatory molecule. The present review reports recent aspects of PTHrP pharmacology and physiology, including: (a) the identification of new peptides and receptors of the PTH/PTHrP system; (b) the recently discovered nuclear functions of PTHrP and the role of PTHrP as an intracrine regulator of cell growth and cell death; (c) the physiological and developmental actions of PTHrP in the cardiovascular and the renal glomerulo-vascular systems; (d) the role of PTHrP as a regulator of pancreatic beta cell growth and functions, and, (e) the interactions of PTHrP and calcium-sensing receptors for the control of the growth of placental trophoblasts. These new advances have contributed to a better understanding of the pathophysiological role of PTHrP, and will help to identify its therapeutic potential in a number of diseases.

Abstract
In previous studies, added parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) inhibits whereas transfected PTHrP stimulates the proliferation of A10 aortic smooth muscle cells by nuclear translocation of the peptide. In the present studies, we asked whether these paradoxical trophic actions of PTHrP occur in smooth muscle cells (SMC) cultured from small intrarenal arteries of, and whether they are altered in, 12-wk-old spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) as compared to normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats. SHR cells grew faster than WKY cells. PTHrP transcript was increased in SHR-derived cells whereas PTH1 receptor (PTH1R) transcripts were similar in both cell lines. In both strains of cells, stable transfection with human PTHrP(1-139) cDNA did not further induce proliferation, suggesting maximal effect of endogenous PTHrP in wild cells. In contrast, transfection with antisense hPTHrP(1-139) cDNA, which abolished PTHrP mRNA, decreased WKY but increased SHR cell proliferation. Added PTHrP(1-36) (1-100 pM) decreased WKY and increased SHR cell proliferation. Additional studies indicated that the preferential coupling of PTH1-R to G-protein Gi was responsible for the proliferative effect of exogenous PTHrP in SHR cells. Moreover, PTHrP was detected in the nucleolus of a fraction of WKY and SHR renal SMC, in vitro as well as in situ, suggesting that the nucleolar translocation of PTHrP might be involved in the proliferative effects of endogenous PTHrP. In renovascular SMC, added PTHrP is antimitogenic, whereas endogenously produced PTHrP is mitogenic. These paradoxical effects of PTHrP on renovascular SMC proliferation appear to be reversed in the SHR model of genetic hypertension. A new concept emerges from these results, according to which a single molecule may have opposite effects on VSMC proliferation under physiological and pathophysiological conditions.
