The Molecular Mechanisms Underlying the Systemic Effects Mediated by Parathormone in the Context of Chronic Kidney Disease. Curr Issues Mol Biol 2024; 46:3877-3905. [PMID: 38785509 PMCID: PMC11120161 DOI: 10.3390/cimb46050241] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2024] [Revised: 04/22/2024] [Accepted: 04/23/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) stands as a prominent non-communicable ailment, significantly impacting life expectancy. Physiopathology stands mainly upon the triangle represented by parathormone-Vitamin D-Fibroblast Growth Factor-23. Parathormone (PTH), the key hormone in mineral homeostasis, is one of the less easily modifiable parameters in CKD; however, it stands as a significant marker for assessing the risk of complications. The updated "trade-off hypothesis" reveals that levels of PTH spike out of the normal range as early as stage G2 CKD, advancing it as a possible determinant of systemic damage. The present review aims to review the effects exhibited by PTH on several organs while linking the molecular mechanisms to the observed actions in the context of CKD. From a diagnostic perspective, PTH is the most reliable and accessible biochemical marker in CKD, but its trend bears a higher significance on a patient's prognosis rather than the absolute value. Classically, PTH acts in a dichotomous manner on bone tissue, maintaining a balance between formation and resorption. Under the uremic conditions of advanced CKD, the altered intestinal microbiota majorly tips the balance towards bone lysis. Probiotic treatment has proven reliable in animal models, but in humans, data are limited. Regarding bone status, persistently high levels of PTH determine a reduction in mineral density and a concurrent increase in fracture risk. Pharmacological manipulation of serum PTH requires appropriate patient selection and monitoring since dangerously low levels of PTH may completely inhibit bone turnover. Moreover, the altered mineral balance extends to the cardiovascular system, promoting vascular calcifications. Lastly, the involvement of PTH in the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone axis highlights the importance of opting for the appropriate pharmacological agent should hypertension develop.

Abstract
Exercise perturbs homeostasis, alters the levels of circulating mediators and hormones, and increases the demand by skeletal muscles and other vital organs for energy substrates. Exercise also affects bone and mineral metabolism, particularly calcium and phosphate, both of which are essential for muscle contraction, neuromuscular signaling, biosynthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and other energy substrates. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is involved in the regulation of calcium and phosphate homeostasis. Understanding the effects of exercise on PTH secretion is fundamental for appreciating how the body adapts to exercise. Altered PTH metabolism underlies hyperparathyroidism and hypoparathyroidism, the complications of which affect the organs involved in calcium and phosphorous metabolism (bone and kidney) and other body systems as well. Exercise affects PTH expression and secretion by altering the circulating levels of calcium and phosphate. In turn, PTH responds directly to exercise and exercise-induced myokines. Here, we review the main concepts of the regulation of PTH expression and secretion under physiological conditions, in acute and chronic exercise, and in relation to PTH-related disorders.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone is an essential regulator of extracellular calcium and phosphate. PTH enhances calcium reabsorption while inhibiting phosphate reabsorption in the kidneys, increases the synthesis of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, which then increases gastrointestinal absorption of calcium, and increases bone resorption to increase calcium and phosphate. Parathyroid disease can be an isolated endocrine disorder or part of a complex syndrome. Genetic mutations can account for diseases of parathyroid gland formulation, dysregulation of parathyroid hormone synthesis or secretion, and destruction of the parathyroid glands. Over the years, a number of different options are available for the treatment of different types of parathyroid disease. Therapeutic options include surgical removal of hypersecreting parathyroid tissue, administration of parathyroid hormone, vitamin D, activated vitamin D, calcium, phosphate binders, calcium-sensing receptor, and vitamin D receptor activators to name a few. The accurate assessment of parathyroid hormone also provides essential biochemical information to properly diagnose parathyroid disease. Currently available immunoassays may overestimate or underestimate bioactive parathyroid hormone because of interferences from truncated parathyroid hormone fragments, phosphorylation of parathyroid hormone, and oxidation of amino acids of parathyroid hormone.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Doctors do not know whether treatment of high parathyroid hormone levels is linked to better outcomes in their patients with kidney disease. In this study, lower parathyroid hormone levels at baseline were linked to lower risk of fracture, vascular events, and death in people with kidney disease. PURPOSE Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects ~ 20% of older adults, and secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) is a common condition in these patients. To what degree HPT predicts fractures, vascular events, and mortality in pre-dialysis CKD patients is debated. In stage 3 and 4 CKD patients, we assessed relationships between baseline serum PTH levels and subsequent 10-year probabilities of clinical fractures, vascular events, and death. METHODS We used Marshfield Clinic Health System electronic health records to analyze data from adult CKD patients receiving care between 1985 and 2013, and whose PTH was measured using a second-generation assay. Covariates included PTH, age, gender, tobacco use, vascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obesity, GFR, and use of osteoporosis medications. RESULTS Five thousand one hundred eight subjects had a mean age of 68 ± 17 years, 48% were men, and mean follow-up was 23 ± 10 years. Fractures, vascular events, and death occurred in 18%, 71%, and 56% of the cohort, respectively. In univariate and multivariate models, PTH was an independent predictor of fracture, vascular events, and death. The hazards of fracture, vascular events and death were minimized at a baseline PTH of 0, 69, and 58 pg/mL, respectively. CONCLUSIONS We found that among individuals with stage 3 and 4 CKD, PTH was an independent predictor of fractures, vascular events, and death. Additional epidemiologic studies are needed to confirm these findings. If a target PTH range can be confirmed, then randomized placebo-controlled trials will be needed to confirm that treating HPT reduces the risk of fracture, vascular events, and death.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is the major secretory product of the parathyroid glands, and in hypocalcemic conditions, can enhance renal calcium reabsorption, increase active vitamin D production to increase intestinal calcium absorption, and mobilize calcium from bone by increasing turnover, mainly but not exclusively in cortical bone. PTH has therefore found clinical use as replacement therapy in hypoparathyroidism. PTH also may have a physiologic role in augmenting bone formation, particularly in trabecular and to some extent in cortical bone. This action has been applied to the clinic to provide anabolic therapy for osteoporosis.

Abstract
Human parathyroid hormone 1-34 fragment (PTH1-34) has been used as a FDA-approved therapeutics to treat osteoporosis by daily subcutaneous injection. In this work, we successfully developed PTH1-34 conjugated hyaluronic acid (HA) for the transdermal treatment of osteoporosis with improved patient compliance. HA-PTH1-34 conjugate was synthesized by the coupling reaction between aldehyde group introduced to HA and amine group of PTH1-34. After characterization by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and ELISA, the biological effect of HA-PTH1-34 conjugate on the proliferation of human osteoblast cells was confirmed by in vitro calcium colorimetric assay and cAMP assay. Two-photon microscopy clearly visualized the effective skin penetration of FITC modified HA-PTH1-34 conjugate. The transdermally delivered HA-PTH1-34 conjugates elevated the blood calcium concentration for more than 2 days, reflecting the feasibility for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Disruption of β-catenin binding to parathyroid hormone (PTH) receptor inhibits PTH-stimulated ERK1/2 activation. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2015; 464:27-32.

Abstract
The type I parathyroid hormone receptor (PTH1R) mediates PTH and PTH-related protein (PTHrP) actions on extracellular mineral ion homeostasis and bone remodeling. These effects depend in part on the activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2). Sequences located within or at the carboxyl-terminus of PTH1R control its activation and trafficking. β-catenin regulates PTH1R signaling and promotes chondrocyte hypertrophy through binding to the intracellular carboxyl-terminal region of the receptor. How the interaction of PTH1R with β-catenin affects PTH-stimulated ERK1/2 is unknown. In the present study, human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells, which do not express the PTH1R, were used to investigate whether the disruption of β-catenin binding to PTH1R affects PTH-stimulated ERK1/2 activation. We demonstrated that β-catenin interacted with wild-type PTH1R but this interaction was markedly reduced with mutant PTH1R (L584A/L585A). PTH stimulated less cAMP formation and increased more intracellular calcium in HEK293 cells transfected with wild-type PTH1R compared with mutant PTH1R, indicating β-catenin switches PTH1R signaling from Gαs activation to Gαq signaling. In addition, ERK1/2 activation in HEK293 cells transfected with PTH1R exhibited time and concentration dependence. PTH-stimulated ERK1/2 activation was mostly mediated through Gαq/PLC signaling pathway. Importantly, transfection of mutant PTH1R decreased PTH-induced ERK1/2 activation by inhibiting Gαq-mediated signaling. This study shows for the first time that the interference of β-catenin binding to PTH1R inhibits PTH-stimulated ERK1/2 phosphorylation.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common cancer of bone. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) regulates calcium homeostasis and bone development, while the paracrine/autocrine PTH-related protein (PTHrP) has central roles in endochondral bone formation and bone remodeling. Using a murine OS model, we found that OS cells express PTHrP and the common PTH/PTHrP receptor (PTHR1). To investigate the role of PTHR1 signaling in OS cell behavior, we used shRNA to reduce PTHR1 expression. This only mildly inhibited proliferation in vitro, but markedly reduced invasion through collagen and reduced expression of RANK ligand (RANKL). Administration of PTH(1-34) did not stimulate OS proliferation in vivo but, strikingly, PTHR1 knockdown resulted in a profound growth inhibition and increased differentiation/mineralization of the tumors. Treatment with neutralizing antibody to PTHrP did not recapitulate the knockdown of PTHR1. Consistent with this lack of activity, PTHrP was predominantly intracellular in OS cells. Knockdown of PTHR1 resulted in increased expression of late osteoblast differentiation genes and upregulation of Wnt antagonists. RANKL production was reduced in knockdown tumors, providing for reduced homotypic signaling through the receptor, RANK. Loss of PTHR1 resulted in the coordinated loss of gene signatures associated with the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2). Using Ezh2 inhibitors, we demonstrate that the increased expression of osteoblast maturation markers is in part mediated by the loss of PRC2 activity. Collectively these results demonstrate that PTHR1 signaling is important in maintaining OS proliferation and undifferentiated state. This is in part mediated by intracellular PTHrP and through regulation of the OS epigenome.

Abstract
PTHR1 (type 1 parathyroid hormone receptors) mediate the effects of PTH (parathyroid hormone) on bone remodelling and plasma Ca2+ homoeostasis. PTH, via PTHR1, can stimulate both AC (adenylate cyclase) and increases in [Ca2+]i (cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration), although the relationship between the two responses differs between cell types. In the present paper, we review briefly the mechanisms that influence coupling of PTHR1 to different intracellular signalling proteins, including the G-proteins that stimulate AC or PLC (phospholipase C). Stimulus intensity, the ability of different PTH analogues to stabilize different receptor conformations ('stimulus trafficking'), and association of PTHR1 with scaffold proteins, notably NHERF1 and NHERF2 (Na+/H+ exchanger regulatory factor 1 and 2), contribute to defining the interactions between signalling proteins and PTHR1. In addition, cAMP itself can, via Epac (exchange protein directly activated by cAMP), PKA (protein kinase A) or by binding directly to IP3Rs [Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptors] regulate [Ca2+]i. Epac leads to activation of PLCϵ, PKA can phosphorylate and thereby increase the sensitivity of IP3Rs and L-type Ca2+ channels, and cAMP delivered at high concentrations to IP3R2 from AC6 increases the sensitivity of IP3Rs to InsP3. The diversity of these links between PTH and [Ca2+]i highlights the versatility of PTHR1. This versatility allows PTHR1 to evoke different responses when stimulated by each of its physiological ligands, PTH and PTH-related peptide, and it provides scope for development of ligands that selectively harness the anabolic effects of PTH for more effective treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
PDZ proteins, named for the common structural domain shared by the postsynaptic density protein (PSD95), Drosophila disc large tumor suppressor (DlgA), and zonula occludens-1 protein (ZO-1), constitute a family of 200-300 recognized members. These cytoplasmic adapter proteins are capable of assembling a variety of membrane-associated proteins and signaling molecules in short-lived functional units. Here, we review PDZ proteins that participate in the regulation of signaling, trafficking, and function of G protein-coupled receptors. Salient structural features of PDZ proteins that allow them to recognize targeted GPCRs are considered. Scaffolding proteins harboring PDZ domains may contain single or multiple PDZ modules and may also include other protein-protein interaction modules. PDZ proteins may impact receptor signaling by diverse mechanisms that include retaining the receptor at the cell membrane, thereby increasing the duration of ligand binding, as well as importantly influencing GPCR internalization, trafficking, recycling, and intracellular sorting. PDZ proteins are also capable of modifying the assembled complex of accessory proteins such as β-arrestins that themselves regulate GPCR signaling. Additionally, PDZ proteins may modulate GPCR signaling by altering the G protein to which the receptor binds, or affect other regulatory proteins that impact GTPase activity, protein kinase A, phospholipase C, or modify downstream signaling events. Small molecules targeting the PDZ protein-GPCR interaction are being developed and may become important and selective drug candidates.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) and the parathyroid hormone type 1 receptor (PTH1R) are important regulators of vascular remodeling. PTHrP expression is associated to increased proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). In contrast, signaling via the PTH1R inhibits cell growth. The mechanisms regulating the dual effect of PTHrP and PTH1R on VSMC proliferation are only partially understood. In this study we examined the role of the adaptor protein ezrin-radixin-moesin-binding phosphoprotein (EBP50) on PTH1R expression, trafficking, signaling and control of A10 cell proliferation. In normal rat vascular tissues, EBP50 was restricted to the endothelium with little expression in VSMC. EBP50 expression significantly increased in VSMC following angioplasty in parallel with PTHrP. Interestingly, PTHrP was able to induce EBP50 expression. In the clonal rat aortic smooth muscle cell line A10, EBP50 increased the recruitment of PTH1R to the cell membrane and delayed its internalization in response to PTHrP(1-36). This effect required an intact C-terminal motif in the PTH1R. In naïve A10 cells, PTHrP(1-36) stimulated cAMP production but not intracellular calcium release. In contrast, PTHrP(1-36) induced both cAMP and calcium signaling in A10 cells over-expressing EBP50. Finally, EBP50 attenuated the induction of p27(kip1) and the anti-proliferative effect of PTHrP(1-36). In summary, this study demonstrates the dynamic expression of EBP50 in vessels following injury and the effects of EBP50 on PTH1R function in VSMC. These findings highlight one of the mechanisms leading to increased VSMC proliferation and have important implication in the understanding of the molecular events leading to restenosis.

Abstract
The Na/H exchanger regulatory factors, NHERF1 and NHERF2, are adapter proteins involved in targeting and assembly of protein complexes. The parathyroid hormone receptor (PTHR) interacts with both NHERF1 and NHERF2. The NHERF proteins toggle PTHR signaling from predominantly activation of adenylyl cyclase in the absence of NHERF to principally stimulation of phospholipase C when the NHERF proteins are expressed. We hypothesized that this signaling switch occurs at the level of the G protein. We measured G protein activation by [(35)S]GTPgammaS binding and G(alpha) subtype-specific immunoprecipitation using three different cellular models of PTHR signaling. These studies revealed that PTHR interactions with NHERF1 enhance receptor-mediated stimulation of G(alpha)(q) but have no effect on stimulation of G(alpha)(i) or G(alpha)(s). In contrast, PTHR associations with NHERF2 enhance receptor-mediated stimulation of both G(alpha)(q) and G(alpha)(i) but decrease stimulation of G(alpha)(s). Consistent with these functional data, NHERF2 formed cellular complexes with both G(alpha)(q) and G(alpha)(i), whereas NHERF1 was found to interact only with G(alpha)(q). These findings demonstrate that NHERF interactions regulate PTHR signaling at the level of G proteins and that NHERF1 and NHERF2 exhibit isotype-specific effects on G protein activation.

Abstract
The PTH type 1 receptor (PTH1R) and PTHrP are expressed in vessels, where they contribute to regulating vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) function. Elevated PTHrP levels in VSMC are often associated with hyperplasia. In contrast, exogenous PTHrP, acting through the PTH1R, inhibits VSMC proliferation. In this study, we investigated the regulation of PTH1R expression by endogenous PTHrP and the associated effects on VSMC proliferation. Blocking binding of secreted PTHrP fragments to the PTH1R by treatment with either an antagonist or an antibody against PTHrP, and inhibition of PTHrP expression by small interfering RNA significantly increased PTH1R expression. Interestingly, treatment of the cells with a PTHrP analog (Bpa(1)-PTHrP) that activates the PTH1R without inducing its internalization had the same effect on receptor expression. To examine the association between receptor expression and the antiproliferative effect of N-terminal fragments of PTHrP, VSMC were treated with exogenous PTHrP (1-36) acutely and chronically to induce receptor down-regulation. Stimulation of VSMC with exogenous PTHrP (1-36) significantly reduced cell proliferation during the first 18 h of treatment but was no longer effective after 3 d, a time when PTH1R was down-regulated. In contrast, treatment with the noninternalizing agonist Bpa(1)-PTHrP strongly inhibited cell proliferation at all time points. In conclusion, our study show that PTHrP, after its intracellular processing and secretion, promotes down-regulation of the PTH1R in VSMC, thereby regulating cell proliferation in an auto/paracrine fashion. This regulatory mechanism may have important implication during vascular remodeling, in particular in the development of neointima after arterial injury, where PTHrP overexpression occurs.

Abstract
The effects of the expression of the Na+/H+ exchanger regulatory factor-1 (NHERF1) on the distribution, dynamics, and signaling properties of the PTH type 1 receptor (PTH1R) were studied in rat osteosarcoma cells ROS 17/2.8. NHERF1 had a dramatic effect on the subcellular distribution of PTH1R, promoting a substantial relocation of the receptor to regions of the plasma membrane located in very close proximity to cytoskeletal fibers. Direct interactions of NHERF1 with the PTH1R and the cytoskeleton were required for these effects, because they were abolished by 1) PTH1R mutations that impair NHERF1 binding, and 2) NHERF1 mutations that impair binding to the PTH1R or the cytoskeleton. NHERF1 reduced significantly the diffusion of the PTH1R by a mechanism that was also dependent on a direct association of NHERF1 with the PTH1R and the cytoskeleton. NHERF1 increased ligand-dependent production of cAMP and induced ligand-dependent rises in intracellular calcium. These effects on calcium were due to increased calcium uptake, as they were blocked by calcium channel inhibitors and by the addition of EGTA to the medium. These calcium effects were abolished by protein kinase A inhibition but phospholipase C inhibition was without effect. Based on these analyses, we propose that, in ROS cells, the presence of NHERF1 induces PTH-dependent calcium signaling by a cAMP-mediated mechanism that involves local protein kinase A-dependent activation of calcium channels.

Abstract
Mammalian endothelin (ET) receptors, termed ET(A)R and ET(B)R, are derived from two intron-containing genes and the functional splice variants of ET(B)R but not ET(A)R have been identified. Here, we report about the isolation of cDNAs of ET(A)R transcripts from rat anterior pituitary, which are generated by alternative RNA splicing. Deletion of exon 2 and insertion of fragments from intron 1 and 2 accounted for formation of three misplaced proteins, whereas the insertion of a fragment from intron 6 resulted in generation of a functional plasma membrane receptor, termed ET(A)R-C13. In this splice variant, the C-terminal 382S-426N sequence of ET(A)R was substituted with a shorter 382A-399L sequence, resulting in alteration of the putative domains responsible for coupling to G(q/11) and G(s) proteins and the endocytotic recycling, as well as in deletion of the predicted protein kinase C/casein kinase 2 phosphorylation sites. The mRNA transcripts for ET(A)R-C13 were identified in normal and immortalized pituitary cells and several other tissues. The pharmacological profiles of recombinant ET(A)R and ET(A)R-C13 were highly comparable, but the coupling of ET(A)R-C13 to the calcium-mobilizing signaling pathway was attenuated, causing a rightward shift in the potency for agonist. Furthermore, the efficacy of ET(A)R-C13 to stimulate adenylyl cyclase signaling pathway and to internalize was significantly reduced. These results indicate for the first time the presence of a novel ET(A) splice receptor, which could contribute to the functional heterogeneity among secretory pituitary cell types.

Abstract
Mutations in VPS13A cause chorea-acanthocytosis (ChAc), an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder. VPS13A is located in a tail-to-tail arrangement with GNA14 on chromosome 9q21. ChAc shows substantial allelic heterogeneity, with no single VPS13A mutation causing the majority of cases. We examined 11 patients in four French Canadian ChAc pedigrees for mutations in VPS13A. Affected members of three families were homozygous for a 37-kb deletion of the four terminal exons of VPS13A (EX70_EX73del). This deletion also encompasses the two terminal exons of GNA14. Two affected females in family 4 were homozygous for the splicing mutation 4242+1G>T. Remarkably, the affected males in this highly consanguineous pedigree were compound heterozygotes for EX70_EX73del and 4242+1G>T. PCR analysis of the deletion breakpoint junction revealed that an additional patient with French Canadian ancestry was heterozygous for the EX70_EX73del allele. The identification of a common 9q21 haplotype associated with EX70_EX73del in at least four apparently unrelated ChAc families implies that ChAc shows a founder effect in French Canadians, and that routine testing for EX70_EX73del in suspected ChAc cases may therefore be worthwhile in this population. The deletion breakpoint PCR described here will enable rapid identification of both homozygous and heterozygous carriers of EX70_EX73del.

Abstract
PTHrP has important roles in lung development and function. Here we determined the vasomotor responses of isolated pulmonary arteries and veins of newborn and adult sheep to PTHrP. In vessels constricted with endothelin-1, PTHrP (PTHrP 1-34) caused greater relaxation of veins than of arteries. In both vessel types, relaxation to the peptide was less in adult than in newborn vessels. In newborn lambs, PTHrP-induced relaxation was not affected by endothelium removal, inhibition of eNOS, or inhibition of adenylyl cyclases by SQ-22536. However, relaxation was attenuated by 4-aminopyridine, inhibitor of voltage-dependent potassium channels, in both arteries and veins, and by charybdotoxin, inhibitor of calcium-activated potassium channels, in veins. When vessels were saturated with 8-BrcAMP (3 x 10(-4) M), to eliminate relaxation mediated by endogenous cAMP, PTHrP-induced relaxation was partially attenuated. In vessels treated with 8-BrcAMP (3 x 10(-4) M), 4-aminopyridine but not charybdotoxin inhibited relaxation induced by PTHrP 1-34 in both arteries and veins. Radioimmunoassay showed that, in the presence of a general phosphodiesterase inhibitor, PTHrP caused a concentration-dependent increase in intracellular cAMP content in arteries and veins, which was largely abolished by SQ-22536. Our results demonstrate that PTHrP is a potent vasodilator of pulmonary vessels, with a greater effect in veins than in arteries. Relaxation induced by the peptide contains both cAMP-dependent and -independent components. In both arteries and veins, voltage-dependent potassium channels mediate the response to PTHrP, at least in part, in a cAMP-independent fashion; and in veins, calcium-activated potassium channels may be stimulated by elevated cAMP levels.

Abstract
Recent investigations of parathyroid hormone (PTH) have advanced our understanding of its circulating forms as well as its action. It is now clear that first-generation immunoradiometric assays of so-called intact "PTH" not only measured full-length PTH(1-84) but also recognized large PTH fragments lacking the amino-terminus. New, second generation assays detect only full-length PTH. Under diverse pathological settings, second generation assays display lower levels of PTH (1-84). By measuring full-length PTH (bioactive PTH) and the combined full-length plus amino-terminal PTH fragments, the amount of non-PTH(1-84) in circulation can be estimated. The primary amino-terminal fragment is likely to be PTH(7-84). A considerable controversy surrounds the pathological significance of PTH(7-84) and its relation to adynamic bone disease. While these findings were emerging, other work uncovered the apparent basis by which PTH receptors signal through cAMP in some instances but through Ca/inositol phosphate in others. This signaling switch is dictated by the cytoplasmic adapter protein NHERF1 (EBP50), which is expressed in a cell-selective fashion. Other provocative findings may provide a means of unifying determinations of PTH(7-84) with the effects of NHERF1 on PTH receptor signaling. These latter studies reveal that in cells expressing NHERF1, PTH(7-84) has no effect on PTH receptor signaling or internalization. However, in cells lacking or expressing low levels of NHERF1, PTH(7-84) internalizes the PTH receptor without accompanying activation. Together, these findings suggest that the accumulation of PTH(7-84) in renal failure may lead to PTH resistance by internalizing and down-regulating PTH receptors.

Abstract
We examined here the role of second messenger-dependent kinases and beta-arrestins in short-term regulation of the PTH receptor (PTHR) signaling. The inhibition of protein kinase C (PKC) in COS-7 cells transiently expressing PTHR, led to an approximately 2-fold increase in PTH-stimulated inositol phosphate (IP) and cAMP production. The inhibition of protein kinase A increased cAMP production 1.5-fold without affecting IP signaling. The effects of PKC inhibition on PTHR-mediated G(q) signaling were strongly decreased for a carboxy-terminally truncated PTHR (T480) that is phosphorylation deficient. PKC inhibition was associated with a decrease in agonist-stimulated PTHR phosphorylation and internalization without blocking PTH-dependent mobilization of beta-arrestin2 to the plasma membrane. Overexpression of beta-arrestins strongly decreased the PTHR-mediated IP signal, whereas cAMP production was impaired to a much lower extent. The regulation of PTH-stimulated signals by beta-arrestins was impaired for the truncated T480 receptor. Our data reveal mechanisms at, and distal to, the receptor regulating PTHR-mediated signaling pathways by second messenger-dependent kinases. We conclude that regulation of PTHR-mediated signaling by PKC and beta-arrestins are separable phenomena that both involve the carboxy terminus of the receptor. A major role for PKC and beta-arrestins in preferential regulation of PTHR-mediated G(q) signaling by independent mechanisms at the receptor level was established.

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
Vascular calcification has been clearly defined as a risk factor for cardiovascular mortality in the general population and is highly prevalent in end-stage renal disease (ESRD), where it is associated with a number of markers of increased mortality such as left ventricular hypertrophy. The pattern of calcification in ESRD is characterized by mineral deposition in the tunica media, in contrast to non-ESRD populations, where calcification of atheromatous plaque predominates. This difference may have important clinical implications. The pathophysiological mechanisms underlying both types of vascular calcification remain to be clarified; however, current evidence suggests that they are active processes rather than passive mineral precipitation, and the presence in the vasculature of cells expressing an osteoblastic phenotype may be of central importance. In ESRD, the presence of secondary and tertiary hyperparathyroidism, disordered calcium and phosphate homeostasis, and the use of vitamin D- and calcium-based treatments in its therapy may all contribute to vascular calcification. These issues and the impact on other current and future therapies have great importance for clinical nephrology, and a better understanding of vascular calcification through a focused research effort is essential.

Abstract
1. The bovine Galpha(14) is a member of the G(q) subfamily of G proteins that can regulate phospholipase Cbeta isoforms but the extent to which Galpha(14) recognizes different receptor classes is not known. 2. Galpha(14) was cotransfected with a variety of receptors in COS-7 cells, and agonist-induced stimulation of phospholipase C was then measured. 3. Activation of the type 2 but not type 1 somatostatin receptor in cells coexpressing Galpha(14) stimulated the accumulation of inositol phosphates; functional expression of both subtypes of somatostatin receptors was determined by the ability of somatostatin to inhibit cyclic AMP accumulation. 4. Among the three opioid receptors (mu, delta, and kappa), only the delta receptor was capable of stimulating IP formation when coexpressed with Galpha(14) in COS-7 cells. 5. A panel of G(i)- and G(s)-linked receptors was screened for their ability to stimulate IP accumulation via Galpha(14). The adenosine A(1), complement C5a, dopamine D(1), D(2) and D(5), formyl peptide, luteinizing hormone, secretin, and the three subtypes of melatonin (mt1, MT2, and Xenopus) receptors were all incapable of activating Galpha(14), while the alpha(2)- and beta(2)-adrenoceptors were able to do so. 6. Galpha(14)-mediated stimulation of phospholipase Cbeta was agonist dose-dependent. These data demonstrate that although Galpha(14) can interact with different classes of receptors, it is much less promiscuous than Galpha(15) or Galpha(16).

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) is the main mediator of humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy (HHM) and it is produced by many tumors, including breast cancers. Breast epithelial cells as well as breast cancer tumors and cell lines have been reported as expressing PTHrP and the PTH/PTHrP receptor, suggesting that PTHrP may act as an autocrine factor influencing proliferation or differentiation of these cell types. We investigated PTHrP gene expression, PTH/PTHrP receptor signaling, and PTHrP-induced mitogenesis in three immortalized human mammary epithelial cell lines that exhibit differential tumorigenicity. The most tumorigenic cells expressed the highest levels of PTHrP messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein. We used reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunoblotting to detect the PTH/PTHrP receptor transcripts and proteins in all of the three cell lines. Treatment with human PTHrP(1-34) [hPTHrP(1-34)] and hPTH(1-34) increased intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) but not free Ca2+ in the nontumorigenic line. These agonists increased both cAMP and free Ca2+ levels in the moderately tumorigenic line, but only increased free Ca2+ in the highly tumorigenic line. Application of the PTH/PTHrP receptor antagonist [Asn10,Leu11,D Trp12]PTHrP(7-34) or PTHrP antibodies reduced [3H]thymidine incorporation in a dose-dependent fashion in the highly tumorigenic cell line but did not affect the other lines. Thus, treatment with a PTH/PTHrP receptor antagonist reduced cell proliferation, suggesting that PTHrP signaling mediated by the phospholipase C (PLC) pathway stimulates proliferation of a highly tumorigenic immortalized breast epithelial cell line.

Abstract
The parathyroid hormone (PTH) family currently includes three peptides and three receptors. PTH regulates calcium homeostasis through bone and kidney PTH1 receptors. PTH-related peptide, probably also through PTH1 receptors, regulates skeletal, pancreatic, epidermal, and mammary gland differentiation and bladder and vascular smooth muscle relaxation and has a CNS role that is under investigation. Tuberoinfundibular peptide of 39 residues (TIP39) was recently purified from bovine hypothalamus based on selective PTH2 receptor activation. PTH2 receptor expression is greatest in the CNS, where it is concentrated in limbic, hypothalamic, and sensory areas, especially hypothalamic periventricular neurons, nerve terminals in the median eminence, superficial layers of the spinal cord dorsal horn, and the caudal part of the sensory trigeminal nucleus. It is also present in a number of endocrine cells. Thus TIP39 and PTH2 receptor-influenced functions may range from pituitary and pancreatic hormone release to pain perception. A third PTH-recognizing receptor has been found in zebrafish.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the mechanisms responsible for the growth-inhibitory action of parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHRP) in A10 vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). Fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis of serum-stimulated VSMC treated with PTHRP or dibutyryl-cAMP (DBcAMP) demonstrated an enrichment of cells in G1 and a reduction in the S phase. Measurement of DNA synthesis in platelet-derived growth factor-stimulated VSMC treated with DBcAMP revealed that cells became refractory to growth inhibition by 12-16 h, consistent with blockade in mid-G1. cAMP treatment blunted the serum-induced rise in cyclin D1 during cell cycle progression without altering levels of the cyclin-dependent kinase cdk4 or cyclin E and its associated kinase, cdk2. Exposure of cells to PTHRP or cAMP resulted in a reduction in retinoblastoma gene product (Rb) phosphorylation. Immunoblotting of extracts from cAMP-treated cells with antibodies to cdk inhibitors revealed a striking increase in p27(kip1) abundance coincident with the G1 block. Immunoprecipitation with an anti-cyclin D1 antibody of cell lysates prepared from cAMP-treated cells followed by immunoblotting with antisera to p27(kip1) disclosed a threefold increase in p27(kip1) associated with cyclin D1 compared with lysates treated with serum alone. We conclude that PTHRP, by increasing intracellular cAMP, induces VSMC cycle arrest in mid-G1. This occurs secondary to a suppression in cyclin D1 and induction of p27(kip1) expression, which in turn inhibits Rb phosphorylation.

Abstract
A stable recombinant chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell model system expressing the human type-1 receptor for parathyroid hormone and parathyroid hormone-related peptide (hPTH-R) was established for the analysis of human PTH (hPTH) variants. The cell lines showed receptor expression in the range from 10(5) to I.9 x 10(6) receptors per cell. The affinity of the receptors for hPTH-(1-34) was independent of the receptor number per cell (Kd approximately = 8 nmol/1). The induction of cAMP by hPTH-(1-34) is maximal in clones expressing >2x10(5) receptors per cell and Ca++ signals were maximal in cell lines expressing >1.4x10(6) receptors per cell. Second messenger specific inhibitors demonstrated that PTH-induced increases in intracellular cAMP and Ca++ are independent and Ca++ ions are derived from intracellular stores. The cAMP-specific receptor activator hPTH-(1-31) showed also an increase in intracellular Ca++. Even in cell lines expressing more than 10(6) receptors per cell the Ca++/PKC specific activator hPTH-(28-48) did not activate hPTH-Rs. Based on these results, synthesis of further derivatives of PTH is required to identify pathway-specific ligands for the type-1 hPTH-R.

Abstract
We have utilized clonal lines of the rat osteoblastic cell line ROS 17/2.8 stably transfected with full-length parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) cDNA in a sense or an antisense orientation to examine the effects of alteration in the production of endogenous PTHrP on expression of the PTH/PTHrP receptor. In the stably transfected clonal cell lines, changes in PTH/PTHrP receptor expression were evaluated by Northern blot analysis, whole-cell ligand binding of 125I-[Tyr36] PTHrP (1-36), and exogenous PTHrP (1-34)-stimulated cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) accumulation. Compared to control (vector-transfected) cells, PTHP-overproducing (sense-transfected) cells exhibited a marked decrease in the expression of PTH/PTHrP receptor mRNA and PTHrP ligand binding, as well as a corresponding decrease in the PTHrP (1-34)-stimulated cAMP response. By contrast, the antisense-transfected cells showed a marked increase in expression of PTH/PTHrP receptor mRNA and PTHrP (1-34) ligand binding, but a significant increase in the PTHrP (1-34)-stimulated cAMP response was not detected. Using antisense-transfected ROS cells, PTH/PTHrP receptor mRNA expression and 125I-[Tyr36] PTHrP (1-36) binding were downregulated by treatment for 24 h with exogenous PTHrP (1-36), forskolin, or dibutyryl cAMP. The findings extend those of earlier studies showing receptor downregulation by exogenous PTH by indicating that endogenous PTHrP, as well as circulating PTH, may help regulate receptor production; and suggesting that even very low concentrations of the peptide may influence receptor production.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTH-rp) and the PTH-rp receptor are expressed in certain cancers as well as in many normal tissues. To evaluate the expression of this Ca(2+)-regulating hormone and its receptor in porcine ovary, we isolated partial cDNAs encoding homologous PTH-rp and PTH-rp receptor using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The cDNA encoding PTH-rp (419 base pairs [bp]) was 92% and 87% homologous to human and rat sequences, respectively, while the PTH-rp receptor clone (167 bp) was 94% and 91% identical to the human and rat genes. Qualitative estimates of PTH-rp mRNA by RT-PCR indicated that the PTH-rp gene is expressed at high levels in the corpus luteum but is undetectable in granulosa and theca cells isolated from small (1-5 mm) and medium-sized (5-8 mm) antral follicles. In contrast, PTH-rp receptor transcripts were most abundant in corpora lutea and theca cells, and least abundant (albeit detectable) in granulosa cells. Regulation of PTH-rp protein production was assessed in serum-free monolayer cultures of porcine granulosa cells. Transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 (100 ng/ml) increased PTH-rp concentrations (assayed by two-site immunoradiometric assay of culture media) as well as corresponding PTH-rp mRNA accumulation (assessed by RT-PCR) in a time-dependent manner, with maximal responses of 3- to 5-fold at 96 h. TGF-beta1 dose-response studies revealed an ED(50) of 0. 24-0.38 ng/ml with a maximal effect at 30 ng/ml. Other growth factors and hormones, including insulin, insulin-like growth factor (type I), epidermal growth factor, FSH, estradiol, and interleukin-1, failed to alter PTH-rp secretion. Biological effects of PTH-rp were evident in purified porcine theca cells. Using the Ca(2+)-sensitive fluorescent indicator dye, fura-2, and digital imaging videomicroscopy, we found that PTH-rp (1 microM) stimulated intracellular free calcium ion concentrations ([Ca(2+)](i)) in single porcine theca cells. The [Ca(2+)](i) elevation was characterized by a slow and prolonged rise. After PTH-rp stimulation, theca cells maintained responsiveness to hormone stimulation by LH, which elicited a typical theca cell [Ca(2+)](i) response. Our results allow a hypothesis of a paracrine intrafollicular signaling system involving interaction between theca cell-derived TGF-beta and granulosa cell-derived PTH-rp, with feedback by PTH-rp on theca cells. Alternatively, expression of mRNAs encoding PTH-rp and its receptor in corpora lutea suggests that this peptide may play a role in luteal cell function. The precise role of this intraovarian PTH-rp system will require further study.

Abstract
PTH-related protein (PTHrP) is produced in vascular smooth muscle, where it is postulated to exert vasorelaxant properties by activation of the PTH/PTHrP type 1 receptor. As a model for studying the actions of locally produced PTHrP in vascular smooth muscle in vivo, we developed transgenic mice that overexpress the PTH/PTHrP receptor (PTHrP-R) in smooth muscle. Oocyte injection with a SMP8-PTHrP-R fusion construct yielded six founder mice. F1 offspring were viable and demonstrated selective overexpression of the SMP8-PTHP-R messenger RNA in smooth muscle-rich tissues. Baseline blood pressure measured in conscious mice by tail sphygmomanometry was significantly lower in the receptor-overexpressing mice than that in controls (117 +/- 4 vs. 133 +/- 3 mm Hg; P < 0.05). In anesthetized animals, iv infusion of PTHrP-(1-34)NH2 caused a significantly greater reduction in blood pressure and total peripheral resistance in transgenic mice than in control animals. Vascular contractility was studied in paired, isometrically mounted aortas from 9-week-old transgenic and wild-type mice. The force of contraction in response to phenlyephrine was not significantly different between transgenic and wild-type mice. However, PTHrP-(1-34) NH2 relaxed aortic vessel preparations from transgenic mice to a greater extent than in controls (77.1 +/- 3% vs. 38.4 +/- 4%; P < 0.001). To determine the impact of overexpression of PTH/PTHrP type 1 receptor and its ligand on the development of the cardiovascular system, double transgenic mice were created by crossing SMP8-PTHrP-R transgenic mice with mice overexpressing PTHrP (SMP8-PTHrP). Double transgenic mice died around day E9 with abnormalities in the developing heart. In conclusion, overexpression of PTH/PTHrP type 1 receptor in vascular smooth muscle of transgenic mice reduces blood pressure, probably through sustained activation of the receptor by endogenous ligand. The cardiovascular defects observed in mice overexpressing both PTHrP and its receptor suggest that PTHrP may play a role in the normal development of the cardiovascular system.

Abstract
PTH is an 84-amino acid protein. Occupancy of its cognate receptor generally results in activation of adenylyl cyclase and/or phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase Cbeta (PLCbeta). In the kidney, PTH receptors are present on proximal and distal tubule cells. In proximal tubules, PTH induces calcium signaling, typified by a transient rise in intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) and inositol trisphosphate formation, but does not affect calcium absorption. By contrast, in distal tubules, PTH increases calcium absorption that is associated with a slow and sustained rise in [Ca2+]i, but does not stimulate phospholipase C (PLC) or cause inositol trisphosphate accumulation. Nonetheless, stimulation of distal calcium transport requires activation of protein kinase C (PKC) and protein kinase A. We now characterize the origin of the differential effects of ligand occupancy by using synthetic human PTH analogs that preferentially activate adenylyl cyclase and/or PLCbeta. We further tested the hypothesis that phospholipase D is responsible for PKC activation in distal tubule cells. PTH-(1-31) increased [Ca2+]i in distal tubule but not in proximal tubule cells, whereas PTH-(3-34) caused a partial increase in [Ca2+]i in proximal cells, but had no effect in distal cells. PTH-(7-34) blocked increases in [Ca2+]i in distal tubule cells stimulated by PTH-(1-34) and PTH-(1-31). The PLC inhibitor U73122 abolished the PTH-induced rise in [Ca2+]i and inositol trisphosphate formation by proximal tubule cells, but had no effect on PTH-stimulated Ca2+ uptake by distal tubule cells. These results support the view that activation of PKC by PTH in distal tubule cells does not involve PLCbeta. PTH did, however, activate phospholipase D with attendant formation of diacylglycerol in distal cells. As activation of PKC is required for induction of calcium transport by PTH, we conclude that PTH receptors are capable of activating multiple phospholipases and that the structural requirements for such activation differ in proximal and distal tubule cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP), a principal factor in the pathogenesis of humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy, is also widely expressed in many normal tissues, including human prostatic epithelial cells. The role of PTHrP in the prostate is not known, but may include regulation of cell growth and differentiation or calcium secretion into prostatic fluid. The dog is a valuable animal model for human prostatic diseases. The objective was to investigate the expression of PTHrP and the PTH/PTHrP (type 1) receptor in primary cultures of canine stromal and epithelial prostatic cells. METHODS Expression and secretion of PTHrP and the PTH/PTHrP receptor was measured in homogeneous primary cultures of canine prostatic stromal and epithelial cells using immunohistochemistry, Northern blots, radioimmunoassay, RT-PCR, and receptor stimulation assays. RESULTS Epithelial and stromal cells expressed and secreted abundant PTHrP, but PTH/PTHrP receptor expression was not detected in either cell type. CONCLUSIONS PTHrP expression by stromal and epithelial prostatic cells and the absence of the PTH/PTHrP (type I) receptor suggest that some functions previously proposed for PTHrP in the prostate are unlikely. The separation procedure presented is a valuable tool for studying the role and regulation of PTHrP in the prostate.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) appears to play crucial roles in the cardiovascular system. Over the past few years it has become apparent that there is more than one receptor recognizing parathyroid hormone or PTHrP, or both, and that PTHrP is not only a potent vasodilator of vascular smooth muscle cell tone, but is also a regulator of vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and a secretagogue of renin and vasopressin. Investigators in several laboratories have started to query whether PTHrP intervenes in vascular diseases such as hypertension, (re)stenosis-atherosclerosis and endotoxaemia.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) is a prohormone that is posttranslationally processed to a family of mature secretory forms, each of which has its own cognate receptor(s) on the cell surface that mediate the actions of PTHrP. In addition to being secreted via the classical secretory pathway and interacting with cell surface receptors in a paracrine/autocrine fashion, PTHrP appears to be able to enter the nucleus directly following translation and influence cellular events in an "intracrine" fashion. In this report, we demonstrate that PTHrP can be targeted to the nucleus in vascular smooth muscle cells, that this nuclear targeting is associated with a striking increase in mitogenesis, that this nuclear effect on proliferation is the diametric opposite of the effects of PTHrP resulting from interaction with cell surface receptors on vascular smooth muscle cells, and that the regions of the PTHrP sequence responsible for this nuclear targeting represent a classical bipartite nuclear localization signal. This report describes the activation of the cell cycle in association with nuclear localization of PTHrP in any cell type. These findings have important implications for the normal physiology of PTHrP in the many tissues which produce it, and suggest that gene delivery of PTHrP or modified variants may be useful in the management of atherosclerotic vascular disease.
