The effect of PGF2 alpha on parathyroid hormone-stimulated cyclic AMP production in mouse osteoblastic cell, MC3T3E1.
The effect of prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) was investigated in MC3T3E1 cells on the succeeding cAMP response to parathyroid hormone (PTH). PGF2 alpha increased the membrane-associated protein kinase C (PKC) activity, indicating the activation of this enzyme. The effect of PTH to increase cAMP production was enhanced by pretreatment with PGF2 alpha. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate also enhanced cAMP production stimulated by PTH, and PKC inhibitor H7 attenuated the enhancement of PGF2 alpha. A23187 did not reproduce the PGF2 alpha effect, and this effect was not antagonized by the calmodulin antagonist W7. PGF2 alpha did not change the ED50 nor the maximally responsive dose of PTH in stimulating cAMP production. The effect of PGF2 alpha was not affected by pertussis toxin, and PGF2 alpha also enhanced cholera toxin- or forskolin-stimulated cAMP production. In accordance with the response of cAMP to PTH, the resorption of mouse limb bones stimulated submaximally by PTH was enhanced by the concomitant presence of PGF2 alpha. These results indicate that PGF2 alpha modulates cAMP response through the activation of PKC, the target of which might be the catalytic unit of adenylate cyclase. Such interaction between signal transduction systems may have significance in modulating the effect of PTH on bone, i.e., bone resorption.
