title: Possible coupling of prostaglandin E2 receptor with pertussis toxin-sensitive guanine nucleotide-binding protein in osteoblast-like cells.
abstract: In cloned osteoblast-like cells, MC3T3-E1, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) stimulated the formation of inositol phosphates in a dose-dependent manner in the range between 10 nM and 10 microM. Pertussis toxin inhibited the effect of PGE2 dose-dependently in the range between 1 ng/ml and 1 micrograms/ml. In the cell membranes, pertussis toxin catalyzed ADP-ribosylation of a protein with an Mr of about 40,000. Pretreatment of membranes with 10 microM PGE2 in the presence of 2.5 mM MgCl2 and 100 microM GTP markedly attenuated this pertussis toxin-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation of the protein in a time-dependent manner. G12 was detected in these cells by immunoblotting with purified anti-G12 alpha antibodies. The results indicate the possible coupling of PGE2 signalling with pertussis toxin-sensitive GTP-binding protein, which is probably G12, in osteoblast-like cells.
