title: Effect of lead on parathyroid hormone-induced responses in rat osteoblastic osteosarcoma cells (ROS 17/2.8) using 19F-NMR.
abstract: Using 19F-NMR and the intracellular divalent cation indicator, 1,2-bis(2-amino-5-fluorophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid, we have recently demonstrated that Pb2+ treatment elevates the intracellular free calcium ion concentration ([Ca2+]i) of rat osteoblastic osteosarcoma cells (ROS 17/2.8) (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA (1989) 86, 5133-5135). In this study, we have examined the effects of Pb2+ on the basal and parathyroid hormone (PTH)-stimulated levels of [Ca2+]i and cAMP in cultured ROS 17/2.8 cells. PTH treatment (400 ng/ml) stimulated a 150% elevation in [Ca2+]i from a control level of 105 +/- 25 nM to a concentration of 260 +/- 24 nM. Treatment of ROS 17/2.8 cells with Pb2+ (5 microM) alone produced a 50% elevation in the [Ca2+]i to 155 +/- 23 nM. Pb2+ treatment diminished subsequent elevation in [Ca2+]i in response to PTH administration thereby limiting the peak increase in [Ca2+]i to only 25% or 193 +/- 22 nM. In contrast to the dampening effect of Pb2+ on the peak rise in [Ca2+]i produced by PTH, Pb2+ (1 to 25 microM) had no effect on PTH-induced increments in intracellular cAMP levels. Hence, Pb2+ dissociated the PTH stimulation of adenylate cyclase from PTH effects on [Ca2+]i and shifted the regulation of [Ca2+]i beyond the control of PTH modulation. These observations further extend the hypothesis that an early toxic effect of Pb2+ at the cellular level is perturbation of [Ca2+]i homeostasis.
