title: Cyclic AMP-dependent inhibition of collagen synthesis in avian epiphyseal cartilage cells: effect of chicken and human parathyroid hormone and parathyroid hormone-related peptide.
abstract: Avian cartilage cells derived from epiphyseal growth-plate and avian skin fibroblasts were cultured in vitro. Production of cAMP by cartilage cells was stimulated by the synthetic fragments (1-34) of chicken (cPTH), human (hPTH) parathyroid hormone and by parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP). The enhancement of cAMP production by any of the peptides could be blocked by the parathyroid hormone analogue (3-34)PTH, suggesting interaction with PTH specific receptors. When incubated with [3H]proline, both cell types released radiolabelled collagenase-digestible and non-digestible proteins into the medium. cPTH, hPTH, PTHrP, forskolin, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and 8-bromo cAMP inhibited collagen production in cartilage cells with only minor effects on non-collagenase digestible proteins. No effect of cAMP on collagen production by fibroblasts was observed. The present results provide additional evidence that avian growth-plate cartilage cells are targets for PTH, and are first to demonstrate the response of a non-mammalian system to mammalian PTHrP. The data suggest that collagen production by epiphyseal growth-plate cartilage cells is inhibited by PTH and that this inhibition is mediated by cAMP.
