title: Effects of fluoride on parathyroid hormone secretion and intracellular second messengers in bovine parathyroid cells.
abstract: Fluoride ion (F-) alone or in conjunction with aluminum (Al3+) has been shown to stimulate the activity of guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) in cell membrane preparations from a variety of cell types and in intact hepatic cells. Several studies have indicated that G proteins are involved in the regulation of parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion. Intracellular second messengers which modulate PTH secretion (e.g., cAMP) have also been found to be regulated by G proteins. We have, therefore, employed F- as a probe to investigate the possible role of G proteins in the modulation of PTH release and the intracellular second messengers that have been implicated in the control of PTH secretion. F- produces a dose-dependent inhibition of PTH release with a maximal inhibitory effect (67%) at 5 mM. F- exerts its inhibitory effect within 5 min and the degree of suppression of PTH secretion gradually increases over 1 hr. F- (5 mM) inhibits PTH secretion at 0.5 mM Ca2+ to the level observed with 2 mM Ca2+ alone; moreover, the effects of F- and high Ca2+ are not additive. While 1 mM F- suppresses PTH secretion by only 21%, and 10 microM Al3+ has virtually no effect at all, together they inhibit PTH release approximately to the level (63% inhibition) observed with 5 mM NaF alone. In the presence of 10(-5) M dopamine, F- produces a concentration-dependent inhibition of cAMP accumulation (0.684 +/- 0.033 pmoles/10(5) cells at 0 mM F- vs. 0.256 +/- 0.048 at 5 mM F-). However, the F- -induced decrease in cAMP cannot account for the inhibition of PTH release by this agent, since addition of methylisobutylxanthine (10(-4) M) by F- -treated cells raises intracellular cAMP content above that of control cells but fails to reverse the inhibition of PTH release. The cytosolic calcium concentration in Fura-2-loaded cells increases from 210 +/- 20 nM to 340 +/- 44 nM after 5 mM F- was added to incubation media. Prior removal of extracellular Ca2+ by EGTA totally blocks the F- -induced rise in cytosolic Ca2+ without preventing the inhibition of PTH release by NaF. F- also produces a time- and dose-dependent increase in the accumulation of IP, IP2, and IP3 in cells prelabeled with [3H]inositol and incubated with 10 mM Li+, consistent with activation of phospholipase C. We conclude that F- is a potent inhibitor of PTH secretion.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
