title: Factor derived from human lung carcinoma associated with hypercalcemia mimics the effects of parathyroid hormone on phosphate transport in cultured renal epithelia.
abstract: A decrease in renal tubular reabsorption of inorganic phosphate (Pi) can be observed in hypercalcemia of malignancy. In the present study we investigated the effect of serum-free conditioned medium (CM) from cells, derived from a lung carcinoma (BEN) of a hypercalcemic patient, and of PTH on cyclic AMP (cAMP) production and sodium-dependent Pi transport (NaPiT) in epithelia of two renal cell lines. In opossum kidney cells (OK), PTH is known to enhance cAMP production and inhibit NaPiT; in contrast, in LLC-PK1 cells, PTH has no effect on NaPiT since this kidney cell line is devoid of PTH receptors. In OK cells, BEN CM induced a three- to fourfold increase of cAMP production, which was blunted by the PTH inhibitors bPTH(3-34) and bPTH(7-34). NaPiT, as assessed by measuring the initial rate of Pi uptake, was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner by BEN CM, with an effect maximal between 1h30 and 6 hr of incubation (40 +/- 4% and 47 +/- 4%, respectively), corresponding to the effect produced by 1-3 nM bPTH(1-34). The Na-dependent transport of a glucose analog was affected neither by BEN CM nor by PTH. In LLC-PK1 cells, neither BEN CM nor PTH altered cAMP production nor NaPiT after 1h30 of incubation. At 6 hr, BEN CM caused a slight decrease in NaPiT. In conclusion, these results constitute the first evidence of a direct and selective inhibition by tumor-derived factor(s) of NaPiT in cultured renal epithelia. Most of the renal NaPiT inhibitory activity produced by the lung tumor required the presence of a PTH receptor-adenylate cyclase system.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
