title: Involvement of alkaline phosphatase in the modulation of receptor signaling in osteoblasts: evidence for a difference between human parathyroid hormone-related protein and human parathyroid hormone.
abstract: We have previously reported that alkaline phosphatase (ALPase) is functionally involved in calcium uptake by several osteoblast-like cell lines. We have extended these studies to investigate the actions of ALPase on the cAMP response to and the receptor binding of human parathyroid hormone (hPTH) and human parathyroid hormone-related protein (hPTHrP). Pretreatment of human osteoblast-like SaOS-2 cells with human placental ALPase (hpALPase) inhibited the cAMP response to hPTH(1-34) but had no effect on the actions of hPTHrP(1-34) or vasoactive intestinal peptide. The inhibitory effect was reversed by L-Phe-Gly-Gly, an inhibitor of hpALPase. Treatment of SaOS-2 cells with hpALPase modestly reduced the binding of hPTH to 70% of control values, with little or no effect on the binding of hPTHrP. Bovine kidney and calf intestine ALPases were without effect on either the cAMP response or binding of hPTH or hPTHrP in SaOS-2 cells. In rat osteoblast-like ROS 17/2.8 cells, hpALPase had no effect on cAMP production stimulated by hPTH(1-34) or hPTHrP(1-34), arguing against a nonspecific effect of hpALPase. We suggest that, in SaOS-2 cells, the common PTH/PTHrP receptor can differentiate between the agonist activities of hPTH and hPTHrP by a mechanism that is sensitive to hpALPase.
