title: A novel phospholipase C inhibitor and phorbol esters reveal selective regulation of thrombin- and parathyroid hormone-stimulated signaling pathways in rat osteosarcoma cells.
abstract: Previous studies have demonstrated that parathyroid hormone (PTH) and human alpha-thrombin mobilize intracellular calcium from distinct pools in UMR 106-H5 rat osteosarcoma cells. The present studies were designed to explore the molecular basis of this differential signaling. Maximally effective concentrations of both PTH (240 nM) and thrombin (10 U/ml) produced a rapid intracellular free calcium (Cai++) transient (a 2- to 3-fold increase) that was inhibited by pretreatment with the phospholipase C inhibitor 1-[6-[[17 beta-3-methoxyestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-yl]amino]hexyl]- 1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione (U73,122) in a dose-dependent manner (IC50 = 3 microM). Inhibition by U73,122 was not associated with a change in PTH-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity, whereas inositol phosphate accumulation, detected only in response to thrombin, was inhibited 23 to 45%. Prior exposure of cells for 5 min with the protein kinase C activators phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (8-80 nM) and phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (80 nM) weakly inhibited (< or = 30%) the peak Cai++ increase in response to thrombin but completely blocked the Cai++ response to PTH. In contrast, 12-myristate 13-acetate produced a 1.55-fold increase in the maximal stimulatory effect of PTH on adenylate cyclase activity. These data suggest that activation of phospholipase C is a prerequisite for both PTH- and thrombin-stimulated increases in Cai++ and that protein kinase C differentially regulates the ability of these agents to raise Cai++. Collectively the results support the notion that the IP3/calcium mobilizing pathways utilized by PTH and thrombin are compartmentalized.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
