title: Ca(2+) and extracellular acidification rate responses to parathyroid hormone fragments in rat ROS 17/2 and human SaOS-2 cells.
abstract: To examine the importance of the N- or C-termini of PTH(1-34) the effects of truncated fragments of PTH on human receptors in osteoblast-like SaOS-2 cells and rat receptors in rats ROS 17/2 cells were examined. Fura-2-loaded cells were used to monitor cytosolic free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca2+]i), and the Cytosensor microphysiometer was used to monitor extracellular acidification rate (ECAR). C-terminally truncated fragments (1-31) and (1-28) of hPTH(1-34)NH(2) stimulated an increase in [Ca(2+)](i) and ECAR in both cell lines. hPTH(3-34)NH(2) and other N-terminally truncated fragments did not stimulate [Ca(2+)](i) or ECAR in either cell type. The signal transduction pathway of PTH-induced ECAR in ROS 17/2 cells was investigated to compare with previous results in SaOS-2 cells. Potentiation by IBMX, attenuation by 8Br-cAMP and lack of effect of the PKC inhibitor chelerythrine chloride support a cAMP/PKA-mediated signal transduction pathway in ROS 17/2, while the protein kinase C pathway was predominant in SaOS-2 cells. We conclude that the intact N-terminus of PTH is essential in PTH signaling mediated via either the cAMP/PKA or inositol lipid/Ca(2+)/PKC pathways in osteoblast-like cells.
