title: Adenylyl cyclase-cAMP system inhibits thyroid hormone-stimulated osteocalcin synthesis in osteoblasts.
abstract: It is generally recognized that thyroid hormone modulates osteoblast cell function. We have previously shown that triiodothyronine (T(3)) activates p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase, resulting in the synthesis of osteocalcin in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells. In the present study, we investigated the effect of the adenylyl cyclase-cAMP system on thyroid hormone-stimulated osteocalcin synthesis in these cells. Dibutyryl-cAMP (DBcAMP) reduced the osteocalcin synthesis stimulated by T(3). Forskolin and cholera toxin suppressed the osteocalcin synthesis while dideoxyforskolin, a forskolin derivative that does not activate adenylyl cyclase, had little effect on the synthesis. KT5720, a selective inhibitor of protein kinase A, reversed the inhibitory effect of forskolin or DBcAMP. DBcAMP and forskolin markedly reduced the phosphorylation of p38 MAP stimulated by T(3). Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) significantly inhibited the T(3)-stimulated osteocalcin synthesis. These results strongly suggest that the adenylyl cyclase-cAMP system has an inhibitory role in thyroid hormone-stimulated osteocalcin synthesis via suppression of p38 MAP kinase activation in osteoblasts.
