Parathyroid hormone (1-34) [PTH-(1-34)] has been shown to stimulate sodium-dependent phosphate transport (NaPiT) in UMR-106 osteoblast-like cells through a cAMP-dependent mechanism. Whether a synthetic amino-terminal fragment of parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) or the full-length molecule, which are recognized to interact with the same receptor as PTH, affect NaPiT in the same way is not known. We investigated and compared the effects of bPTH-(1-34), PTHrP-(1-34), and PTHrP-(1-141) on NaPiT and cAMP production in the osteoblastic cell line UMR-106. Each of the three peptides increased cAMP production and exerted a concentration-dependent stimulation of NaPiT after incubation for 4-6 h. We also studied the effect of transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha), which is another tumoral product secreted by certain hypercalcemia-associated tumors, on NaPiT and the TGF-alpha-induced modulation of the response to PTHrP or PTH. TGF-alpha caused a 30% stimulation of NaPiT, which remained stable from 6 to 24 h, by a cAMP-independent mechanism. In contrast, TGF-alpha attenuated cAMP production stimulated by PTH, PTHrP-(1-34), or PTHrP-(1-141). PTHrP or PTH did not further increase NaPiT in TGF-alpha-treated cells. These results indicate that NaPiT, a possibly important function of osteoblastic cells, was similarly affected by PTH and PTHrP. TGF-alpha increased NaPiT and modulated in a similar way the effects of both PTH and PTHrP.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007700	Kinetics	The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D009363	Neoplasm Proteins	Proteins whose abnormal expression (gain or loss) are associated with the development, growth, or progression of NEOPLASMS. Some neoplasm proteins are tumor antigens (ANTIGENS, NEOPLASM), i.e. they induce an immune reaction to their tumor. Many neoplasm proteins have been characterized and are used as tumor markers (BIOMARKERS, TUMOR) when they are detectable in cells and body fluids as monitors for the presence or growth of tumors. Abnormal expression of ONCOGENE PROTEINS is involved in neoplastic transformation, whereas the loss of expression of TUMOR SUPPRESSOR PROTEINS is involved with the loss of growth control and progression of the neoplasm.	Proteins, Neoplasm
D010006	Osteoblasts	Bone-forming cells which secrete an EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX. HYDROXYAPATITE crystals are then deposited into the matrix to form bone.	Osteoblast
D010281	Parathyroid Hormone	A polypeptide hormone (84 amino acid residues) secreted by the PARATHYROID GLANDS which performs the essential role of maintaining intracellular CALCIUM levels in the body. Parathyroid hormone increases intracellular calcium by promoting the release of CALCIUM from BONE, increases the intestinal absorption of calcium, increases the renal tubular reabsorption of calcium, and increases the renal excretion of phosphates.
