Selective activation of diaphyseal chondrocytes by parathyroid hormone, calcitonin and N6,O2-dibutyryl adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphoric acid in proteoglycan synthesis of chick embryonic femur cultivated in vitro. 1980

K Kawashima, and S Iwata, and H Endo

We have found that the developmental stage of chondrocytes in the chick embryo femur is sensitive to the action of PTH, CT and dibutyryl cyclic AMP in stimulating proteoglycan synthesis as estimated by the incorporation of radioactive inorganic sulfate. PTH treatment of the cartilage resulted in dramatic stimulation of the proteoglycan synthesis in the diaphysis, which is composed of rather old non-dividing hypertrophied chondrocytes with much lower proteoglycan-synthesizing activity than younger dividing cells in the epiphysis and metaphysis. No or slight stimulation was observed the epiphysis and metaphysis. Dibutyryl cyclic AMP produced much the same effect. CT also stimulated the proteoglycan synthesis only in the diaphysis but the stimulation was less potent (133% of control) than PTH (650% of control) or dibutyryl cyclic AMP (625% of control). The hormones and dibutyryl cyclic AMP, therefore, seem to activate the proteoglycan synthesis specifically in rather old chondrocytes of the diaphysis. A synergistic effect of PTH and CT suggesting a different stimulating mechanism was observed in the diaphysis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.

D002116 Calcitonin A peptide hormone that lowers calcium concentration in the blood. In humans, it is released by thyroid cells and acts to decrease the formation and absorptive activity of osteoclasts. Its role in regulating plasma calcium is much greater in children and in certain diseases than in normal adults.

D002642 Chick Embryo The developmental entity of a fertilized chicken egg (ZYGOTE). The developmental process begins about 24 h before the egg is laid at the BLASTODISC, a small whitish spot on the surface of the EGG YOLK.

D003470 Culture Media Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN. Media, Culture
