Adult ventricular cardiomyocytes have been identified as target cells for parathyroid hormone (PTH) but little is known about its signal transduction in these cells. In the present study the influence of PTH on cyclic AMP accumulation and the activity of protein kinase C (PKC) in cardiomyocytes was evaluated. A mid-regional synthetic fragment of PTH, PTH-(28-48), which exerts a hypertrophic effect on cardiomyocytes, increased the activity of membrane-associated PKC in a dose-dependent manner (1-100 nM). Activated membranous PKC was dependent on Ca2+ and sensitive to an inhibitor of Ca(2+)-dependent isoforms of PKC. When adenylate cyclase was stimulated by the addition of isoprenaline, a beta-adrenoceptor agonist, PTH-(28-48) antagonized cyclic AMP accumulation. This antagonistic effect of PTH-(28-48) could be mimicked by activation of PKC with a phorbol ester and inhibited by isobutylmethylxanthine, a phosphodiesterase inhibitor. An N-terminal synthetic fragment, PTH-(1-34), which includes an adenylate cyclase-activating domain, did not stimulate the accumulation of cyclic AMP in cardiomyocytes. The results demonstrate that in adult cardiomyocytes PTH (1) is able to stimulate PKC, (2) is not able to cause accumulation of cyclic AMP and (3) functionally antagonizes the effect of beta-adrenoceptor stimulation to increase cellular cyclic AMP concentrations via PKC-dependent phosphodiesterase activity.

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.

D011493	Protein Kinase C	An serine-threonine protein kinase that requires the presence of physiological concentrations of CALCIUM and membrane PHOSPHOLIPIDS. The additional presence of DIACYLGLYCEROLS markedly increases its sensitivity to both calcium and phospholipids. The sensitivity of the enzyme can also be increased by PHORBOL ESTERS and it is believed that protein kinase C is the receptor protein of tumor-promoting phorbol esters.
