PTH-related protein activates a G protein-coupled PTH/PTHrP receptor in many cell types and produces diverse biological actions. To study the signal transduction events associated with biological activity of the PTH/PTHrP receptor in vascular smooth muscle, a principal PTHrP-responsive tissue, rat aortic smooth muscle cells (A10) were stably transfected with a plasmid encoding a PTH/PTHrP receptor and tested for ligand binding, PTHrP-(1-34)-induced cAMP levels, inositol phosphate production, and cytosolic calcium transients. Of nineteen G418-resistant lines recovered, all exhibited high affinity binding [approximately dissociation constant (Kd) > 10(-10)) of iodinated [Tyr36]hPTHrP(1-36)NH2 and ligand-induced cAMP accumulation (2- to 100-fold), which was directly proportional to PTH/PTHrP receptor number (range 4 x 10(3) to 7 x 10(7) sites/cell]. PTHrP had no effect on intracellular calcium or inositol phosphate formation in any cell line regardless of receptor number despite the presence of detectable G alpha q). Transient overexpression of individual G alpha q proteins (G alpha q, G alpha 11 or G alpha 14) into PTH/PTHrP receptor-expressing A10 cells conferred the ability of PTHrP to increase intracellular calcium and inositol phosphate formation. Ligand activation of the recombinant PTH/PTHrP receptor elicited appropriate downstream biological effects in A10 cells including inhibition of DNA synthesis and osteopontin messenger RNA (mRNA) expression. Thus, a single PTH/PTHrP receptor, though capable of coupling to different G proteins, signals exclusively through a cAMP-dependent pathway in vascular smooth muscle.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
