We examined the expression of parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP) and its receptor in normal newborn human calvaria osteoblastic (NHCO) cells. Northern blot analysis showed that NHCO cells express a single 1.6 kb transcript of PTHrP, which was increased within 1 h (2x) and peaked at 6 h (7x) after serum treatment. In the culture media, the release of PTHrP peptide was maximally increased (4x) 24 h after the addition of serum, as determined by immunoradiometric assay. NHCO cells exhibited a cytoplasmic immunostaining for PTHrP in the presence of serum, and most PTHrP-positive cells were alkaline phosphatase-negative, suggesting that PTHrP was expressed in undifferentiated cells. Furthermore, RT-PCR analysis showed that both PTHrP and PTH/PTHrP receptor were expressed in NHCO cells in basal conditions or after stimulation with serum. The maximal PTHrP expression induced by serum suppressed PTH/PTHrP receptor expression, suggesting that PTHrP down-regulated its receptor in NHCO cells. Treatment with 10 nM human PTH(1-34) which binds to PTH/PTHrP receptors, increased intracellular cAMP levels and alkaline phosphatase activity, and decreased cell growth, indicating that ligand binding to PTH/PTHrP receptors regulates NHCO cell proliferation and differentiation. The expression and synthesis of PTHrP and the presence of functional PTH/PTHrP receptors suggest a possible paracrine mechanism of action of PTHrP in normal human calvaria osteoblastic cells.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

D044162 Parathyroid Hormone-Related Protein A ubiquitously expressed, secreted protein with bone resorption and renal calcium reabsorption activities that are similar to PARATHYROID HORMONE. It does not circulate in appreciable amounts in normal subjects, but rather exerts its biological actions locally. Overexpression of parathyroid hormone-related protein by tumor cells results in humoral calcemia of malignancy.
