Human parathyroid hormone fragment stimulates the de novo synthesis of prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase in chick calvaria
نویسندگان
چکیده
The human parathyroid hormone N-terminal fragment [hPTH-(1-34)] increases the conversion of exogenous unsaturated fatty acids to prostaglandins (PGs) in calvarial homogenates. Enzyme activities were completely blocked by indomethacin (5 x 10(-7) M), a PG synthase inhibitor, and actinomycin D (5 muM), an inhibitor of transcription, by binding to DNA. In addition, a potent inhibitor of protein synthesis, cycloheximide (10 muM), totally inhibited the stimulating effect of hPTH-(1-34) on prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase (PG synthase, EC 1.14.99.1). The stimulatory effect of hPTH-(1-34) on PG synthase was also reduced by the addition of stannous chloride. However, epidermal growth factor (EGF), platelet-derived activating factor (PDGF), and ionophore A23187 did not show the same stimulating effect as hPTH-(1-34) on PG synthase in calvaria. The results further demonstrated that PG synthase is a membrane-bound enzyme in chick calvaria. In this communication, evidence is presented that hPTH-(1-34) stimulates the de novo synthesis of PG synthase as demonstrated by the increased activity in calvarial homogenates and microsomes.

Mechanism of Stimulation by Human Interferon of Prostaglandin Synthesis in Human Cell Lines1
Human interferon ß(IFN-/Î) stimulated the synthesis of prostaglandin E (PGE) and prostaglandin F2o in IFN-sensitive RSa and GM258 cell lines, but not in IFN-resistant HEC-1 cells. IFN-/S at a concentration of 1000 units/ml elicited 2to 3-fold increases in PGE production in these cell lines. In the presence of exogenous arachidonic acid (1 jug/ml), IFN-pretreated cells produced 5-fold more PGE...

The synthesis of osteocalcin, the major non-collagenous protein of adult bone, was examined in cultures of 21-day fetal rat calvariae. Osteocalcin was measured by a sensitive and specific radioimmunoassay. Osteocalcin concentration in unincubated calvariae was 14.5 +/- 0.5 ng/calvaria. After incubation, there was a continuous increase in bone and medium osteocalcin, and by 96 h the values were ...
متن کاملFormation in Isolated Human Osteoblast-Like Cells
The effect of bradykinin on prostaglandin E 2 formation in cells from human trabecular bone has been studied. The cells responded to parathyroid hormone with enhanced cyclic AMP formation and were growing as cuboidal-shaped, osteoblast-like cells. In these isolated human osteoblast-like cells, bradykinin (1 #tool/l) caused a rapid (5 min) stimulation of prostaglandin E2 formation. This finding ...
