Down-regulation and differential restoration of cAMP responses upon transient phorbol ester treatment of primary osteoblastic cells

Abstract

We studied cAMP responses induced by parathyroid hormone (PTH), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and forskolin in foetal rat calvariae-derived osteoblastic cells after 24 h treatment with a protein kinase C (PKC) activating phorbol ester. After this treatment, meant to down-regulate PKC activity, all tested cAMP responses were attenuated and were indeed accompanied by a decline in PKC activity. PTH receptor affinity was not altered and PTH receptor number was only slightly lowered after 24 h phorbol ester treatment. These results indicate that modulation of the cAMP responses by 24 h PMA treatment was mainly caused by a general impairment of adenylyl cyclase activity. Removal of the phorbol ester and subsequent culture for 2 days rendered the cells hyper-responsive to PTH: the PTH-induced cAMP response was 2 to 3 times higher than in control cells. Again no change in binding affinity of the PTH receptor was observed and receptor number was just 10% lower than in control cells. The PGE2- and forskolin-induced cAMP responses were not higher than normal. So, transient phorbol ester treatment leads to a differential, agonist-dependent restoration of the cAMP signalling system.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
