Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (VD3) are important factors in Ca(2+) homeostasis, and promote osteoclastogenesis by modulating receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) mRNA expression. However, their contribution to RANKL intracellular transport (RANKLiT), including the trigger for RANKL lysosomal vesicle (RANKL-lv) fusion to the cell membrane, is unclear. In neurons, depolarization of membrane potential increases the intracellular Ca(2+) level ([Ca(2+)]i) and promotes neurotransmitter release via fusion of the synaptic vesicles to the cell membrane. To determine whether membrane depolarization also regulates cellular processes such as RANKLiT in MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts (OBs), we generated a light-sensitive OB cell line and developed a system for altering their membrane potential via delivery of a blue light stimulus. In the membrane fraction of RANKL-overexpressing OBs, PTH and VD3 increased the membrane-bound RANKL (mbRANKL) level at 10 min after application without affecting the mRNA expression level, and depolarized the cell membrane while transiently increasing [Ca(2+)]i. In our novel OB line stably expressing the channelrhodopsin-wide receiver, blue light-induced depolarization increased the mbRANKL level, which was reversed by treatment of blockers for L-type voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels and Ca(2+) release from the endoplasmic reticulum. In co-cultures of osteoclast precursor-like RAW264.7 cells and light-sensitive OBs overexpressing RANKL, light stimulation induced an increase in tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase activity and promoted osteoclast differentiation. These results indicate that depolarization of the cell membrane is a trigger for RANKL-lv fusion to the membrane and that membrane potential contributes to the function of OBs. In addition, the non-genomic action of VD3-induced RANKL-lv fusion included the membrane-bound VD3 receptor (1,25D3-MARRS receptor). Elucidating the mechanism of RANKLiT regulation by PTH and VD3 will be useful for the development of drugs to prevent bone loss in osteoporosis and other bone diseases.

Nervina JM, Magyar CE, Pirih FQ, Tetradis S. PGC-1alpha is induced by parathyroid hormone and coactivates Nurr1-mediated promoter activity in osteoblasts. Bone 2006; 39:1018-1025. [PMID: 16765661 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2006.04.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2006] [Revised: 04/13/2006] [Accepted: 04/20/2006] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) potently activates cAMP-protein kinase A (PKA)-driven molecular cascades in osteoblasts. The NR4A/NGFI-B orphan nuclear receptor (NR) Nurr1 is a PTH-induced, cAMP-responsive primary response gene (PRG) that transactivates osteocalcin (Ocn) expression through a putative NGFI-B response element (NBRE) in the proximal promoter. As a true orphan NR, Nurr1's expression level and coactivator recruitment regulate its transactivation capacity. We postulated that Nurr1's induction through cAMP-PKA signaling might favor a coactivator that is likewise cAMP-dependent. A possible candidate is the cAMP-inducible coactivator PPARgamma coactivator-1alpha (PGC-1alpha). We hypothesize that PGC-1alpha is a PTH-induced PRG that synergizes with Nurr1 to induce target gene transcription in osteoblasts. We show that 10 nM PTH for 2 h maximally induced PGC-1alpha mRNA in primary mouse osteoblasts (MOBs) and calvariae. Selective signaling agonists and antagonists demonstrated that PTH induced PGC-1alpha mRNA primarily through the cAMP-PKA pathway. Protein synthesis inhibition sustained PTH-induced PGC-1alpha expression. PGC-1alpha enhanced Nurr1-induced transactivation of a consensus 3xNBRE-luciferase construct and the rat (-1050)Ocn promoter-luciferase construct from 3.7- to 9.6- and 10.1-fold, respectively. This synergy required Nurr1-DNA binding, since a mutation of the Ocn promoter NBRE abolished both Nurr1- and Nurr1-PGC-1alpha-induced transactivation. Using GST pull-down assays, PGC-1alpha directly interacted with in vitro-generated and nuclear Nurr1. We conclude that PGC-1alpha is a PTH-induced, cAMP-dependent PRG that directly synergizes with Nurr1 to transactivate target genes in osteoblasts. Taken together with published data, our findings suggest that Nurr1 and PGC-1alpha may be pivotal mediators of cAMP-induced osteoblast gene expression and osteoblast function.

Abstract
A high-conductance K(+)-selective ion channel was studied in excised membrane patches from human G292 osteoblast-like osteosarcoma cells. Channel conductance averaged approximately 170 pS in symmetric solutions of 153 mM KCl, and approximately 135 pS when the pipette was filled with standard saline (150 mM NaCl). The probability of the channel being in an open state (Popen) increased with membrane potential, internal calcium, and applied negative pressure. At pCa7, channel activity was observed at membrane potentials greater than approximately 60 mV, while at pCa3, channel activity was seen at approximately 10 mV. Likewise, in the absence of applied pressure, channel openings were rare (Popen = 0.02), whereas with -3 cm Hg applied pressure, Popen increased to approximately 0.40. In each case, i.e., voltage, calcium concentration, and pressure, the increase in Popen resulted from a decrease in the duration of long-closed (interburst) intervals and an increase in the duration of long-open (burst) intervals. Whole-cell responses were consistent with these findings. Hypotonic shock produced an increase in the amplitude and conductance of the outward macroscopic current and a decrease in its rise time, and both single-channel and whole-cell currents were blocked by barium. It is suggested that the voltage-gated, calcium dependent maxi-K+ channel in G292 osteoblastic cells is sensitive to membrane stretch and may be directly involved in osmoregulation of these cells. Further, stretch sensitivity of the maxi-K+ channel in osteotrophic cells may represent an adaptation to stresses associated with mechanical loading of mineralized tissues.

Abstract
Trains of long-duration "action potentials" were induced by Ba2+ in osteoblast-like rat osteosarcoma cells (ROS 17/2.8), under current clamp and voltage clamp. Large depolarizing pulses were seen in microelectrode measurements at 37 degrees C following the addition of 10 or 20 mM Ba2+ to physiological bathing medium. Application of BAY K 8644 resulted in the onset of the pulses at earlier times and at more negative potentials. The pulses were blocked by nifedipine and Cd2+, but not by Ni2+. Large inward current pulses were seen in whole-cell patch technique voltage-clamp measurements at 37 degrees C in the presence of from 10 to 110 mM Ba2+ in the bathing medium. The current pulses were not seen at 22 degrees C in the presence of 110 mM Ba2+, but could be induced by BAY K 8644. These pulses were not blocked by TTX, but were blocked by nifedipine, Cd2+, Zn2+, Co2+, and by an increase in bathing [Ca2+]. The shape and frequency of the current pulses were the same as for voltage pulses under current clamp. A model that can explain these observations involves opening of L-type Ca2+ channels in a voltage-independent manner by cytosolic Ba2+ via a screening of Ca2+ from sites that produce either inactivation or a lower probability of opening in the activated state. There would be a closing of these channels at higher [Ba2+] as Ba2+ is forced onto these sites. A refractory period is also required to give repeated pulses of openings.

Abstract
Primary cultures of embryonic chick osteoblasts consist of a heterogeneous cell population. Patch clamp measurements were done on 1- to 5-day-old osteoblasts, osteocytes, fibroblastlike cells, and cells that could not be classified on morphologic criteria. The measurements showed the omnipresence of depolarization-activated high-conductance channels in cell-attached patches. The whole-cell experiments showed an outward rectifying conductance activating at positive membrane potentials. Channels underlying the latter conductance were found to be K+ conducting in outside-out membrane patches. The activation potential of the outward rectifying K+ conductance shifted to negative membrane potentials upon increasing the intracellular Ca2+ concentration within the range of 10(-8)-10(-3.2) M. The same happened with the activation potential of the K+ channels found in outside-out patches. Finally, inside-out patch experiments directly demonstrated the dependency of the activation potential of K+ channels on Ca2+ ions. Thus the identity and main characteristics of Ca2(+)-activated K+ channels expressed by the various cell types present in chick osteoblast cultures have now been established. Decreased input resistances were found in cells of cultures more than 2 days old. This is consistent with the establishment of electrical coupling between the cells. Functions in which Ca2(+)-activated K+ channels could play a role are discussed.

Abstract
Patch-clamp recording techniques were used to examine the direct effects of mechanical stimulation on ion channel activity in human osteoblast-like osteosarcoma cells. Three classes of mechanosensitive ion channels were present and could be distinguished on the basis of conductance, ionic selectivity, and sensitivity to membrane tension. The largest conductance channel (160 pS) was K(+)-selective and showed both a decrease in long closed interval duration and an increase in burst length with increasing membrane tension. For low applied pressures, there was an e-fold increase in the probability of this channel being open (Popen) for every 3.4 cm2 Hg change in pressure. Two additional pressure-dependent channels had smaller conductances, i.e., 60 pS and 20 pS; the 60 pS channel appeared to be non-selective for cations. We propose that one or more of these mechanosensitive channels is involved in the response of bone to mechanical loading.

Abstract
Previous studies have indicated that the effects of parathyroid hormone (PTH) on osteoblastic function involve alteration of cytoskeletal assembly. We have reported that after a transitory cell retraction, PTH induces respreading with stimulation of actin, vimentin and tubulins synthesis in mouse bone cells and that this effect is not mediated by cAMP. In order to further elucidate the role of intracellular cAMP and calcium on PTH action on bone cell shape and cytoskeleton we have compared the effects of calcium- and cAMP-enhancing factors on actin, tubulin and vimentin synthesis in relation with mouse bone cell morphology, DNA synthesis and alkaline phosphatase activity as a marker of differentiation. Confluent mouse osteoblastic cells were treated with 0.1 mM isobutylmethylxanthine (IBMX) for 24 h. This treatment caused an increase in the levels of cytoskeletal subunits associated with an elevation of cAMP. Under these conditions, PTH (20 nM) and forskolin (0.1 microM) produced persistent cytoplasmic retraction. PTH and forskolin treatment in presence of IBMX (24 h) induced inhibitory effects on actin and tubulin synthesis evaluated by [35S]methionine incorporation into cytoskeletal proteins identified on two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Under these culture conditions PTH and forskolin also caused disassembly of microfilament and microtubules as shown by the marked reduction in Triton X soluble-actin and alpha- and beta-tubulins. In contrast, incubation of mouse bone cells with 1 microM calcium ionophore A23187 (24 h) resulted in increased monomeric and polymeric forms of actin and tubulin while not affecting intracellular cAMP. Alkaline phosphatase activity was increased in all conditions while DNA synthesis evaluated by [3H]thymidine incorporation into DNA was stimulated by PTH combined with forskolin and inhibited by the calcium ionophore. These data indicate that persistent elevation of cAMP levels induced by PTH and forskolin with IBMX cause cell retraction with actin and tubulin disassembly whereas rising cell calcium induces cytoskeletal protein assembly and synthesis in mouse osteoblasts. The results point to a distinct involvement of calcium and cAMP in both cytoskeletal assembly and DNA synthesis in mouse bone cells.
