Adrenomedullin Facilitates Calcium Channel Currents in Osteoblasts

Abstract: Osteoblasts play a major role in bone formation. -dependent functions, including growth of bone and regulation of proliferation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of ADM on VDCC currents in osteoblasts using a patch-clamp recording method. To our knowledge, the data presented here demonstrate for the first time that ADM facilitates VDCCs in osteoblasts.

“…Adrenomedullin (ADM) is a peptide hormone that in humans is encoded by the ADM gene. ADM was reported to inhibit the osteoclastogenesis [ 47 ], while stimulate osteoblast growth and proliferation [ 48 ]. Up-regulation of the ADM system occurred early and took part in the adaptative changes occurring during simulated microgravity conditions [ 49 ].…”

“…Adrenomedullin is expressed mostly in osteoblasts and shows activity via a paracrine/autocrine mechanism [ 165 ]. Dissimilar to other peptides of calcitonin family, adrenomedullin shows uncertain impacts on osteoblast cAMP levels showing that adrenomedullin in these cells activates ERK1/2 and voltage-dependent calcium channels [ 166 , 167 ]. Additionally, adrenomedullin exhibited no direct binding to IGF-1R, and like amylin, its effect of proliferation in osteoblastic cells shows dependency on IGF-1R [ 156 ].…”

“…Initially extracted from the pheochromocytoma tissue excised in a surgery (1), adrenomedullin (ADM) is a polypeptide sharing homology with calcitonin gene-related peptide and has functions of vascular dilation and diuretic activity (2). In a healthy individual, a considerable plasmatic concentration of ADM is involved in the regulation of plasma (3).…”
