C-terminal fragment of parathyroid hormone-related protein, PTHrP-(107-111), stimulates membrane-associated protein kinase C activity and modulates the proliferation of human and murine skin keratinocytes

Abstract: Low concentrations of the C-terminal parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) fragments, PTHrP-(107-111) and PTHrP-(107-139), stimulated membrane-associated protein kinase Cs (PKCs), but not adenylyl cyclase or an internal Ca2+ surge, in early passage human skin keratinocytes and BALB/MK-2 murine skin keratinocytes. The fragment maximally stimulated membrane-associated PKCs in BALB/MK-2 cells at 5 x 10(-9) to 10(-8) M. The maximally PKC-stimulating concentrations of PTHrP-(107-111) also stopped or stimulate… Show more

“…3 In addition to its role in the induction of HHM, PTHrP has been shown to be involved in the regulation of cell proliferation and apoptosis in a wide variety of normal and neoplastic tissues. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] The human PTHrP gene is composed of nine exons spanning more than 15 kilobases of genomic DNA and 15 different transcripts can be generated by alternative splicing of the 5 0 and 3 0 exons. Nevertheless, all PTHrP transcripts share products of exons 5 and 6 that encode for the prepro region and the majority of the mature peptide.…”

“…The swollen cells were then scraped off the dish with a rubber policeman, lysed by vigorous vortexing for 2 minutes, and then centrifuged at 1,000g at 4°C for 15 minutes to pellet and discard nuclei and unlysed cells, followed by centrifugation at 100,000g for 30 minutes at 4°C (31). We collected the resulting supernatant, which contained the cytosol, as well as other proteins released from organelles by the described cell lysis procedure, and termed this the "intracellular" fraction.…”

“…The 107-111 region was selected for deletion because it is extremely highly conserved among mammalian species, in contrast to the 112-139 region, which is less well conserved. [3][4][5][21][22][23][24][25] The other regions (112-120, 121-130, and 131-139) were selected randomly for deletion, because there is no known functional significance of these segments. Surprisingly, as shown in Figure 2B, despite its intense evolutionary conservation, deletion of the 107-111 region had no adverse effect on proliferation.…”

“…These serine/threonine residues presumably serve as sites for posttranslational modification, such as phosphorylation or acylation. The location of the key amino acids came as a surprise, for we had anticipated that the PTHrP(107-111) region, which is intensely conserved among species, [3][4][5][21][22][23][24][25] would prove to be essential for proliferation. Presumably, this conserved region plays a role distinct from those explored here.…”
