Effects of parathyroid hormone on cytosolic calcium in renal proximal tubular primary cultures

The effects of parathyroid hormone on the cytoplasmic CaS concentration of canine renal proximal tubule cells grown in primary culture were determined using the fluorescent CaS indicator quin 2. The cultured cells exhibited responses to hormones, enzyme activities, transport functions, and morphology characteristic of the proximal convoluted tubule. Parathyroid hormone stimulated an immediate rise in cytoplasmic CaS , both in suspended cells and cells studies as a monolayer on Nuclepore filters. The rise in cytoplasmic CaS induced by the hormone was sustained for 15-30 min, was dose dependent, and was not mimicked by cyclic AMP. Removing CaS from the extracellular media markedly decreased cytoplasmic CaS and abolished the effects of parathyroid hormone on cytosolic CaS . 8-(N,N-diethylamino)octyl-3,4,5-trimethyoxybenzoate blocked the effects of the hormone on cytosolic CaS , but mitochondrial uncouplers failed to inhibit the effects of the hormone to increase cytoplasmic CaS . These studies support a role of CaS i the activation of proximal renal tubule cells by parathyroid hormone.
