Abstract. The interaction between parathyroid hormone (PTH) and prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) in influencing cyclic AMP metabolism in rat renal cortical tissue was examined. PTH and PGE1 stimulated additively the adenylate cyclase activity in the homogenate of the tissue. Both PTH and PGE1 enhanced the level of cyclic AMP in the incubated renal cortical tissue, but the effect of their simultaneous addition did not exceed the effect induced by PTH alone. Cyclic AMP accumulated in the incubation medium by stimulation by PTH was decreased by the simultaneous addition of PGE1. When the tissue was pre-incubated for 30 min with 2 to 10 μg/ml of PGE1, the magnitude of the increase of cyclic AMP caused by PTH subsequently added was lessened. However, the response to PTH of adenylate cyclase preparation obtained from the homogenate of PGE1-pre-treated tissue was not decreased. When first PTH was added to the incubating renal cortical tissue, the subsequent addition of PGE1 accelerated the decrease of cyclic AMP content in the tissue and decreased the amount of cyclic AMP released from the tissue. The interaction of PTH and PGE1 on cyclic AMP metabolism in the renal cortical tissue was in contrast to that seen in newborn rat calvaria where PGE1 and PTH acted additively in enhancing the level of cyclic AMP.

Abstract Measurement of parathyroid hormone (PTH) is important for diagnosing hyper- and hypoparathyroidism. The move to two-site immunometric assays that detect the whole molecule has improved the discrimination of these conditions but these assays may be too restrictive because some PTH fragments that are biologically active may not be detected. In addition, PTH-like peptide of malignancy, an important cause of malignancy-associated hypercalcaemia, is not detected by the two-site assays. Experiments were performed to set up a simple, robust and inexpensive bioassay for PTH, exploiting a kidney cell line and using cyclic AMP or an eluted stain assay as the end point. Of the 12 cell lines tested, an opossum kidney (WOK) cell line showed the most promise. Despite optimization of the procedure to include pre-treatment with dexamethasone, insulin and PTH, followed by incubation in the presence of 5′ -guanylimidodiphosphate, isobutyl-1-methylxanthine and forskolin, the WOK cells showed insufficient sensitivity for use in a cultured cell bioassay for PTH in human serum. In addition, the cells were less sensitive to PTH-like peptide precluding their use for an assay for this molecule. Journal of Endocrinology (1994) 143, 261–268
