Popis: Synthetic human PTH N-terminal 1-34 peptide [hPTH-(l-34)] stimulates prostaglandin (PG) production by chick calvariae in culture. PGE2 was the predominant PG found by both RIA and HPLC. Stimulation of PGE2 synthesis was significant at 50 ng/ml (1.2 × 10-8 M) hPTH-(l-34) and was dose dependent at concentrations up to 0.6 μg/ml (1.4 × 10-7 M). Continuous exposure of calvariae to hPTH-(l-34) showed that PGE2 production increased significantly by 1 h, reached a maximum at 24 h, and then persisted over 96 h. Indomethacin at concentrations above 5 × 10-7 M inhibited PGE2 synthesis by both control and hPTH-(l-34)-treated bones. PTH-(l-34) stimulated bone cells to convert arachidonic acid to PGE2, but did not activate the bone to release stored arachidonate. In summary, our results show that hPTH-(l-34) stimulates PGE2 synthesis by chick calvariae. This endogenous PGE2 may be involved in bone remodeling. (Endocrinology 120: 63–70,1987)
