Parathyroid hormone (PTH) activates multiple signaling pathways following binding to the PTH1 receptor in osteoblasts. Previous work revealed a discrepancy between cAMP stimulation and CRE reporter activation of truncated PTH peptides, suggesting that additional signaling pathways contribute to activation of the CRE. Using a CRE‐Luciferase reporter containing multiple copies of the CRE stably transfected into the osteoblastic cell line Saos‐2, we tested the ability of modulators of alternative pathways to activate the CRE or block the PTH‐induced activation of the CRE. Activators of non‐cyclic AMP pathways, that is, EGF (Akt, MAPK, JAK/STAT pathways); thapsigargin (intracellular calcium pathway); phorbol myristate acetate (protein kinase C, PKC pathway) induced minor increases in CRE‐luciferase activity alone but induced dramatic synergistic effects in combination with PTH. The protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor H‐89 (10 µM) almost completely blocked PTH‐induced activation of the CRE‐reporter. Adenylate cyclase inhibitors SQ 22536 and DDA had profound and time‐dependent biphasic effects on the CRE response. The MAPK inhibitor PD 98059 partially inhibited basal and PTH‐induced CRE activity to the same degree, while the PKC inhibitor bisindolylmaleimide (BIS) had variable effects. The calmodulin kinase II inhibitor KN‐93 had no significant effect on the response to PTH. We conclude that non‐cAMP pathways (EGF pathway, calcium pathway, PKC pathway) converge on, and have synergistic effects on, the response of a CRE reporter to PTH. J. Cell.
