We studied the effects of parathyroid hormone (PTH) on two markers of the osteoblast phenotype: alkaline phosphatase (AP) (activity and mRNA) and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) accumulation. Osteoblast‐like cells derived from fetal rat (ROB) and mouse (MOB) calvariae were isolated by collagenase treatment. Cells were cultured in α‐Minimal Essential Medium (MEM) with 2% fetal calf serum (FCS) for 4 days. In ROB and MOB bPTH(1‐34) induced a fast increase (up to 5 minutes) in cAMP accumulation. When equal amounts of cells were seeded, the cAMP accumulation was higher in MOB than in ROB. No difference in basal AP activity was observed between ROB and MOB. When bPTH(1‐34) was added to ROB for the last 24 or 48 hr, AP activity decreased dose dependently. However, MOB treated with bPTH(1‐34) for the last 24 or 48 hours showed an increase of AP activity. Basal AP activity was positively correlated with the seeding density of ROB and MOB cultures. Basal AP activity influenced the degree of inhibition (ROB) or stimulation (MOB) after incubation with bPTH(1‐34). © 1993 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
