Abstract: | We have previously reported that parathyroid hormone (PTH) has specific effects on a human umbilical vein endothelial cell line. Further studies were performed to characterize the signaling cascades initiated by PTH. We report that PTH induced the appearance of voltage sensitive calcium channels. Furthermore, PTH increased ceramide but not diacylglycerol content. Since elevations in Ca(2+)](i) and phospholipid turnover are signals for the activation of protein kinase C (PKC), the cells were screened for PKC isoforms. PTH induced a redistribution of the PKCepsilon to the particulate fractions of cell homogenates. In summary, PTH induced PKC translocation through a calcium-phospholipid pathway in an endothelial cell line. |
