Generation and characterization of human kidney cell lines stably expressing recombinant human PTH/PTHrP receptor: lack of interaction with a C-terminal human PTH peptide.
1994
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) exerts its biological action by binding to membrane-bound, G-protein coupled receptors expressed predominantly in bone and kidney. In this study, we describe the production and characterization of a panel of cell lines, derived from a human embryonic kidney cell line (HEK-293), each of which stably express different amounts of the recombinant human PTH/parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) receptor (Rc). A total of 52 distinct clones displaying different levels of PTH-responsive cAMP production were analyzed; three clones were chosen for more detailed evaluation. These clones (and the receptor-lacking parental cell line) were examined for PTH binding, PTH-stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation and PTH/PTHrP Rc mRNA expression. Receptor-positive clones display a spectrum of PTH-responsiveness that correlates with receptor number/cell and level of receptor mRNA present. The interaction of a C-terminal hPTH-(52-84) peptide with the stably expressed human receptor was examined in c...
