Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) regulation of mitogen‐activated protein kinases (MAPK) ERK1/2 contributes to PTH regulation of osteoblast growth and apoptosis. We investigated the mechanisms by which PTH inhibits ERK1/2 activity in osteoblastic UMR 106‐01 cells. Treatment with PTH significantly inhibited phosphorylated ERK1/2 between 5 and 60 min. Transient transfection of cells with a cDNA encoding MAPK phosphatase‐1 (MKP‐1) resulted in 30–40% inhibition of pERK1/2; however MKP‐1 protein levels were only significantly stimulated by PTH after 30 mins, suggesting another mechanism for the early phase of pERK1/2 inhibition. The active upstream kinase c‐Raf phosphorylation at serine 338 (ser^338^) was significantly inhibited by PTH treatment within 5 min and transfection of the cells with constitutively‐active c‐Raf blocked PTH inhibition of pERK1/2. Inhibition of pERK1/2 and phosphor‐c‐Raf were seen when cells were treated with PTH(1‐34) or PTH(1‐31) analogues that stimulate cAMP, but not with PTH(3‐34), PTH(7‐34) or PTH(18‐48) that do not stimulate cAMP. Stimulation of the cells with forskolin or 8BrcAMP also inhibited pERK1/2 and c‐Raf.p338. Our results suggest that rapid PTH inhibition of ERK1/2 activity is mediated by PKA dependent inhibition of c‐Raf activity and that stimulation of MKP‐1 may contribute to maintaining pERK1/2 inhibition over prolonged time.
