Parathyroid hormone (PTH) has been implicated in the genesis of the abnormalities of the immune system in uremia. This action was attributed to the ability of PTH to augment entry of calcium and hence sustain an elevation of the basal level of cytosolic calcium ([Ca2+]i) in the cells of the immune system. However, direct evidence for such an action of the hormone on these cells is lacking. We examined whether PTH affects [Ca2+]iof rat thymocytes and the potential mechanisms of such an effect. 1-84 PTH (0.5,1.0,2.0 × 10-7M) increased [Ca2+]iin a dose-dependent manner by 31 ± 2.6,73 ± 3.8, and 128 ± 10.8 nMrespectively. 1-34 PTH had no effect. The various doses of PTH antagonist ([Tyr-34] bPTH (7-34)NH2) blocked the PTH-induced rise in [Ca2+]iby 41-67%. Dibutyryl adenosine 3’,5’-cyclic phosphatase (cAMP), forskolin and phorbol ester 12-0-tetradecanoyl-phorbol 13-acetate (TPA) also produced a significant rise in [Ca2+]iof thymocytes. Verapamil blocked the PTH action by 44% but had no effect on the dibutyryl-cAMP-, forskolin- or TPA-induced rise in [Ca2+]i. Absence of calcium in the media abolished the PTH-induced increase in [Ca2+]iand significantly reduced that of dibutyryl cAMP. Staurosprine completely prevented the TPA-induced rise in [Ca2+]ibut had no effect on that produced by PTH. 1-84 PTH in the presence of calcium in the medium produced a significant rise in thymocyte cAMP but had no effect in the absence of calcium in the media. The data indicate that (1) thymocytes are a target for PTH and that the intact hormones increased their [Ca2+]i, most likely, through a receptor-hormone interaction, (2) this action of the hormone appears to be partially mediated by its stimulation of cAMP generation and partially by activation of voltage-gated calcium channels, and (3) the rise in [Ca2+]iis, most likely due to both entry of calcium into the thymocytes and mobilization of calcium stores within the cells.
