A canine adenocarcinoma model (CAC-8) of humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy was evaluated for transforming growth factors (TGF)-.alpha. and -.beta., PTH-like activity [adenylate cyclase-stimulating activity (ACSA)], and in vitro bone-resorbing activity. Biological activities present in CAC-8 were separated by reverse phase or cation exchange HPLC. TGF.alpha. in tumor extract was separated from TGF.beta. and ACSA by reverse phase HPLC. TGF.alpha. eluted between 26-30% acetonitrile and was identified by RIA. After the initial reverse phase separation, TGF.beta. and ACSA in tumor extract coeluted between 36-38% acetonitrile. Sequential cation exchange followed by reverse phase HPLC separated TGF.beta. from ACSA. Evaluation of fractions containing ACSA using an in vitro bone-resorbing assay demonstrated copurification of ACSA and bone-resorbing activity. The PTH receptor antagonist [Nle8,18,Tyr34]bovine PTH-(3-34)-amide, but not [Nle8,18,Tyr34]bovine PTH-(7-34)-amide, completely inhibited ACSA in column eluates. Conditioned cell culture medium from CAC-8 primary cultures contained predominantly latent TGF.beta. that could be activated by acidification. These findings indicate that the CAC-8 model of cancer-associated hypercalcemia produces a PTH-like factor, TGF.alpha., and TGF.beta. that were separable by reverse phase or cation exchange HPLC. This feature should be useful to investigate the role of TGFs and PTH-like proteins in the pathogenesis of humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy.
