The goal of this study was to further illuminate the roles of PTHR1 in OS by investigating upstream regulation mechanisms (including microRNA [miRNA] and transcription factors [TFs]) of crucial genes.
Furthermore, the results indicated that the β-alanine induced expression of PTHR1 has a positive relationship with invasion and metastasis of osteosarcoma cells.
The successful synthesis of PTH-PEG-BP was identified on MALDI-ToF mass spectra; bone-targeting potential was evaluated by hydroxyapatite binding test; and receptor bioactivity was assessed in UMR-106 (rat osteosarcoma) cells that constitutively express PTHRs.
The effects of the expression of the Na+/H+ exchanger regulatory factor-1 (NHERF1) on the distribution, dynamics, and signaling properties of the PTH type 1 receptor (PTH1R) were studied in rat osteosarcoma cells ROS 17/2.8.
PTHrP(1-34) significantly increased the intracellular cAMP levels in the rat osteosarcoma cells that expressed PTHR1, and the 5 microg/mL or higher concentrations of the humanized antibody almost completely blocked the PTHrP-induced cAMP production even in the presence of 2 microg/mL PTHrP(1-34), demonstrating its ability to fully neutralize PTHrP function.
