Relationship among cellular diacylglycerol, sphingosine formation, protein kinase C activity, and parathyroid hormone secretion from dispersed bovine parathyroid cells

To separate the role of changes in parathyroid diacylglycerol (DG) from other effects of extracellular calcium, we studied the effect of inhibition of DG metabolism on PTH secretion and cellular DG content in acutely dispersed bovine parathyroid cells. R 59 022, an inhibitor of DG kinase, increased cellular DG, but significantly decreased PTH secretion. Particulate protein kinase C (PKC) activity decreased in bovine parathyroid cells incubated at high extracellular calcium or in the presence of R 59 022, which is the opposite of what was observed in the presence of the phorbol ester, phorbol myristate acetate. Sphinganine, a normal cellular product that is a known inhibitor of PKC, significantly inhibited PTH secretion at low extracellular calcium, but had no significant effect at normal or high extracellular calcium. We then measured sphingosine in bovine parathyroid cells incubated with high extracellular calcium or R 59 022. Both conditions were associated with significant elevations of cellular sphingosine. These studies suggest that inhibition of PTH secretion and PKC activity by enhanced cellular DG may result from the activation of an inhibitory second messenger pathway involving the sphingoid lipids.
