    Abstract:
    Freshly dispersed cells were employed to study the effects of various prostaglandins (PGs) on cAMP accumulation and parathyroid hormone release in abnormal human parathyroid tissue. PGE1 and PGE2 effected dramatic increases in intracellular cAMP accumulation over a concentration range of 10(-6)-10(-4) M; the relative effectiveness of these agents varied among different preparations. PGF2 alpha caused a smaller stimulation of cAMP accumulation, and PGF1 alpha was generally without effect. In contrast with the effect previously described in the bovine parathyroid cell system, PGF2 alpha did not suppress agonist-stimulated cAMP accumulation. Both PGE1 and PGE2 enhanced cellular release of parathyroid hormone, with dose-response characteristics similar to those seen with cAMP. In addition, both agents led to a significant stimulation of adenylate cyclase activity in a cellular homogenate preparation. Neither indomethacin (10(-5) M) nor naproxen (10(-4) M) altered the calcium suppressibility of the cells, suggesting that endogenous PG production does not play a major role in the calcium-mediated regulation of parathyroid hormone release.
