INCREASED EXPRESSION OF G,a AND PARATHYROID HORMONE RELATED PROTEIN-RESPONSIVE ADENYLATE CYCLASE ACCOMPANIES DIFFERENTIATION OF EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS. R.K. Globus. S.D.H. Chan, G.J. Strewler, R.A. Nissenson. VA Medical Center SF and University of Calilornia SF, San Francisco, USA. The developmental potential of embryonic stem cells (ES) is modilied by their ability lo respond lo extracellular signals. Differentiation of F9 embryonic carcinoma (EC) cells following relinoic acid trealmenl is accompanied by activation of a PTHrP-responsive CAMP signalling pathway and accelerated by exogenous PTHrP. II is not known whelherlhe differentialionof pluripotent EC cells or non-malignant embryonic stem cells is associated with amplification 01 the PTHrPdependenl CAMP pathway. Plutipotnnt ES cells (ES-D3 derived from4d blaslocyst) remain undiflerenliatedwhen grown in BRLcell-condilioned medium, but differenliale into a wide variety of cell types when BRL medium is removed. We found that PTHrP (lpgml) increased adenylale cyclase (AC) activity 4.1.fold above basal in membranes lrom diiferenlialed cells but had little effacl on conlrol cells (1.4.lold increase). Basal and forskolin-stimulaled activiUes of control and dilferenlialed cells were comparable. Thus differentiation of ES cell5 was specifically associated with increased hormonal actlvatlon cl AC by PTHrP. To sludy the mechanism for lhis effecl we determined Ihe steady-state levels of mRNA for G,a. a subunit 01 fhe stimulalory coupling protein 01 AC. Dilferentiated ES cells expressed lO.fold higher levels of Gp lhan conlrol cells. Furlhermore, differentiation 01 pluripotonl EC cells (P19) was associated wilh an increase in both G,a mRNA expression and PTHrP-responsive adenylale cyclase. In addilion, 5.bromoB’deoxyuridine (40 PO/ml), reported lo stimulate F9 differenllallon, increased G,a RNA 3.9.fold. dernonslrallng thal pharmacologic agents other than relinoic acid induce expression. In conclusion, ampliflcat.tion 01 lha PTHrP-responsive CAMP palhway occurred during diflerenliation 01 non-malignant and pluripotenl ES cells. Oilferenliation triggered by various agents slimulated Gp expression in both malignant and non-malignanl stem cells. Increased G,u expression tn pluripotenl embryonic cells may function lo sensitize the CAMP pathway and consequenlly reslricl the cellular response to exlracellular signals such as PTHrP.
