The signal transduction pathways of the recently cloned porcine kidney calcitonin (CT) receptor were evaluated. This receptor, when stably transfected into MC-3T3 cells, avidly bound salmon CT (SCT) [dissociation constant (Kd) = 4 nM]. Incubation with SCT resulted in a dose-dependent accumulation of adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) [50% effective concentration (EC50) = 0.02 nM] in transfected cells (referred to as PC-1 cells). Binding kinetics and cAMP dose response relationships were similar to those of the native receptor in LLC-PK1 cells. PC-1 cells also responded to calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), but the EC50 value for cAMP accumulation was more than three orders of magnitude higher than for SCT. Exposure of PC-1 cells to SCT (5 nM to 1 microM) produced a dose-dependent rise in cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), whereas CGRP did not. The initial rise in [Ca2+]i was not dependent on extracellular Ca2+, suggesting that SCT induced release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores. SCT also increased inositol trisphosphate production in PC-1 cells. In conclusion, the cloned, transfected porcine CT receptor functionally couples to and activates both adenylyl cyclase and phospholipase C. This dual coupling is also a characteristic of the parathyroid hormone receptor, which has significant homology in amino acid sequence with the CT receptor.
