Parathyroid hormone (PTH) has been shown to cause transient cell shape changes in bone cells. We have examined the effects of parathyroid hormone and forskolin on the organization and expression of cytoskeletal proteins in cultured mouse endosteal osteoblastic cells. Analysis of [35S]methionine-labeled cytoskeletal proteins isolated on two-dimensional gel electrophoresis showed that PTH treatment (24 h) stimulated the de novo biosynthesis of actin, vimentin and tubulins in confluent cells, whereas forskolin had a minor effect despite a huge stimulation of cAMP production. This PTH-induced stimulation was associated with cell respreading following a mild and transitory cell retraction. PTH increased the synthesis of monomeric subunits of actin and beta-tubulins in subconfluent bone cells, whereas both monomeric and polymeric levels of beta-tubulins were increased in confluent osteoblasts. Under conditions reducing cell spreading, osteoblastic cells had initially high levels of unpolymerized subunits. In these poorly spread cells, parathyroid hormone or forskolin had no effect on the de novo synthesis of cytoskeletal proteins despite a marked elevation in intracellular cAMP levels. It is concluded that PTH affects the biosynthesis of cytoskeletal proteins in osteoblastic cells and that cAMP production does not seem to be directly involved. In addition, the effect of PTH is modulated by cell spreading and by the initial pool of cytoskeletal subunits.
