The calcium-sensing receptor (CaR) is a G-protein-coupled receptor that is widely expressed, has tissue-specific functions, and regulates cell growth. Activating mutations of this receptor cause autosomal dominant hypocalcemia, a syndrome characterized by hypocalcemia and hypercalciuria. The identification of a family with an activating mutation of the CaR (Thr151Met) in which hypocalcemia cosegregates with several unusual neoplasms led us to examine the transforming effects of this mutant receptor. Transfection of NIH/3T3 cells with the mutant but not the normal receptor supported colony formation in soft agar at subphysiologic calcium concentrations. The mutant CaR causes a calcium-dependent activation of the extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK) 1/2 and Jun-N-terminal kinase/stress-activated (JNK/ SAPK) pathways, but not P38 MAP kinase. These findings contribute to a growing body of information suggesting that this receptor plays a role in the regulation of cellular proliferation, and that aberrant activation of the mutant receptor in this family may play a role in the unusual neoplastic manifestations.
