Abstract:
:Bone remodeling is a complex process of coordinated resorption and formation of bone, which is regulated by systemic hormones and by local factors. We have previously shown that the peptide hormone adrenomedullin is mitogenic to osteoblastic cells in vitro and that it promotes bone growth in vivo. The aim of the present study was to characterize the expression of molecules that may mediate adrenomedullin signaling in osteoblasts and to investigate the expression of adrenomedullin itself in these cells. The first adrenomedullin receptor that was cloned is the seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptor, L1. Two additional receptors for adrenomedullin, which arise from interactions between calcitonin receptor-like receptor and receptor activity modifying proteins 2 or 3, have now been described. In the current study, we used RT-PCR and Northern blot analysis to demonstrate that messenger RNA for the three adrenomedullin receptors, as well as for adrenomedullin itself, is expressed in primary rat osteoblasts. Treating primary osteoblasts with transforming growth factor-beta and insulin-like growth factor-I moderately reduced adrenomedullin RNA levels, whereas PTH had no effect. We have shown by immunocytochemistry that adrenomedullin peptide is present in osteoblasts, and by competitive binding assays that (125)I-adrenomedullin binds with high affinity to intact osteoblasts and to osteoblast cell membranes. Coexpression of adrenomedullin and adrenomedullin receptors in osteoblasts, taken together with our previous finding that adrenomedullin is mitogenic to these cells, raises the possibility that this peptide is a local regulator of bone growth.
