In vitro and in vivo antagonists against parathyroid hormone-related protein

Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 1989 Feb 15;158(3):1036-42. doi: 10.1016/0006-291x(89)92826-x.

Abstract

Four analogues of parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP), PTHrP(7-34)NH2, (10-34)NH2, (15-34)NH2 and (20-34)NH2, were synthesized and their antagonistic activity against PTHrP(1-34) was examined in vitro and in vivo. In vitro studies revealed that all four analogues antagonized PTHrP-stimulated cyclic AMP production in rat osteosarcoma cells (ROS 17/2.8), and that PTHrP(7-34)NH2 and PTHrP(10-34)NH2 had potent antagonistic activity. In vivo experiments in nude mice also revealed that PTHrP(7-34)NH2 completely inhibited hypercalcemia induced by PTHrP(1-34), indicating that these analogues antagonize the effects of PTHrP(1-34) in vitro and in vivo.
