Incubation of bovine parathyroid cells for 48 h in 0·4 mmol calcium/l had no significant effect on steady-state preproparathyroid hormone (preproPTH) mRNA levels when compared with cells incubated in 1·0 mmol calcium/l, but low calcium concentrations increased the membrane-bound polysomal content of preproPTH mRNA by 200±16% (mean±S.D.). No preproPTH mRNA was detected on free polysomes. Actinomycin D (5 and 10 µg/ml) had no effect on steady-state preproPTH mRNA levels measured in dot-blot assays after 24 h, but reduced levels in cells incubated in 1·0 mmol calcium/l to 54±16% and 39±12% of control values respectively after 48 h of incubation. Similarly, in cells incubated in 0·4 mmol calcium/l, actinomycin D (5 and 10µg/ml) reduced steady-state preproPTH mRNA levels to 57±13% and 45±5% of control values respectively. Actinomycin D did not prevent the rise in polysomal content of preproPTH mRNA induced in cells by incubation in 0·4 mmol calcium/l, but increased polysomal content in cells incubated in 0·4 and 1·0mmol calcium/l by 159±9% and 164±13% respectively after 48 h. These results demonstrate post-transcriptional regulation of PTH synthesis in cultured bovine parathyroid cells, and suggest that this control involves a protein which may be calcium-sensitive.
