Nf2 orchestrates β-arrestin2-biased PTH1R signaling to safeguard skeletal integrity

ABSTRACT: Precise spatiotemporal regulation of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and PTH-related peptide (PTHrP) signaling through the PTH1R is fundamental to skeletal development and metabolic bone remodeling, yet the intracellular mechanisms that fine-tune this signaling remain a central unanswered question. Here, we identify neurofibromin 2 (Nf2) as an essential regulator of PTH1R trafficking and signaling. Conditional knockout of Nf2 in chondrocytes results in short-limbed dwarfism, disrupted growth plate organization, and suppressed chondrocyte proliferation and hypertrophy, and a paradoxical bone phenotype marked by trabecular hyperproliferation and cortical thinning. Mechanistically, Nf2 binds to the PTH1R C-terminal domain (464–591 aa) to promote selective receptor internalization via β-arrestin2, without altering Gαs‐mediated cAMP production or initial receptor phosphorylation by GRKs. Loss of Nf2 decouples PTH1R from β-arrestin2‐mediated endocytosis, leading to sustained and amplified signaling through the cAMP‐CREB‐pSOX9 (S181) and VEGF axis. Consequently, Nf2-deficient mice exhibit exaggerated anabolic responses to the PTH1R agonist abaloparatide and are rescued by the inverse agonist cinacalcet. Importantly, Nf2 ablation confers profound resistance to age-related and ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis. These results establish Nf2 as a chondrocyte‐intrinsic gatekeeper of PTH1R signaling and uncover a novel therapeutic paradigm for bone diseases by targeting Nf2‐mediated β-arrestin2 recruitment.

beta-Arrestin Pathway-Selective G Protein-Coupled Receptor Agonists Engender Unique Biological Efficacy In Vivo

Project description:Biased GPCR agonists are orthosteric ligands that possess pathway-selective efficacy, activating or inhibiting only a subset of the signaling repertoire of their cognate receptors. In vitro, D-Trp12,Tyr34-bPTH(7-34) (PTH-{beta}arr), a biased agonist for the type 1 parathyroid hormone receptor, antagonizes receptor-G protein coupling but activates arrestin-dependent signaling. In vivo, both PTH-{beta}arr and the conventional agonist PTH(1-34) stimulate anabolic bone formation. To understand how two PTH1R ligands with markedly different in vitro efficacy could elicit similar in vivo responses, we analyzed transcriptional profiles from calvarial bone of mice treated for 8 weeks with vehicle, PTH-{beta}arr or PTH(1-34). Treatment of wild type mice with PTH-{beta}arr primarily affected pathways that promote expansion of the osteoblast pool, notably cell cycle regulation, cell survival and migration. These responses were absent in beta-arrestin2 null mice, identifying them as downstream targets of beta-arrestin2-mediated signaling. In contrast, PTH(1-34) primarily affected pathways classically associated with enhanced bone formation, including collagen synthesis and matrix mineralization. PTH(1-34) actions were less dependent on beta-arrestin2, as might be expected of a ligand capable of G protein activation. These results illustrate the uniqueness of biased agonism in vivo and demonstrate that functional selectivity can be exploited to change the quality of GPCR efficacy.

Parathyroid Hormone Receptor-1 Signaling Aggravates Hepatic Fibrosis through Upregulating cAMP Response Element Binding Protein-Like 2 (human)

Project description:Background & Aims Parathyroid hormone receptor-1 (PTH1R) is a class B G protein-coupled receptor central to skeletal development, bone turnover, and calcium homeostasis. However, the role of PTH1R signaling in liver fibrosis is largely unknown. Here, the role of PTH1R signaling in the activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and hepatic fibrosis was examined. Approach & Results PTH1R was highly expressed in activated HSCs and fibrotic liver by using human liver specimens or carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-treated or methionine and choline-deficient diet (MCD)-fed C57/BL6 mice. The mRNA level of hepatic PTH1R was positively correlated to α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in patients with liver cirrhosis. Mice with HSCs-specific PTH1R deletion were protected from CCl4, MCD, or western diet plus low-dose CCl4-induced liver fibrosis. Conversely, parathyroid hormone (PTH) aggravated liver fibrosis in CCl4-treated mice. Mouse primary HSCs and LX2 cell lines were used for in vitro experiments. Molecular analyses by luciferase reporter assays and chromatin-immunoprecipitation assays in combination with mRNA sequencing in HSCs revealed that cAMP response element-binding protein-like 2 (Crebl2), a novel regulator in HSCs treated by PTH that interacted with Mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 3 (SMAD3) and increased the transcription of transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) in activating HSCs and collagen deposition. In agreement, HSCs-specific Crebl2 deletion ameliorated PTH-induced liver fibrosis in CCl4-treated mice. Conclusions In both mouse and human models, we found that PTH1R was highly expressed in activated HSCs and fibrotic liver. PTH1R signaling regulated collagen production in the HSCs via Crebl2/SMAD3/TGFβ regulatory circuits. Blockade of PTH1R signaling in HSCs might help mitigate the development of liver fibrosis.

PTH Counteracts Hippo Signaling via Src-dependent YAP Stabilization to Enhance Bone Marrow Stromal Cell Differentiation

Project description:Parathyroid hormone (PTH) regulates serum calcium and phosphate through its actions in bone and the kidney and is used to increase bone in osteoporosis treatment. In bone, PTH targets osteoblasts and osteocytes to regulate bone remodeling but also bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs), regulating their differentiation in the osteoblast and/or the adipocyte lineages. PTH exerts its action through the PTH/PTH-related peptide (PTHrP) receptor (PTH1R), a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), activating adenylyl cyclase and phospholipase C (PLC). Although the effects of cAMP and PKA are well characterized, little is known about the effects of PLC activation or on the cross-talk between PTH signaling and other pathways. Here, bulk RNA-seq of PTH-treated murine BMSC line (W-20) revealed significant changes in the Hippo pathway. PTH stabilized YAP, a key target of Hippo, by decreasing YAP/LATS1 interaction, YAPS127 phosphorylation and YAP ubiquitination, leading to YAP nuclear translocation and expression of YAP target genes. Similar events occurred in osteocyte cell lines. This occurred via an increase in Src kinase activity: we identified YAPY428 as a key tyrosine residue phosphorylated by Src in response to PTH. Preventing Y428 phosphorylation led to YAP instability, blocking both osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation of W-20 cells. These results demonstrate active crosstalk between the PTH/PTHrP and the Hippo signaling pathways and reveal that PTH signaling utilizes the PLC-Ca2+-Src tyrosine kinase signaling cascade to influence YAP stability, antagonizing Hippo signaling and favoring stromal cell differentiation. Thus, PTH signaling counteracts the effects of Hippo signaling in BMSCs to favor their differentiation.

MMP14 cleaves PTH1R in the chondrocyte derived osteoblast lineage, curbing signaling intensity for proper bone anabolism

Project description:Bone homeostasis is regulated by hormones such as parathyroid hormone (PTH). While PTH can stimulate osteo-progenitor expansion and bone synthesis, how the PTH-signaling intensity in progenitors is controlled is unclear. Endochondral bone osteoblasts arise from perichondrium-derived osteoprogenitors and hypertrophic chondrocytes (HC). We found, via single-cell transcriptomics, HC descendent cells activate membrane-type 1 metalloproteinase 14 (MMP14) and the PTH pathway as they transition to osteoblasts in neonatal and adult mice. Unlike Mmp14 global knockouts, postnatal day 10 (p10) HC lineage-specific Mmp14 null mutants (Mmp14ΔHC) produce more bone. Mechanistically, MMP14 cleaves the extracellular domain of PTH1R, dampening PTH signaling, and consistent with the implied regulatory role, in Mmp14ΔHC mutants, PTH signaling is enhanced. We found HC-derived osteoblasts contribute ~50% of osteogenesis promoted by treatment with PTH 1-34 and this response was amplified in Mmp14ΔHC. MMP14 control of PTH signaling likely applies also to both HC- and non-HC-derived osteoblasts because their transcriptomes are highly similar. Our study identifies a novel paradigm of MMP14 activity-mediated modulation of PTH signaling in the osteoblast lineage, contributing new insights into bone metabolism with therapeutic significance for bone-wasting diseases.

The osteocytic actions of glucocorticoids on bone mass, mechanical properties, or perilacunar remodeling outcomes are not rescued by PTH

Project description:Glucocorticoids (GC) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) are widely used therapeutic endocrine hormones where their effects on bone and joint arise from actions on multiple skeletal cell types. In osteocytes, GC and PTH exert opposing effects on perilacunar canalicular remodeling (PLR). Suppressed PLR can impair bone quality and joint homeostasis, including in GC-induced osteonecrosis. However, combined effects of GC and PTH on PLR are unknown. Focusing on subchondral bone and joint homeostasis, we hypothesize that PTH, a PLR agonist, could rescue GC-suppressed PLR. The skeletal effects of GC and PTH, alone or combined, were examined in male and female mice by micro-computed tomography, mechanical testing, histology, and gene expression analysis. For each outcome, females were more responsive to GC and PTH than males. GC and PTH exerted regional differences, with GC increasing trabecular bone volume but reducing cortical bone thickness, stiffness, and ultimate force. Despite PTH’s anabolic effects on trabecular bone, it did not rescue GC’s catabolic effects on cortical bone. Likewise, cartilage integrity and subchondral bone apoptosis, alkaline phosphatase activity, and osteocyte lacunocanalicular networks showed no evidence that PTH could offset GC-dependent effects. Rather, GC and PTH each increased cortical bone gene expression implicated in bone resorption by osteoclasts and osteocytes, including Acp5, Mmp13, Atp6v0d2, Ctsk, differences maintained when GC and PTH were combined. Since PTH is insufficient to rescue GC’s effects on young female mouse bone, future studies are needed to determine if osteocyte PLR suppression, due to GC, aging, or other factors, can be offset by a PLR agonist.

Kindlin-2 modulates PTH1R to regulate bone mass and PTH actions in bone

Project description:To investigation the role of PTH and Kindlin-2 in bone development, we performed single-cell RNA-sequencing. From Con-veh, Con-PTH, cKO-veh, cKO-PTH, we profiled more than 20k single cells, including multi-potent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC), osteoprogenitors, osteoblasts, chondrocytes, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, skeletal muscle cells, pericytes, and schwann cells. We found proportion of part of these cells were significant altered by PTH or Kindlin-2 loss, especially for MSC, osteoblast, chondrocyte, and fibroblast. Transcriptomic analysis revealed gene expression was dramatically regulated by PTH or Kindlin-2 loss.
