Prostate cancer metastasizes frequently to bone. Elevated extracellular calcium concentrations ([Ca2+]o) stimulate parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) secretion from normal and malignant cells, potentially acting via the [Ca2+]o-sensing receptor (CaR). Because prostate cancers produce PTHrP, if high [Ca2+]o stimulates PTHrP secretion via the CaR, this could initiate a mechanism whereby osteolysis caused by bony metastases of prostate cancer promotes further bone resorption. We investigated whether the prostate cancer cell lines LnCaP and PC-3 express the CaR and whether polycationic CaR agonists stimulate PTHrP release. Both PC-3 and LnCaP prostate cancer cell lines expressed bona fide CaR transcripts by Northern analysis and RT-PCR and CaR protein by immunocytochemistry and Western analysis. The polycationic CaR agonists [Ca2+]o, neomycin, and spermine each concentration dependently stimulated PTHrP secretion from PC-3 cells, as measured by immunoradiometric assay, with maximal, 3.2-, 3.6-, and 4.2-fold increases, respectively. In addition, adenovirus-mediated infection of PC-3 cells with a dominant negative CaR construct attenuated high [Ca2+]o-evoked PTHrP secretion, further supporting the CaR's mediatory role in this process. Finally, pretreating PC-3 cells with transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta 1 augmented both basal and high [Ca2+]o-stimulated PTHrP secretion. Thus, in PTHrP-secreting prostate cancers metastatic to bone, the CaR could initiate a vicious cycle, whereby PTHrP-induced bone resorption releases [Ca2+]o and TGF-beta stored within bone, further increasing PTHrP release and osteolysis.
