II,1977 SUMMARY
Cholera toxin was added to the culture of fetal rat limb bone and its effect on calcium release as well as on adenylate cyclase activity was examined. Cholera toxin increased the content of adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (CAMP) in bone. The effect on CAMP was of slower onset and of longer duration as compared with parathyroid hormone (PTH) effect. PTH added to the tissue which had been stimulated by cholera toxin increased CAMP further but the effect was partially additive. In contrary to PTH which caused a clear calcium mobilization, cholera toxin by itself had no effect or rather inhibited the release of 45Ca from the prelabeled bone. When the toxin (0.1-l yg/ml) was combined with PTH (10 U/ml), calcium release stimulated by PTH was completely abolished.

METHODS AND MATERIALS A pair of radius and ulna from each limb of fetus of 18-19th day of gestation was excised and cultured on stainlesssteel grid in 1 ml of Ham F 12 medium (Nissui Seiyaku Co., Tokyo) in an atmosphere of 5 % CO2 and 95 % air at 37°C. The culture medium was modified to contain 1 mM calcium, 1 % bovine serum albumin, 5000 II/l00 ml of penicillin and 5 mg/lOO ml of streptomycin sulfate. After 24 hours of culture, the medium was changed to the same control culture medium or containing appropriate addition(s). To examine the level of CAMP in bone, 0.5 mM of 3-isobutyl-l-methyl xanthine (Aldrich Chemical Co.) was added to the culture medium 30 min prior to the termination of reaction. The tissue was homogenized in cold 7.5 % trichloroacetic acid in glass homogenizer, and the extract was shaken for 3 times with The formwater-saturated ethyl ether and neutralized further with 0.1 M Tris. ed precipitate was removed by centrifugation and CAMP purified on Dowex 50-X8 (H+ form) column was measured by Gilman's method as described elsewhere (19). Trichloroacetic acid precipitate was dissolved in 1 N NaOH and protein was determined by the method of Lowry et al (20) usin bovine serum albumin as standard. To measure the release of calcium, pregnant rat was injected intraperitoneally with 300 $i of 45CaC12 (21.4 mCi/mg, New England Nuclear) on 17th A pair of radius and ulna day of pregnancy and was killed 24 hours thereafter. from each limb of fetus was incubated for 24 hours in control medium as described above.

Fig. 2 Effects of cholera toxin and PTH on 45 Ca release from prelabeled bone. Prelabeled fetal bone was cultured for 24 hours in the control medium. Thereafter, the medium containing indicated addition was changed every 24 hours and 45Ca in it was counted. The percentage release of total 45Ca shown was determined as described in Methods. Each mean -+ SEM is of 4 cultures.
priate addition, was changed every 24 hours for 3 days, and released 45Ca during each 24 hours was counted in scintillation fluid containing 30 % Triton, 70 % toluene, 10 mg/lOO ml 1,4-bis[2-(5-phenyl oxazol.yl)] benzene and 0.4 g/100 ml 2,5-diphenyl oxazole. At the end of 3 days of this experimental culture, the tissue was homogenized in 0.3 ml of water in glass homogenizer and counted for radioactivity after dissolving in 0.5 ml of Protosol (New England Nuclear). The percentage release of total 45Ca was determined by measured radioactivity in both bone and medium and was calculated as follows: percent release = (medium 45Ca/[medium 45Ca + bone 45Cal) x 100. PTH (trichloroacetic acid powder, 363 U/mg) and cholera toxin (lot No. CZ-2820) were purchased from Inolex Corp. and Schwarz/Mann, respectively. RESULTS Cholera bone
