The 3 peptides exert time- and dose-dependent differential responses in osteoblasts, leading us to hypothesize that they may also differentially modulate the osteoblast transcriptome. We show that treatment of mouse calvarial osteoblasts with 1 nM of the 3 peptides for 4 h results in RNA-Seq data with PTH(1-34) regulating 367 genes, including 194 unique genes; PTHrP(1-36) regulating 117 genes, including 15 unique genes; and ABL regulating 179 genes, including 20 unique genes. There were 83 genes shared among all 3 peptides. Gene ontology analyses showed differences in Wnt signaling, cAMP-mediated signaling, bone mineralization, morphogenesis of a branching structure in biological processes; receptor ligand activity, transcription factor activity, cytokine receptor/binding activity and many other actions in molecular functions. The 3 peptides increased Vdr, Cited1 and Pde10a mRNAs in a pattern similar to Rankl , i.e., PTH(1-34) > ABL > PTHrP(1-36). mRNA abundance of other genes based on gene/pathway analyses, including Wnt4, Wnt7, Wnt11, Sfrp4, Dkk1, Kcnk10, Hdac4, Epha3, Tcf7, Crem, Fzd5, Pp2r2a , and Dvl3 showed that some genes were regulated similarly by all 3 peptides; others were not. Finally, siRNA knockdowns of SIK1/2/3 and CRTC1/2/3 in PTH(1-34)-treated cells revealed that Vdr and Wnt4 genes are regulated by SIKs and CRTCs, while others are not. Although many studies have examined PTH signaling in the osteoblast/osteocyte, ours is the first to examine the global effects of these peptides on the osteoblast transcriptome. Further delineation of which signaling events are attributable to PTH(1-34), PTHrP(1-36) or ABL exclusively and which are shared among all 3 will help improve our understanding of the effects these peptides have on the osteoblast and lead to the refinement of PTH-derived treatments for osteoporosis.","journal":"bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)","year":2023,"id":398157,"datarank":0.0,"base_score":0.0,"endowment":0.0,"self_citation_contribution":0.0,"citation_network_contribution":0.0,"self_endowment_contribution":0.0,"citer_contribution":0.0,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":1,"citer_count":0,"citers_with_citation_signal":0,"citers_with_endowment":0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":0.9582,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2023-01-01","fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":504454,"name":"Zhiming He","orcid":"0000-0001-5900-7600","position":1,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":1102081,"name":"Florante Ricarte","orcid":null,"position":2,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":504453,"name":"Carole Le Hénaff","orcid":"0000-0001-6454-1568","position":3,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":504455,"name":"Nicola C.
