Fig. 4. PTHR internalization and recycling upon PTH stimulation are inhibited by H2O2.
A) NNT-PTH at 10 nM, 100 nM or 1 μM concentrations induced PTHR internalization within 30 min. Pretreating cells with 1–500 μM H2O2 significantly inhibited PTHR endocytosis. B) PTHR internalized by 100 nM NNT-PTH recycles to the cell membrane in a time-dependent manner following peptide washout. PTHR recycling was annihilated by pretreating cells for 15 min with 100 μM H2O2. Data represent the mean ± SEM of N = 3 independent experiments. *P <0.05 vs. no PTH (−); aP <0.05 vs. NNT-PTH (0); bP <0.05 vs. corresponding H2O2.
