Materials & Methods:
Opossum kidney proximal tubule cells that are responsive to PTH (OKP cells) were a gift from Dr. J. Cole (Univ. of Memphis Memphis TN) and were grown in DMEM-F-12 (Invitrogen Carlsbad CA) supplemented with 10% FBS 50 U/ml penicillin and 50 g/ml streptomycin. For experimental work cells were seeded on porous membrane inserts (Corning Lowell MA). At 90% confluency cells were transfected overnight using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen) according to the instructions provided by the manufacturer. The next day the cells were placed in DMEM-F-12 supplemented with 0.2% FBS to synchronize the cells.
