Bovine parathyroid tissue was placed in an in vitro perifusion system for the study of parathyroid hormone secretion stimulated by low calcium and dopamine. Dopamine caused a transient increase in parathyroid hormone release, while low calcium caused a sustained increase in parathyroid hormone secretion. The dopamine response was similar to that caused by isoproterenol. After parathyroid hormone release had been stimulated by dopamine there was no response to isoproterenol, suggesting they cause the release of the same cellular pool of hormone. Inhibition of protein synthesis with cycloheximide eliminated the response to low calcium, with no effect on dopamine-stimulated parathyroid hormone release. These studies suggest dopamine stimulates the release of a limited quantity storage pool of parathyroid hormone, while low calcium causes a sustained release of hormone by stimulating secretion of newly synthesized hormone. Low calcium has little or no effect on release of the storage granule pool of parathyroid hormone.

Abstract. The effects of 125-dihydroxycholecalciferol (1,25-(OH)2D3) and 24,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol (24,25-(OH)2D3) on parathyroid hormone (PTH) release from human parathyroid cells were investigated using an in vitro system of dispersed cells. The cells were obtained from 7 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) and adenoma, 4 patients with primary HPT due to hyperplasia and 2 patients with parathyroid hyperplasia secondary to chronic renal failure. The dispersed cells were incubated in tissue culture medium at low, normal and high external calcium concentrations for 2–16 h. There was a gradual suppression of PTH release (5–55%) when the calcium concentration in the medium was increased from 0.5 to 3.0 mM, thus indicating retained regulation of hormone release. The addition of 1,25-(OH)2D3 in concentrations of 0.1 and 1 ng/ml and of 24,25-(OH)2D3 in concentrations of 1.0 and 10 ng/ml during the incubations did not further affect the amount of PTH released by the cells. The concentrations of the different vitamin D metabolites tested closely correspond to levels observed under normal physiological conditions and during treatment with high doses of vitamin D in vivo. Thus, the findings contradict the idea of any direct short-term regulatory effect of either 1,25-(OH)2D3 or 24,25-(OH)2D3 on the secretion of PTH from hyperfunctioning human parathyroid tissue.

We evaluated the effects of 1 alpha,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol (1,25(OH)2D3), 24R,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol (24,25(OH)2D3), and 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (25(OH)D3) on the release of parathyroid hormone (PTH). Bovine parathyroid tissues were incubated in vitro for 4 h in low-calcium (1.0 mM) medium. 1,25(OH)2D3 ((10(-9)-10(-12)M), 24,25(OH)2D3 (10(-6)-10(-8)M), and 25(OH)D3 (5 X 10(-7)-5 X 10(-9)M) inhibited PTH release. Inhibition by all metabolites was concentration and time dependent. On a molar basis, 1,25(OH)2D3 was the most potent metabolite, being at least 100 times more potent than 24,25(OH)2D3 and 25(OH)D3; 24,25(OH)2D3 was about 5 times more potent than 25(OH)D3 at concentrations producing 65% inhibition. Inhibition by high concentrations of metabolites was evident by 1 h of incubation; inhibition was progressive throughout incubation, and maximal suppression to 30-40% of control occurred during the fourth and final hour of incubation. 1,25(OH)2D3 (10(-11) M), a low concentration that did not inhibit secretion, transiently stimulated release. In conclusion, under conditions of low-calcium-stimulated PTH release, 1,25(OH)2D3, 24,25(OH)2D3, and 25(OH)D3 inhibited PTH release, 1,25(OH)2D3 was the most potent inhibitor.

Abstract Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a common complication of chronic kidney disease, is characterized by elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion and Hypocalcemia. Orai3 is a highly selective calcium (Ca2+) channel that plays important roles in tumor development, cardiovascular disease, and autoimmune diseases; however, its role in SHPT is unclear. In the present study, RNA sequencing and western blot assays were used to detect the expression levels of Orai3 in parathyroid tissue from patients with SHPT and from individuals without SHPT. Ca2+ imaging was used to detect the effect of Orai3 channels on Ca2+ signaling in parathyroid gland cells. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were used to detect changes in PTH release. Orai3 knockout rats were used to detect the effect of decreased Orai3 expression on serum PTH levels. We found that the expression of Orai3 in parathyroid tissue obtained from patients with SHPT was significantly higher than that in patients without SHPT. Knockdown of Orai3 in parathyroid cells by transfection with Orai3-specific small inhibitor RNA inhibited store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) in parathyroid cells. Inhibition of SOCE or knockdown of Orai3 significantly inhibited PTH release in parathyroid cells. PTH levels in the blood of Orai3 knockout rat were significantly reduced. Therefore, Orai3 expression and Orai3-mediated Ca2+ signaling may be a mechanism underlying PTH release, and Orai3 may play a role in the development of SHPT.

The objective of the present study was to elucidate the dynamics of parathyroid hormone regulation, with particular reference to the mechanism controlling the acute parathyroid hormone release. Through utilization of the citrate clamp technique and the calcium clamp technique we were able, in a standardized way, to stimulate and suppress the parathyroid hormone secretion. Precise bedside measurements of blood ionized calcium and measurements of intact parathyroid hormone were performed. Twelve healthy young volunteers participated in two trials 6-12 wk apart, a citrate clamp (delta-blood ionized calcium -0.19 mmol/l) and a calcium plus citrate clamp (delta-blood ionized calcium +0.22 mmol/l and -0.19 mmol/l). During the citrate clamp, preceded by normal calcemia, serum intact parathyroid hormone peaked to a maximum after 5-10 min, four to six times above baseline concentration and then declined to a steady state two to three times above baseline concentration. During the citrate clamp, preceded by hypercalcemia induced by a calcium clamp, serum intact parathyroid hormone also peaked immediately to about five to nine times above its suppressed level, approximately two times above the baseline concentration. Subsequently, serum intact parathyroid hormone declined to a steady state just below the baseline concentration. In conclusion, within the range studied, the mechanism eliciting the acute serum intact parathyroid hormone release from its depot is a fall in blood ionized calcium, not the absolute concentration of ionized calcium.

ABSTRACT The effect of 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol (1,25-(OH)2-D3) on parathyroid hormone secretion by porcine parathyroid glands and human parathyroid adenoma tissue was investigated by in vitro incubation. The addition of 100 nmoles 1,25-(OH)2-D3 to the medium inhibited significantly the release of immunoreactive parathyroid hormone by 63–65 %. This suppression was reversible when 1.25-(OH)2-D3 was removed again. The inhibition of parathyroid hormone release observed in human parathyroid adenoma tissue was similar to that in normal porcine parathyroid glands. This indicates that adenoma tissue is sensitive to regulatory influences. As well as calcium, 1,25-(OH)2-D3 may act as another feedback inhibitor of parathyroid hormone secretion.

ABSTRACT In 22 of 28 cases of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHP) the rise in the serum immunoreactive parathyroid hormone (IRPTH or PTH) level observed in response to lowering of the serum calcium by EDTA, exceeded that obtained in 8 control subjects. In 5 of these 22 patients who were studied again after parathyroidectomy the supranormal response was abolished. Fifteen of these 22 hyper-responsive PHP patients had basal IRPTH levels not exceeding the highest level in the controls and that of other groups of patients investigated (idiopathic hypercalciuria, non-parathyroid hypercalcaemia, operated PHP). Fourteen of the 22 hyper-reactive patients with PHP did not show hypocalcaemia during the infusion of EDTA. The extent of the release of PTH elicited by EDTA in cases of PHP does not as yet allow a prediction of the amount of pathological parathyroid tissue present, although all the PHP patients showing a normal release of PTH had a relatively small mass of parathyroid tissue (up to about 1 g) subsequently removed. In 9 cases of nephrolithiasis (8 of whom had idiopathic hypercalciuria) and in 7 cases of non-parathyroid hypercalcaemia, a normal PTH release was found.
