Parathyroid Hormone-Related Protein-Producing Adenocarcinoma Suspicious of Lung Cancer: A Case Report.

INTRODUCTION: Lung adenocarcinoma with parathyroid hormone (PTH)-related hypercalcemia is uncommon. CASE PRESENTATION: A 69-year-old man was admitted to our hospital due to anorexia and fatigue. Serum calcium (15.0 mg/dL) and carcinoembryonic antigen (361.7 ng/mL) were extremely high, and PTH-related protein (PTH-rP) also elevated (16.7 pmol/L). Systemic computed tomography revealed multiple enlarged lymph nodes and disseminated peritoneal nodules, with irregularly shaped nodules in the upper lobe in the left lung. Ultrasound-guided biopsy from the axillary lymph node revealed adenocarcinoma.…

Parathyroid hormone 1 receptor signaling mediates breast cancer metastasis to bone in mice.

There is evidence that 1-h plasma glucose (PG) concentration during the 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is superior to 2-h PG level in predicting diabetes. We investigated the characteristics of insulin sensitivity and β-cell function behind this observation. After age, sex, and BMI matching, 496 study participants selected from 3,965 individuals without diabetes who were at high risk of type 2 diabetes in a tertiary medical center were categorized into four groups in a 1:1:1:1 ratio based on OGTT results: 1) 1-h PG level <8.6 mmol/L and 2-h PG level <7.8 mmol/L (normal glucose toleran

Vitamin D status and parathyroid hormone assessment in girls with central precocious puberty.

PURPOSE: The objective of this study was to analyze vitamin D status and PTH concentrations in 6- to 8-year-old girls with central precocious puberty. METHODS: A cross-sectional clinical and blood testing study (calcium, phosphorus, 25(OH)D and PTH) was carried out in 78 girls with central precocious puberty (CPP group), aged 6.1-7.9 years. A control group was recruited (137 prepubertal girls, aged 6.1-8.2 years). The criteria of the US Endocrine Society were used for the definition of hypovitaminosis D. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in vitamin D status between both groups.

Parathyroid Hormone Induces Transition of Myofibroblasts in Arteriovenous Fistula and Increases Maturation Failure.

CONTEXT: Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) maturation failure remains a clinical dilemma, and its pathobiology is largely unclear. Secondary hyperparathyroidism is a complication of chronic renal failure that is associated with cardiovascular disease. While parathyroid hormone (PTH) has a prosclerotic effect on vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), its role in AVF maturation failure remained unknown. OBJECTIVE: This work aimed to investigate the association between plasma PTH and AVF maturation. METHODS: Patients receiving AVF creation were enrolled retrospectively. A mouse model of secondary hype…

Acromegaly and non-parathyroid hormone-dependent hypercalcemia: a case report and literature review.

BACKGROUND: Hypercalcemia associated with acromegaly is mostly parathyroid hormone (PTH)-dependent, being caused by parathyroid hyperplasia or adenoma, which are common in individuals with multiple endocrine adenomatosis-1 (MEN-1). The rare occurrence of non-PTH-dependent hypercalcemia associated with acromegaly is attributable to complex factors involving increased intestinal calcium absorption, enhanced bone calcium release, and reduced urinary calcium elimination. Although patients with acromegaly often have mild hyperphosphatemia and hypercalciuria, clinically significant hypercalcemia is …

Local NF-κB Activation Promotes Parathyroid Hormone Synthesis and Secretion in Uremic Patients.

Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in uremic patients is characterized by parathyroid gland (PTG) hyperplasia and parathyroid hormone (PTH) elevation. Previously, we demonstrated that NF-κB activation contributed to parathyroid cell proliferation in rats with chronic kidney disease. Although vitamin D inhibits inflammation and ameliorates SHPT, the contribution of vitamin D deficiency to SHPT via local NF-κB activation remains to be clarified. PTGs collected from 10 uremic patients with advanced SHPT were used to test the expressions of vitamin D receptor (VDR), NF-κB, and proliferating cell…

Paradoxical Response of Parathyroid Hormone to Vitamin D-Calcium Supplementation in Indian Children.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effect of oral vitamin D-calcium supplementation on serum intact parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcium, phosphorous, and alkaline phosphatase (ALK-P) concentrations in children with habitually low calcium intakes. STUDY DESIGN: In this follow-up study to a randomized controlled trial that aimed to assess the effect of vitamin D-calcium supplementation on immunity, data related to dietary intake, anthropometry, and biochemistry [serum 25(OH)D and bone profile] were collected from 178 children-79 in the vitamin D group and 99 in the non-vitamin D group. RESULTS: Die…

[Trends in parathyroid hormone plasma concentration in critically ill patients: prospective observational study].

OBJECTIVE: Introduction: There is no data in the literature regarding trends in parathormone serum concentration assessment in critically ill patients. The aim: To assess the parathyroid hormone plasma concentrations and kinetics in critically ill patients admitted to the intensive care unit due to multiorgan failure. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: Thirty multiorgan failure (at least circulatory and respiratory failure) patients were included. Patients who met any of the following criteria were excluded: acute liver failure, end stage renal disease, hypercalcemia, parathyroid gl…

Serum Parathyroid Hormone and 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Concentrations Before and After Biliopancreatic Diversion.

BACKGROUND: Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS) decreases vitamin D and calcium absorption, which may result in secondary hyperparathyroidism. This study aimed at evaluating the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and secondary hyperparathyroidism before and after BPD-DS. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of patients who had undergone BPD-DS at a tertiary bariatric center between 2003 and 2010 and for whom simultaneous measurements of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and parathyroid hormone were available within 5 years post-op was performed. The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency…

Low parathyroid hormone levels after parathyroidectomy reduce cardiovascular mortality in chronic hemodialysis patients.

BACKGROUND: The aim of the study is to elucidate whether parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels after parathyroidectomy affect the prognosis of patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Two hundred and ninety-five patients, who underwent PTx without autotransplantation from July 1998 to December 2011, were divided into the low (n = 148) and high (n = 147) PTH groups, using the median value of each mean value of intact PTH after surgery (16.6 pg/mL). After observation for 5.00 years, we evaluated demographic factors, influences of postoperative mineral metabolism, magnitude …

Bovine parathyroid hormone enhances osteoclast bone resorption by modulating V-ATPase through PTH1R.

The vacuolar-type H+ adenosine triphosphatase (V-ATPase) plays an important role in cellular acidification and bone resorption by osteoclasts. However, the direct effect of bovine parathyroid hormone (bPTH) on V-ATPase has not yet been elucidated. The aim of the present study was to assess the effects of bPTH on V-ATPase and osteoclasts. Osteoclasts from bone marrow (BM)-derived monocytes of C57BL/6 mice were cultured with or without bPTH. The mRNA and protein expression levels of the V-ATPase a3-subunit and d2-subunit (by RT-qPCR and western blot analysis), V-ATPase activity (using the V type…

Calcium-sensing receptor activation in chronic kidney disease: effects beyond parathyroid hormone control.

Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is an important complication of advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). Cinacalcet, an allosteric modulator of the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) expressed in parathyroid glands, is the only calcimimetic approved to treat SHPT in patients on dialysis. By enhancing CaSR sensitivity for plasma extracellular calcium (Ca(2+)0), cinacalcet reduces serum parathyroid hormone, Ca(2+)0, and serum inorganic phosphorous concentrations, allowing better control of SHPT and CKD-mineral and bone disorders. Of interest, the CaSR also is expressed in a variety of tissues wh…

Parathyroid hormone 1-84 alters circulating vascular endothelial growth factor levels in hypoparathyroidism.

CONTEXT: We previously reported on four patients treated with PTH(1-84) who recovered from postoperative hypoparathyroidism many years after onset. Because vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has been shown to be necessary for the induction of PTH-mediated angiogenesis, we postulated a possible role for VEGF in the recovery of parathyroid function in these subjects. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to measure VEGF levels in subjects with hypoparathyroidism who regained parathyroid gland function and matched controls. SETTING AND DESIGN: Subjects with hypoparathyroidism who regained parathy

Parathyroid hormone and clinical outcome in kidney transplant patients with optimal transplant function.

BACKGROUND: The aim of the study was to investigate whether serum levels of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events, graft loss, or mortality in kidney transplant patients with optimal transplant function. METHODS: From the Norwegian Renal Registry, we identified 522 patients who received a first kidney transplant from 2001 to 2008 with optimal transplant function defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)≥60 mL/min/1.73 m2, more than one yr after transplantation. Cox's proportional hazard models were used to assess the a…

Intraoperative parathyroid hormone assay during focused parathyroidectomy: the importance of 20 minutes measurement.

BACKGROUND: Parathyroid hormone (PTH) monitoring during the surgical procedure can confirm the removal of all hyperfunctioning parathyroid tissue, as the half-life of PTH is approximately 5 min. The commonly applied Irvin criterion is reported to correctly predict post-operative calcium levels in 96-98% of patients. However, the PTH baseline reference concentration is markedly influenced by surgical manipulations during preparation of the affected glands, interindividual variability of the PTH half-life and modifications in the physiological state of the patient during surgery. The aim of this…

Functional characterization of the parathyroid hormone 1 receptor in human periodontal ligament cells.

OBJECTIVES: Intermittent parathyroid hormone (PTH) exerts anabolic effects on bone and has been approved for osteoporosis therapy. The dual actions of PTH are mediated primarily through the parathyroid hormone 1 receptor (PTH1R). Upon ligand binding, PTH1R activates diverse signaling pathways, including cAMP/protein kinase A (PKA)- and phospholipase C/protein kinase C (PLC/PKC)-dependent pathways. PTH1R has been abundantly studied in bone cells. Knowledge on PTH1R characteristics and physiology in periodontal ligament (PDL) cells is still in its infancy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We characterize…

The independent association between parathyroid hormone levels and hyperuricemia: a national population study.

INTRODUCTION: Increased frequencies of hyperuricemia and gout have been associated with primary hyperparathyroidism, and recent clinical trials of parathyroid hormone (PTH) have reported hyperuricemic adverse events. We evaluated the potential population impact of PTH on serum uric acid (SUA) levels by using a nationally representative sample of United States adults. METHODS: By using data from 8,316 participants aged 18 years and older in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2003 to 2006, we examined the relation between serum PTH and SUA levels with weighted linear regressio…
