Expression data from placenta harvested from WT and Pth-null fetuses treated 90 minutes prior with saline or PTH (1-84)

ABSTRACT: Parathyroid hormone (PTH) plays an essential role in regulating calcium and bone homeostasis in the adult, but whether PTH is required at all for regulating fetal-placental mineral homeostasis is uncertain. To address this we treated Pth-null mice in utero with 1 nmol PTH (1-84) or saline and examined placental calcium transfer 90 minutes later. It was found that placental calcium transfer increased in Pth-null fetuses treated with PTH as compared to Pth-null fetuses treated with saline. Subsequently, to determine the effect of PTH treatment on placental gene expression, in a separate experiment, 90 minutes after the fetal injections the placentas were removed for subsequent RNA extraction and microarray analysis.

Project description:The pathogenesis of primary hyperparathyroidism (I-HPT) and secondary hyperparathyroidism (II-PTH) remains to be elucidated. To characterize their pathophysiology, we investigated the effects of calcium and phosphate on cell proliferation and PTH release in an organ culture of parathyroid tissues. Dissected parathyroid tissues obtained from patients with I-HPT (adenoma) or II-PTH (nodular hyperplasia) were precultured on a collagen-coated membrane for 1-4 week. After exchanging the medium for one containing various concentrations of phosphate, PTH release and [3H]thymidine incorporation were studied. In contrast to dispersed parathyroid cells cultured in a monolayer, calcium decreased PTH release in a concentration-dependent manner in parathyroid tissues. Furthermore, when parathyroid tissues obtained from II-PTH were precultured for 1-4 weeks, PTH release and parathyroid cell proliferation were significantly increased in high-phosphate medium. These phosphate effects were also observed to a lesser extent in parathyroid tissues obtained from I-HPT, but there was no significant difference between I-HPT and II-HPT. Microarray analyses revealed that mRNA levels of PTH, CaSR, and VDR were well preserved, and several growth factors (e.g. TGF-beta1-induced protein) were abundantly expressed in II-PTH. Using organ cultures of hyperparathyroid tissues, in which PTH release and CaSR are well preserved for a prolonged period, we have demonstrated that phosphate stimulates parathyroid cell proliferation not only in II-PTH but also in I-HPT. Although the mechanism responsible for phosphate-induced cell proliferation remains to be elucidated, our in vitro findings suggest that both parathyroid tissues preserve to some extent a physiological response system to hyperphosphatemia as observed in normal parathyroid cells. These data will be published in Journal of Bone & Mineral Metabolism. Keywords: Organ culture experiments, dultured in low vs.high phosphate medium
