A "carboxyl terminal" clinical radioimmunoassay for parathyroid hormone with apparent recognition preference for the intact hormone.

A radioimmunoassay for Parathyroid Hormone which is used in a clinical setting was characterized by immunoreactivity with various synthetic fragments of the hormone, serum parathyroid hormone response to oral calcium intake in normocalcemic calcium stone-formers, and ability to detect fragments of parathyroid hormone secreted by abnormal human parathyroid tissue in vitro. Although almost all of the recognition sites for the antiserum were within the 53-84 carboxyl terminal amino acid sequence of the hormone, the radioimmunoassay mainly detected the "intact" hormone rather than the carboxyl terminal fragment(s) which most "carboxyl-terminal" assays of parathyroid hormone are claimed to preferentially detect. Differences in tertiary structure between the intact hormone and its fragments probably account for the relative inability of this antiserum to detect the carboxyl terminal fragment(s).

Immunocytochemical demonstration of a novel system of neuroendocrine peptidergic neurons in the pond snail Lymnaea stagnalis, with antisera to the teleostean hormone hypocalcin and mammalian parathyroid hormone.

Immunocytochemical staining with antisera raised against trout hypocalcin, the hypocalcemic hormone of the Stannius corpuscles and against bovine parathyroid hormone (bPTH1-84), revealed a new system of neuroendocrine neurons in the pond snail Lymnaea stagnalis. The neurons are located in small groups or single cells in the visceral, parietal, and pedal ganglia of the central nervous system. The axons of these cells are running to the periphery of the pleuroparietal, visceroparietal, and pleuropedal connections, the dorsopedal commissure, and to several nerves originating in the visceral, parietal, and pedal ganglia. The axons are ending with characteristic axonal distensions in the periphery of these connectives, commissure, and nerves. These regions probably act as neurohaemal areas. The affinity of this neuroendocrine system for both the anti-hypocalcin and anti-PTH sera is another indication for a special relationship between hypocalcin and PTH, which possess some immunological resemblance and similar biological activities, although no similarity in primary structure.

Characterization of fully active biotinylated parathyroid hormone analogs. Application to fluorescence-activated cell sorting of parathyroid hormone receptor bearing cells.

[Nle8,18,Tyr34]bPTH-(1-34)amide (NlePTH) was biotinylated using sulfosuccinimidyl 6-(biotinamido)hexanoate, in dimethyl sulfoxide, and the multiple resulting peptides peaks were separated by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography. Their biological activities were compared with those of NlePTH, the parent compound, in radioreceptor and cAMP accumulation bioassays using rat osteosarcoma 17/2.8 cells; the earliest two eluting products, bioPTH 1 and 2, were equipotent, a third, bioPTH 3, was only 10% as potent, and the remaining, later eluting derivatives all were less than 0.1% as active. Competitive avidin binding assays using [3H]biotin suggested that bioPTH 1 and 2 had a single biotin congener per molecule, while bioPTH 3 contained two biotin residues. Upon Edman degradation, bioPTH 1 contained biotin on the lysine at position 13 of NlePTH; bioPTH 2's biotin was on the lysine at position 26 (or 27) and bioPTH 3 had biotins on lysines at both positions 13 and 26 (or 27). Avidin tagged with 125I, peroxidase, or fluorescein isothiocyanate was detected on bone-derived cells which had been incubated initially with bioPTH 2 (1, 10, and 100 nM) for 4 h, but not when NlePTH (1 microM) was added with bioPTH 2. A fluorescence-activated cell sorter detected a symmetrical shift in fluorescence of bone-derived cells incubated with 10 nM of bioPTH 2 and 10 micrograms/ml fluorescein isothiocyanate-avidin. Addition of a 30-fold molar excess of NlePTH, or omission of bioPTH 2, completely reversed this fluorescence shift, and no shift in fluorescence was seen with cells lacking PTH receptors. This fully active, high affinity biotinylated PTH-derivative should prove useful in the study of PTH receptor-bearing cells.

Effects of 1,25- and 24,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol on parathyroid hormone release from human parathyroid cells in vitro.

The effects of 1,25-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.

The arterio-venous difference for immunoreactive parathyroid hormone and the production of adenosine 3,'5'-monophosphate by isolated perfused bone: studies with analogs of parathyroid hormone.

Recent studies suggest that the uptake of immunoreactive parathyroid hormone (iPTH) displays different characteristics in liver, kidney, and bone. Using the isolated perfused canine bone, we have characterized the uptake of two synthetic analogs of PTH, bovine PTH-(3-34) [bPTH-3(3-34)] and [Nle8,Nle18,Tyr34]bPTH-(3-34) amide, which had previously been shown to inhibit PTH-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in renal membranes. During the infusion of synthetic bPTH-(1-34) (3 ng/ml), extraction of iPTH by isolated perfused bone averaged 37 +/- 1%, and cAMP production rose from 6.2 +/- 2.0 to 21 +/- 3 pmol/min. Extraction of bPTH-(3-34) was similar (35 +/- 2%), but cAMP levels did not increase over baseline with PTH concentrations as high as 100 ng/ml. Simultaneous infusion of bPTH-(1-34) and bPTH-(3-34) at molar ratios of 1:2 led to a 50% inhibition of PTH-stimulated cAMP increases. The extraction by bone of the more potent in vitro inhibitor of renal cortical adenylate cyclase [Nle8,Nle18,Tyr34]bPTH-(3-34) NH2 (3 ng/ml) averaged 39 +/- 2%. In contrast, cAMP production rose from a baseline of 5.6 +/- 0.5 to 12.5 +/- 2.0 pmol/min, demonstrating agonist activity for the analog. These studies show that [Nle3,Nle18,Tyr34]bPTH-(3-34) NH2 has agonist properties in isolated perfused bone, and unsubstituted bPTh-(3-34) inhibits PTH-stimulated cAMP release by perfused bone.
