838 Final Exam Bone and joint disorders: arthri/s, osteoporosis Parathyroid gland: - Typically, 4 glands per thyroid Parathyroid hormone (PTH) regulates the body’s calcium and phosphorus. Parathyroid gland contains adipose, Chief cells and Oxyphil cells o Chief cells: More abundant, produces PTH o Oxyphil cells: Less abundant, unknown funcKon. Start to appear aMer puberty. Parathyroid hormone (PTH): - Released by the parathyroid gland, travels through the blood and has major acKon on the bone and kidney. - Binds to Type-I or Type-II PTH receptors. o Type I- binds PTH and PTH-related pepKde (PTHrP) o Type II- binds only PTH - PTH release is sensiKve to small changes in calcium concentraKon in the body. o PTH on bone: PTH mobilizes calcium from bone o PTH on kidney: PTH enhances renal reabsorpKon of calcium o PTH also causes producKon of calcitriol (vitamin D3) which leads to an increase in intesKnal absorpKon of calcium. PTH indirectly increases intesKnal absorpKon of calcium. - NegaKve feedback loop available incase calcium is too high (can shut down PTH release) - Calcium in the blood is monitored by Ca2+ Sensing Receptor (CaSR) a type of GPCR which is expressed on the surface of many cells (Kidney, Brain, Thyroid C cells). The ligand to this GPCR is calcium and it was the first receptor found to bind to an ion instead of an organic molecule. - Major effect of PTH on phosphate à promotes phosphate excreKon by inhibiKng sodium-dependent phosphate transport in the proximal tubule. Calcitriol (Vitamin D3): - ProducKon is regulated at the kidneys by PTH - Calcitriol is the primary hormone responsible for enhancing Ca2+ uptake from the small intesKne o Facilitates renal reabsorpKon of Ca2+ o Helps mobilize Ca2+ out of bone Fibroblast Growth Factor-23 (FGF-23): - Regulates serum phosphate homeostasis, vitamin D metabolism, bone mineralizaKon. 838 Final Exam Calcitonin: - Released by C cells of thyroid Acts directly on osteoclasts by blocking bone resorpKon induced by hormones like PTH and Vitamin D Has acKons that are opposite the acKons of PTH o Released when plasma Ca2+ increases Bone structure: - - - CorKcal (compact) o Located on the outside of the bone o Accounts for 80% of skeletal mass o Gives strength to the bone o Slowly remodeled Trabecular (cancellous) o Located on the Inside of the bone o Accounts for 20% skeletal mass o Rapidly remodeled 2 Cells in the bones (Osteocytes): o Osteoclasts § Responsible for breaking down the bone (bone-dissolving) § Do not contain PTH hormone receptors § FormaKon requires M-CSF (macrophage colony-sKmulaKng factor) and other signals § Secretes acid and proteases which dissolves hydroxyapaKte matrix and collagen o Osteoblasts § Responsible for building the bone (Bone-forming) § Under the influence of PTH and vitamin D3. • Contain PTH receptors • Secretes osteocalcin, osteonecKn, enzymes, collagen fibers, proteoglycan which form Osteoid formaKons § Concentrates calcium/phosphate into vesicles, an enzyme is secreted which allows calcium/phosphate to precipitate into hydroxyapaKte crystals which then interact with the osteoid formaKons to form the matrix of the bone. Bone remodeling: - PTH effect on osteoblasts causes osteoprotegrin (OPG) and RANK-L to have a direct effect on osteoclasts to differenKate. 838 Final Exam VDR (Vitamin D receptor) is member of steroid receptor superfamily of DNA-binding nuclear receptors - Primary targets: intesKnes and bone Most essenKal acKon: sKmulate acKve intesKnal calcium transport in the duodenum Deficiency causes bone mineralizaKon defects (rickets) Related to calcium and phosphate delivery to sites of mineralizaKon problems - Vitamin D is a prohormone which is produced on our skin when we have exposure to UVB. 7-dehydrocholesterol is stored on the skin (Dermis) and is converted to vitamin D3 by UVB. Transported to the liver and converted to 25-hydroxyvitamin D3. Finally, converted to 1, 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 in the kidney. Calcium Homeostasis Disorders Primary hyperparathyroidism - One or of the parathyroid glands become overacKve – too much PTH secreKon Causes Hypercalcemia Most common cause: chief cell adenomas Treat with surgery Hypoparathyroidism - Parathyroid glands are not producing enough PTH Caused by injury or neck surgery Calcium decreases, phosphate increases Treat with calcium/vitamin D supplements, PTH therapy (Natpara), dietary changes 838 Final Exam Medullary Carcinoma (Thyroid) - ProducKon of excess calcitonin - Causes hypercalcitoninemia (high calcitonin) 20% have geneKc associaKon (mulKple endocrine neoplasia MEN- 2A/MEN-2B) o Hereditary mutaKons in RET proto-oncogene Treat with thyroid surgery Osteoporosis - Bone resorpKon > bone deposiKon Metabolic disorder Most common in women aMer menopause Risk factors: small and thin body type, postmenopausal age, smoking, poor diet, low dietary calcium intake.
