Expression of parathyroid hormone-related protein and the parathyroid hormone/parathyroid hormone-related protein receptor in rat thymic epithelial cells.
Thymic epithelial cells are an important source of cytokines and other regulatory peptides which guide thymocyte proliferation and maturation. Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP), a cytokine-like peptide, has been reported to affect the proliferation of lymphocytes in vitro. The studies presented here were undertaken to test the hypotheses that PTHrP is produced locally within the thymu...
متن کاملParathyroid hormone-related protein in teleost fish.
A brief description is given of the discovery of PTHrP and the roles of the peptide in mammalian physiology. Next, the occurrence of PTHrP in the earliest vertebrates, sharks, skates and fishes, is reviewed and the calciotropic functions of PTHrP are addressed more specifically in fishes. Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) is a hypercalcemic hormone in teleostean fishes, but also has p...
متن کاملParathyroid hormone-related protein promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition.
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is an important process that contributes to renal fibrogenesis. TGF-beta1 and EGF stimulate EMT. Recent studies suggested that parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) promotes fibrogenesis in the damaged kidney, apparently dependent on its interaction with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), but whether it also interacts with TGF-beta and EGF t...
