Parathyroid hormone (PTH) plays a critical role in the regulation of chondrogenesis. In this study, we have found for the first time that Runt-related transcription factor 1 (Runx1) contributes to PTH-induced chondrogenesis. Upon PTH treatment, limb bud mesenchymal progenitor cells in micromass culture showed an enhanced chondrogenesis, which was associated with a significant increase of chondr...

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is essential for calcium and phosphate homeostasis in odontogenesis-related cells. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate association between single nucleotide polymorphisms gene encoding PTH, dental caries Brazilian children. Three hundred fifty-three children (170 boys 183 girls, age ranging from 8 11 years old) were included this study. The International ...

Intermittent subcutaneous injections of parathyroid hormone (PTH) increase bone mass in a variety of animal models and humans. The anabolic actions of PTH on osteogenic cells are mainly mediated through the protein kinase A (PKA) signaling pathway via PTH receptor 1 (PTHR1). We have already reported 3', 5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)/PKA-mediated enhancement of bone morphogenetic prot...

We have investigated the role of protein kinase C (PKC) signal transduction pathways in parathyroid hormone (PTH) regulation of insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-5 (IGFBP-5) gene expression in the rat osteoblast-like cell line UMR-106-01. Involvement of the PKC pathway was determined by the findings that bisindolylmaleimide I inhibited 40% of the PTH effect, and 1 microM bovine PTH-(3-...

Klotho acts as a co-receptor for and dictates tissue specificity of circulating FGF23. FGF23 inhibits PTH secretion, and reduced Klotho abundance is considered a pathogenic factor in renal secondary hyperparathyroidism. To dissect the role of parathyroid gland resident Klotho in health and disease, we generated mice with a parathyroid-specific Klotho deletion (PTH-KL(-/-)). PTH-KL(-/-) mice had...

Type 1 diabetic osteoporosis results from impaired osteoblast activity and death. Therefore, anti-resorptive treatments may not effectively treat bone loss in this patient population. Intermittent parathyroid hormone (PTH) treatment stimulates bone remodeling and increases bone density in healthy subjects. However, PTH effects may be limited in patients with diseases that interfere with its sig...

We previously reported that whereas systemic continuous infusion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) accelerated orthodontic tooth movement, systemic but intermittent injection of PTH did not increase the rate of tooth movement. Analysis of these data suggested that continuous administration of PTH could be applicable for orthodontic therapy. In the present study, we investigated whether local and chr...

Hypoparathyroidism is characterized by insufficient parathyroid hormone (PTH) release from the glands to maintain serum calcium level within normal limits and unresponsiveness of target tissues despite PTH level. defined as low or inappropriately In this narrative review, we discuss etiology hypoparathyroidism in children.
