Osteoblast Origin Mesenchymal stem cells related to fibroblasts, cartilage, muscle, and fat

Resorption driven by PTH stimulates what? production of IGF-1 for osteoblastic growth
Parathyroid Hormone chemistry 84 aa. Biological activity resides in N terminal portion. MINUTE TO MINUTE regulation of ionized calcium
The hypercalcemic hormone PTH
PTH and PO4 inhibits tubular reabsorption of phosphate, increased urinary secretion of PO4
PTH increases Vitamin D production where? Proximal tubule
PO4 reabsorption in kidney resulting from PTH action reduced PO4 absorption in PT (Na-P cotransporter is inhibited)
Calcium reabsorption in kidney resulting from PTH action PT: reduced reabsorption, inhibited Na-H exchanger. Enhanced reabsorption in the DT( ECaC) and TAL (paracellular)
How does PTH increase absoprtion of Ca and PO4 in intestine Indirectly by increasing Vit. D
PTH and Bone resorption Indirectly increases bone resortion by stimulating osteoblasts to produce MCSF and OPGL
Elevated levels of PTH and Bone formation Elevated levels of PTH directly inhibit osteoblatic activity. paradox: PTH increases IGF-1 a growth factor for Osteoblasts
Low levels of PTH and bone formation enhance bone remodeling and induce net increase in bone formation
PTH mechanism of action G protein, adenylate cyclase, phospholipase C
What inhibits transcription of PTH? elevated Ca and Vit. D
What elevates transcription of PTH? elevated PO4
PTH preps Teriparatide: rhPTH
Use of PTH drugs promote bone growth, halt osteoporosis, distinguish between pseudohypoparathyroidism (unresponsive to drug) and hypoparathyroidism
Cholecalciferol Vitamin D3. Formed from UV light
Ergocalciferol Vitamin D2. dietary supplements
Calcifediol 25 OH D3. Formed in liver. GOOD INDICATOR OF VIT D STATUS IN PERSON. Main Vit.D compound in plasma. Half life is 2 wks
Calcitriol 1, 25 (OH)2 D3. Formed by 1 alpha hydroxylase in renal mitochondrial. Most potent metabolite of Vit. D.
1 alpha hydroxylase Forms Calcitriol in Kidney
What catabolizes Vit.D 24 Hydroxylase. Ubiquitely expressed in Vit. D target tisses. Initial step in hormone break down
Function of Vit D Raise serum Ca and PO4. day to day balance of Ca.
Vitamin D and intestine Increases absoprtion of Ca and PO4. Enhanced production of ECaC in lumen, more calcium binding proteins, more Ca ATPase in seroso (basolatoral surface).. Increases expression of Na-P cotransporter
Vitamin D and kidney incraeses reabsorption of Ca and PO4. Increases Ca reabsorption in DT and CCT via more ECaC. More Na-P transproters. Suppression of 1 alpha hydroxylase. Stimulates 24 hydroxylase activity
Vitamin D and Bone promotes bone turnover. Deposition of bone (supersaturating levels of PO4 Ca). Osteoclast recruitment, differentiation. Osteoblasts: inhibited proliferation, promotes differentiation
Vitamin D and Chief Cells of Parathyroid gland Reduces PTH synthesis and secretion and suppresses gland growth
Vitamin D and parafollicular cell of thyroid reduces calcitonin secretion
Vitamin D and effect on its own receptor Transcriptionally upregulates own receptor.
Vit. D transcriptional upreg of own receptor: clinical use use of Vit D in early stages of renal failure to prevent resistance; prevents 2ndary hyperparathyroidism
Vitamin D receptors (VDR) high affinity receptor acting as ligand activated transcription factor
Contraol of 1,25 (oh)2D3 biosynthesis genomic Control: 1 alpha hydroxylase gene stimulated by PTH and estrogen and low PO4
Ectopic Vit D production granulomatous conditions (sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, disseminated candidiasis, silicon-indyced granuloma, lymphoma
Metabolic Rickets Renal deficit/phosphate leak, intestinal absorption deficit
Renal Deficit/phosphate leak (cause of rickets) Etiology Hypophosphatemic rickets. Inherited, mostly x linked. Failure to reabsorb PO4. Modest benefit and high doses of 1,25 (OH)2 D3 and phosphate salts
Vitamin D dependent rickets Intestinal absoption deficit. Inherited deficiency of 1 alpha hydroxylase
Hypoparathyroidism and Pseudohypoparathyroidism Low Ca, high PO4
Hypoparathyroidism and Pseudohypoparathyroidism (treatment) D3 compund; DHT (D2 compound) cts rapildy, not as potent; 1 alpha OH Vit D, no need for renal hydroxylation
Renal osteodystrophy (description) RENAL FAILURE>>leads to high PO4, impaired synthesis of Vit D 3, development of secondary hyperparathyriodism
Renal osteodystrophy effects on BONE osteitis fibrosa, osteomalacia
Renal osteodystrophy (treatment) reduce PTH levels, replace defience calcitriol, DHT and 1 alpha OHD3 effective
19 Nor 1,25 ()H)2D3 parathyriod suppressor without calcemic actions
Psoriasis keratinocytes proliferate, do not function normally, Vit. D suppresses proliferation.
Vitamin D excess (side effects) Hypersensitiivity (upreg of Vit D receptor); Hypercalcemia; Dhydration (inhibitition of ADH); Cessation of Growth; feus with congenital aortic stenosis; newborn with low PTH, tentany, convulsions
Bisphosphanates (general) Analogs of Pyrophosphate, not metabolized, very long half life in vivo
Bisphosphanates (preps) Etidronate, Pamidronate, Alendronate, Risendronate
First Generation Bisphosphonate Etindronate; Binds strongly to bone mineral,hydrosyapatite. Released when bone resorbed. inhibits dissolution of hydroxyapatite; reduces bone formation
Second/third Generation Bisphosphonate (general) Amino Bisphoshonates are more potent. Action via osteoclast inhibition. Reduce bone resorption without direct effect on bone formation.
Pamidronate Less effect on bone
Alendronate, Risendronate mode of administration Oral

paget's Disease treatment Bisphosphonates given orally in six month course
Humural Hypercalcemia of malingnancy Induced overproduction of PTH-like protein parathyroid homone related peptide. this protein normally in skin keratinoytes. PTH receptor activated by the protein. PO4 NOT ELEVATED. GFR reduced by elevated Ca.
Humural Hypercalcemia of malingnancy (treatment) Bisphosphnates. Pamindronate infusions last much longer
Osteoporosis Aledronate increases bone mineral density of lumbar spine, femoral neck, trochanter
Bisphosphnate toxicities (1st generation) First generation: sops bone mineralizationand mineral dissoultion, inhibition of bone formation with chronic use (use intermittently)
Bisphosphnate toxicities (2nd generation) Oral agents poorly aborbed. local irritation in upper GI tract. Contraindicate in peope with GI disorders, renal insufficiency. Correct hypcalcemia b4 therapy
Calcitonin function Decreases PO4 and Ca. directly suppresesses osteoclastic acivitity. with continued use, bone formation also reduced.
Calcitonin physiology Delays Ca absorption in intestine, increases urinary excretion of Ca (DT, CCT); and PO4 (PT)
Control of calcitonin secretion Calcium stimulates calcitonin secretion; transcription inhibited by VitD3, stimulated by cAMP/glucocorticoids
Agents that raise cAMP have what effect on calcitonin secretion? Raise calcitonin secretion
