Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) acts on the kidney by binding to the PTH receptor, leading to a decrease in the active renal reabsorption of phosphate by the Na-Pi cotransporter, which is also independently activated by hypophosphatemia. We have studied the effects of hypo- and hyperparathyroidism and hypophosphatemia on PTH receptor mRNA and Na-Pi cotransporter mRNA and protein. Both surgical parathyroidectomy and hypophosphatemia, which itself leads to hypoparathyroidism, led to an upregulation of the PTH receptor mRNA and Na-Pi cotransporter mRNA and protein. Parathyroidectomized rats fed a low-Pi diet had an increase in PTH receptor and Na-Pi cotransporter mRNAs. Diet-induced hyperparathyroidism had no effect on PTH receptor mRNA and Na-Pi cotransporter mRNA and protein. The effect of hypoparathyroidism and hypophosphatemia to increase both PTH receptor mRNA and Na-Pi cotransporter mRNA and protein shows that there is a tight coordinate regulation of these factors, which are both involved in PTH action.
