The role of vitamin D metabolism in the humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy syndrome (HHM) is unclear. We studied in vivo and in vitro effects of synthetic parathyroid hormone-like peptides (PTH-LPs) on rodent renal 25-OHD-1 alpha-hydroxylase activity. Infusion of mice with PTH-LP-(1-36) at 10 pmol/h for 12 and 24 h showed significant (429 +/- 139% and 937 +/- 413%, respectively) stimulation of control enzyme activity. Infusion for 36 h demonstrated diminution of activity to levels nearer to the unstimulated state (228 +/- 36% of control). In that maximal activity was observed after 24 h of infusion, we examined 1 alpha-hydroxylase activity after variable dosages of PTH-LP-(1-36) at this time point. Animals infused with PTH-LP-(1-36) at dosages of 2.5, 10, and 30 pmol/h for 24 h demonstrated 1 alpha-hydroxylase activities of 0.71 +/- 0.12, 4.74 +/- 2.09, and 9.91 +/- 1.01 ng.mg protein-1.20 min-1 (means +/- SD), respectively, all significantly greater than control activity (0.51 +/- 0.20 ng.mg protein-1.20 min-1). PTH-LP-(1-36) and PTH-LP-(1-74) were comparable in potency to bovine (b)PTH-(1-34) in stimulating 1 alpha-hydroxylase. Direct in vitro incubation of PTH-LP-(1-36) with renal slices resulted in stimulation of 1 alpha-hydroxylase activity up to 200% of control levels, comparable to that seen with equimolar concentrations of bPTH-(1-34).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

D008810 Mice, Inbred C57BL One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.

D010281 Parathyroid Hormone A polypeptide hormone (84 amino acid residues) secreted by the PARATHYROID GLANDS which performs the essential role of maintaining intracellular CALCIUM levels in the body. Parathyroid hormone increases intracellular calcium by promoting the release of CALCIUM from BONE, increases the intestinal absorption of calcium, increases the renal tubular reabsorption of calcium, and increases the renal excretion of phosphates.
