Effects of parathyroid hormone on cytosolic calcium in renal proximal tubular primary cultures. 1986

The effects of parathyroid hormone on the cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration of canine renal proximal tubule cells grown in primary culture were determined using the fluorescent Ca2+ indicator quin 2. The cultured cells exhibited responses to hormones, enzyme activities, transport functions, and morphology characteristic of the proximal convoluted tubule. Parathyroid hormone stimulated an immediate rise in cytoplasmic Ca2+, both in suspended cells and cells studied as a monolayer on Nuclepore filters. The rise in cytoplasmic Ca2+ induced by the hormone was sustained for 15-30 min, was dose dependent, and was not mimicked by cyclic AMP. Removing Ca2+ from the extracellular media markedly decreased cytoplasmic Ca2+ and abolished the effects of parathyroid hormone on cytosolic Ca2+. 8-(N,N-diethylamino)octyl-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate blocked the effects of the hormone on cytosolic Ca2+, but mitochondrial uncouplers failed to inhibit the effects of the hormone to increase cytoplasmic Ca2+. These studies support a role of Ca2+ in the activation of proximal renal tubule cells by parathyroid hormone.

D007687 Kidney Tubules, Proximal The renal tubule portion that extends from the BOWMAN CAPSULE in the KIDNEY CORTEX into the KIDNEY MEDULLA. The proximal tubule consists of a convoluted proximal segment in the cortex, and a distal straight segment descending into the medulla where it forms the U-shaped LOOP OF HENLE.

D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
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.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D005453 Fluorescence The property of emitting radiation while being irradiated. The radiation emitted is usually of longer wavelength than that incident or absorbed, e.g., a substance can be irradiated with invisible radiation and emit visible light. X-ray fluorescence is used in diagnosis.
