Abstract
The regulatory role of 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1alpha,25-(OH)2-D3] in metabolism of 25-hydroxyvitamin D was studied in sham-operated (sham) or thyroparathyroidectomized (TPTX) vitamin D-deficient rats into which calcium and parathyroid hormone (PTH) were constantly infused. A single dose of 325 or 650 pmol of 1alpha,25-(OH)2-D3 caused significant inhibition of 1alpha,25-(OH)2-D3 synthesis in D-deficient sham rats. This inhibition by 1alpha,25-(OH)2-D3, however, was not observed in D-deficient TPTX rats into which PTH was constantly infused. These results can be explained by supposing that the major regulatory effect of 1alpha,25-(OH) 2-D3 on 1alpha,25-(OH)2-D3 synthesis is realized mostly, if not all, by suppressing endogenous secretion of PTH.

Abstract
Parvalbumin, a calcium-binding protein thought to buffer intracellular calcium, is expressed in selected neuronal and non-neuronal cell populations. We used a well-characterized antibody directed against parvalbumin to investigate the distribution of parvalbumin in the retina of twelve vertebrate species to evaluate patterns of cellular expression for recurrent functional features. Parvalbumin immunoreactivity was displayed by subpopulations of ganglion, amacrine, bipolar and horizontal cells in different species-specific combinations. In the pigeon retina, subpopulations of amacrine, ganglion and bipolar cells were immunoreactive for parvalbumin. Parvalbumin immunoreactive bipolar cells in this species were mostly confined to the temporal dorsal region of the retina. In the owl, no immunoreactive amacrine cells were found, but many bipolar cells displayed parvalbumin immunoreactivity. In the teleost retina, amacrine and ganglion cells were found to be immunoreactive for parvalbumin. A high degree of species-specific variation was encountered in the mammalian retina. The most consistent finding within this class was that subpopulations of parvalbumin-immunoreactive amacrine cells were consistently observed in every species. In the rabbit, horizontal and ganglion cells displaying parvalbumin immunoreactivity were also seen. In rodents (hamster, ground squirrel), parvalbumin immunoreactivity was displayed by subpopulations of amacrine cells and, in the squirrel, by some ganglion cells as well. In the cat and in the baboon retina, parvalbumin immunoreactivity was found in horizontal cells, ganglion cells and a subpopulation of amacrine cells. The distribution of parvalbumin immunoreactive neurons in the vertebrate retinae studied showed no systematic correlation with phylogenetic proximity. The expression of parvalbumin within the systems of retinal neurons may therefore reflect the functional needs of different visual behaviors.

Abstract
We examined the effect of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) on cytosolic calcium ([Ca]i) of dispersed bovine parathyroid cells, using the fluorescent dye indo-1. The addition of 10(-8) M 1,25-(OH)2D3 caused an increase in [Ca]i by 23.4 +/- 2.7% over a 10 minute period. There was a significant increase in [Ca]i within two minutes of the addition of 1,25-(OH)2D3. 1,25-(OH)2D3 increased [Ca]i in a dose-dependent manner and this occurred with as little as 10(-10) M. Neither 10(-7) M 25-(OH)D3 nor 10(-7) M 24, 25-(OH)2D3 caused a significant increase in [Ca]i. Chelation of extracellular calcium with EGTA blocked the 1,25-(OH)2D3-induced increase in [Ca]i, suggesting that the increase was mainly from extracellular calcium. Neither 10(-5) M verapamil nor 10(-4) M diltiazem blocked the 1,25-(OH)2D3-induced increase in [Ca]i. The present data suggest that 1,25-(OH)2D3 might modify membrane permeability to calcium independent of voltage-dependent calcium channels sensitive to verapamil or diltiazem. The rapid effect of 1,25-(OH)2D3 raises the possibility that its mechanism is independent of genome activation, perhaps attributable to direct interaction with components of the parathyroid cell plasma membrane.

Abstract
Hypocalcemia is the main factor responsible for the genesis of secondary hyperparathyroidism in chronic renal disease. Studies with parathyroid cells obtained from uremic patients indicate that there is a shift in the set point for calcium-regulated hormone (parathyroid hormone [PTH] secretion. Studies were performed in dogs to further clarify this new potential mechanism. Hypocalcemia was prevented in uremic dogs by the administration of a high calcium diet. Initially, ionized calcium was 4.79 +/- 0.09 mg/dl and gradually increased up to 5.30 +/- 0.05 mg/dl. Despite a moderate increase in ionized calcium, immunoreactive PTH (iPTH) increased from 64 +/- 7.7 to 118 +/- 21 pg/ml. Serum 1,25(OH)2D3 decreased from 25.4 +/- 3.8 to 12.2 +/- 3.6 pg/ml. Further studies were performed in two other groups of dogs. One group received 150-200 ng and the second group 75-100 ng of 1,25(OH)2D3 twice daily. The levels of 1,25(OH)2D3 increased from 32.8 +/- 3.5 to a maximum of 69.6 +/- 4.4 pg/ml. In the second group the levels of serum 1,25(OH)2D3 after nephrectomy remained normal during the study. Amino-terminal iPTH did not increase in either of the two groups treated with 1,25(OH)2D3. In summary, the dogs at no time developed hypocalcemia; however, there was an 84% increase in iPTH levels, suggesting that hypocalcemia, per se, may not be the only factor responsible for the genesis of secondary hyperparathyroidism.

Abstract
Controversy exists over a direct effect of 1,25(OH)2D3 on PTH secretion. To investigate the possibility that the suppressive effect of 1,25(OH)2D3 on PTH secretion may be demonstrable in 1,25(OH)2D3-depleted tissue and/or after prolonged periods of exposure to 1,25(OH)2D3, primary monolayer cultures of bovine parathyroid cells were established in 1:1 DMEM/Ham's F-12 media supplemented with 2% calf serum but not 1,25(OH)2D3. Ionized calcium was maintained at 1.0 mM. Experiments were performed on 4-day-old culture cells. PTH concentration was measured using both a mid-region/carboxyl and an amino-terminal PTH antisera. 1,25(OH)2D3 at a concentration of 0.1 ng/ml suppressed PTH secretion by 32 +/- 7% after 48 hours. High calcium concentration (2.0 mM) suppressed PTH secretion by 37 +/- 10% and this effect was not additive over that of 1,25(OH)2D3. PTH secretion rate recovered fully 48 hours after normalization of the external calcium concentration but not after the removal of 1,25(OH)2D3. It is concluded that 1,25(OH)2D3 directly suppresses PTH secretion by monolayer culture of bovine parathyroid cells.

Abstract
Current evidence suggests that administration of 1,25(OH)2D3 to patients with chronic renal insufficiency results in suppression of secondary hyperparathyroidism only if hypercalcemia occurs. However, since the parathyroid glands possess specific receptors for 1,25(OH)2D3 and a calcium binding protein, there is considerable interest in a possible direct effect of 1,25(OH)2D3 on parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion independent of changes in serum calcium. Recent findings indicate substantial degradation of 1,25(OH)2D3 in the intestine, therefore, it is possible that while oral administration of the vitamin D metabolite increases intestinal calcium absorption, the delivery of 1,25(OH)2D3 to peripheral target organs may be limited. We therefore compared the effects of orally or intravenously administered 1,25(OH)2D3 on the plasma levels of 1,25(OH)2D3 and the effects of these two modes of treatment on PTH secretion. Whereas oral administration of 1,25(OH)2D3 in doses adequate to maintain serum calcium at the upper limits of normal did not alter PTH levels, a marked suppression (70.1 +/- 3.2%) of PTH levels was seen in all 20 patients given intravenous 1,25(OH)2D3. Temporal studies suggested a 20.1 +/- 5.2% decrease in PTH without a significant change in serum calcium with intravenous 1,25(OH)2D3. In five patients the serum calcium was increased by the oral administration of calcium carbonate, the decrement in serum i-PTH was only 25 +/- 6.65% when compared with 73.5 +/- 5.08% (P less than 0.001) obtained by the administration of intravenous 1,25(OH)2D3. Thus, a similar serum calcium achieved by intravenous 1,25(OH)2D3 rather than calcium carbonate has a greater suppressive effect in the release of PTH. These studies indicate that 1,25(OH)2D3 administered intravenously rather than orally may result in a greater delivery of the vitamin D metabolite to peripheral target tissues other than the intestine and allow a greater expression of biological effects of 1,25(OH)2D3 in peripheral tissues. The use of intravenous 1,25(OH)2D3 thus provides a simple and extremely effective way to suppress secondary hyperparathyroidism in dialysis patients.

Abstract
Effects of 1,25(OH)2D3 or 24,25(OH)2D3 on plasma PTH were examined following induced hypocalcemia with EGTA. EGTA infusions caused an elevation of plasma PTH within 10 min. Sixty min after the start of EGTA infusions, 1,25(OH)2D3 or 24,25(OH)2D3 were IV administered. Transient (within 5 min) elevations in plasma PTH were observed in two of five animals following the administration of 1,25(OH)2D3 or of 24,25(OH)2D3. Neither secosterol had an effect on the induced elevations in plasma PTH during the remaining 60 min of the EGTA infusions. Twenty-two hr following 24,25(OH)2D3 administration, plasma PTH, ionized and total calcium, inorganic phosphate, and magnesium were normal, while plasma 24,25(OH)2D was elevated. The plasma PTH response to EGTA-induced hypocalcemia was not significantly altered from that observed prior to the administration of 24,25(OH)2D3. Animals, which were IV injected with 1,25(OH)2D3 received the same amount IM 60 min later. Twenty-two h following IM 1,25(OH)2D3, plasma 1,25(OH)2D, ionized and total calcium, and plasma inorganic phosphate were elevated. Plasma PTH and magnesium were lowered. The PTH response to EGTA-induced hypocalcemia was significantly reduced in these animals. A similar reduction in the PTH response to induced hypocalcemia was observed in animals receiving 7 hr IV infusions of calcium chloride. The findings suggest that the blunted response was, in part, the consequence of the preceding hypercalcemia. These results indicate that 1,25(OH)2D3 does not directly regulate plasma PTH secretion and that 24,25(OH)2D3 has no effect on plasma PTH during induced hypocalcemia in the bovine species.

Abstract
Young and preodontoblasts and matrix vesicles which occur in the presecretory region of incisor teeth of growing rats were examined in stained and unstained ultrathin sections in order to characterize sites involved in the initial mineralization of dentin. Common to pre- and young odontoblasts in the presecretory region were hemispherical membrane-associated amorphous densities, measuring 5-35 nm in diameter after fixation in glutaraldehyde-osmium tetroxide or glutaraldehyde only. Amorphous densities were associated also with the limiting membranes of some vesicles in the extracellular matrix. Other vesicles in the extracellular matrix contained needle-like crystalline deposits typical of dentinal matrix vesicles. Fully differentiated odontoblasts in more incisal regions of the tooth lacked plasma membrane-associated amorphous densities. Neither amorphous nor crystalline densities were associated with any other cellular or subcellular structures in cells of the presecretory region. Flotation of ultrathin sections on solutions of EDTA or EGTA removed the amorphous densities from the plasma membranes, suggesting that the amorphous densities are calcium-containing mineral deposits. Amorphous deposits were associated with the membrane of vesicular structures protruding from the surfaces of pre- and young odontoblasts, suggesting that vesicles found in the extracellular matrix arise by budding from the plasma membranes of pre- and young odontoblasts. The occurrence of amorphous mineral deposits in association with the limiting membrane of some vesicles in the extracellular matrix, and the occurrence of needle-like mineral crystals within other matrix vesicles, suggest that an amorphous-to-crystalline phase transformation of mineral takes place within the matrix vesicle. The results of this study suggest that calcium-binding sites associated with plasma membranes of pre- and young odontoblasts act as nucleating centers for primary mineral deposition in tooth dentin.

Abstract
We studied the effects of vitamin D metabolites on parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion. Test materials were injected into the cranial thyroid artery of the dog, and immunoreactive PTH was measured frequently in serum samples from the inferior thyroid vein and the femoral vein. This model for the study of secretion had previously been validated with the use of known modulators on PTH secretion. In control experiments, injection of 100% ethanol, the vehicle in which cholecalciferol (D(3)) metabolites were suspended, resulted in no change in PTH secretion. Likewise, native vitamin D(3), in doses ranging from 250 to 1,250 ng had no effect on PTH secretion. 25-Hydroxycholecalciferol, 25-(OH)D(3), in doses of 125-240 ng, caused complete suppression of PTH secretion. When 24,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol, 24,25-(OH)(2)D(3), was injected in doses of 50-250 ng, suppression of PTH secretion was again complete; in doses of 5 ng, injection of this metabolite resulted in significant but incomplete suppression of secretion. In doses of 50-250 ng, 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) strongly stimulated PTH secretion, but in a dose of 5 ng this metabolite had no effects. Injection of equal doses of 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) and 24,25-(OH)(2)D(3) resulted in significant suppression of PTH secretion. Hypocalcemia-induced stimulation of PTH secretion was suppressed by 24,25-(OH)(2)D(3) while hypercalcemia-induced suppression of PTH secretion was stimulated by 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3). In all experiments showing suppression of PTH secretion, peripheral PTH decreased. Arguments are presented for considering the suppressive effects of D(3) metabolites as physiologic modulators. However, this stimulating effect of 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) occurred only in pharmacologic doses and hence probably has no physiologic relevance.

Abstract
An acidic glycoprotein with calcium-binding properties was isolated from the urine of patients with severe macroglobulinaemia IgM. The molecular weight of this protein determined by Sephadex gel filtration was found to be 62 000 +/- 2800 in Tris - HCl buffer and 21 000 +/- 1000 in 6 M guanidine - HCl. The amino acid and carbohydrate composition of the isolated glycoprotein is presented. Electrophoretic migration of this protein was observed to be greatly affected by calcium ions present in the buffer in a concentration of 10(-3) M. At least two sets of binding sites seem to participate in binding calcium. The values 2.2 - 10(6) M-1 for the apparent association constant and 4.4 - 10(-4) mol of Ca2+ bound per g of protein for high affinity bindings sites were estimated, on the basis of data from the equilibrium dialysis. The origin and possible biological role of this protein is discussed.

Abstract
Specific binding of 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1alpha,25-(OH)2D3] to macromolecular components in the cytoplasm and nucleus is demonstrated in parathyroid glands of vitamin-D-deficient chicks. The interaction of 1alpha,25-(OH)2D3 with the cytoplasmic binding component is of high affinity (Kd = 3.2 X 10(-10) M) and high specificity [1alpha,25-(OH)2D3 greater than 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 greater than 1alpha-hydroxyvitamin D3 greater than vitamin D3 in competing with radioactive 1alpha,25-(OH)2D3]. Both cytoplasmic and nuclear hormone-macromolecular complexes sediment at 3.1 S in 0.3 M KC1-sucrose gradients, and agarose gel filtration of the components indicates an apparent molecular weight of 58,000. The 3.1S binding molecules are not observed in adrenal gland, testes, liver, or kidney, but similar receptors for 1alpha,25-(OH)2D3 have been found previously in intestine. Macromolecular species with a high affinity and preference for 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [25-(OH)D3] are also identified in parathyroid cytosol and differ from the parathyroid 1alpha,25-(OH)2D3-binding component in that: (1) they sediment at 6 S in 0.3 M KC1-sucrose gradients, (2) they are observed in all tissues examined, (3) they have a higher affinity for 25-(OH)D3 than 1alpha,25-(OH)2d3, and (4) they are not found in the nucleus of the parathyroid glands, in vitro. The discovery of unique 1alpha,25-(OH)2D3-binding components in the parathyroid glands is consistent with the sterol hormone's action at this endocrin site and possible involvement in the regulation of parathyroid hormone synthesis and secretion.

Abstract
A review of the chemistry, the biosynthesis, the regulation of the secretion and the metabolism of parathyroid hormone (PTH) provides a background to problems related to the determination of immunoreactive PTH levels in the blood of normal subjects and of patients suffering from disorders of mineral metabolism. Immunoreactive PTH measurements have to be interpreted in the light of the immunoheterogeneity encountered and the occurrence of several circulating PTH species with different molecular weights and immunological properties.
