Abstract
Intermittent administration of parathyroid hormone can stimulate bone formation. Parathyroid hormone is a natural hormone that responds to serum calcium levels. In this study, we examined whether a transient increase and/or decrease in the serum calcium can stimulate bone formation. Using a mathematical model previously developed, we first predicted the effects of administration of parathyroid hormone, neutralizing parathyroid hormone antibody, calcium, and EGTA (calcium chelator) on the serum concentration of parathyroid hormone and calcium. The model predicted that intermittent injection of parathyroid hormone and ethylene glycol tetraacetic acid transiently elevated the serum parathyroid hormone, while that of parathyroid hormone antibody and calcium transiently reduced parathyroid hormone in the serum. In vitro analysis revealed that parathyroid hormone's transient changes (both up and down) elevated activating transcription factor 4-mediated osteocalcin expression. In the mouse model of osteoporosis, both intermittent administration of calcium and ethylene glycol tetraacetic acid showed tendency to increase bone mineral density of the upper limb (ulna and humerus) and spine, but the effects varied in a region-specific manner. Collectively, the study herein supports a common bone response to administration of calcium and its chelator through their effects on parathyroid hormone.

Total and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase are associated with bone mineral density over time in end-stage renal disease patients starting dialysis. J Nephrol 2016; 30:255-262. [PMID: 26994005 DOI: 10.1007/s40620-016-0292-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2015] [Accepted: 02/15/2016] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and bone-specific ALP (BALP) are implicated in the abnormal skeletal mineralization and accelerated vascular calcification in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Whereas ALP and BALP may predict mortality in CKD, BALP is reported to have higher sensitivity and specificity than total ALP in reflecting histological alterations in bone; however, results on their associations with bone mineral density (BMD) are inconsistent. Here we evaluated associations of total ALP and BALP with BMD during up to 24 months in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. METHODS In this longitudinal study, 194 ESRD patients (median age 57 years, 66 % male, 32 % diabetes mellitus, mean body mass index 24.8 kg/m2) underwent measurements of total ALP and BALP and total and regional body BMD (by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) at dialysis initiation (n = 194), and after 12 (n = 98) and 24 months (n = 40) on dialysis. RESULTS At baseline, patients had median total ALP 65.4 (43.3-126.4) U/l, BALP 13.5 (7.1-27.3) µg/l and BMD 1.14 (0.97-1.31) g/cm2. During the study period, serum concentrations of ALP and BALP increased significantly (p < 0.001), whereas total and regional BMD remained stable. BMD correlated inversely with total ALP (rho = -0.20, p = 0.005) and BALP (rho = -0.30, p < 0.001) at baseline, and correlations were similar also at 12 and 24 months. CONCLUSION ALP and BALP are equally accurate albeit weak predictors of BMD in ESRD patients, both at baseline and longitudinally. The dissociation between stable BMD and increasing ALP and BALP may possibly reflect increased soft tissue calcifications with time on dialysis.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Regulation of calcium homeostasis during a lifetime is a complex process reflecting a balance among intestinal calcium absorption, bone calcium influx and efflux, and renal calcium excretion. Perturbations can result in hypocalcemia or hypercalcemia and adaptations in calcium handling must occur during growth and aging. RECENT FINDINGS Study of the calcium sensing receptor in the thick ascending limb of Henle and TRPV5 in the distal tubule continues to provide insights into regulation of renal calcium excretion. Hypercalcemia-induced secretion of calcitonin via activation of the calcium-sensing receptor may protect against the development of hypercalcemia. A calcilytic was shown to increase serum calcium by decreasing renal calcium excretion. Ezrin, a cross-linking protein important for renal phosphate handling, is also involved in the regulation of intestinal calcium absorption. Increased 1,25-hydroxyvitamin D (1,25D) values were shown to protect against the development of hypocalcemia by increasing calcium efflux and decreasing calcium influx in bone. Finally, fibroblast growth factor 23 stimulation, which should result in suppression of 1,25D, was shown to be prevented in a model of vitamin D deficiency in which maintenance of 1,25D is important in minimizing hypocalcemia. SUMMARY Recent information has provided new insights on how intestinal, bone and renal mechanisms are regulated to maintain calcium homeostasis.
