Abstract:
Objective To investigate the expression of parathyroid hormone/parathyroid hormone relative protein (PTH/PTHrP) receptor of osteoblast in hemodialysis patients and the effects of calcium channel blocker(CCB) and calcitriol on it. Methods Twenty-one patients on HD were randomly divided into three groups. Six patients were treated with CCB for 8 weeks. Seven patients were given calcitriol for 8 weeks. The rest 8 cases did not take either CCB or calcitriol. Five healthy people were selected as control group. The serum levels of iPTH, BUN, Scr, calcium and phosphorus were measured. The osteoblast was prepared from cultured bone marrow. PTH receptor mRNA expression was detected by semi-quantitive RT-PCR. Results The level of PTH/PTHrP receptor mRNA decreased significantly in patients on HD as compared with control group, and increased in patients with CCB. In calcitriol treated group, and PTH/PTHrP receptor was obviously down-regulated with larger dose of calcitriol(0. 75?g/d), and up-regulated with low dose(0. 25?g/d) . Conclusion Expression of PTH/PTHrP receptor down-regulates in osteoblast of HD patients. CCB can up-regulate the expression of PTH/PTHrP receptor. A large dose of calcitriol may decrease iPTH level and down-regulate PTH/PTHrP receptor expression.
