Abstract:Objective To study the expression of calcium sensing receptor (CaR) protein in parathyroid tissue of uremic secondary hyperparathyroidism(SHPT).Methods The expressions of CaR in normal controls(n=5) and parathyroid glands,including five diffuse hyperplasia and five nodular hyperplasia obtained from uremic hyperparathyroidism patients(n=5) were examined by immunohistochemistry.Results The CaR protein expressed both in the cellular membrane and cytoplasm in normal parathyroid tissue.The CaR expression was significantly decreased in SHPT compared to that in normal controls [(27.88±4.90)% vs(75.20±2.31)%,P<0.01].The positive cell rate was lower in nodular hyperplasia than that in diffuse hyperplasia[ (15.75±1.75)% vs.(40±3.34)%,P<0.01].In diffuse hyperplasia,the immunostaining of cytoplasm diminished markedly whereas the membrane staining was still obvious in some cells.In nodular hyperplasia,the CaR expression was decreased in both cytoplasm and membrane.There was a negative correlation between the expression of CaR and the weight of gland(r=-0.86,P<0.01).Conclusion The CaR expression in parathyroid glands of uremic hyperparathyroidism is decreased,especially in nodular hyperplastic tissue.Decreased CaR expression would be compatible with a less efficient control of PTH secretion.The parathyroid calcium receptor will be a novel therapeutic target for treating uremic byperparathyroidism.
