Lecture 39 + 40: cant make me Flashcards
Note about serum Ca2+
-50% ionized (DIFFUSABLE)
-10% complexed (DIFFUSABLE)
-40% protein bound
-total Ca+: 10mg/dL
-diffusable Ca+: ~5mg/dL
Body distribution of calcium
-99% in bone and teeth
-1% in ECF and cytoplasm
Calcium state in bone
-crystalline form
-hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2
Osteoblasts
-bone forming cells
-inc Ca and PO4 from plasma INTO bone
Osteoclasts
-bone resorption cells
-RELEASE Ca+ and PO4 into PLASMA
Osteocytes
-release factors that regulate osteoblast/clast activity
Osteocytes are stimulated by
-mechanical force detected by cell process that extend into canaliculi forming a network involving ACTIN and CONNEXIN 43 connection channels
positive regulators of osteoblasts/neg of osteoclasts
-sense inc load
-inc BMD
-osteonectin
-Nitric oxide
-Dentin Matrix Protein 1
negative regulators of osteoblasts/postitive regulators of osteoCLASTS
-sense dec in load
-dec BMD
-sclerostin
-DKK-1
-RANKL
Regulation of Ca homeostasis by
hormone
-Parathyroid Hormone (PTH)
Parathyroid hormone (PTH)
-peptide hormone secreted from parathyroid gland
-84aa cleaved from 115aa
-aa 1-34 have full activity
-deletion of aa 1 and 2 eliminates activity
PTH effect on calcium
-inc Ca in ECF (PLASMA!)
PTH mech of action
-inc Ca reabsorption from collecting tubules (kidney)(ECaC1/TrpV5)
-inc Ca reabsorption from bone (inc osteoCLAST # and activity)
-inc PO4 loss in urine
-inc 1,25(OH2) D3 production by kidney
PTH secretion triggered by
2 things
-low serum Ca++ levels
-low levels of CSR (GPCR that binds Ca++)
First step of Vitamin D synthesis
-7-dehyrocholesterol (Provitamin D) to Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) by UV irradition of skin
Cholecalciferol
-Vitamin D3
-can be obtained in diet or by exposure to sunlight
Vitamin D3 fate
-transport to liver
-then to kidmey
Vitamin D binding protein
-transports vitamin D3 to liver
-adds OH to the top branch
=25 hydryoxyvitamin D3
25 hydroxyvitamin D3 transport to kidney
-1-a-hydroxylase (if PTH present)
-24-hydroxylase (normal Ca and PO4 levels)
1-a-hydroxylase
-converts 25OH-vitamin D3 to 1,25diOH vitamin D3 calcitriol
-kidney
-only if PTH is present (low Ca and PO4)
-24hydroxylase if no PTH
-adds OH under CH2 on bottom ring
24-hydroxylase
-25-OHvitamin D3 to 24,25 diOH vitamin D3
-secalciferol
-if no PHT present/Ca and PO4 levels ok
-inactive form
-adds OH to top branch
1,25 Dihydroxy Vitamin D3
-Calcitriol
-active form of vit D
-1-a-hydroxylase in kidney
Actions of Vitamin D
-inc Ca and PO4 absorption from small intestine
-inc reABsorption
-indirect effect on calbindins and vitamin D binding protein
-feedback inhibition of PTH
How does Vit D inc Ca and PO4 absorption from small intestine?
-direct, rapid effect on brush border of intestinal mucosal cells
-ECaC2/TrpV6
Absorption of Ca++ from intestine
-Ca2+ enters cell via TrpV6 on brush border
-exists in cell bound to calbindin-D9k
-released from cell by Ca2+ ATP-ase (requires ATP)
Vit D3 upregulates
-TrpV6
-calbindin
-Ca2+ATPase
-also NPt2b which enhances PO4 absorption
Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 (FGF23)
-32kDa protein
-STIMULATES PO4 excretion (supress Npt2a and c)
-INHIBITS PTH secretion
-INHIBITS 1,25(OH)2D3 synthesis (=less P absorption by intestine)
FGF23 secreted by
-osteocytes and osteoBLAsts
-in response to elevated serum PHOSPHATE
FGF23 Auto/paracrine effect on osteoctyes
-inhibits bone mineralization
High levels of FGF23 correlate w
-poor prognosis in pts w CKD on dialysis
Protease-resistant mutant of FGF23
-causes autosomal dominant hypophosphatemic rickets
-excreting too much phosphate
Inhibitors of PTH secretion
-1,25-(OH)2 Vit D3
-FGF23
-High Ca2+
Calcitonin
-negative regulator of serum Ca++
-secreted by C-cells in thyroid gland
-32aa peptide
Calcitonin actions
-INHIBIT osteoCLASTs
-INCREASE Ca++ and PO4 excretion in urine
Calcitonin stimulated by
high serum Ca++
Paget’s Disease
-uncontrolled osteoCLASTIC bone resorption and secondary bone formation that is poorly organized
Paget’s Disease characteristics
-bone pain
-bone deformities
-loss of hearing, HYPERcalcemia
-may be caused by slowly acting virus
Osteoporosis
-shift in bone balance toward resorption
-more osteoCLASTs
-spontaneous or minimal trauma fractures
-hip, vertebrae ribs
causes of osteoporosis
-postmenopause: dec in estrogen levels dec bone mass
-age related dec in osteoBLAST activity
Vertebral complications of osteoporosis
-fragility fracture
-pain
-height loss
-kyphosis
-activity limitations
-restrictive lung disease

-CNS
-depression
