Dispersed parathyroid cells were prepared by digestion with collagenase and DNase of parathyroid glands of patients with adenoma or primary hyperplasia. Yields of 50-100 million cells/g of tissue were obtained and the cells were viable by morphologic (95-100% trypan blue exclusion) and functional criteria [linear release of parathyroid hormone (PTH) responsive to ambient Ca concentration]. Cells prepared from 7 of 9 hyperplastic and 8 of 12 adenomatous glands were suppressible 50% (52-90%) or more by Ca. Cells from hyperplastic glands were suppressed by significantly lower concentrations of Ca than those from adenomas and resembled normal bovine [b] parathyroid cells in this respect. This results suggested that a set-point error in Ca-regulated PTH release might contribute to the pathophysiology of parathyroid adenomas. Cells from 2 of 9 hyperplastic and 4 of 12 adenomatous glands were suppressible < 50% (0-48%) by high Ca concentrations, indicating that some abnormal parathyroid glands may function in a truly autonomous fashion. Preliminary immunologic studies showed that incubation media from dispersed cells reacted with N- or C-terminal-directed antisera and parallel with bPTH. Elevated Ca concentrations suppressed immunoreactive PTH release from a preparation of dispersed cells similarly, whether measured by the N- or C-specific assay.
