The pathogenesis of primary hyperparathyroidism (IA degrees-HPT) and secondary hyperparathyroidism (IIA degrees-HPT) remains to be elucidated. To characterize their pathophysiology, we investigated the effects of calcium and phosphate on cell proliferation and PTH release in an organ culture of parathyroid tissues. Dissected parathyroid tissues obtained from patients with IA degrees-HPT (adenoma) or IIA degrees-HPT (nodular hyperplasia) were precultured on a collagen-coated membrane for 1-4 week. After changing the medium for one containing various concentrations of phosphate, PTH release and [H-3]thymidine incorporation were studied. In contrast to dispersed parathyroid cells cultured in a monolayer, calcium decreased PTH release in a concentration-dependent manner in parathyroid tissues. Furthermore, when parathyroid tissues obtained from IIA degrees-HPT were precultured for 1-4 weeks, PTH release and parathyroid cell proliferation were significantly increased in high-phosphate medium. These phosphate effects were also observed to a lesser extent in parathyroid tissues obtained from IA degrees-HPT, but there was no significant difference between IA degrees-HPT and IIA degrees-HPT. Microarray analyses revealed that mRNA levels of PTH, CaSR, and VDR were well preserved, and several growth factors (e.g. TGF-beta1-induced protein) were abundantly expressed in IIA degrees-HPT. Using organ cultures of hyperparathyroid tissues, in which PTH release and CaSR are well preserved for a prolonged period, we have demonstrated that phosphate stimulates parathyroid cell proliferation not only in IIA degrees-HPT but also in IA degrees-HPT. Although the mechanism responsible for phosphate-induced cell proliferation remains to be elucidated, our in vitro findings suggest that both parathyroid tissues preserve to some extent a physiological response system to hyperphosphatemia as observed in normal parathyroid cells.
