Abstract

Both chronic excess of PTH, as in hyperparathyroidism, and intermittent elevation of PTH (by daily injections) increase the number of osteoblasts; albeit, the former is associated with bone catabolism and the later with bone anabolism. Intermittent PTH increases osteoblast number by attenuating osteoblast apoptosis, an effect that requires the transcription factor Runx2. However, chronic elevation of PTH does not affect osteoblast apoptosis because it stimulates the proteasomal degradation of Runx2. Here, we studied the effects of PTH on Sost, a Runx2 target gene expressed in osteocytes (former osteoblasts embedded in the bone matrix), which antagonizes the pro-osteoblastogenic actions of bone morphogenetic proteins and Wnts. We report that continuous infusion of PTH to mice for 4 d decreased Sost mRNA expression in vertebral bone by 80–90%. This effect was accompanied by a comparable reduction of sclerostin, the product of Sost, in osteocytes, as determined by quantitative immunoblot analysis of bone extracts and by immunostaining. In contrast, a single injection of PTH caused a transient 50% reduction in Sost mRNA at 2 h, but four daily injections had no effect on Sost mRNA or sclerostin. PTH strongly decreased Sost expression in osteocytes formed in primary cultures of neonatal murine calvaria cells as well as in osteocytic MLO-A5 cells, demonstrating a direct effect of PTH on this cell type. These results, together with evidence that sclerostin antagonizes bone morphogenetic proteins and Wnts, strongly suggest that suppression of Sost by PTH represents a novel mechanism for hormonal control of osteoblastogenesis mediated by osteocytes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
