Abstract
BACKGROUND Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is characterized by hyperplasia of the parathyroid glands (PTGs), while the underlying mechanism is not completely understood. Previously we demonstrated a relationship between cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2) overexpression and parathyroid hyperplasia and here we investigate the role of COX2 downstream metabolic product prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and its receptor EP2 in the pathogenesis of SHPT. METHODS PTGs isolated from ESRD patients with advanced SHPT were used to test the expression of COX2-microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 (mPGES-1)-EP2 pathway. A diffuse proliferative section of the PTGs was used for tissue culture and treated with high phosphate (HPi) medium, COX2-PGE2-EP2 pathway inhibitors or agonists. EP2 short hairpin RNA (shRNA) lentivirus was locally applied to treat an SHPT rat model. RESULTS In PTGs isolated from ESRD patients, enhanced immunoactivities of COX2, mPGES-1 and EP2 were observed. In primary cultured PTG tissues, HPi induced intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) secretion, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) expression and COX2 activity, while COX2 and EP2 inhibitors attenuated hyperparathyroidism promoted by HPi. Furthermore, PGE2 or EP2 agonist (butaprost) directly stimulated hyperparathyroidism, whereas EP2 receptor antagonist or cyclic adenosine monophosphate inhibitor attenuated the hyperparathyroidism promoted by PGE2 or butaprost. EP2 shRNA treatment significantly reduced excessive expressions of EP2 and PCNA in the PTGs of nephrectomy rats fed an HPi diet, diminished the size of PTGs and downregulated serum iPTH levels. CONCLUSIONS The COX2 downstream PGE2 and its receptor EP2 may play an important role in HPi-induced parathyroid hyperplasia and may serve as a potential therapeutic target for SHPT in ESRD.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are associated with abnormalities in bone and mineral metabolism, known as CKD-bone mineral disorder. CKD and ESRD cause skeletal abnormalities characterized by hyperparathyroidism, mixed uremic osteodystrophy, osteomalacia, adynamic bone disease, and frequently enhanced vascular and ectopic calcification. Hyperparathyroidism and mixed uremic osteodystrophy are the most common manifestations due to phosphate retention, reduced concentrations of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, intestinal calcium absorption, and negative calcium balance. Treatment with 1-hydroxylated vitamin D analogues is useful.

Abstract
Secondary hyperparathyroidism classically appears during the course of chronic renal failure and sometimes after renal transplantation. Understanding the mechanisms by which parathyroid hormone (PTH) synthesis and secretion are normally regulated is important in devising methods to regulate overactivity and hyperplasia of the parathyroid gland after the onset of renal insufficiency. Rapid regulation of PTH secretion in response to variations in serum calcium is mediated by G-protein coupled, calcium-sensing receptors on parathyroid cells, whereas alterations in the stability of mRNA-encoding PTH by mRNA-binding proteins occur in response to prolonged changes in serum calcium. Independent of changes in intestinal calcium absorption and serum calcium, 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D also represses the transcription of PTH by associating with the vitamin D receptor, which heterodimerizes with retinoic acid X receptors to bind vitamin D-response elements within the PTH gene. 1α,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D additionally regulates the expression of calcium-sensing receptors to indirectly alter PTH secretion. In 2°HPT seen in renal failure, reduced concentrations of calcium-sensing and vitamin D receptors, and altered mRNA-binding protein activities within the parathyroid cell, increase PTH secretion in addition to the more widely recognized changes in serum calcium, phosphorus, and 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D. The treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism by correction of serum calcium and phosphorus concentrations and the administration of vitamin D analogs and calcimimetic agents may be augmented in the future by agents that alter the stability of mRNA-encoding PTH.

Abstract
Secondary hyperparathyroidism often occurs in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and vitamin D deficiency, resulting in increased fractures and mortality. Understanding factors that stimulate parathyroid hormone (PTH) synthesis is important for devising methods to treat this condition. Previous work has demonstrated that murine Pth mRNA levels are regulated by proteins that bind AU-rich elements (AREs) within the 3' UTR region of Pth mRNA and influence Pth mRNA stability. In this issue of the JCI, Nechama et al. demonstrate that in murine secondary hyperparathyroidism associated with CKD or Ca deficiency, the activity of Pin1, a peptidyl-prolyl isomerase, is reduced (see the related article beginning on page 3102). Reduced Pin1 activity resulted in the phosphorylation and degradation of an ARE-binding protein, K-homology splicing regulator protein (KSRP), which normally enhances the degradation of Pth mRNA. The activity of other ARE-binding proteins, such as AU-rich binding factor 1 (AUF1), that increase Pth mRNA stability, was increased, thereby increasing PTH synthesis. This work suggests new ways by which to regulate PTH synthesis in secondary hyperparathyroidism.
