Human parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) mRNA was detected in all fresh cancer tissues consecutively obtained from 6 patients with humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy (HHM). The primary sites of the cancers in these cases were distributed among different organs including the lung, esophagus, kidney and ovary. PTHrP mRNA was undetectable in all 10 fresh cancer tissues obtained from normocalcemic patients. These results suggest PTHrP as a major cause of HHM.
在连续从6例恶性肿瘤体液性高钙血症(HHM)患者获取的所有新鲜癌组织中均检测到人类甲状旁腺激素相关蛋白(PTHrP)mRNA。这些病例中癌症的原发部位分布于包括肺、食管、肾和卵巢在内的不同器官。在从血钙正常患者获取的所有10份新鲜癌组织中均未检测到PTHrP mRNA。这些结果表明PTHrP是HHM的主要病因。
