To determine the origin of circulating parathyroid hormone fragments, hormonal peptides released from bovine parathyroid tissue in a physiologically responsive in vitro "perifusion" system were analyzed by gel exclusion chromatography and region-specific radioimmunoassays. When exposed to low Ca++, the tissue released large quantities of intact hormone (parathyroid hormone 1--84) as well as amino- and carboxyl-terminal fragments. Fragments of the hormone were also released when the tissue was exposed to high Ca++, but the carboxyl fragments comprised a much greater proportion of the hormonal peptides released. Control experiments indicated that fragmentation of the hormone occurred within the gland and not after it was secreted. These experiments provide direct evidence, therefore, that release of fragments from the parathyroid gland may contribute to the immunologic heterogeneity of the hormone in the circulation.
为了确定循环甲状旁腺激素片段的来源,通过凝胶排阻色谱法和区域特异性放射免疫测定法,对在生理反应性体外“灌流”系统中从牛甲状旁腺组织释放的激素肽进行了分析。当暴露于低钙离子浓度时,该组织会释放大量完整激素(甲状旁腺激素1-84)以及氨基末端和羧基末端片段。当组织暴露于高钙离子浓度时,也会释放激素片段,但羧基片段在释放的激素肽中所占比例要大得多。对照实验表明,激素的片段化发生在腺体内部,而非分泌之后。因此,这些实验提供了直接证据,表明甲状旁腺释放片段可能导致循环中该激素的免疫异质性。
