Post‐transcriptional mechanisms regulating parathyroid hormone gene expression in secondary hyperparathyroidism

Abstract excerpt

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) regulates serum calcium levels and bone strength. Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHP) is a common complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD) that correlates with morbidity and mortality. In experimental SHP, the increased PTH gene expression is due to increased PTH mRNA stability and is mediated by protein-PTH mRNA interactions. Adenosine-uridine-rich binding factor 1 (AUF1) stabilizes...
