Transient exposure to PTHrP (107-139) exerts anabolic effects through vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 in human osteoblastic cells in vitro.

摘要

Intermittent administration of the N-terminal fragment of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and PTH-related protein (PTHrP) induces bone anabolic effects. However, the effects of the C-terminal domain of PTHrP on bone turnover remain controversial. We examined the putative mechanisms whereby this PTHrP domain can affect osteoblastic differentiation, using human osteosarcoma MG-63 cells and osteoblastic cells from human trabecular bone. Intermittent exposure to PTHrP (107-139), within 10-100 nM, for only
