The calcium-sensing receptor in bone--mechanistic and therapeutic insights

Nature Reviews. Endocrinology
David Goltzman, Geoffrey N Hendy

Abstract

The extracellular calcium-sensing receptor, CaSR, is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily and has a critical role in modulating Ca(2+) homeostasis via its role in the parathyroid glands and kidneys. New evidence suggests that CaSR expression in cartilage and bone also directly regulates skeletal homeostasis. This Review discusses the role of CaSR in chondrocytes, through which CaSR contributes to the development of the cartilaginous growth plate, as well as in osteoblasts and osteoclasts, through which CaSR has effects on skeletal development and bone turnover in young and mature animals. The interaction of skeletal CaSR activation with parathyroid hormone (PTH), which is secreted by the parathyroid gland, can lead to net bone formation in trabecular bone or net bone resorption in cortical bone. Allosteric modulators of CaSR are beneficial in some clinical conditions, with effects that are mediated by the ability of these agents to alter levels of PTH and improve Ca(2+) homeostasis. However, further insights into the action of CaSR in bone cells might lead to CaSR-based drugs that maximize not only the effects of the receptor on the parathyroid glands and kidneys but also on bone.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.
