ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Etelcalcetide binds to the extracellular domain of the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR), while cinacalcet binds to the 7-transmembrane domain of the CaSR; however, it is unknown, whether etelcalcetide has similar effects to cinacalcet on parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
The PTH-calcium setpoint and maximum and minimum PTH secretion were determined using an 'in vivo setpoint analyses.' The PTH-calcium setpoint was obtained in a mouse model of primary hyperparathyroidism (PC) and wild-type (WT) mice, with PC mice divided into two groups. The setpoint was obtained after 7 days of etelcalcetide (3.0 mg/kg BW/day) or vehicle administration via anosmotic pump. After 7 days of crossover administration, the setpoint was obtained again. Parathyroid glands were obtained after crossover administration, and CaSR expression was analyzed by immunohistochemistry.RESULTS:
Etelcalcetide administration significantly decreased the setpoint from 9.03 ± 0.56 mg/dL to 6.80 ± 0.28 mg/dL, which was restored to 8.81 ± 0.38 mg/dL after vehicle administration. In the second group of mice, vehicle administration did not alter the setpoint (8.84 ± 0.69 mg/dL to 8.98 ± 0.63 mg/dL), but subsequent etelcalcetide administration significantly decreased it to 7.10 ± 0.72 mg/dL. There was no significant change in maximum and minimum PTH secretion. Expression levels of parathyroid CaSR were lower in PC mice than in WT mice; however, no significant differences were observed between the two mouse groups.CONCLUSION:
Etelcalcetide decreased the PTH-calcium setpoint without changing maximum and minimum PTH secretion in PC mice, suggesting that like cinacalcet, etelcalcetide has calcimimetic potency.Palavras-chave
