Parathyroid Hormone (PTH)-Related Peptides Family: An Intriguing Role in the Central Nervous System.
Journal of Personalized Medicine 2023 April 25
Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) plays a crucial role in the maintenance of calcium homeostasis directly acting on bone and kidneys and indirectly on the intestine. However, a large family of PTH-related peptides exists that exerts other physiological effects on different tissues and organs, such as the Central Nervous System (CNS). In humans, PTH-related peptides are Parathyroid Hormone (PTH), PTH-like hormones (PTHrP and PTHLH), and tuberoinfundibular peptide of 39 (TIP39 or PTH2). With different affinities, these ligands can bind parathyroid receptor type 1 (PTH1R) and type 2 (PTH2R), which are part of the type II G-protein-coupled-receptors (GPCRs) family. The PTH/PTHrP/PTH1R system has been found to be expressed in many areas of the brain (hippocampus, amygdala, hypothalamus, caudate nucleus, corpus callosum, subthalamic nucleus, thalamus, substantia nigra, cerebellum), and literature data suggest the system exercises a protective action against neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration, with positive effects on memory and hyperalgesia. TIP39 is a small peptide belonging to the PTH-related family with a high affinity for PTH2R in the CNS. The TIP39/PTH2R system has been proposed to mediate many regulatory and functional roles in the brain and to modulate auditory, nociceptive, and sexual maturation functions. This review aims to summarize the knowledge of PTH-related peptides distribution and functions in the CNS and to highlight the gaps that still need to be filled.
