Embryology, Anatomy, and Physiology of the Parathyroid Glands

Johnathan G.H. Hubbard
Introduction
The parathyroid glands were first dissected and described in the Indian Rhinoceros by Richard Owen from an animal that died in the London Zoological Gardens in 1850. This specimen can still be viewed in the Hunterian Museum at the Royal College of Surgeons in London. The Swedish anatomist and medical student Sand­strom subsequently described and named the glands in 1880.
There are usually four Parathyroid glands close to the thyroid gland whose combined weight is approximately 240 mg. They are yel­low/brown in color and roughly the size of a lentil. They can become significantly enlarged in pathological conditions such as primary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) (Fig. 15.1).
Embryology
Mesodermal condensations develop in the pri­mitive pharynx of the human embryo to form branchial arches in the 4th to 5th week of devel­opment [1]. These arches are separated by clefts or pouches. The parathyroid glands develop from the endoderm of the third and fourth pouches. The fifth pouch, from which the ulti­mobranchial body is derived is atypical. It shares a common entrance to the pharynx with the fourth pouch and is usually considered as part of the fourth pouch [1].
Inferior Parathyroid
The inferior parathyroid (PIII) develops from the dorsal aspect of the third pouch while the thymus develops from the ventral aspect. They separate from the pharynx, and the thymus des­cends caudally pulling PIII with it. The thymus descends to the thorax where it joins with the contra lateral thymus to form the bilobed thy­mus gland. The tail portions become thin and remain in the neck near the inferior pole of the thyroid or may break up into fragments. PIII is classically located at or posterior to the inferior pole of the thyroid but is commonly found within the thymic capsule in the neck or upper mediastinum. PIII can be ectopically located at any point on its path of descent (Fig. 15.2). Rarely PIII is found cranial to the superior pole of the thyroid, in the carotid sheath, or very rarely around the heart or the aortopul­monary window.
The Superior Parathyroid
The superior parathyroid (PIV) derives from the dorsal aspect of the fourth pouch and des­cends attached to the thyroid and is classically located on the dorsal aspect of the thyroid fre­quently beneath the capsule of the thyroid, within a 1 cm radius of the junction of the inferior thyroid artery and recurrent laryngeal

nerve (RLN) [2]. Due to the more limited path­way of descent of PIV glands, the ectopic loca­tions are less numerous than with PIII (Fig. 15.2). PIV can be located cranial to the superior pole of the thyroid, in the para or retro oesophageal space, or very rarely be totally intrathyroidal. The ultimobranchial body, derived from the fourth pouch, descends with PIV and gives rise to the parafollicular cells of the thyroid which have neural crest origin and produce calcitonin. These cells become embedded in the thyroid, often leaving a small nodule within the thyroid at its poster­ior medial aspect, the Tubercle of Zuckerkandl. This can be a guide to the RLN which passes beneath and medially to it, with PIV frequently situated in close proximity.
The upper and lower parathyroid glands take their blood supply from the inferior thyroid artery in most situations although when ectopi­cally placed the superior thyroid artery or thyr­oid ima artery may be the arterial supply.
216
ENDOCRINE SURGERY
A capsular plane of dissection when performing a thyroidectomy (Fig. 15.3) helps preserve the parathyroid glands with their blood supply, although some parathyroid glands take vessels direct from the thyroid capsule without an obviously identifiable main feeding vessel [16] and may require autotransplantion to the ster­nocleidomastoid muscle.
Surgical Aspects
In the adult, PIII is typically located on a plane anterior and medial to the RLN while PIV is located posterior to this plane. As an adenoma develops, the plane of descent of PIV is fre­quently posterior and caudally toward the med­iastinum and it may lie at the same level as PIII but in the posterior plane. Parathyroid localiza­tion techniques are therefore important in plan­ning focused (MIV) surgical techniques.
Cadaveric studies have shown that 13% of individuals may have either true supernumer­ary parathyroid glands (5%) or additional tiny rests of parathyroid tissue that do not amount to a full parathyroid gland (8%) [3]. This is impor­tant in planning surgery for patients with con­ditions where diffuse stimulation of the para­thyroid tissue occurs such as secondary HPT or primary HPT in MEN1. In these patients, resec­tion of the cervical thymus and fatty tissue in the central compartment of the neck is important to remove the rest of parathyroid tissue and reduce the risk of persistent or early recurrent HPT.
Calcium Physiology
The vast majorityof calcium in the bodyis stored in bone as hydroxylapatite, and only 1% of cal­cium is present in the extracellular fluid. Half of serum calcium is in the ionized form (Ca remaining 50% is metabolically inactive and bound to albumin (40%) or complexed with anions such as phosphate and citrate (10%). Therefore, total calcium levels in plasma are affected by changes in protein concentration, but Ca level is controlled by the hormones PTH and 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol (DHCC) and involves regulation of calcium exchange across the gut, the bone, and renal tubule mediated via the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR).

Parathyroid Hormone
The endocrine function of parathyroid glands has been recognized for many years. In 1925, parathyroid extract was shown to prevent hypo­calcemia in dogs that had undergone parathyr­oidectomy [4]. PTH is an 84 amino acid (aa) peptide synthesized by the chief cells of the parathyroid gland. Its gene is located on chro­mosome 11. It is secreted in a prepro-PTH form. The presequence (23aa) and prosequence (6aa) are removed by the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus before PTH is packaged into secretory granules for secretion [5].
Intact (1–84aa) PTH has a half life of 2–4 min and is broken down by the liver and kidney yield­ing amino and carboxy terminal fragments.
Carboxy terminal fragments are excreted via the kidney and accumulate in renal failure. Early radioimmunoassays to measure PTH were devel­oped in the 1960s [6] however interpretation of results was problematic as breakdown fragments of PTH were detected. Current PTH assays mea­sure intact PTH with either a two-site immunor­adiometric assay (IRMA) or immunochemilumi­nescent assay (ICMA). In the late 1980s, alteration of the incubation times and temperatures reduced assay times (15 min) and enabled the quick mea­surement of PTH, which is today frequently used to monitor adequacy of excision during focused techniques of parathyroidectomy.
The main function of PTH is to control Ca
2+
PTH acts via the receptors, PTH-1, and PTH-2. The first 34 amino acids are responsible for the biologic effects of PTH. Amino acids 18–34 bind the receptor with amino acids 1–6 required for its activation. PTH-related peptide (PTHrP) secreted by malignant tumurs produces hyper­calcemia by activating the PTH-1 receptor [5].
The kidneys filter large amounts of calcium
(10 g/day). The majority (60–70%) is reab­sorbed in the proximal tubule and thick ascend­ing limb of Henle by passive paracellular absorption. PTH stimulates reabsorption of cal­cium in the kidney and is particularly important for fine tuning calcium active uptake in the distal convoluted tubule. Active uptake of Ca

occurs via the epithelial Ca2+channel TRPV5 (transient receptor potential vanilloid-5) on the luminal side of the distal convoluted tubule (DCT) and is the rate-limiting step in transcellu­lar calcium reabsorption. New regulators cur­rently under investigation that are implicated in the regulation of renalcalcium uptake via TRPV5 expression include 1,25-DHCC, estrogen, tissue kallikrein, and klotho (an anti aging protein)[7].
PTH indirectly stimulates gut uptake of cal­cium by stimulating renal production of active vitamin D (1,25-DHCC). Absorption of calcium

effect by inhibiting the reabsorption of phosphate in the proximal convoluted tubule. In renal fail­ure, GFR is reduced and phosphate is retained, both factors are reported to induce fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) [7, 8, 9]. FGF23 is a bone-derived circulating factorthat has an impor­tant role in phosphate and vitamin D regulation. FGF23 inhibits phosphate reabsorption in the kidney and inhibits the production of vitamin D. PTH levels rise secondary to reduced vitamin D levels and possibly as a direct consequence of raised levels of FGF23. Retained phosphate com­plexes with calcium and contributes to the hypo­calcemia of renal failure, which further stimulates the production of PTH by the parathyroid glands.

Vitamin D
Vitamin D is obtained from the diet and is formed in the epidermis of the skin with expo­sure toadequate sunlight. It is metabolized in the liver to 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (HCC) and further in the kidney. The main active form is 1,25-DHCC, produced via the action of the 1–hydroxylase enzyme on 25-HCC in the kid­ney. The actions of vitamin D are mediated via the nuclear vitamin D receptor (VDR). Produc­tion of 1,25-DHCC is stimulated by PTH, IGF-1, and is inhibited by high levels of calcium, phos­phate, and FGF23. Vitamin D has an important role in regulating calcium homeostasis with PTH, particularly the gut absorption of calcium and in regulating bone formation particularly bone resorption mediated by osteoclasts.
The Calcium Sensing Receptor
The calcium sensing receptor (CaSR) was cloned in 1993[10]. The CaSR is a 1078aa cell surface protein and member of the G-protein-coupled
receptor family. The CaSR gene is located on chromosome 3 (3q13.3–21). The CaSR is widely found throughout the body including the para­thyroid glands, C cells of the thyroid, kidney, intestine, bone, and brain. The CaSR enables the parathyroid glands to sense Ca adjust the amount of parathyroid hormone secreted. There is negative feedback between

resulting in a suppression of PTH levels, while low levels of calcium inactivate the CaSR result­ing in high levels of PTH. The mechanism by which this occurs remains poorly understood and under investigation [12].

Calcitonin
The CaSRs in the C cells of the thyroid are set up in an opposite fashion to those in the parathyroid glands, such that activation with calcium results in secretion of calcitonin which lowers calcium and inactivation due to low levels of calcium suppresses calcitonin secretion. Calcitonin is a 32aa peptide coded by the CALC-1 gene. Calcitonin inhibits osteoclast activity in bone and inhibits reab­sorption of phosphate in the kidney and increases renal excretion of calcium. Although it has actions to lower serum cal­cium, calcitonin is relatively unimportant as an acute regulator of calcium homeostasis in humans as demonstrated by the lack of com­plications following total thyroidectomy. It is an important tumor marker in MTC.
GeneticmutationsoftheCaSRhavebeen linked with clinical disorders such as familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FHH) and neo­natal severe HPT. FHH is rare and caused by a heterozygous inactivating mutation of the CaSR. This autosomal dominant disorder is characterized by hypercalcemia with low urinary calcium excretion. The calcium clear­ance to creatinine clearance ratio (CCCR) is <0.01.Typically, individuals have a normal (inappropriate) PTH and mild hypermagne­semia. These patients do not benefit from
