AimsThe students should
• appreciate the physiological role of extracellular Ca2+;• know the principles of storage of Ca2+ in different
compartments;• be able to explain the major factors determining
extracellular Ca2+;• recognize principles involved in Ca2+ and Pi
homeostasis via hormones;• understand how extracellular Ca2+ in sensed and
signalled; and• be able to distinguish differences between regulation
of Ca2+ and Pi.
CS 2014
Contents
• Calcium (Ca2+)– Notion of free and bound Ca2+
– Extracellular versus intracellular Ca2+
– Ca2+ exchanges (uptake → storage → excretion)– Regulation of Ca2+
• Short-term: pH and its consequences• Long-term
– Nature of the Ca2+-sensor– Hormonal control of Ca2+ homeostasis
• Phosphate (Pi)– Free and bound– Regulation of Pi
CS 2014
Total & “Free” Extracellular Ca2+
• Non-filterable = protein bound (“albumin”) = cannot permeate through filter pores = non-diffusible = biologically not available (on normal time scale).
• Filterable = can permeate filter pores = diffusible; only some Ca2+ can be excreted.
• The absolute numbers might vary by a few percentages depending on source.
CS 2014
Extra- and Intracellular Ca2+
CS 2014
Ca2+ Balance• Homeostasis is result of
– uptake (absorption),– deposition and resorption
(bone),– secretion and excretion, and– exchange between ICF ↔ ISF.
• Ca2+ taken up in proximal part of small bowel (duodenum > jejunum).
• Excretion primarily via urine (kidney).
• Constant exchange between ICF and ISF as well as ISF and bone (no net change).
CS 2014
Exchange between ECF and ICF• Influx into cell via
– Ion channels• Voltage-dependent, non-selective
cation, store-operated and ligand-gated ion channels
– Transporters (reversed transport in pathology)
• Outflow via transporters– Ca-ATPase– Na/Ca-exchanger (3 Na+
against 1 Ca2+)
• Sequestration within cell– Smooth endoplasmic
reticulum– Mitochondria– Calcicosomes– Fixed and soluble buffers
(Ca2+-binding proteins)
CS 2014
Ca2+ Deposition and Resorption• Deposition/accretion via
osteoblasts into bone• Resorption via osteoclasts
from bone• Tightly controlled by
hormones• Guarantees a rapidly
exchangeable pool (4 g out of recently made-up bone)
• Bone– Inorganic minerals
70%• Hydroxyapatite
– Organic part (matrix)
30%• Collagen
CS 2014
Dietary Uptake• Demand:
1 g / d
25 mmol / d• Demand dependent on age and
gravidity– Children:
1.2 g / d
– Adolescent:
1.0 g / d
– Pregnancy:
1.5 - 2.5 g / d
– Lactation:
1.5 - 2.5 g / d
• Resorption:
25 - 40%**demand limited;
– also depends on Ca2+-complexes formed/presented in GI tract (oxalic acid, phytin)
– pH
• Source:– Predominantly dairy products (milk,
cheese, etc.)
CS 2014
Mechanism of Dietary Uptake
• Two pathways: Paracellular and transcellular.• Paracellular: Uptake from ISF into blood via diffusion through vessel fenestrations.• Transcellular:
– Requires a luminal Ca2+ channel and intracellular binding to a Ca2+-binding protein.– Rate limiting step is into ISF; Ca-ATPase and/or Na/Ca-exchanger.– Calcitriol (“vitamin D”) can speed up resorption rate (via protein expression).

Excretion of Ca2+
• Kidney is organ for Ca2+ net-excretion.
• Only 65% of Ca2+ can be filtered (“protein free” fraction).
• 98% of filtered Ca2+ resorbed.• 2% of Ca2+ excreted.• Mechanism of resorption is
– paracellular• TAL (driven by voltage).
– transcellular• Ca-ATPase• Na/Ca-exchanger
• Resorption is hormonally controlled (see later).
CS 2014
Calcium Regulation
• Short-term: pH (faster than regulatory hormonal changes can act…) and its consequences.
• Long-term– Ca2+ sensing on cell membrane. – hormonal feedback-loops for Ca2+ homeostasis.
CS 2014
Short-Term Regulation
pH and Its Consequences
CS 2014
pH and [Ca2+]: Competition
• Acidosis → total Ca2+↑: Ca2+ unbinds not only from plasma, but also from protein on endothelial membrane/sub-endothelial space (significant volume).
• pH also affects solubility products (Ca-phosphates, -carbonates, etc).
CS 2014
Effects of [Ca2+] Change• György’s formula for serum electrolytes:
• Describes qualitatively excitability of neuromuscular system; i.e. tendency for tetanic reactions (cramps).(tetanus = steady muscle contraction without distinct twitching)
• Examples:– [K+]↑ (hyperkalaemia): tendency for tetanus since excitability increases
(depolarisation of membrane potential).
– [Ca2+]↓ (hypocalcaemia): tendency for tetanus since excitability increases.
– [H+]↓ (alkalosis): tendency for tetanus since excitability increased (respiratory; i.e. during hyperventilation; double whammy since [Ca2+] also drops…).

Long-Term Regulation
Sensor of Extracellular [Ca2+]
Hormonal Ca2+ Homeostasis
CS 2014
http://www.liv.ac.uk/physiology/ncs/index.html
Ca2+- Sensor/Receptor (FREQ)• Gene on chromosome 9: Frequenin-like
protein (FREQ) or NCS-1; GPCR – dimer.• Binds to a host of adaptor proteins.• Transduction pathways (incomplete)
– Phospholipases (C, A2, D): DAG, IP3
– Adenylyl cyclase (inhibits)– MAPKinase
• Regulated processes– Secretion (hormones - relevant here…)– Synaptic plasticity, memory formation– Proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis– Gene expression
• Diseases– Rod and cone diseases (phosphorylation of
rhodopsin)– Up-regulated in bipolar disease and
schizophrenia/autism
CS 2014
Parathyroid Hormone: [Ca2+]↑• Peptide (84 AA) from parathyroid gland• Secretion “threshold”: < 1.5 mM
(i.e. normally, very little PTH is secreted).• Ca-sensor transduction: via phospholipase
C → IP3 production AND adenylyl cyclase
• Target organs:– Bone: osteoclasts (resorption)– Kidney: accelerates vitamin D synthesis– Indirectly: Gut, kidney (reabsorption, loss of
phosphate…)

• Lipophilic, steroid-like hormone• Synthesis involves 3 steps:
– Skin: Calciol– Liver: 25-OH-cholecalciferol– Kidney: Calcitriol
• Target organs:– Primary: gut (uptake)– Secondary: bone, kidney, placenta,
breasts, hair follicles, skin, etc.• Dosage: 5 µg/d adults; 10 µg/d children.• Deficiencies:
– Inadequate dietary intake.– Reduced absorption.– Insufficient sun light exposure (England 19th
century; kids/adults in front of computers, hospital beds, etc…).
– Reduced 1α-OH-ation (kidney disease).
Calcitriol: [Ca2+]↑
Despopoulos & Silbernagl 2003
CS 2014
Calcitonin: [Ca2+]↓• Peptide hormone (32 AA)• Secreted from C-cells in the thyroid gland.• Secretion directly proportional to [Ca2+]
(secreted when [Ca2+] normal).• Ca-sensor transduction: via AC → cAMP.• Target organs:
– Bone: inhibits osteoclast activity.– Kidney: converts vit. D precursor to 24,25-(OH)2-
cholecalciferol (inactive) → Ca2+ absorption↓.

Ca2+- Regulation Overview
CS 2014
Phosphate (HPO42-; Pi)
• Largest amount intracellularly: ~ 75 - 90 mM; ~ 200 g.• Extracellularly, mostly as HPO4
2-; H2PO4- (Pi; 25%; pH!)
– Largest buffer in urine (some Pi always excreted).
• Reference range (plasma): 0.8 – 1.5 mM– 85 – 90% filterable (Pi): 50% ionised; 50% complexed (Ca, Mg).
– 10 – 15% protein bound (as phosphorylation products).
• Less well regulated than Ca2+ (concentrations vary largely after food intake).
• Despite Ca/Pi supersaturation, no precipitation in tissue (pyrophosphate is one of many inhibitors of precipitation).
• Regulation tightly linked to Ca2+ because– of bone (large deposit): hydroxyapatite, and– Pi regulation is linked to PTH, calcitriol and calcitonin (little!).
CS 2014
Pi Balance• Pi homeostasis is result of
– amount of Pi in the body (bones); and
– distribution between ICF and ECF.
– Under normal conditions, Pi absorption = excretion (ss).
– Constant exchange between ICF and ECF as well as ECF and bone (no net change).
• Mostly from dairy products.– Absorbed in proximal small
bowel (duodenum > jejunum) by Na/Pi symporter.
• Excretion primarily via urine.
CS 2014
Targets of Pi Regulation• Regulation by maximal renal reabsorption capacity.
– Pi excess: rate of renal excretion↑; and
– Pi shortage: rate of renal excretion↓.
– Volume expansion response renal excretion↑ and vice versa.
• Primary targets (very similar to Ca2+)– Kidney (80% reabsorbed in PT)
• Under normal conditions, Pi transport is saturated and matched to absorption: if Pi↑, more is lost than absorbed; if Pi↓, more Pi is retained.
• Low levels of Pi, alkalosis and hypercalcaemia cause insertion of Na/P i symporter into apical membrane → reabsorption↑.
• High levels of Pi, acidosis and hypocalcaemia cause removal of Na/P i symporter from apical membrane → reabsorption↓.
– Bone• Resorption at the level of osteoclast (PTH, calcitriol)• Formation at the level of osteoblast (calcitonin)
– Gut• Enterocyte in duodenum/jejunum (calcitriol)
CS 2014
Pi Homeostasis• PTH (most important): [Pi]↓
– increases bone resorption– increases renal filtration
• Calcitriol: [Pi]↑
– increases gut absorption– increases bone resorption– increases renal reabsorption
• Calcitonin (transient; least important): [Pi]↓– increases bone formation– increases renal filtration
• Other hormones:– growth hormone: Pi↑ in children
– glucocorticoids: Pi excretion↑
• Not in line with Ca2+ homeostasis (more complex).
CS 2014
Take-Home Messages
• Ca2+ is central to extra- and intracellular signalling.
• [Ca2+]e determines excitability.
• [Ca2+] is sensed via FREQ (NCS-1), which requires adaptor protein(s) for transduction.
• Short-term, pH determines [Ca2+] and [Pi].
• Hormones regulate [Ca2+] and [Pi]:
– PTH: [Ca2+]↑ and [Pi]↓.
– Calcitriol (vit. D): [Ca2+]↑ and [Pi]↑ via uptake↑ and also [Pi]↑ via renal reabsorption↑.
– Calcitonin: [Ca2+]↓ and [Pi]↓.
