In mammalian kidney, epidermal growth factor (EGF) is produced as a small internal domain of an abundant high molecular weight peptide associated with the luminal membrane of the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop and distal convoluted tubule. At present, there is no evidence to indicate a mitogenic function for the EGF-containing molecule in kidney; consideration of its molecular structure suggests the possibility of a membrane-associated physiologic role. In this study, we examine regulation of renal EGF synthesis during induction of vitamin D deficiency in mice. Despite evidence of marked hyperparathyroidism, urinary excretion of EGF was equivalent in control (2.54 ± 0.72 μg/mg creatinine) and vitamin D deficient (2.13 ± 0.97 μg/mg creatinine) animals. Similarly, EGF mRNA levels in kidney were comparable in the two groups. These data indicate that parathyroid hormone has no effect on renal EGF regulation, although it is known to stimulate calcium reabsorption in distal nephron segments.Key words: epidermal growth factor, vitamin D, calcium, kidney, parathyroid hormone.
