Hypoparathyroidism (HypoPT) is a rare disease involving the parathyroid glands that is characterized by a reduced secretion or potency of the parathyroid hormone (PTH), which leads to high serum phosphorus levels and low serum calcium levels. HypoPT most commonly results from accidental damage to the glands or their removal during thyroid or other anterior neck surgery. Parathyroid/thyroid surgery has become more common in recent years, with a corresponding rise in the occurrence of HypoPT as a postoperative complication. There is a critical need for a HypoPT animal model to better understand the mechanisms underlying the effects of HypoPT on mineral ion homeostasis and to verify the therapeutic effectiveness of novel treatments. Here, a technique is reported to create acquired HypoPT in male rats by performing parathyroidectomy (PTX) using carbon nanoparticles. The rat model shows great promise over the mouse models of hypoparathyroidism. Importantly, the human PTH receptor binding region has an 84.2% sequence similarity with that of the rat, which is higher than the 73.7% similarity shared with mice. Moreover, the effects of estrogen, which can affect the PTH/PTHrP receptor signaling pathway, have not been fully investigated in male rats. Carbon nanoparticles are lymphatic tracers that stain the thyroid lymph nodes black without affecting their function, but they do not stain the parathyroid glands, which makes them easy to identify and remove. In this study, serum PTH levels were undetectable after PTX, and this resulted in significant hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia. Thus, the clinical state of postoperative HypoPT can be remarkably represented in the rat model. Carbon-nanoparticle-assisted PTX can, therefore, serve as an extraordinarily effective and readily implementable model for studying the pathogenesis, treatment, and prognosis of HypoPT.
