Parathyroid hormone regulates the expression of the nuclear mitotic apparatus protein in the osteoblast-like cells, ROS 17/2.8.

The parathyroid hormone (PTH) signaling pathways that effect changes in osteoblast gene expression also alter the organization of the cytoskeletal proteins. PTH regulates the expression of nucleoskeletal proteins, such as nuclear mitotic apparatus protein (NuMA) and topoisomerase II-alpha. NuMA is a structural component of the interphase nucleus and organizes the microtubules of the mitotic spindle during mitogenesis.
