Cloning and characterization of FGF23 as a causative factor of tumor-induced osteomalacia.

ABSTRACT: Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is one of the paraneoplastic diseases characterized by hypophosphatemia caused by renal phosphate wasting. Because removal of responsible tumors normalizes phosphate metabolism, an unidentified humoral phosphaturic factor is believed to be responsible for this syndrome. To identify the causative factor of TIO, we obtained cDNA clones that were abundantly expressed only in a tumor causing TIO and constructed tumor-specific cDNA contigs. Based on the sequence of one major contig, we cloned 2,270-bp cDNA, which turned out to encode fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23). Administration of recombinant FGF23 decreased serum phosphate in mice within 12 h. When Chinese hamster ovary cells stably expressing FGF23 were s.c. implanted into nude mice, hypophosphatemia with increased renal phosphate clearance was observed. In addition, a high level of serum alkaline phosphatase, low 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, deformity of bone, and impairment of body weight gain became evident. Histological examination showed marked increase of osteoid and widening of growth plate. Thus, continuous production of FGF23 reproduced clinical, biochemical, and histological features of TIO in vivo. Analyses for recombinant FGF23 products produced by Chinese hamster ovary cells indicated proteolytic cleavage of FGF23 at the RXXR motif. Recent genetic study indicates that missense mutations in this RXXR motif of FGF23 are responsible for autosomal dominant hypophosphatemic rickets, another hypophosphatemic disease with similar features to TIO. We conclude that overproduction of FGF23 causes TIO, whereas mutations in the FGF23 gene result in autosomal dominant hypophosphatemic rickets possibly by preventing proteolytic cleavage and enhancing biological activity of FGF23.

Project description:Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome caused by ectopic production of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) by phosphaturic mesenchymal tumors (PMTs). Acting on renal tubule cells, excess FGF23 decreases phosphate reabsorption and 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D (1,25D) production, leading to hypophosphatemia, impaired bone mineralization, pain, and fractures. Fibronectin 1-fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FN1-FGFR1) gene fusions have been identified as possible drivers in up to 40% of resected PMTs. Based on the presumptive role of FGFR1 signaling by chimeric FN1-FGFR1 proteins, the effectiveness of infigratinib, a FGFR1-3 tyrosine kinase inhibitor, was studied in an open-label, single-center, phase 2 trial. The primary endpoint was persistent normalization of blood phosphate and FGF23 after discontinuation. Four adults with TIO (two nonlocalized, two nonresectable PMTs) were treated with daily infigratinib for up to 24 weeks. All patients had a favorable biochemical response that included reduction in intact FGF23, and normalization of blood phosphate and 1,25D. However, these effects disappeared after drug discontinuation with biochemistries returning to baseline; no patients entered biochemical remission. In the two patients with identifiable tumors, 68Gallium (68Ga)-DOTATATE and 18Fluoride (18F)-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT scans showed a decrease in PMT activity without change in tumor size. Patients experienced mild to moderate, treatment-related, dose-limiting adverse events (AEs), but no serious AEs. Three patients had dose interruptions due to AEs; one patient continued on a low dose for the entire 24 weeks and one patient stopped therapy at 17 weeks due to an AE. The study closed early due to a failure to meet the primary endpoint and a higher-than-expected incidence of ocular AEs. Infigratinib treatment lowered FGF23, increased blood phosphate, and suppressed PMT activity, confirming the role of FGFR signaling in PMT pathogenesis. However, treatment-related AEs at efficacy doses and disease persistence on discontinuation support restricting the use of infigratinib to patients with life-limiting metastatic PMTs. © 2022 The Authors.

Project description:Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome. It is curable by excision of the causative tumor. However, a few cases may persist or relapse after tumor resection. We aimed to investigate the rate of these events and related factors. We retrospectively studied TIO patients treated with surgery in a tertiary hospital. TIO was established based on a pathologic examination or the reversion of hypophosphatemia. Refractory TIO patients consisted of those with nonremission or recurrent hypophosphatemia after surgery. A total of 230 patients were confirmed as having TIO. After primary surgery, 26 (11.3%) cases persisted, and 16 (7.0%) cases recurred. The overall refractory rate was 18.3%. The median time of recurrence was 33 months. Compared with patients in the recovery group, patients in the refractory group were more likely to be female (59.5% versus 41.0%, p = .029) and have a lower serum phosphate level (0.44 ± 0.13 versus 0.50 ± 0.11 mmol/L, p = .002). The refractory rate was lowest in head/neck tumors (7.5%) and highest in spine tumors (77.8%). Regarding the tissue involved of tumor location, the refractory rate was higher in tumors involving bone than tumors involving soft tissue (32.7% versus 7.0%, p < .001). The outcomes of malignant tumors were worse than those of benign tumors (p < .001): nonremission rate, 21.4% versus 9.7%; recurrence rate, 28.6% versus 6.5%. In the multivariate regression analysis, female sex, spine tumors, bone tissue-involved tumors, malignancy, and low preoperation serum phosphorus levels were identified as risk factors for refractory outcomes. High preoperative fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) levels were also associated with refractory after adjusting for involving tissue and tumor malignancy. In summary, we are the first to report the rate and clinical characteristics of refractory TIO in a large cohort. For patients with multiple risk factors, especially spine tumors, clinical practitioners should be aware of a poor surgical prognosis. © 2019 The Authors.
