FGF23 (Fibroblast Growth Factor-23) and Incident Hypertension in Young and Middle-Aged Adults: The CARDIA Study.

ABSTRACT: Blacks have the highest prevalence of hypertension in the United States. Higher levels of FGF23 (fibroblast growth factor-23) have been associated with worse cardiovascular outcomes. Whether FGF23 is associated with rising blood pressure (BP) and racial differences in incident hypertension is unclear. We studied 1758 adults (45.0±3.7 years; 57.8% female; 36.9% black) without hypertension or cardiovascular disease who participated in the year 20 (2005-2006) follow-up examination of the CARDIA study (Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults). We investigated the associations of baseline (year 20) cFGF23 (C-terminal FGF23) levels with longitudinal BP patterns and incident hypertension (defined as being on antihypertensive medication, systolic BP ?130 or diastolic BP ?80 mm?Hg) during 2 follow-up visits (years 25 and 30). During follow-up, 35.2% of participants developed hypertension. In multivariable linear mixed models, there were greater increases in systolic BP from year 20 to 25 and year 25 to 30 in the highest FGF23 quartile relative to the lowest quartile (+2.1 mm?Hg, P=0.0057 and +2.2 mm?Hg, P=0.0108, respectively for each time period), whereas there were greater increases in diastolic BP from year 20 to 25 in the highest quartile relative to the lowest (+1.6 mm?Hg; P=0.0024). In multivariable modified Poisson regression analyses, the highest FGF23 quartile was associated with a 45% greater risk of developing hypertension during follow-up compared with the lowest quartile (relative risk, 1.45 [1.18-1.77]). Results did not vary by race (Pinteraction=0.1523). Higher FGF23 levels are independently associated with rising BP over time and an increased risk of incident hypertension but not racial differences in hypertension.

Project description:BackgroundElevated Fibroblast Growth Factor-23 (FGF23) levels have been associated with greater left ventricular mass (LVM) and heart failure. Whether higher FGF23 is associated with higher LVH prevalence and longitudinal changes in LVM and myocardial strain in middle-aged adults without cardiovascular disease (CVD) or chronic kidney disease (CKD) is unknown.MethodsWe studied 3,113 adults without CVD at baseline participating in the Year 25 (2010-2011) follow-up exam of the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study. We studied the association of Year 25 c-terminal FGF23 concentrations with indexed LVM (LVMI=LVM/height2.7), LVH and myocardial strain as assessed by speckle tracking strain echocardiography. Among the 2,758 (88.6%) participants who returned for the Year 30 examination, we also investigated the association of Year 25 FGF23 with 5 Year change in LVMI, strain parameters and incident LVH.ResultsThe mean age was 50.0 (±3.6) years, 56.8% were female, 45.7% were Black and 6.4% had CKD. There was 6.0% LVH prevalence at Year 25. Mean 5 Year change in LVMI was 5.3 (±7.7) grams/meter. In multivariable models, FGF23 in the highest quartile was associated with greater odds of LVH at Year 25 compared to lower quartiles. [Odds Ratio 95% CI: 1.81 (1.28, 2.58)] with similar findings after exclusion of participants with CKD. There was no interaction between FGF23 and race (P = .18) or sex (P = .80). There was no association between FGF23 and global longitudinal strain. There was no association between FGF23 and 5 Year change in LVMI. There was no association between higher FGF23 and 5 year incident LVH.ConclusionsIn a middle-aged adult population without known CVD or CKD, higher FGF23 was associated with greater odds of LVH, but not with greater increases in LVM over time. Further study is needed to elucidate whether FGF23 is a risk marker for underlying LVH or a mechanism for increased LVM over time in younger and middle-aged adult populations without CKD.

Project description:Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a hormone mainly secreted by bone cells. Its most prominent effects are the regulation of renal phosphate reabsorption and calcitriol (active vitamin D, 1,25(OH)2D3) formation, effects dependent on its co-receptor αKlotho. Besides these actions, further paracrine and endocrine effects exist. The production of FGF23 is regulated by 1,25(OH)2D3, parathyroid hormone, dietary phosphate intake, iron status, as well as inflammation. Glucocorticoids are hormones with anti-inflammatory properties and are, therefore, widely used for acute and chronic inflammatory diseases, autoimmune disorders, and malignancies. The present study explored whether glucocorticoids influence the production of FGF23 in vitro as well as in mice. Fgf23 transcription was analyzed by semi-quantitative real-time PCR. Serum concentrations of FGF23 and 1,25(OH)2D3 were measured by ELISA. Urinary phosphate and Ca2+ excretion were determined in metabolic cages. As a result, in UMR106 rat osteoblast-like cells and in MC3T3-E1 cells, both, dexamethasone and prednisolone, downregulated Fgf23 transcription and FGF23 protein synthesis. Dexamethasone increased Dmp1 and Phex (encoding FGF23-regulating genes) as well as Nfkbia (encoding NFκB inhibitor IκBα) transcription in UMR106 cells. In mice, a single injection of dexamethasone or prednisolone was followed by a significant decrease of serum C-terminal and intact FGF23 concentration and bone Fgf23 mRNA expression within 12 h. These effects were paralleled by increased renal phosphate excretion and enhanced 1,25(OH)2D3 formation. We conclude that a single glucocorticoid treatment strongly downregulates the FGF23 plasma concentration. KEY MESSAGES: Glucocorticoids dexamethasone and prednisolone suppress the formation of bone-derived hormone fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) in vitro. The effect is accompanied by an upregulation of Dmp1, Phex, and IκBα, negative regulators of FGF23, in UMR106 osteoblast-like cells. Glucocorticoid receptor antagonist RU-486 attenuates the effect of dexamethasone on FGF23, Dmp1, and Phex. In mice, a single glucocorticoid dose suppresses FGF23 and enhances 1,25(OH)2D3 (active vitamin D).

Project description:BackgroundLeft ventricular hypertrophy is common and is associated with cardiovascular events and death among patients with known chronic kidney disease. However, the link between reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) remains poorly explored among young and middle-aged adults with preserved kidney function. In this study, we examined the association of cystatin C-based estimated GFR (eGFRcys) and rapid decline in eGFR with subsequent LVMI.Study designObservational study.Setting & participantsWe included 2,410 participants from the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) cohort with eGFRcys > 60mL/min/1.73m(2) at year 15 and who had an echocardiogram obtained at year 25.PredictoreGFRcys at year 15 and rapid decline in eGFRcys (defined as >3% per year over 5 years from years 15 to 20).OutcomeLVMI measured at year 25.MeasurementsWe adjusted for age, sex, race, diabetes, body mass index, low- and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, cumulative systolic blood pressure, and albuminuria.ResultsMean age was 40±4 (SD) years, 58% were women, and 43% were black. After 10 years of follow-up, mean LVMI was 39.6±13.4g/m(2.7). Compared with eGFRcys > 90mL/min/1.73m(2) (n = 2,228), eGFRcys of 60 to 75mL/min/1.73m(2) (n = 29) was associated with 5.63 (95% CI, 0.90-10.36) g/m(2.7) greater LVMI (P = 0.02), but there was no association of eGFRcys of 76 to 90mL/min/1.73m(2) (n = 153) with LVMI after adjustment for confounders. Rapid decline in eGFRcys was associated with higher LVMI compared with participants without a rapid eGFRcys decline (β coefficient, 1.48; 95% CI, 0.11-2.83; P = 0.03) after adjustment for confounders.LimitationsThere were a limited number of participants with eGFRcys of 60 to 90mL/min/1.73m(2).ConclusionsAmong young and middle-aged adults with preserved kidney function, eGFRcys of 60 to 75mL/min/1.73m(2) and rapid decline in eGFRcys were significantly associated with subsequently higher LVMI. Further studies are needed to understand the mechanisms that contribute to elevated LVMI in this range of eGFRcys.
