Project description:The discovery of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) has expanded our understanding of phosphate and vitamin D homeostasis and provided new insights into the pathogenesis of hereditary hypophosphatemic and hyperphosphatemic disorders, as well as acquired disorders of phosphate metabolism, such as chronic kidney disease. FGF-23 is secreted by osteoblasts and osteocytes in bone and principally targets the kidney to regulate the reabsorption of phosphate, the production and catabolism of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D and the expression of ?-Klotho, an anti-ageing hormone. Secreted FGF-23 plays a central role in complex endocrine networks involving local bone-derived factors that regulate mineralization of extracellular matrix and systemic hormones involved in mineral metabolism. Inactivating mutations of PHEX, DMP1 and ENPP1, which cause hereditary hypophosphatemic disorders and primary defects in bone mineralization, stimulate FGF23 gene transcription in osteoblasts and osteocytes, at least in part, through canonical and intracrine FGF receptor pathways. These FGF-23 regulatory pathways may enable systemic phosphate and vitamin D homeostasis to be coordinated with bone mineralization. FGF-23 also functions as a counter-regulatory hormone for 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D in a bone-kidney endocrine loop. FGF-23, through regulation of additional genes in the kidney and extrarenal tissues, probably has broader physiological functions beyond regulation of mineral metabolism that account for the association between FGF-23 and increased mortality and morbidity in chronic kidney disease.

Project description:Maintenance of physiologic phosphate balance is of crucial biological importance, as it is fundamental to cellular function, energy metabolism, and skeletal mineralization. Fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) is a master regulator of phosphate homeostasis, but the molecular mechanism of such regulation is not yet completely understood. Targeted disruption of the Fgf-23 gene in mice (Fgf-23-/-) elicits hyperphosphatemia, and an increase in renal sodium/phosphate co-transporter 2a (NaPi2a) protein abundance. To elucidate the pathophysiological role of augmented renal proximal tubular expression of NaPi2a in Fgf-23-/- mice and to examine serum phosphate-independent functions of Fgf23 in bone, we generated a new mouse line deficient in both Fgf-23 and NaPi2a genes, and determined the effect of genomic ablation of NaPi2a from Fgf-23-/- mice on phosphate homeostasis and skeletal mineralization. Fgf-23-/-/NaPi2a-/- double mutant mice are viable and exhibit normal physical activities when compared to Fgf-23-/- animals. Biochemical analyses show that ablation of NaPi2a from Fgf-23-/- mice reversed hyperphosphatemia to hypophosphatemia by 6 weeks of age. Surprisingly, despite the complete reversal of serum phosphate levels in Fgf-23-/-/NaPi2a-/-, their skeletal phenotype still resembles the one of Fgf23-/- animals. The results of this study provide the first genetic evidence of an in vivo pathologic role of NaPi2a in regulating abnormal phosphate homeostasis in Fgf-23-/- mice by deletion of both NaPi2a and Fgf-23 genes in the same animal. The persistence of the skeletal anomalies in double mutants suggests that Fgf-23 affects bone mineralization independently of systemic phosphate homeostasis. Finally, our data support (1) that regulation of phosphate homeostasis is a systemic effect of Fgf-23, while (2) skeletal mineralization and chondrocyte differentiation appear to be effects of Fgf-23 that are independent of phosphate homeostasis.

Project description:Background and objectivesPlasma phosphate levels display considerable intraindividual variability. The phosphatonin fibroblast growth factor 23 is a central regulator of plasma phosphate levels, and it has been postulated to be a more stable marker than conventional CKD-mineral and bone disorder parameters. Thus, fibroblast growth factor 23 has been hypothesized to reflect time-averaged plasma phosphate levels in CKD patients.Design, setting, participants, & measurementsAmong 40 patients from the outpatient dialysis center, serial measurements of plasma calcium and phosphate (before every dialysis session) as well as C-terminal fibroblast growth factor 23, parathyroid hormone, and alkaline phosphatase (one time weekly) were performed over a study period of 4 weeks in November and December of 2011. Intraindividual variability of repeated plasma fibroblast growth factor 23 measurements compared with other CKD-mineral and bone disorder markers was tested, and the association of a single plasma fibroblast growth factor 23 measurement with time-averaged plasma phosphate levels was analyzed.ResultsAgainst expectations, intraindividual variability of fibroblast growth factor 23 (median coefficient of variation=27%; interquartile range=20-35) was not lower than variability of plasma phosphate (median coefficient of variation=15%; interquartile range=10-20), parathyroid hormone (median coefficient of variation=24%; interquartile range=15-39), plasma calcium (median coefficient of variation=3%; interquartile range=2-4), or alkaline phosphatase (median coefficient of variation=5%; interquartile range=3-10). Moreover, the correlation between the last fibroblast growth factor 23 measurement after 4 weeks and time-averaged plasma phosphate did not surpass the correlation between the last fibroblast growth factor 23 measurement and a single plasma phosphate value (r=0.67, P<0.001; r=0.76, P<0.001, respectively).ConclusionsSurprisingly, fibroblast growth factor 23 was not more closely associated to time-averaged plasma phosphate levels than a single plasma phosphate value, and it did not show a lower intraindividual variability than other tested markers of CKD-mineral and bone disorder. Thus, fibroblast growth factor 23 should not be used in clinical practice as a reflector of time-averaged plasma phosphate levels.

Project description:FGF-23, a novel member of the FGF family, is the product of the gene mutated in autosomal dominant hypophosphatemic rickets (ADHR). FGF-23 has been proposed as a circulating factor causing renal phosphate wasting not only in ADHR (as a result of inadequate degradation), but also in tumor-induced osteomalacia (as a result of excess synthesis by tumor cells). Renal phosphate wasting occurs in approximately 50% of patients with McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) and fibrous dysplasia of bone (FD), which result from postzygotic mutations of the GNAS1 gene. We found that FGF-23 is produced by normal and FD osteoprogenitors and bone-forming cells in vivo and in vitro. In situ hybridization analysis of FGF-23 mRNA expression identified "fibrous" cells, osteogenic cells, and cells associated with microvascular walls as specific cellular sources of FGF-23 in FD. Serum levels of FGF-23 were increased in FD/MAS patients compared with normal age-matched controls and significantly higher in FD/MAS patients with renal phosphate wasting compared with those without, and correlated with disease burden bone turnover markers commonly used to assess disease activity. Production of FGF-23 by FD tissue may play an important role in the renal phosphate-wasting syndrome associated with FD/MAS.

Project description:Fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) and ?-Klotho transduce FGF-23 signaling in renal tubules to maintain systemic phosphate/vitamin D homeostasis. Mice deficient for either the ligand, FGF-23, or the co-receptor, Klotho, are phenocopies with both showing rapid and premature development of multiple aging-like abnormalities. Such similarity in phenotype, suggests that FGF-23 and Klotho have co-dependent systemic functions. Recent reports revealed inverse central nervous system (CNS) effects of Klotho deficiency or Klotho overexpression on hippocampal synaptic, neurogenic, and cognitive functions. However, it is unknown whether FGF-23 deficiency effects function of the hippocampus. We report that, similar to Klotho-deficient mice, FGF-23-deficient mice develop dose-dependent, hippocampal-dependent cognitive impairment. However, FGF-23-deficient brains had no gross structural or developmental defects, no change in hippocampal synaptic plasticity, and only minor impairment to postnatal hippocampal neurogenesis. Together, these data provide evidence that FGF-23 deficiency impairs hippocampal-dependent cognition but otherwise results in a brain phenotype that is distinct from the KL-deficient mouse.

Project description:Although cognitive impairment is common in hemodialysis patients, the etiology of and risk factors for its development remain unclear. Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) levels are elevated in hemodialysis patients and are associated with increased mortality and left ventricular hypertrophy. Despite FGF-23 being found within the brain, there are no prior studies assessing whether FGF-23 levels are associated with cognitive performance. We measured FGF-23 in 263 prevalent hemodialysis patients in whom comprehensive neurocognitive testing was also performed. The cross-sectional association between patient characteristics and FGF-23 levels was assessed. Principal factor analysis was used to derive two factors from cognitive test scores, representing memory and executive function, which carried a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. Multivariable linear regression adjusting for age, sex, education status, and other relevant covariates was used to explore the relationship between FGF-23 and each factor. Mean age was 63 years, 46% were women and 22% were African American. The median FGF-23 level was 3098 RU/mL. Younger age, lower prevalence of diabetes, longer dialysis vintage, and higher calcium and phosphorus were independently associated with higher FGF-23 levels. Higher FGF-23 was independently associated with a lower memory score (per doubling of FGF-23, β = -0.08 SD [95% confidence interval, CI: -0.16, -0.01]) and highest quartile vs. lowest quartile (β = -0.42 SD [-0.82, -0.02]). There was no definite association of FGF 23 with executive function when examined as a continuous variable (β = -0.03 SD [-0.10, 0.04]); however, there was a trend in the quartile analysis (β = -0.28 SD [-0.63, 0.07], P = 0.13, for 4th quartile vs. 1st quartile). FGF-23 was associated with worse performance on a composite memory score, including after adjustment for measures of mineral metabolism. High FGF-23 levels in hemodialysis patients may contribute to cognitive impairment.

Project description:Fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) is a phosphaturic hormone used to monitor chronic kidney disease (CKD) in humans. The aims of this study were (1) to determine the intra- and interassay precision of the FGF-23 concentrations in dogs as measured via the Kainos ELISA FGF-23 kit, (2) to calculate a reference interval, and (3) to assess the correlation of the FGF-23 concentration with the hematological and biochemical parameters. The coefficient of variation was below 15% for both the intra- and interassay precision, indicating good reproducibility. The reference interval ranged between 95.8 (90% confidence interval: 44.6; 139.2) and 695.1 pg/mL (598.7; 799.1) based on 136 clinically healthy dogs, classified as such according to the information of treating veterinarians as well as the unremarkable results of hematology and biochemistry. The FGF-23 concentration differed significantly between dogs aged <9 and ≥9 years (p = 0.045). Four groups of 10 dogs each were retrospectively formed based on the creatinine concentration classification according to the IRIS staging. Correlation was the strongest for the renal parameters. Statistically significant differences in the FGF-23 concentration were demonstrated between the study groups I and III (p < 0.001), I and IV (p < 0.001), and II and IV (p = 0.005). There was a trend for a rising FGF-23 concentration in older dogs. Due to the wide reference interval, diagnostic cut-offs and/or subject-based FGF-23 reference values in each dog are needed for monitoring and clinical interpretation.

Project description:The optimal circulating concentration of 25(OH) vitamin D is controversial.The aim was to investigate if FGF-23 and 24,25(OH)2D can guide cholecalciferol replacement.Oral cholecalciferol (10,000 IU weekly) administered to subjects with 25(OH)D levels < 20 ?g/mL and eGFR > 60 mL/min/1.73 m(2) (n = 25), chronic kidney disease (CKD) (n = 27), or end stage renal disease (ESRD) (n = 14).The study was conducted at the Veterans Affairs clinics.Serum FGF-23, PTH, 25(OH)D, 1,25(OH)2D, 24,25(OH)2D, calcium, and phosphorous concentrations, and urinary excretion of calcium and phosphorus at baseline and after 8 weeks of treatment.Cholecalciferol treatment increased concentrations of serum 25(OH)D by (19.3 ± 8 ?g/mL, P = .001; 12.2 ± 9 ?g/mL, P = .0001) and 24,25(OH)2D (1.14 ± 0.89 ?g/mL, P = .0024; 1.0 ± 0.72 ?g/mL P = .0002), and reduced serum PTH (-11 ± 21 pg/mL, P = .0292; -42 ± 68 pg/mL, P = .0494) in normal and CKD subjects, respectively. Cholecalciferol increased serum FGF-23 levels only in normal subjects (44 ± 57 ?g/mL, P = .01). Increments in serum 25(OH)D positively correlated with serum FGF-23 and 24,25(OH)2D and negatively correlated with PTH. In ESRD, cholecalciferol administration increased 25(OH)D by (16.6 ± 6.6 ?g/mL P ? .05) without changing 24,25(OH)2D, FGF-23 or PTH levels.Modest elevations of serum 25(OH)D levels after cholecalciferol treatment are sufficient to induce compensatory degradative pathways in patients with sufficient renal reserves, suggesting that optimal circulating 25(OH)D levels are approximately 20 ?g/mL. In addition, catabolism of 25(OH)D may also contribute to the low circulating vitamin D levels in CKD, since elevations of FGF-23 in CKD are associated with increased 24,25(OH)2D after cholecalciferol administration.

Project description:In the past decade, research in genetic disorders of hypophosphatemia has significantly expanded our understanding of phosphate metabolism. X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is the most common inherited form of rickets due to renal phosphate wasting. Recent understanding of the mechanisms of disease and role of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) in XLH and other hypophosphatemic disorders have opened new potential therapeutic avenues. We will discuss the current standard of treatment for XLH as well as promising future directions under study.

Project description:BackgroundIn the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study, we examined whether fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23), a bone-derived phosphaturic hormone involved in bone metabolism, is associated with incident frailty. Furthermore, we examined whether this association differs by HIV serostatus and race.MethodsOf 715 men assessed for frailty and selected for FGF-23 measurements using stored blood samples (2007-2011), 512 men were nonfrail at/before the baseline visit. Frailty was defined by the presence of ≥3 of the following on 2 consecutive 6-month visits within 1 year: unintentional weight loss ≥10 pounds, weakness, slowness, low energy, and low physical activity. We determined the association of FGF-23 levels with incident frailty using proportional hazards models adjusting for sociodemographics, comorbidities, and kidney function.ResultsSixty-five percent were HIV-infected; 29% were black. Median baseline FGF-23 levels were lower in HIV-infected vs. HIV-uninfected men (33.7 vs. 39.9 rU/mL, P = 0.006) but similar by race. During a median follow-up of 6.6 years, 32 men developed frailty; they had higher baseline FGF-23 levels vs. men who remained nonfrail (45 vs. 36 rU/mL, P = 0.02). FGF-23 (per doubling) was associated with a 1.63-fold risk of frailty [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.19 to 2.23]; results did not differ by HIV serostatus. Conversely, FGF-23 was associated with a 2.72-fold risk of frailty among blacks (95% CI: 1.51 to 4.91) but had minimal association among nonblacks (hazard ratio = 1.26, 95% CI: 0.77 to 2.05; p-interaction = 0.024).ConclusionsAmong men with or at-risk of HIV infection, higher FGF-23 was associated with greater risk of frailty, particularly in blacks. The mechanisms by which FGF-23 may contribute to frailty warrant further study.
