Abstract
Phosphorus, often in the form of inorganic phosphate (Pi), is critical to cellular function on many levels; it is required as an integral component of kinase signaling, in the formation and function of DNA and lipids, and energy metabolism in the form of ATP. Accordingly, crucial aspects of cell mitosis - such as DNA synthesis and ATP energy generation - elevate the cellular requirement for Pi, with rapidly dividing cells consuming increased levels. Mechanisms to sense, respond, acquire, accumulate, and potentially seek Pi have evolved to support highly proliferative cellular states such as injury and malignant transformation. As such, manipulating Pi availability to target rapidly dividing cells presents a novel strategy to reduce or prevent unrestrained cell growth. Currently, limited knowledge exists regarding how modulating Pi consumption by pre-cancerous cells might influence the initiation of aberrant growth during malignant transformation, and if reducing the bioavailability or suppressing Pi consumption by malignant cells could alter tumorigenesis. The concept of targeting Pi-regulated pathways and/or consumption by pre-cancerous or tumor cells represents a novel approach to cancer prevention and control, although current data remains insufficient as to rigorously assess the therapeutic value and physiological relevance of this strategy. With this review, we present a critical evaluation of the paradox of how an element critical to essential cellular functions can, when available in excess, influence and promote a cancer phenotype. Further, we conjecture how Pi manipulation could be utilized as a therapeutic intervention, either systemically or at the cell level, to ultimately suppress or treat cancer initiation and/or progression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES IGF-1 deficiency links to malnutrition in CKD patients; however, it is not clear to what extent it associates with survival among these patients. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS Serum IGF-1 and other biochemical, clinical (subjective global assessment), and densitometric (dual energy x-ray absorptiometry) markers of nutritional status and mineral and bone metabolism were measured in a cohort of 365 Swedish clinically stable CKD stage 5 patients (median age of 53 years) initiating dialysis between 1994 and 2009; in 207 patients, measurements were also taken after 1 year of dialysis. Deaths were registered during a median follow-up of 5 years. Associations of mortality with baseline IGF-1 and changes of IGF-1 after 1 year of dialysis were evaluated by Cox models. RESULTS At baseline, IGF-1 concentrations associated negatively with age, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, poor nutritional status, IL-6, and osteoprotegerin and positively with body fat mass, bone mineral density, serum phosphate, calcium, and fibroblast growth factor-23. At 1 year, IGF-1 had increased by 33%. In multivariate regression, low age, diabetes mellitus, and high serum phosphate and calcium associated with IGF-1 at baseline, and in a mixed model, these factors, together with high fat body mass, associated with changes of IGF-1 during the first 1 year of dialysis. Adjusting for calendar year of inclusion, age, sex, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, IL-6, and poor nutritional status, a 1 SD higher level of IGF-1 at baseline associated with lower mortality risk (hazard ratio, 0.57; 95% confidence interval, 0.32 to 0.98). Persistently low or decreasing IGF-1 levels during the first 1 year on dialysis predicted worse survival (adjusted hazard ratio, 2.19; 95% confidence interval, 1.06 to 4.50). CONCLUSION In incident dialysis patients, low serum IGF-1 associates with body composition and markers of mineral and bone metabolism, and it predicts increased mortality risk.

Abstract
Thyroid hormones increase energy expenditure and bone turnover in vivo. To study whether 3,3',5-triiodo-l-thyronine (T₃) stimulates the uptake of glucose in osteoblastic cells, PyMS (a cell line derived from rat bone) cells were kept in serum-free culture medium and treated with T₃. We measured [1-¹⁴C]-2-deoxy-D: -glucose (2DG) uptake and looked for expression of the high-affinity glucose transporters GLUT1 and GLUT3 by northern and western analysis. T₃ did not influence the cell number but slightly (1.3-fold) increased the protein content of the cell cultures. 2DG uptake was low in serum-deprived cell cultures and was increased by T₃ (up to 2.5-fold at 1 nmol l⁻¹ after 4 days) in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Triiodothyronine at 1 nmol l⁻¹ increased GLUT1 and GLUT3 abundance in membranes. Therefore, increased glucose uptake induced by T₃ in osteoblasts may be mediated by the known high-affinity glucose transporters GLUT1 and GLUT3.

Abstract
The effects of Korean Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L) seed oil (SSO) on osteoporosis induced-ovariectomized rats were investigated. A total of 90 female Sprague-Dawley rats, 4-month-old, weighing 200–230 g were randomly assigned into 3 groups (30 animals/group). The animals in group I were sham operated and those of group II and III were ovariectomized (Ovx). After eight weeks, the animals of group I and II received solvent vehicle daily, whereas those of group III were administered SSO orally (1 ml/kg) daily for 30 days. The changes in the serum levels of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), IGF-II, insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGBP-3), estrogen, total alkaline phosphatase (TALP), bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP), calcium and phosphorous in serum, and also the histomorphology of the proximal tibia metaphysis and femur/body weight (F/B) ratio were examined in all the groups at every 10 days interval. Thirty days later, IGF-I, IGF-II, IGBP-3 and BALP levels were significantly increased ( p < 0.05) in group III as compared to groups I and II. There were no significant differences in serum levels of estrogen, TALP and F/B ratio between groups II and III, but estrogen levels were higher in group I. These results suggest that the safflower seeds have possible roles in the improvement of osteoporosis induced-ovariectomized rats.

Abstract
Although considerable advances in our understanding of the mechanisms of phosphate homeostasis and skeleton mineralization have recently been made, little is known about the initial events involving the detection of changes in the phosphate serum concentrations and the subsequent downstream regulation cascade. Recent data has strengthened a long-established hypothesis that a phosphate-sensing mechanism may be present in various organs. Such a phosphate sensor would detect changes in serum or local phosphate concentration and would inform the body, the local environment, or the individual cell. This suggests that phosphate in itself could represent a signal regulating multiple factors necessary for diverse biological processes such as bone or vascular calcification. This review summarizes findings supporting the possibility that phosphate represents a signaling molecule, particularly in bone and cartilage, but also in other tissues. The involvement of various signaling pathways (ERK1/2), transcription factors (Fra-1, Runx2) and phosphate transporters (PiT1, PiT2) is discussed.

Abstract
Insulin and parathyroid hormone (PTH) regulate glucose metabolism in bone cells. In order to differentiate between the effects of these hormones and to compare the potency of insulin with that of insulin-like growth factor (IGF) I, we treated rat bone-derived osteoblastic (PyMS) cells for different time periods and at different concentrations with insulin, IGF I, or PTH, and measured [1-(14)C]-2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG) uptake and incorporation of D-[U-(14)C] glucose into glycogen. 2DG uptake was Na-independent with an apparent affinity constant (K (M)) of ~2 mmol/l. Expression of the high affinity glucose transporters (GLUT), GLUT1 and GLUT3 but not of GLUT4, was found by Northern and Western analysis. Similar to the findings with primary rat osteoblasts, but distinct from those in rat fibroblasts, 2DG uptake and glycogen synthesis were increased in this cell line after exposure to low concentrations (0.1 nmol/l and above) of PTH. IGF I at low doses (0.3 nmol/l and above) or insulin at higher doses (1 nmol/l and above) stimulated 2DG uptake and [(3)H] thymidine incorporation into DNA. 2DG transport was enhanced already after 30 min of IGF I treatment whereas the effect of PTH became significant after 6 h. It is concluded that IGF I rather than insulin may be a physiological regulator of 2DG transport and glycogen synthesis in osteoblasts.

Abstract
Bioactive glasses dissolve upon immersion in culture medium, releasing their constitutive ions in solution. There is evidence suggesting that these ionic dissolution products influence osteoblast-specific processes. Here, we investigated the effect of 58S sol-gel-derived bioactive glass (60 mol % SiO2, 36 mol % CaO, 4 mol % P2O5) dissolution products on primary osteoblasts derived from human fetal long bone explant cultures (hFOBs). We used U133A human genome GeneChip oligonucleotide arrays to examine 22,283 transcripts and variants, which represent over 18,000 well-substantiated human genes. Hybridization of samples (biotinylated cRNA) derived from monolayer cultures of hFOBs on the arrays revealed that 10,571 transcripts were expressed by these cells, with high confidence. These included transcripts representing osteoblast-related genes coding for growth factors and their associated molecules or receptors, protein components of the extracellular matrix (ECM), enzymes involved in degradation of the ECM, transcription factors, and other important osteoblast-associated markers. A 24-h treatment with a single dosage of ionic products of sol-gel 58S dissolution induced the differential expression of a number of genes, including IL-6 signal transducer/gp130, ISGF-3/STAT1, HIF-1 responsive RTP801, ERK1 p44 MAPK (MAPK3), MAPKAPK2, IGF-I and IGFBP-5. The over 2-fold up-regulation of gp130 and MAPK3 and down-regulation of IGF-I were confirmed by real-time RT-PCR analysis. These data suggest that 58S ionic dissolution products possibly mediate the bioactive effect of 58S through components of the IGF system and MAPK signaling pathways.

Abstract
Neprilysin (NEP) is a plasma membrane-bound peptidase with wide expression in kidney, lung, brain and bone. Decreased NEP activity has been linked to increased growth of some cancer cells, but it is unknown whether its activity is related to growth of cells belonging to the osteoblast lineage. We assessed NEP activity in an osteoblastic cell line, PyMS, by cleavage of N-Dansyl-d-Ala-Gly-p-nitro-Phe-Gly to Dansyl-d-Ala-Gly. NEP activity was completely blocked by 1 muM thiorphan. Most agents affecting growth of these cells (e.g. calcium, insulin-like growth factor I and dexamethasone) did not regulate NEP activity. Ascorbic acid (ASA) increased thymidine incorporation into DNA and potentiated the stimulatory effect of IGF I on DNA synthesis, an effect which was attenuated by echistatin. ASA decreased NEP activity in a dose-dependent manner, and decreased Western-detectable NEP protein in plasma membranes. ASA affects both integrin receptor-mediated signalling and the processing of regulatory peptides.

Abstract
The parathyroid calcium-sensing receptor (CaR) plays a nonredundant role in systemic calcium homeostasis. In bone, Ca(2+)(o), a major extracellular factor in the bone microenvironment during bone remodeling, could potentially serve as an extracellular first messenger, acting via the CaR, that stimulates the proliferation of preosteoblasts and their differentiation to osteoblasts (OBs). Primary digests of rat calvarial OBs express the CaR as assessed by RT-PCR, Northern, and Western blot analysis, and immunocolocalization of the CaR with the OB marker cbfa-1. Real-time PCR revealed a significant increase in CaR mRNA in 5- and 7-d cultures compared with 3-d cultures post harvesting. High Ca(2+)(o) did not affect the expression of CaR mRNA during this time but up-regulated cyclin D (D1, D2, and D3) genes, which are involved in transition from the G1 to the S phase of the cell cycle, as well as the early oncogenes, c-fos and early growth response-1; high Ca(2+)(o) did not, however, alter IGF-I expression, a mitogenic factor for OBs. The high Ca(2+)(o)-dependent increase in the proliferation of OBs was attenuated after transduction with a dominant-negative CaR (R185Q), confirming that the effect of high Ca(2+)(o) is CaR mediated. Stimulation of proliferation by the CaR involves the Jun-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway, as high Ca(2+)(o) stimulated the phosphorylation of JNK in a CaR-mediated manner, and the JNK inhibitor SP600125 abolished CaR-induced proliferation. Our data, therefore, show that the parathyroid/kidney CaR expressed in rat calvarial OBs exerts a mitogenic effect that involves activation of the JNK pathway and up-regulation of several mitogenic genes.

Abstract
The spatial and temporal coordination of the many events required for osteogenic cells to create a mineralized matrix are only partially understood. The complexity of this process, and the nature of the final product, demand that these cells have mechanisms to carefully monitor events in the extracellular environment and have the ability to respond through cellular and molecular changes. The generation of inorganic phosphate during the process of differentiation may be one such signal. In addition to the requirement of inorganic phosphate as a component of hydroxyapatite mineral, Ca(10)(PO(4))(6)(OH)(2), a number of studies have also suggested it is required in the events preceding mineralization. However, contrasting results, physiological relevance, and the lack of a clear mechanism(s) have created some debate as to the significance of elevated phosphate in the differentiation process. More recently, a number of studies have begun to shed light on possible cellular and molecular consequences of elevated intracellular inorganic phosphate. These results suggest a model in which the generation of inorganic phosphate during osteoblast differentiation may in and of itself represent a signal capable of facilitating the temporal coordination of expression and regulation of multiple factors necessary for mineralization. The regulation of protein function and gene expression by elevated inorganic phosphate during osteoblast differentiation may represent a mechanism by which mineralizing cells monitor and respond to the changing extracellular environment.

Abstract
The insulin-like growth factor type 1 receptor (IGF 1R) mediates the acute metabolic effects of IGF I as well as IGF I-stimulated cell proliferation and protection from apoptosis. IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs) can modulate these responses. We, therefore, investigated whether intrinsic IGFBPs interfere with IGF I-induced regulation of IGF 1R expression and with the biological response to IGF I in two human tumor cell lines, the non-small-cell lung cancer cell line A549 and the osteoblastic osteosarcoma cell line Saos-2/B-10. We compared the growth rates, IGFBP production, IGF I binding characteristics, IGF 1R protein and mRNA levels, and the acute IGF I response (stimulation of glycogen synthesis) after pretreatment of the cells in serum-free medium with or without added IGF I or medium supplemented with 5% fetal calf serum (FCS). In contrast to A549 cells, which produce IGF I and significant amounts of IGFBPs, survival and proliferation of Saos-2/B-10 cells, which do not produce IGF I or significant amounts of IGFBPs, depended on the addition of exogenous IGF I. IGF I increased the concentration of IGFBP-2 and -3 and decreased the concentration of IGFBP-4 in the medium of A549 cells. As compared to FCS, IGF I pretreatment in both cell lines decreased the number of specific IGF I binding sites, down-regulated total and membrane IGF 1R protein, and largely reduced or abolished the acute IGF I response without affecting IGF 1R mRNA levels. The data suggest that the IGF 1R protein of the two cell lines is translationally and/or posttranslationally down-regulated by its ligand in the presence and in the absence of locally produced IGFBPs and that the cell lines have retained this negative feedback to counteract IGF I stimulation.

Abstract
Mechanisms responsible for increased jejunal transport rates observed in tissues treated with orally administered insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) were studied in 5-day-old colostrum-deprived piglets. Human recombinant IGF-I (3.5 mg. kg(-1). day(-1)) or control vehicle was given orogastrically for 4 days. Disaccharidase activity, fructose uptake, and Na+-glucose cotransporter SGLT-1 protein abundance were similar between groups. Oral IGF-I produced greater rates of enterocyte Na+-K+-ATPase activity with no significant differences in Na+-K+-ATPase abundance. Cellular mechanisms responsible for transport changes were studied in Ussing chambers. In control tissues, the presence of IGF-I in mucosal solutions increased basal short-circuit current (I(sc)), potential difference, D-glucose-stimulated I(sc), and Na+-K+-ATPase activity; these changes were abolished by preincubation of tissues with wortmannin, a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) inhibitor. The results suggest that the effect of IGF-I on jejunal ion and nutrient transport involves activation of PI 3-kinase and stimulation of Na+-K+-ATPase activity in enterocytes.

Abstract
The effects of ethanol on muscarinic receptor-mediated calcium responses were investigated in individual primary rat astrocytes and human 132 1N1 astrocytoma cells using indo-1/AM and image cytometry. After a 30-min incubation, carbachol-induced calcium responses were inhibited only at 100 or 250 mM ethanol. The effects of ethanol were more pronounced and occurred at lower concentrations with longer exposures, with significant inhibition seen at 10 mM following a 24-hr incubation. Thapsigargin- and glutamate-induced responses were unaffected by ethanol, indicating some selectivity in this inhibition. Upon removal of ethanol, inhibition of calcium responses persisted for up to 6-12 hr, with carbachol responses returning to control levels by 24 hr after washout. Ethanol exposure did not affect muscarinic-receptor binding in astrocytoma cells, but inhibited carbachol-induced IP(3) formation. Inhibition of (3)H-thymidine incorporation by ethanol also persisted upon removal of the alcohol, with a time-dependency similar to that of the calcium responses. These results indicate that ethanol inhibits muscarinic receptor-induced calcium responses in astroglia in a concentration- and duration-dependent manner. They also show that co-incubation with ethanol is not necessary for this effect, suggesting that long-term exposure to ethanol may modify, in a reversible manner, the coupling of muscarinic receptors with its effector. This effect of ethanol may play a role in ethanol's inhibition of carbachol-induced thymidine incorporation.

Abstract
The effect of orally administered insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) on small intestinal structure and function was studied in 5-day-old colostrum-deprived piglets. Human recombinant IGF-I (3.5 mg. kg(-1). day(-1)) or control vehicle was given orogastrically for 4 days. Body weights, jejunal and ileal mucosa wet and dry weights, and serum IGF-I levels were similar in the two groups. Small intestinal villus height and crypt depth and jejunal enterocyte microvillar dimensions were also similar between groups. Oral IGF-I produced higher rates of jejunal ion transport because of increased basal Na+ absorption. Short-circuit current responses to mucosal addition of D-glucose and L-alanine and net transepithelial absorption of 3-O-methylglucose were increased by IGF-I. Carrier-mediated uptake of D-glucose per milligram in everted jejunal sleeves was greater in IGF-I-treated piglets because of a significantly greater maximal rate of uptake. We conclude that rates of net Na+ and Na+-dependent nutrient absorption are enhanced in piglets treated with oral IGF-I, and this effect is independent of changes in mucosal mass or surface area.

Abstract
The membrane receptors for the gibbon ape leukemia retrovirus and the amphotropic murine retrovirus serve normal cellular functions as sodium-dependent phosphate transporters (Pit-1 and Pit-2, respectively). Our earlier studies established that activation of protein kinase C (PKC) by treatment of cells with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) enhanced sodium-dependent phosphate (Na/Pi) uptake. Studies now have been carried out to determine which type of Na/Pi transporter (Pit-1 or Pit-2) is regulated by PKC and which PKC isotypes are involved in the up-regulation of Na/Pi uptake by the Na/Pi transporter/viral receptor. It was found that the activation of short term (2-min) Na/Pi uptake by PMA is abolished when cells are infected with amphotropic murine retrovirus (binds Pit-2 receptor) but not with gibbon ape leukemia retrovirus (binds Pit-1 receptor), indicating that Pit-2 is the form of Na/Pi transporter/viral receptor regulated by PKC. The PKC-mediated activation of Pit-2 was blocked by pretreating cells with the pan-PKC inhibitor bisindolylmaleimide but not with the conventional PKC isotype inhibitor Gö 6976, suggesting that a novel PKC isotype is required to regulate Pit-2. Overexpression of PKCepsilon, but not of PKCalpha, -delta, or -zeta, was found to mimic the activation of Na/Pi uptake. To further establish that PKCepsilon is involved in the regulation of Pit-2, cells were treated with PKCepsilon-selective antisense oligonucleotides. Treatment with PKCepsilon antisense oligonucleotides decreased the PMA-induced activation of Na/Pi uptake. These results indicate that PMA-induced stimulation of Na/Pi uptake by Pit-2 is specifically mediated through activation of PKCepsilon.

Abstract
Rats and humans with chronic renal failure (CRF) are reported to have resistance to recombinant human insulin-like growth factor-1 (rhIGF-1). Because basal cytosolic calcium ([Ca2+]i), a second messenger, may be increased in CRF, this study was conducted to examine whether elevated basal [Ca2+]i may cause resistance to IGF-1. Cardiomyocytes from four groups of rats were studied: untreated CRF, CRF with parathyroidectomy (PTX), CRF with the calcium channel blocker felodipine (F), and sham operation of the kidney (SO). CRF was created by ligation of two-thirds of the left renal artery and contralateral nephrectomy. Rats from each group were pair-fed the same diet for 20 to 22 d. Basal [Ca2+]i in cardiomyocytes (nM) in the CRF rats (102.0 +/- 2.8; SEM), was significantly higher than in each of the CRF-PTX, CRF-F, and SO groups (65.2 +/- 1.9, 63.8 +/- 2.6, and 63.5 +/- 2.0, respectively; P < 0.01). rhIGF-1 increased cardiomyocyte [Ca2+]i in all four groups of rats. The rise in [Ca2+]i was significantly diminished in the CRF rats (P < 0.05) and did not differ among the CRF-PTX, CRF-F, and SO rats. Protein synthesis after incubation with 0, 50, 100, 200, or 400 ng/ml rhIGF-1 was lower in cardiomyocytes from CRF rats than in each of the other three groups (P < 0.05) and was significantly less in the CRF-F rats compared with SO animals. IGF-1 receptor mRNA and IGF-1 receptor number and affinity were not different among the four groups. These findings suggest that cardiomyocytes from CRF rats display elevated basal [Ca2+]i and attenuated rhIGF-1-induced increase in [Ca2+]i; basal protein synthesis is decreased, and IGF-1-stimulated protein synthesis is impaired; elevated basal [Ca2+]i seems to contribute to this diminished response to rhIGF-1.
