Both enantiomers of β-aminoisobutyric acid BAIBA regulate Fgf23 via MRGPRD receptor by activating distinct signaling pathways in osteocytes. Cell Rep 2024; 43:114397.

Abstract
With exercise, muscle and bone produce factors with beneficial effects on brain, fat, and other organs. Exercise in mice increased fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), urine phosphate, and the muscle metabolite L-β-aminoisobutyric acid (L-BAIBA), suggesting that L-BAIBA may play a role in phosphate metabolism. Here, we show that L-BAIBA increases in serum with exercise and elevates Fgf23 in osteocytes. The D enantiomer, described to be elevated with exercise in humans, can also induce Fgf23 but through a delayed, indirect process via sclerostin. The two enantiomers both signal through the same receptor, Mas-related G-protein-coupled receptor type D, but activate distinct signaling pathways; L-BAIBA increases Fgf23 through Gαs/cAMP/PKA/CBP/β-catenin and Gαq/PKC/CREB, whereas D-BAIBA increases Fgf23 indirectly through sclerostin via Gαi/NF-κB. In vivo, both enantiomers increased Fgf23 in bone in parallel with elevated urinary phosphate excretion. Thus, exercise-induced increases in BAIBA and FGF23 work together to maintain phosphate homeostasis.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with significant reductions in lean body mass and in the mass of various tissues, including skeletal muscle, which causes fatigue and contributes to high mortality rates. In CKD, the cellular protein turnover is imbalanced, with protein degradation outweighing protein synthesis, leading to a loss of protein and cell mass, which impairs tissue function. As CKD itself, skeletal muscle wasting, or sarcopenia, can have various origins and causes, and both CKD and sarcopenia share common risk factors, such as diabetes, obesity, and age. While these pathologies together with reduced physical performance and malnutrition contribute to muscle loss, they cannot explain all features of CKD-associated sarcopenia. Metabolic acidosis, systemic inflammation, insulin resistance and the accumulation of uremic toxins have been identified as additional factors that occur in CKD and that can contribute to sarcopenia. Here, we discuss the elevation of systemic phosphate levels, also called hyperphosphatemia, and the imbalance in the endocrine regulators of phosphate metabolism as another CKD-associated pathology that can directly and indirectly harm skeletal muscle tissue. To identify causes, affected cell types, and the mechanisms of sarcopenia and thereby novel targets for therapeutic interventions, it is important to first characterize the precise pathologic changes on molecular, cellular, and histologic levels, and to do so in CKD patients as well as in animal models of CKD, which we describe here in detail. We also discuss the currently known pathomechanisms and therapeutic approaches of CKD-associated sarcopenia, as well as the effects of hyperphosphatemia and the novel drug targets it could provide to protect skeletal muscle in CKD.

J Appl Physiol (1985) 2023; 134:85-94. [PMID: 36454676 PMCID: PMC9829485 DOI: 10.1152/japplphysiol.00442.2022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2022] [Revised: 11/07/2022] [Accepted: 11/22/2022] [Indexed: 12/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Exercise can be both anabolic and catabolic for bone tissue. The temporal response of both bone formation and resorption following an acute bout of exercise is not well described. We assayed biochemical markers of bone and calcium metabolism for up to 3 days after military-relevant exercise. In randomized order, male (n = 18) and female (n = 2) Soldiers (means ± SD; 21.2 ± 4.1 years) performed a 60-min bout of load carriage (30% body mass; 22.4 ± 3.7 kg) treadmill exercise (EXER) or a resting control trial (REST). Blood samples were collected following provision of a standardized breakfast before (PRE), after (POST) exercise/rest, 1 h, 2 h, and 4 h into recovery. Fasted samples were also collected at 0630 on EXER and REST and for the next three mornings after EXER. Parathyroid hormone and phosphorus were elevated (208% and 128% of PRE, respectively, P < 0.05), and ionized calcium reduced (88% of PRE, P < 0.05) after EXER. N-terminal propeptide of type 1 collagen was elevated at POST (111% of PRE, P < 0.05), and the resorption marker, C-terminal propeptide of type 1 collagen was elevated at 1 h (153% of PRE, P < 0.05). Osteocalcin was higher than PRE at 1 through 4 h post EXER (119%-120% of PRE, P < 0.05). Sclerostin and Dickkopf-related protein-1 were elevated only at POST (132% and 121% of PRE, respectively, P < 0.05) during EXER. Trivial changes in biomarkers during successive recovery days were observed. These results suggest that 60 min of load carriage exercise elicits transient increases in bone formation and resorption that return to pre-exercise concentrations within 24 h post-exercise.NEW & NOTEWORTHY In this study, we demonstrated evidence for increases in both bone formation and resorption in the first 4 h after a bout of load carriage exercise. However, these changes largely disappear by 24 h after exercise. Acute formation and resorption of bone following exercise may reflect distinct physiological mechanoadaptive responses. Future work is needed to identify ways to promote acute post-exercise bone formation and minimize post-exercise resorption to optimize bone adaptation to exercise.

Abstract
Bone serves as the support for body and provide attachment points for the muscles. The musculoskeletal system is the basis for the human body to complete exercise. Studies believe that bone is not only the basis for constructing structures, but also participates in the regulation of organs outside bone. The realization of this function is closely related to the protein secreted by bone. Whether bone can realize their positions in the human body is also related to their secretion. Bone-derived proteins provide a medium for the targeted regulation of bones on organs, making the role of bone in human body more profound and concrete. Mechanical stimulation effects the extra-skeletal organs by causing quantitative changes in bone-derived factors. When bone receives mechanical stimulation, the nichle of bone responds, and the secretion of various factors changes. However, whether the proteins secreted by bone can interfere with disease requires more research. In this review article, we will first introduce the important reasons and significance of the in-depth study on bone-derived secretory proteins, and summarize the locations, structures and functions of these proteins. These functions will not only focus on the bone metabolism process, but also be reflected in the cross-organ regulation. We specifically explain the role of typical bone-derived secretory factors such as osteocalcin (OCN), osteopontin (OPN), sclerostin (SOST) and fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) in different organs and metabolic processes, then establishing the relationship between them and diseases. Finally, we will discuss whether exercise or mechanical stimulation can have a definite effect on bone-derived secretory factors. Understanding their important role in cross-organ regulation is of great significance for the treatment of diseases, especially for the elderly people with more than one basic disease.

From Athens to Sparta-37 Years of Spartathlon. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:ijerph18094914. [PMID: 34063017 PMCID: PMC8124832 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph18094914] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2021] [Revised: 04/27/2021] [Accepted: 05/01/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
(1) Background: Recent studies analyzed the participation and performance trends of historic races such as the oldest ultra-marathon (Comrades) or the oldest 100-km ultra-marathon (Biel). One of the toughest and historic ultra-marathons in the world is the ‘Spartathlon’ (246-km ultra-marathon from Athens to Sparta). The present study aimed to analyze the trends in participation and performance of this race. (2) Methods: Different general linear models were applied as follows: the first model was a two-way ANOVA (Decade × Sex), with separate models for all participants and for only the top five finishers in each race; the second model was a two-way ANOVA (Age Group × Sex); the third model was a two-way ANOVA (Nationality × Sex). (3) Results: Between 1982 and 2019, 3504 ultra-marathoners (3097 men and 407 women) officially finished the Spartathlon at least once. Athletes from Japan were the majority with 737 participants, followed by far by runners from Germany (n = 393), Greece (n = 326), and France (n = 274). The nations with the highest numbers of athletes amongst the top five performers were Japan (n = 71), followed by Germany (n = 59), and Great Britain (n = 31). Runners from the USA were the fastest in men, and runners from Great Britain were the fastest in women. Female and male runners improved performance across the decades. The annual five fastest women and men improved their performance over time. Runners achieved their best performance earlier in life (20–29 and 30–39 years) than female runners (30–39 and 40–49 years). Runners in age group 30–39 years were the fastest for all nationalities, except for Greece. (4) Conclusions: Successful finishers in the Spartathlon improved performance in the last four decades and male runners achieved their best performance ~10 years earlier in life than female runners.
