Abstract
INTRODUCTION Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a common complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD). It begins as an adaptive increase in parathyroid hormone levels to prevent calcium and phosphate derangements. Over time, this condition becomes maladaptive and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Current therapies encompass phosphate-lowering strategies, vitamin D analogues, calcimimetics and parathyroidectomy. These approaches harbor inherent limitations, stimulating interest in the development of new drugs for SHPT to overcome these limitations and improve survival and quality of life among CKD patients. AREAS COVERED This review delves into the main pathophysiological mechanisms involved in SHPT, alongside the treatment options that are currently available and under active investigation. Data presented herein stem from a comprehensive search conducted across PubMed, Web of Science, ClinicalTrials.gov and International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP) spanning from 2000 onwards. EXPERT OPINION The advancements in investigational drugs for SHPT hold significant promise for enhancing treatment efficacy while minimizing side effects associated with conventional therapies. Although several challenges still hinder their adoption in clinical practice, ongoing research will likely continue to expand the available therapeutic options, refine treatment strategies, and tailor them to individual patient profiles.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) each play a central role in the pathogenesis of chronic kidney disease (CKD)-mineral and bone disorder. Levels of both hormones increase progressively in advanced CKD and can lead to damage in multiple organs. Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT), characterized by parathyroid hyperplasia with increased PTH secretion, is associated with fractures and mortality. Emerging evidence suggests that these associations may be partially explained by PTH-induced browning of adipose tissue and increased energy expenditure. Observational studies suggest a survival benefit of PTHlowering therapy, and a recent study comparing parathyroidectomy and calcimimetics further suggests the importance of intensive PTH control. The mechanisms underlying the regulation of FGF23 secretion by osteocytes in response to phosphate load have been unclear, but recent experimental studies have identified glycerol-3-phosphate, a byproduct of glycolysis released by the kidney, as a key regulator of FGF23 production. Elevated FGF23 levels have been shown to be associated with mortality, and experimental data suggest off-target adverse effects of FGF23. However, the causal role of FGF23 in adverse outcomes in CKD patients remains to be established. Further studies are needed to determine whether intensive SHPT control improves clinical outcomes and whether treatment targeting FGF23 can improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
We conducted a systematic search across medical databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library, up to March 2023. A total of 1944 subjects or individuals from 17 studies were included in our final analysis. The correlation coefficient (r) between sKlotho and calcium was [0.14, (0.02, 0.26)], and a moderate heterogeneity was observed (I2 = 66%, P < 0.05). The correlation coefficient (r) between Klotho and serum phosphate was [- 0.21, (- 0.37, - 0.04)], with apparent heterogeneity (I2 = 84%, P < 0.05). The correlation coefficient (r) between sKlotho and parathyroid hormone and vascular calcification was [- 0.23,(- 0.29, - 0.17); - 0.15, (- 0.23, - 0.08)], with no significant heterogeneity among the studies. (I2 = 40%, P < 0.05; I2 = 30%, P < 0.05). A significant correlation exists between low sKlotho levels and an increased risk of CKD-MBD in patients with CKD. According to the findings, sKlotho may play a role in alleviating CKD-MBD by lowering phosphorus and parathyroid hormone levels, regulating calcium levels, and suppressing vascular calcification. As analysis showed that sKlotho has an important impact on the pathogenesis and progression of CKD-MBD in CKD patients. Nonetheless, further comprehensive and high-quality studies are needed to validate our conclusions.

Klotho Overexpression Is Frequently Associated With Upstream Rearrangements in Fusion-Negative Phosphaturic Mesenchymal Tumors of Bone and Sinonasal Tract. Mod Pathol 2023; 36:100336. [PMID: 37742927 DOI: 10.1016/j.modpat.2023.100336] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2023] [Revised: 08/31/2023] [Accepted: 09/15/2023] [Indexed: 09/26/2023]
Abstract
Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumors (PMT) are uncommon neoplasms that cause hypophosphatemia/osteomalacia mainly by secreting fibroblast growth factor 23. We previously identified FN1::FGFR1/FGF1 fusions in nearly half of the PMTs and frequent KL (Klotho or α-Klotho) overexpression in only those with no known fusion. Here, we studied a larger cohort of PMTs for KL expression and alterations. By FN1 break-apart fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and reappraisal of previous RNA sequencing data, 6 tumors previously considered "fusion-negative" (defined by negative results of FISH for FN1::FGFR1 fusion and FGF1 break-apart and/or of RNA sequencing) were reclassified as fusion-positive PMTs, including 1 containing a novel FN1::ZACN fusion. The final cohort of fusion-negative PMTs included 33 tumors from 32 patients, which occurred in the bone (n = 18), soft tissue (n = 10), sinonasal tract (n = 4), and brain (n = 1). In combination with previous work, RNA sequencing, RNA in situ hybridization, and immunohistochemistry showed largely concordant results and demonstrated KL/α-Klotho overexpression in 17 of the 28 fusion-negative and none of the 10 fusion-positive PMTs studied. Prompted by a patient in this cohort harboring germline KL upstream translocation with systemic α-Klotho overexpression and multifocal PMTs, FISH was performed and revealed KL rearrangement in 16 of the 33 fusion-negative PMTs (one also with amplification), including 14 of the 17 cases with KL/α-Klotho overexpression and none of the 11 KL/α-Klotho-low fusion-negative and 11 fusion-positive cases studied. Whole genomic sequencing confirmed translocation and inversion in 2 FISH-positive cases involving the KL upstream region, warranting further investigation into the mechanism whereby these rearrangements may lead to KL upregulation. Methylated DNA immunoprecipitation and sequencing suggested no major role of promoter methylation in KL regulation in PMT. Interestingly, KL-high/-rearranged cases seemed to form a clinicopathologically homogeneous group, showing a predilection for skeletal/sinonasal locations and typically matrix-poor, cellular solitary fibrous tumor-like morphology. Importantly, FGFR1 signaling pathways were upregulated in fusion-negative PMTs regardless of the KL status compared with non-PMT mesenchymal tumors by gene set enrichment analysis, perhaps justifying FGFR1 inhibition in treating this subset of PMTs.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) each play a central role in the pathogenesis of chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD). Both hormones increase as kidney function declines, presumably as a response to maintain normal phosphate balance, but when patients reach kidney failure, PTH and FGF23 fail to exert their phosphaturic effects, leading to hyperphosphatemia and further elevations in PTH and FGF23. In patients with kidney failure, the major target organ for PTH is the bone, but elevated PTH is also associated with mortality presumably through skeletal and nonskeletal mechanisms. Indeed, accumulated evidence suggests improved survival with PTH-lowering therapies, and a more recent study comparing parathyroidectomy and calcimimetic treatment further suggests a notion of "the lower, the better" for PTH control. Emerging data suggest that the link between SHPT and mortality could in part be explained by the action of PTH to induce adipose tissue browning and wasting. In the absence of a functioning kidney, the classical target organ for FGF23 is the parathyroid gland, but FGF23 loses its hormonal effect to suppress PTH secretion owing to the depressed expression of parathyroid Klotho. In this setting, experimental data suggest that FGF23 exerts adverse nontarget effects, but it remains to be confirmed whether FGF23 directly contributes to multiple organ injury in patients with kidney failure and whether targeting FGF23 can improve patient outcomes. Further efforts should be made to determine whether intensive control of SHPT improves clinical outcomes and whether nephrologists should aim at controlling FGF23 levels just as with PTH levels.

Abstract
It has been hypothesized that α-Klotho deficiency might contribute to chronic inflammation in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), especially those on hemodialysis (HD). Serum Klotho levels by some authors are considered a potential predictor of cerebrovascular events. Therefore, we analyzed serum levels of α-Klotho with ELISA and inflammation-related cytokines in HD patients. Sixty-seven HD patients and 19 healthy people were recruited between November 2017 and June 2021. A Cytometric Bead Array (CBA) was used to determine the level of different cytokines: IL-12p70, TNF, IL-10, IL-6, IL-1β, and IL-8. A human Klotho ELISA kit was used to determine the level of α-Klotho in the plasma samples of HD patients. There was no difference in serum levels of α-Klotho between HD patients and healthy people. Patients had increased serum IL-6 and IL-8. Significant positive correlations existed between the concentration of α-Klotho and the serum concentrations of IL-12p70, IL-10, and IL-1β. However, in a multivariable linear regression analysis, only patients' age was associated independently with α-Klotho level. Serum α-Klotho was not associated with higher mortality risk in HD patients. While these results draw attention to potential relationships between α-Klotho proteins and inflammatory markers in HD patients, our cross-sectional study could not confirm the pathogenic link between α-Klotho, inflammation, and cardiovascular mortality.

Abstract
A common consequence of chronic renal disease is secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) and is closely related to the mortality and morbidity of uremia patients. Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is caused by excessive PTH production and release, as well as parathyroid enlargement. At present, the mechanism of cell proliferation in secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is not completely clear. Decreased expression of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR), and 1,25(OH)2D3 insufficiency all lead to a decrease in cell proliferation suppression, and activation of multiple pathways is also involved in cell proliferation in renal hyperparathyroidism. The interaction between the parathormone (PTH) and parathyroid hyperplasia and 1,25(OH)2D3 has received considerable attention. 1,25(OH)2D3 is commonly applied in the therapy of renal hyperparathyroidism. It regulates the production of parathormone (PTH) and parathyroid cell proliferation through transcription and post-transcription mechanisms. This article reviews the role of 1,25(OH)2D3 in parathyroid cells in secondary hyperparathyroidism and its current understanding and potential molecular mechanism.

Abstract
The number of the patients with chronic kidney disease is now increasing in the world. The pathophysiology of renal hyperparathyroidism is closely associated with Klotho-FGF-endocrine axes, which must be solved definitively as early as possible. It was revealed that the expression of fgf23 is activated by calciprotein particles, which induces vascular ossification. And it is well known that phosphorus overload directly increases parathyroid hormone and hyperparathyroid bone disease develops in those subjects. On the other hand, low turnover bone disease is often recently. Both the patients with chronic kidney disease suffering from hyperparathyroid bone disease or low turnover bone disease are associated with increased fracture risk. Micropetrosis may be one of the causes of increased fracture risk in the subjects with low turnover bone disease. In this chapter, we now describe the diagnosis, pathophysiology and treatments of renal hyperparathyroidism.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease is common and causes significant morbidity including shortened lifespans and decrease in quality of life for patients. The major cause of mortality in chronic kidney disease is cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease within the chronic kidney disease population is closely tied with disordered calcium and phosphorus metabolism and driven in part by renal bone disease. The complex nature of renal, bone, and cardiovascular diseases was renamed as mineral and bone disorder of chronic kidney disease to encompass how bone disease drives vascular calcification and contributes to the development of long-term cardiovascular disease, and recent data suggest that managing bone disease well can augment and improve cardiovascular disease status. Pediatric nephrologists have additional obstacles in optimal mineral and bone disorder of chronic kidney disease management such as linear growth and skeletal maturation. In this article, we will discuss cardiovascular and bone diseases in chronic kidney disease and end-stage kidney disease patients with a focus on pediatric issues and concerns.

Abstract
Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHP) is a common complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD) that induces morbidity and mortality in patients. How CKD stimulates the parathyroid to increase parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion, gene expression and cell proliferation remains an open question. In experimental SHP, the increased PTH gene expression is post-transcriptional and mediated by PTH mRNA–protein interactions that promote PTH mRNA stability. These interactions are orchestrated by the isomerase Pin1. Pin1 participates in conformational change-based regulation of target proteins, including mRNA-binding proteins. In SHP, Pin1 isomerase activity is decreased, and thus, the Pin1 target and PTH mRNA destabilizing protein KSRP fails to bind PTH mRNA, increasing PTH mRNA stability and levels. An additional level of post-transcriptional regulation is mediated by microRNA (miRNA). Mice with parathyroid-specific knockout of Dicer, which facilitates the final step in miRNA maturation, lack parathyroid miRNAs but have normal PTH and calcium levels. Surprisingly, these mice fail to increase serum PTH in response to hypocalcemia or uremia, indicating a role for miRNAs in parathyroid stimulation. SHP often leads to parathyroid hyperplasia. Reduced expressions of parathyroid regulating receptors, activation of transforming growth factor α-epidermal growth factor receptor, cyclooxygenase 2-prostaglandin E2 and mTOR signaling all contribute to the enhanced parathyroid cell proliferation. Inhibition of mTOR by rapamycin prevents and corrects the increased parathyroid cell proliferation of SHP. This review summarizes the current knowledge on the mechanisms that stimulate the parathyroid cell at multiple levels in SHP.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease mineral and bone disorder may persist after successful kidney transplantation. Persistent hyperparathyroidism has been identified in up to 80% of patients throughout the first year after kidney transplantation. International guidelines lack strict recommendations about the management of persistent hyperparathyroidism. However, it is associated with adverse graft and patient outcomes, including higher fracture risk and an increased risk of all-cause mortality and allograft loss. Secondary hyperparathyroidism may be treated medically (vitamin D, phosphate binders and calcimimetics) or surgically (parathyroidectomy). Guideline recommendations suggest medical therapy first but do not clarify optimal parathyroid hormone targets or indications and timing of parathyroidectomy. There are no clear guidelines or long-term studies about the impact of hyperparathyroidism therapy. Parathyroidectomy is more effective than medical treatment, although it is associated with increased short-term risks. Ideally parathyroidectomy should be performed before kidney transplantation to prevent persistent hyperparathyroidism and improve graft outcomes. We now propose a roadmap for the management of secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients eligible for kidney transplantation that includes the indications and timing (pre- or post-kidney transplantation) of parathyroidectomy, the evaluation of parathyroid gland size and the integration of parathyroid gland size in the decision-making process by a multidisciplinary team of nephrologists, radiologists and surgeons.

Abstract
Renal anemia is a common complication in chronic kidney disease (CKD), associated with decreased production of erythropoietin (EPO) due to loss of kidney function, and subsequent decreased red blood cell (RBC) production. However, many other factors play a critical role in the development of renal anemia, such as iron deficiency, inflammation, and elevated fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) levels. We previously reported that inhibition of FGF23 signaling rescues anemia in mice with CKD. In the present study we sought to investigate whether α-Klotho deficiency present in CKD also contributes to the development of renal anemia. To address this, we administered α-Klotho to mice with CKD induced by an adenine-rich diet. Mice were sacrificed 24 h after α-Klotho injection, and blood and organs were collected immediately post-mortem. Our data show that α-Klotho administration had no beneficial effect in mice with CKD-associated anemia as it did not increase RBC numbers and hemoglobin levels, and it did not stimulate EPO secretion. Moreover, α-Klotho did not improve iron deficiency and inflammation in CKD as it had no effect on iron levels or inflammatory markers. Interestingly, Klotho supplementation significantly reduced the number of erythroid progenitors in the bone marrow and downregulated renal Epo and Hif2α mRNA in mice fed control diet resulting in reduced circulating EPO levels in these mice. In addition, Klotho significantly decreased intestinal absorption of iron in control mice leading to reduced serum iron and transferrin saturation levels. Our findings demonstrate that α-Klotho does not have a direct role in renal anemia and that FGF23 suppresses erythropoiesis in CKD via a Klotho-independent mechanism. However, in physiological conditions α-Klotho appears to have an inhibitory effect on erythropoiesis and iron regulation.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and acute kidney injury (AKI) are public health problems, and their prevalence rates have increased with the aging of the population. They are associated with the presence of comorbidities, in particular diabetes mellitus and hypertension, resulting in a high financial burden for the health system. Studies have indicated Klotho as a promising therapeutic approach for these conditions. Klotho reduces inflammation, oxidative stress and fibrosis and counter-regulates the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. In CKD and AKI, Klotho expression is downregulated from early stages and correlates with disease progression. Therefore, the restoration of its levels, through exogenous or endogenous pathways, has renoprotective effects. An important strategy for administering Klotho is through mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). In summary, this review comprises in vitro and in vivo studies on the therapeutic potential of Klotho for the treatment of CKD and AKI through the administration of MSCs.

Abstract
This article aims to review the methods used for the assessment of fracture risk and the use of osteoporosis medications for fracture prevention in the population with CKD, and highlights the difficulties faced by clinicians in the management of these patients and the latest recommendations and guidelines. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and osteoporosis often co-exist in older adults, and they present a major healthcare challenge. CKD mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) occurs as renal function declines and this syndrome affects most patients in CKD stages 4 and 5. The biochemical abnormalities of CKD-MBD, renal bone disease and risk factors associated with age-related bone loss and osteoporosis lead to a cumulative effect on fracture risk and mortality. There is a need for routine evaluation of fracture risk and fracture prevention in this population. Measurement of bone mineral density (BMD) and the use of the FRAX tool have predictive value for incident fractures in the general population and in CKD. This enables physicians to identify CKD patients most at risk of sustaining a fragility fracture and allows a more targeted approach to fracture prevention. Data analysis from the pivotal trials of therapeutic agents used in osteoporosis show that these drugs can be considered in mild and moderate CKD (stages 1-3 CKD). Off-label drug use in patients with CKD-MBD and more severe renal impairment (CKD stages 4 and 5) could offer significant benefits to sub-groups of patients when carefully tailored to each individual's bone turnover and calcium and phosphate balance. However, this requires a selective approach and treatment decisions based on inference from pathophysiology while we await further trials. Guidelines advocate the correction and/or reduction of the biochemical abnormalities of CKD-MBD before initiation of treatment with osteoporosis drugs and close monitoring during treatment.

Abstract
Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is an integral component of the chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD). Many factors have been associated with the development and progression of SHPT but the presence of skeletal or calcemic resistance to the action of PTH in CKD has often gone unnoticed. The term hyporesponsiveness to PTH is currently preferred and, in this chapter, we will not only review the scientific timeline but also some of the molecular mechanisms behind. Moreover, the presence of resistance to the biological action of PTH is not unique in CKD since resistance to other hormones has also been described ("uremia as a receptor disease"). This hyporesponsiveness carries out important clinical implications since it explains, at least partially, not only the progressive nature of the pathogenesis of CKD-related PTH hypersecretion and parathyroid hyperplasia but also the increasing prevalence of adynamic bone disease in the CKD population. Therefore, we underline the importance of PTH control in all CKD stages, but not aiming to completely normalize PTH levels since a certain degree of SHPT may represent an adaptive clinical response. Future studies at the molecular level, i.e. on uremia or the recent description of the calcium-sensing receptor as a phosphate sensor, may become of great value beyond their significance to explain just the hyporesponsiveness to PTH in CKD.

Abstract
Derangements in mineral metabolism are one of the main entities in chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD). This is the second of a two-part review of the physiology and pathophysiology of calcium homeostasis in feline CKD-MBD. While dysregulation in calcium homeostasis is known to contribute to the development of vascular calcification in CKD, evidence characterising the relationship between serum calcium concentration and nephrocalcinosis and nephrolithiasis is limited. Recently, fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) and α-Klotho have gained increased research interest and been shown to be important biomarkers for the prediction of CKD progression in human patients. However, conflicting evidence exists on their role in calcium homeostasis and vascular and soft tissue calcification. This review details the pathophysiology of calcium disorders associated with CKD-MBD and its implications on vascular and soft tissue mineralisation in human and feline patients. Further prospective studies investigating the clinical consequences of calcium disturbances in cats with CKD are warranted and this may provide additional insight into the pathophysiology of feline CKD-MBD.

Abstract
Disturbances in mineral and bone metabolism are common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), especially those undergoing dialysis. Renal osteodystrophy, which describes an alteration of bone morphology, is an important component of this systemic disorder and may explain the elevated risk of fracture which adversely affects morbidity and mortality. The most common form of renal osteodystrophy is high-turnover bone disease (osteitis fibrosa), which is induced by secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT). During the past decade, there has been considerable advances in the management of SHPT, with the introduction of the calcimimetic agents, the optimized use of nutritional and active vitamin D, and the accumulated experience with surgical parathyroidectomy. Studies supported that these advances could translate into improvement of renal bone disease and fracture prevention, as well as decreasing the risk of cardiovascular events and mortality. In this review, we summarize the available clinical evidence on the effect of old and new drugs on bone disorders in patients with CKD.

Abstract
Together with fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) 19 and 21, FGF23 is an endocrine member of the family of FGFs. Mainly secreted by bone cells, FGF23 acts as a hormone on the kidney, stimulating phosphate excretion and suppressing formation of 1,25(OH)2D3, active vitamin D. These effects are dependent on transmembrane protein αKlotho, which enhances the binding affinity of FGF23 for FGF receptors (FGFR). Locally produced FGF23 in other tissues including liver or heart exerts further paracrine effects without involvement of αKlotho. Soluble Klotho (sKL) is an endocrine factor that is cleaved off of transmembrane Klotho or generated by alternative splicing and regulates membrane channels, transporters, and intracellular signaling including insulin growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and Wnt pathways, signaling cascades highly relevant for tumor progression. In mice, lack of FGF23 or αKlotho results in derangement of phosphate metabolism and a syndrome of rapid aging with abnormalities affecting most organs and a very short life span. Conversely, overexpression of anti-aging factor αKlotho results in a profound elongation of life span. Accumulating evidence suggests a major role of αKlotho as a tumor suppressor, at least in part by inhibiting IGF-1 and Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Hence, in many malignancies, higher αKlotho expression or activity is associated with a more favorable outcome. Moreover, also FGF23 and phosphate have been revealed to be factors relevant in cancer. FGF23 is particularly significant for those forms of cancer primarily affecting bone (e.g., multiple myeloma) or characterized by bone metastasis. This review summarizes the current knowledge of the significance of FGF23 and αKlotho for tumor cell signaling, biology, and clinically relevant parameters in different forms of cancer.

Abstract
Hyperphosphatemia is common in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Often seen as the "silent killer" because of its dramatic effect on vascular calcifications, hyperphosphatemia explains, at least partly, the onset of the complex mineral and bone disorders associated with CKD (CKD-MBD), together with hypocalcemia and decreased 1-25(OH)2 vitamin D levels. The impact of CKD-MBD may be immediate with abnormalities of bone and mineral metabolism with secondary hyperparathyroidism and increased FGF23 levels, or delayed with poor growth, bone deformities, fractures, and vascular calcifications, leading to increased morbidity and mortality. The global management of CKD-MBD has been detailed in international guidelines for adults and children, however, with difficulties to obtain an agreement on the ideal PTH targets. The clinical management of hyperphosphatemia is a daily challenge for nephrologists and pediatric nephrologists, notably because of the phosphate overload in occidental diets that is mainly due to the phosphate "hidden" in food additives. The management begins with a dietary restriction of phosphate intake, and is followed by the use of calcium-based and non-calcium-based phosphate binders, and/or the intensification of dialysis. The objective of this review is to provide an overview of the pathophysiology of hyperphosphatemia in CKD, with a focus on its deleterious effects and a description of the clinical management of hyperphosphatemia in a more global setting of CKD-MBD.

Abstract
Klotho is a membrane-bound protein acting as an obligatory coreceptor for fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) in the kidney and parathyroid glands. The extracellular portion of its molecule may be cleaved and released into the blood and produces multiple endocrine effects. Klotho exerts anti-inflammatory and antioxidative activities that may explain its ageing suppression effects evidenced in mice; it also modulates mineral metabolism and FGF23 activities and limits their negative impact on cardiovascular system. Clinical studies have found that circulating Klotho is associated with myocardial hypertrophy, coronary artery disease and stroke and may also be involved in the pathogenesis of salt-sensitive hypertension with a mechanism sustained by inflammatory cytokines. As a consequence, patients maintaining high serum levels of Klotho not only show decreased cardiovascular mortality but also non-cardiovascular mortality. Klotho genetic polymorphisms may influence these clinical relationships and predict cardiovascular risk; rs9536314 was the polymorphism most frequently involved in these associations. These findings suggest that Klotho and its genetic polymorphisms may represent a bridge between inflammation, salt sensitivity, hypertension and mortality. This may be particularly relevant in patients with chronic kidney disease who have decreased Klotho levels in tissues and blood.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Posttransplant bone diseases are a major cause of morbidity in kidney transplant recipients. We investigated the relationship between klotho gene single-nucleotide polymorphisms and bone diseases after kidney transplant. We also aimed to identify possible risk factors for development of bone disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study consisted of 251 kidney transplant recipients (164 men and 87 women) with minimum follow-up of 3 years after kidney transplant. Patients with prolonged immobilization, malignancy, parathyroidectomy, glomerular filtration rates less than 30 mL/min/1.73 m², hypo- or hyperthyroidism, and treatment with drugs that affect bone metabolism were excluded. We investigated the relationship between 6 single-nucleotide polymorphisms of the klotho gene (rs480780, rs211234, rs576404, rs211235, rs9536314, and rs1207568) and development of osteoporosis, avascular bone necrosis, and persistent hyperparathyroidism. RESULTS Longer dialysis treatment (odds ratio, 1.13; P = .002) and rs211235 single-nucleotide polymorphism in the klotho gene (odds ratio, 9.87; P = .001 for GG genotype) were significantly associated with persistent hyperparathyroidism. A higher magnesium level was detected as a protective factor from development of persistent hyperparathyroidism (odds ratio, 0.19; P = .009). Persistent hyperparathyroidism was defined as a risk factor for development of osteopenia/osteoporosis (odds ratio, 2.76; P = .003) and avascular bone necrosis (odds ratio, 2.52; P= .03). Although the rs480780 (odds ratio, 8.73; P = .04) single-nucleotide polymorphism in the klotho gene was defined as a risk factor for development of osteopenia/osteoporosis, none of the klotho single-nucleotide polymorphisms was found to be associated with development of avascular bone necrosis. CONCLUSIONS Persistent hyperparathyroidism could be an important indicator for development of bone disease in kidney transplant recipients. Also, some of the klotho gene single-nucleotide polymorphisms are associated with higher risk for bone disease after kidney transplant.

A review of phosphorus homeostasis and the impact of different types and amounts of dietary phosphate on metabolism and renal health in cats. J Vet Intern Med 2020; 34:2187-2196. [PMID: 33159358 PMCID: PMC7694857 DOI: 10.1111/jvim.15961] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2020] [Revised: 10/11/2020] [Accepted: 10/27/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Elevated concentrations of serum phosphate are linked with progression and increased case fatality rate in animals and humans with chronic kidney disease. Elevated concentrations of serum phosphate can be a risk factor for development of renal and cardiovascular diseases or osteoporosis in previously healthy people. In rodents, an excess intake of dietary phosphorus combined with an inverse dietary calcium : phosphorus ratio (<1 : 1) contributes to renal calcification. Renal injury also has occured in cats fed experimental diets supplemented with highly soluble phosphate salts, especially in diets with inverse calcium : phosphorus ratios. However, not all phosphorus sources contribute similarly to this effect. This review, which focuses on cats, summarizes the published evidence regarding phosphorus metabolism and homeostasis, including the relative impact of different dietary phosphorus sources, and their impact on the kidneys. No data currently shows that commercial cat foods induce renal injury. However, some diets contain high amounts of phosphorus relative to recommendations and some have inverse Ca : P ratios and so could increase the risk for development of kidney disease. While limiting the use of highly soluble phosphates appears to be important, there are insufficient data to support a specific upper limit for phosphate intake. This review also proposes areas where additional research is needed in order to strengthen conclusions and recommendations regarding dietary phosphorus for cats.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Elevated fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) levels have been strongly associated with mortality in the predialysis and incident hemodialysis populations, but few studies have examined this relationship in a large cohort of prevalent hemodialysis patients and in particular among persons with high dialysis vintage. To address this, we analyzed data from the Japan Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (J-DOPPS). METHODS We included 1122 prevalent hemodialysis patients from the J-DOPPS phase 5 (2012-2015) who had FGF23 measurements. We evaluated the association of FGF23 levels with all-cause mortality and cardiovascular composite outcome using Cox regression adjusted for potential confounders. RESULTS At study enrollment, median dialysis vintage was 5.8 years (interquartile range, 2.7-12.4 years) and median FGF23 level was 2113 pg/ml (interquartile range, 583-6880 pg/ml). During 3-year follow-up, 154 of the 1122 participants died. In adjusted analyses, higher FGF23 was associated with a greater hazard of death (hazard ratio per doubling of FGF23, 1.12; 95% confidence interval, 1.03-1.21); however, the association became weaker as the dialysis vintage increased and finally disappeared in the highest tertile (>9.4 years). Similar patterns of effect modification by dialysis vintage were observed for cardiovascular composite outcome and in time-dependent models. CONCLUSION Elevated FGF23 was associated with mortality and cardiovascular events in prevalent hemodialysis patients, but the association was attenuated at longer dialysis vintages. This novel finding suggests that long-term hemodialysis patients may be less susceptible to the detrimental effects of FGF23 or correlated biological processes, and additional studies are needed to gain understanding of these possibilities.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with the development of mineral bone disorder (MBD), osteoporosis, and fragility fractures. Among CKD patients, adynamic bone disease or low bone turnover is the most common type of renal osteodystrophy. The consequences of CKD-MBD include increased fracture risk, greater morbidity, and mortality. Thus, the goal is to prevent the occurrences of fractures by means of alleviating CKD-induced MBD and treating subsequent osteoporosis. Changes in mineral and humoral metabolism as well as bone structure develop early in the course of CKD. CKD-MBD includes abnormalities of calcium, phosphorus, PTH, and/or vitamin D; abnormalities in bone turnover, mineralization, volume, linear growth, or strength; and/or vascular or other soft tissue calcification. In patients with CKD-MBD, using either DXA or FRAX to screen fracture risk should be considered. Biomarkers such as bALP and iPTH may assist to assess bone turnover. Before initiating an antiresorptive or anabolic agent to treat osteoporosis in CKD patients, lifestyle modifications, such as exercise, calcium, and vitamin D supplementation, smoking cessation, and avoidance of excessive alcohol intake are important. Managing hyperphosphatemia and SHPT are also crucial. Understanding the complex pathogenesis of CKD-MBD is crucial in improving one’s short- and long-term outcomes. Treatment strategies for CKD-associated osteoporosis should be patient-centered to determine the type of renal osteodystrophy. This review focuses on the mechanism, evaluation and management of patients with CKD-MBD. However, further studies are needed to explore more details regarding the underlying pathophysiology and to assess the safety and efficacy of agents for treating CKD-MBD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The calcium-sensing receptor is an important treatment target for secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in patients undergoing dialysis. In addition to vitamin D receptor activator, cinacalcet has recently been widely used for SHPT management, and the significant suppression of parathyroid hormone (PTH) with better control of serum calcium and phosphorus has been reported. However, low adherence and insufficient dose escalation mainly due to frequent gastrointestinal adverse events, still remain as major issues. To overcome these unmet needs, we have developed a new oral calcimimetic agent evocalcet, which has recently been approved by the Pharmaceutical Affairs Act in Japan. AREAS COVERED PubMed was searched from inception until April 2020 with the word evocalcet to summarize the development of this new calcimimetic agent, its pharmacokinetics, and the results of clinical trials, along with an overview of the differences among calcimimetic agents. This review also includes the management of SHPT with a focus on calcimimetics. EXPERT OPINION Evocalcet evoked fewer gastrointestinal-related adverse events while suppressing PTH at a lower dose than cinacalcet. These data suggest evocalcet may contribute to better adherence and sufficient dose escalation in patients with SHPT. Whether or not evocalcet improves clinical outcomes remains to be elucidated.

Abstract
Aim: The correlation between soluble Klotho (sKlotho) levels and clinical outcomes
remains inconclusive for patients undergoing maintenance haemodialysis
(MHD). We aimed to evaluate the potential predictive significance of sKlotho
in this population by conducting a meta-analysis. Methods: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane Library were comprehensively
searched for studies concerning the association between sKlotho level and
clinical outcomes including cardiovascular (CV) events and all-cause
mortality. The pooled hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI)
were generated using either random or fixed effects models. Sensitivity and
subgroup analyses were used to explore heterogeneity sources. Results: Eight prospective studies with 992 MHD participants were included and reduced
sKlotho levels predicted more adverse outcomes in this meta-analysis. The
pooled HRs and 95% CIs related to CV events, mortality, or composite
outcomes were 1.73 (95% CI 1.08–2.76, p = 0.02), 2.34 (95%
CI 1.34–2.07, p = 0.003) or 1.75 (95% CI 1.19–2.57,
p = 0.005). Moderate heterogeneity was observed in the
composite adverse outcomes (I2 = 57%,
p = 0.05). Age and sKlotho level were the main sources
of heterogeneities in the subgroup analysis. Conclusion: Lower sKlotho levels were associated with more CV events and all-cause
mortality, suggesting that sKlotho may have predictive value in CKD patients
receiving haemodialysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Klotho is a multifunctional protein, which exists both in a membrane bound and a soluble form. In renal tubules, Klotho is involved in cell senescence, anti-oxidant response, and renal fibrosis, thus regulation of its expression is critical to understand its roles in renal diseases. Indeed, reduced expression was observed in various renal disease. However, the mechanisms underlying transcriptional regulation of the human klotho gene (KL) largely remain unknown. RESULTS Here we demonstrated that the Klotho expression in human renal tubular epithelial cells (RTECs) was enhanced by overexpression of the transcription factor Sp1. On the contrary, Klotho expression was decreased by Sp1 knockdown. Besides, increased expression of Sp1 alleviated TGF-β1-induced fibrosis in HK-2 cells by inducing Klotho expression. Luciferase reporter assays and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays further identified the binding site of Sp1 was located in - 394 to - 289 nt of the KL promoter, which was further confirmed by mutation analysis. CONCLUSIONS These data demonstrate that KL is a transcriptional target of Sp1 and TGF-β1-induced fibrosis was alleviated by Sp1 in human RTECs by directly modulating Klotho expression, which help to further understand the transcriptional regulation of Klotho in renal disease models.

Abstract
Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHP) is a common complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD) that correlates with morbidity and mortality in uremic patients. It is characterized by high serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels and impaired bone and mineral metabolism. The main mechanisms underlying SHP are increased PTH biosynthesis and secretion as well as increased glandular mass. The mechanisms leading to parathyroid cell proliferation in SHP are not fully understood. Reduced expressions of the receptors for calcium and vitamin D contribute to the disinhibition of parathyroid cell proliferation. Activation of transforming growth factor-α-epidermal growth factor receptor (TGF-α-EGFR), nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB), and cyclooxygenase 2- prostaglandin E2 (Cox2-PGE2) signaling all correlate with parathyroid cell proliferation, underlining their roles in the development of SHP. In addition, the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway is activated in parathyroid glands of experimental SHP rats. Inhibition of mTOR by rapamycin prevents and corrects the increased parathyroid cell proliferation of SHP. Mice with parathyroid-specific deletion of all miRNAs have a muted increase in serum PTH and fail to increase parathyroid cell proliferation when challenged by CKD, suggesting that miRNA is also necessary for the development of SHP. This review summarizes the current knowledge on the mechanisms of parathyroid cell proliferation in SHP.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Among the family of fibroblast growth factors (FGFs), FGF19, FGF21, and FGF23 act as circulating hormones and are called endocrine FGFs. FGF19 and FGF21 regulate bile acid and energy homeostasis, respectively, whereas FGF23 regulates vitamin D and phosphate homeostasis. Accumulating evidence suggests that FGF23 plays a critical role in disturbed mineral metabolisms, left ventricular hypertrophy, immunosuppression, inflammation, among others in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), highlighting the potential both as a biomarker and a therapeutic target. Several studies have also examined the potential role of FGF19 and FGF21 in CKD patients. AREAS COVERED In this review, we present a brief overview of the biology of FGF19, FGF21, and FGF23, and summarize recent clinical and experimental studies on the pathophysiological roles of endocrine FGFs, mainly FGF23, in CKD patients. EXPERT OPINION Among the endocrine FGFs, FGF23 represents the most promising biomarker in CKD patients. If future studies confirm that FGF23 is directly toxic in CKD patients, FGF23 could be regarded as a therapeutic target and its measurement would be valuable if applied in clinical practice. Despite their potentially important roles, the clinical relevance of FGF19 and FGF21 in CKD patients is unclear, and much more studies are required.

Abstract
Little is known about changes in parathyroid cells when calcimimetics are withdrawn. We examined the response of parathyroid glands to cinacalcet (Cina) withdrawal in uremic Sprague-Dawley rats fed a high-phosphate diet to develop secondary hyperparathyroidism and divided into groups treated with vehicle (UC), Cina, and Cina and maxacalcitol (Maxa), a vitamin D receptor activator (CiNa + Maxa). After 2 wk of treatment, vehicle and Cina were withdrawn and Maxa was continued. Rats were analyzed immediately (day 0) and 7 days (day 7) after withdrawal. The Cina and CiNa + Maxa groups had significantly lower parathyroid hormone (PTH) than the UC group on day 0, although PTH in the Cina group reached UC levels on day 7. On day 0, there were significantly more proliferating cell nuclear antigen-positive cells in the UC group compared with normal controls, and this increase was significantly suppressed in the Cina and CiNa + Maxa groups. On day 7, the Cina group, but not the CiNa + Maxa group, showed a significant increase in proliferating cell nuclear antigen-positive cells compared with the UC group. This increase was related to parathyroid cell diameter regression to UC levels, whereas combination treatment maintained diameter suppression. These results indicate that parathyroid growth activity is stimulated by Cina withdrawal, although the PTH level was not further increased. Continuous administration of Cina may be required for optimal control of secondary hyperparathyroidism, and simultaneous use of a vitamin D receptor activator may be advisable during Cina withdrawal.

Abstract
Over the past 25 years, successive cloning of SLC34A1, SLC34A2 and SLC34A3, which encode the sodium-dependent inorganic phosphate (Pi) cotransport proteins 2a-2c, has facilitated the identification of molecular mechanisms that underlie the regulation of renal and intestinal Pi transport. Pi and various hormones, including parathyroid hormone and phosphatonins, such as fibroblast growth factor 23, regulate the activity of these Pi transporters through transcriptional, translational and post-translational mechanisms involving interactions with PDZ domain-containing proteins, lipid microdomains and acute trafficking of the transporters via endocytosis and exocytosis. In humans and rodents, mutations in any of the three transporters lead to dysregulation of epithelial Pi transport with effects on serum Pi levels and can cause cardiovascular and musculoskeletal damage, illustrating the importance of these transporters in the maintenance of local and systemic Pi homeostasis. Functional and structural studies have provided insights into the mechanism by which these proteins transport Pi, whereas in vivo and ex vivo cell culture studies have identified several small molecules that can modify their transport function. These small molecules represent potential new drugs to help maintain Pi homeostasis in patients with chronic kidney disease - a condition that is associated with hyperphosphataemia and severe cardiovascular and skeletal consequences.

Impact of altered dietary calcium-phosphorus ratio caused by high-phosphorus diets in a rat chronic kidney disease (CKD) model created by partial ligation of the renal arteries. J Toxicol Pathol 2020; 33:77-86.

Abstract
This study aimed to establish a rat chronic kidney disease (CKD) model by studying the effects of a high-phosphorus diet in rats that had undergone partial ligation of the renal arteries (RL). Separate groups of 10-week-old male Slc:Sprague-Dawley rats underwent RL and were fed diets with varying phosphorous levels for a period of 48 days. A marked suppression of body weight gain necessitating humane euthanization occurred on day 28 in rats that had undergone RL and were given high-phosphorus feed. By contrast, the group of intact animals on a high-phosphorus feed exhibited a slightly decreased body weight gain from day 21 and survived until scheduled euthanization. In rats with RL, hematological, blood biochemical, and histopathological analyses demonstrated the presence of CKD-like conditions, particularly in the group that were fed a high-phosphorus diet. Hyperphosphatemia and hypocalcemia were induced by a high-phosphorus diet in both the RL and intact groups, both of which had high levels of FGF23 and parathyroid hormone in the blood. Rats with RL on a high-phosphorus diet showed decreased hematopoiesis by the hematopoietic cell area being narrower in the medullary cavity, proliferation of mesenchymal cells and osteoblasts/osteoclasts, and expansion of the osteoid area, a furthermore generalized vascular lesions, such as calcification, were observed. These findings demonstrate that the partial ligation of the renal arteries combined with a calcium–phosphorus imbalance induced by a high-phosphorus diet serves as an animal model for CKD-like conditions accompanied by bone lesions, helping to elucidate this clinical condition and its underlying molecular mechanisms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The ratio of dietary carbohydrate to fat may affect phosphorus metabolism because both calcium and phosphorus are regulated by similar metabolic mechanisms, and a high-fat diet (HFD) induces deleterious effects on the absorption of dietary calcium. We hypothesized that an HFD induces an increase in phosphorus absorption. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of differences in the quantity and quality of dietary fat on phosphorus metabolism over the short- and long-term. METHODS Eighteen 8-wk-old Sprague-Dawley male rats were fed an isocaloric diet containing varied ratios of carbohydrates to fat energy and sources of fat (control diet, HFD, and high- saturated fat diet [HF-SFA]). At 3 d and 7 wk after the allocation and initiation of the test diets, feces and urine were collected and used for phosphorus and calcium measurement. RESULTS The fecal phosphorous concentration (F-Pi) was lower in the HF-SFA group than in the other two groups; however, the urine phosphorus concentration (U-Pi) was significantly higher in the HF-SFA group than the other two groups when the rats were fed over the short- (P < 0.01) and long -term (P < 0.01 versus control, P < 0.05 versus HFD group). There were no significant differences in type-IIa sodium-phosphate cotransporter (NaPi-2 a) and type-IIc sodium-phosphate cotransporter (NaPi-2 c) mRNA expression, which are renal phosphate transport-related genes; however, the expression of type-IIb sodium-phosphate cotransporter (NaPi-2 b) and type-III sodium-phosphate cotransporter (Pit-1) mRNA in the duodenum was higher in the HFD and HF-SFA groups than in the control group (P < 0.05), although there were no significant differences in these in the jejunum. CONCLUSIONS The present results indicated that an HFD, particularly HF-SFA, increases intestinal phosphate absorption compared with control.

Abstract
Elevated levels of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) and phosphate are highly associated with increased cardiovascular disease and mortality in patients suffering from chronic kidney disease (CKD). As the kidney function declines, serum phosphate levels rise and subsequently induce the secretion of the phosphaturic hormone FGF23. In early stages of CKD, FGF23 prevents the increase of serum phosphate levels and thereby attenuates phosphate-induced vascular calcification, whereas in end-stage kidney disease, FGF23 fails to maintain phosphate homeostasis. Both hyperphosphatemia and elevated FGF23 levels promote the development of hypertension, vascular calcification, and left ventricular hypertrophy by distinct mechanisms. Therefore, FGF23 and phosphate are considered promising therapeutic targets to improve the cardiovascular outcome in CKD patients. Previous therapeutic strategies are based on dietary and pharmacological reduction of serum phosphate, and consequently FGF23 levels. However, clinical trials proving the effects on the cardiovascular outcome are lacking. Recent publications provide evidence for new promising therapeutic interventions, such as magnesium supplementation and direct targeting of phosphate and FGF receptors to prevent toxicity of FGF23 and hyperphosphatemia in CKD patients.

Parathyroid Hormone Measurement in Chronic Kidney Disease: From Basics to Clinical Implications. Int J Nephrol 2019; 2019:5496710.

Abstract
Accurate measurement of parathyroid hormone (PTH) is crucial for therapeutic decision-making in patients with chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD). The second-generation PTH assays, often referred to as “intact PTH” assays, are the current standard and most available assays in clinical practice. However, intact PTH assays measure both full-length biologically active PTH and heterogeneous PTH fragments in the circulation, providing the equivocal value of PTH measurement in patients with CKD-MBD. Due to the variability of PTH assays, preanalytical sample errors, and the phenomenon of end-organ PTH hyporesponsiveness, current CKD-MBD guidelines recommend a wide range for serum PTH targets (2–9 the upper normal limit of the intact PTH assay) in dialysis patients to diminish the risk of developing adynamic bone disease. Nevertheless, a sizeable proportion of CKD patients still experience renal osteodystrophy despite having serum PTH levels within the recommended range. The primary cause of this inconsistency is the analytical interference of various PTH fragments and oxidized PTH forms that considerably accumulate in CKD patients. Therefore, a new mass spectrometry-based assay, which is capable of specifically measuring the whole spectra of PTH fragments, can potentially improve diagnostic accuracy for renal osteodystrophy. However, the effects of different PTH fragments on bone metabolism, vascular calcification, and mortality in CKD patients warrant further research.

Abstract
Parathyroidectomy (PTX) remains an important intervention for dialysis patients with poorly controlled secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT), though there are only retrospective and observational data that show a mortality benefit to this procedure. Potential consequences that we seek to avoid after PTX include persistent or recurrent hyperparathyroidism, and parathyroid insufficiency. There is considerable subjectivity in defining and diagnosing these conditions, given that we poorly understand the optimal PTH targets (particularly post PTX) needed to maintain bone and vascular health. While lowering PTH after PTX decreases bone turnover, long-term changes in bone activity have been poorly explored. High turnover bone disease, usually present at the time a PTX is considered, often swings to a state of low turnover in the setting of sufficiently low PTH levels. It remains unclear if all low bone turnover equate with disease. However, such changes in bone turnover appear to predispose to vascular calcification, with positive calcium balance after PTX being a potential contributor. We know little of how the post-PTX state resets calcium balance, how calcium and VDRA requirements change or what kind of adjustments are needed to avoid calcium loading. The current consensus cautions against excessive reduction of PTH although there is insufficient evidence-based guidance regarding the management of chronic kidney disease - mineral bone disease (CKD-MBD) parameters in the post-PTX state. This article aims to compile existing research, provide an overview of current practice with regard to PTX and post-PTX chronic management. It highlights gaps and controversies and aims to re-orient the focus to clinically relevant contemporary priorities in CKD-MBD management after PTX.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is mainly produced in the bone and, upon secretion, forms a complex with a FGF receptor and coreceptor αKlotho. FGF23 can exert several endocrine functions, such as inhibiting renal phosphate reabsorption and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 production. Moreover, it has paracrine activities on several cell types, including neutrophils and hepatocytes. Klotho and Fgf23 deficiencies result in pathologies otherwise encountered in age-associated diseases, mainly as a result of hyperphosphataemia-dependent calcification. FGF23 levels are also perturbed in the plasma of patients with several disorders, including kidney or cardiovascular diseases. Here, we review mechanisms controlling FGF23 production and discuss how FGF23 regulation is perturbed in disease.

Abstract
Renal osteodystrophy (ROD) occurs as early as chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 2 and seems ubiquitous in almost all pediatric patients with CKD stage 5. Fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-23, a bone-derived endocrine regulator of phosphate homeostasis, is overexpressed in CKD and disturbs osteoblast differentiation and matrix mineralization. In contrast, C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) acts as a potent positive regulator of bone growth. In the present study, we infused CNP into uremic rats and observed whether CNP could attenuate ROD through the inhibition of FGF-23 cascades. In uremic rats, CNP administration significantly alleviated renal dysfunction, calcium phosphate metabolic disorders, hypovitaminosis D, secondary hyperparathyroidism, the decrease in bone turnover markers and retarded bone pathological progression. More importantly, within FGF-23/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling, the fibroblast growth factor receptor-1, Klotho and alternative (STAT-1/phospho-STAT-1) elements were upregulated by CNP, whereas FGF-23, RAF-1/phospho-RAF-1, and downstream (ERK/phospho-ERK and P38/phospho-P38) elements were paradoxically underexpressed in bone tissue. Therefore, CNP exerts a therapeutic effect on ROD through inhibition of FGF-23/MAPK signaling at the RAF-1 level.

Abstract
Renal osteodystrophy (ROD) represents bone disorders related to chronic kidney disease (CKD) and several bone biomarkers are used clinically to predict ROD in CKD and hemodialysis (HD) patients. Serum albumin associates with inflammation other than nutritional status in these patients. Chronic inflammation is proved to relate with bone loss, however, the influence of hypoalbuminemia on bone biomarkers is still unclear. In this study, we evaluated the pattern of bone biomarker changes and further studied the influence of hypoalbuminemia on these biomarkers. A total of 300 maintenance HD patients were evaluated and 223 HD patients were included in the study. The patients were grouped according to serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels (PTH ≤150 pg/mL, PTH 150-300 pg/mL, PTH 300-600 pg/mL and PTH >600 pg/mL). Bone biomarkers and inflammatory markers were measured and their relation with PTH levels was determined. Significantly increased interleukin-6 (IL-6) and lower albumin levels were noted among PTH>600 pg/mL group. Bone turnover markers were significantly higher in PTH >600 pg/mL group (p< 0.05). Hypoalbuminemia significantly increased the fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) and procollagen type 1N-terminal propeptide (P1NP) in PTH ≤150 pg/mL, PTH 150-300 pg/mL, PTH 300-600 pg/mL groups, whereas no such relation was noted among PTH> 600 ng/dL group. In conclusion, hypoalbuminemia represents a chronic inflammation which differently relates to bone turnover markers according to serum PTH levels in SHPT patients. Thus, serum albumin measurement should be considered in determining bone disorders among these patients.

Abstract
The classic pathogenesis of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) began with the trade-off hypothesis based on parathyroid hormone hypersecretion brought about by renal failure resulting from a physiological response to correct metabolic disorder of calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D. In dialysis patients with failed renal function, physiological mineral balance control by parathyroid hormone through the kidney fails and hyperparathyroidism progresses. In this process, many significant genetic findings have been established. Abnormalities of Ca-sensing receptor and vitamin D receptor are associated with the pathogenesis of SHPT, and fibroblast growth factor 23 has also been shown to be involved in the pathogenesis. Vitamin D receptor activators (VDRAs) are widely used for treatment of SHPT. However, VDRAs have calcemic and phosphatemic effects that limit their use to a subset of patients, and calcimimetics have been developed as alternative drugs for SHPT. Hyperphosphatemia also affects progression of SHPT, and control of hyperphosphatemia is, therefore, thought to be fundamental for control of SHPT. Currently, a combination of a VDRA and a calcimimetic is recognized as the optimal strategy for SHPT, and for other outcomes such as reduced cardiovascular disease and improved survival. The latest findings on the pathogenesis and treatment of SHPT are summarized in this review.

Abstract
Context The antiaging protein Klotho is shed and released into the blood stream (soluble Klotho). Growth hormone (GH) is considered an active Klotho regulator, because growth retardation is described in Klotho-deficient mice. The origin of circulating Klotho is, however, not fully understood. Objectives Our objective was to analyze a possible role of the pituitary in regulating soluble Klotho in patients with pituitary adenomas. Patients, Design, and Setting We analyzed serum levels of soluble Klotho, GH, and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) from 21 consecutive patients in our center with pituitary tumor, 7 with GH-producing adenomas (GHomas), and 14 with non–GH-producing pituitary adenomas (non-GHomas), before and after endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery (eTSS). Main Outcome Measure Soluble Klotho levels were determined by ELISA with antihuman Klotho antibodies. Results Baseline soluble Klotho levels in all patients, those with GHoma and those with non-GHoma, were 542 (median) (interquartile range: 403, 652), 1083 (425, 1213), and 525 (399, 590), respectively. A drastic reduction in Klotho levels was identified in those with GHoma, accompanied by decreases in GH and IGF-1 levels, after eTSS. Interestingly, patients with non-GHoma had significant declines in soluble Klotho without any significant changes in GH levels. Moreover, an oral glucose tolerance test revealed that soluble Klotho levels decreased, whereas a paradoxical GH peak was observed after glucose intake in a patient with GHoma. Conclusions Our data suggest that the pituitary may be a key organ that regulates circulating Klotho concentrations, implying that the pituitary possibly controls circulating Klotho through GH-dependent and/or GH-independent mechanisms.

Correlation between Soluble α-Klotho and Renal Function in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease: A Review and Meta-Analysis. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2018; 2018:9481475.

Abstract
Objective Over decades, numerous inconsistent studies are reported on the relationship between soluble α-Klotho and renal function in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study aims to perform a meta-analysis to figure out the correlations between soluble α-Klotho and renal function in patients with CKD. Materials and Methods We searched medical and scientific literature databases, PubMed and EMBASE (from the inception to October 2017), for publications that reported studies on associations between soluble α-Klotho and renal function in patients with CKD. Only publications in English were extracted. Summary correlation coefficient (r) values were extracted from each study, and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. Publication bias was tested, and sensitivity and subgroup analyses were performed to investigate potential heterogeneity. Results Of 611 studies, 9 publications with 1457 patients were included into the analysis. The following data were extracted from the literature: first author, year of publication, research region, research index, sample size, average age and Pearson or Spearman correlation coefficient, study design, the αKlotho/FGF23 assays utilized, full length, or the C-terminal fragment of FGF23. The pooled r between α-Klotho and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), FGF-23 were 0.35 (95%CI, 0.23~0.46, and P<0.05), -0.10 (95%CI, -0.19~-0.01, and P<0.05) with remarkable significance, indicating moderate heterogeneity. There was no significant heterogeneity between subgroups in analyses of α-Klotho and eGFR stratified by research region, mean age, and eGFR, but heterogeneity exists in analyses of α-Klotho and FGF-23 stratified by research region. There was no significant correlation between a-klotho and Ca and PTH and PHOS. There was no evidence of publication bias with Egger's test (p=0.360) or with Begg's test (p=0.902) and the distribution of funnel plots was symmetrical in all of our analysis. Conclusions There exists a significant positive correlation between soluble α-Klotho and eGFR in patients with CKD. Also, a significant negative correlation between α-Klotho and FGF23 levels is proven. This raises hope to employ αKlotho and FGF23 as early biomarkers of CKD. However, further large prospective follow-up researches are needed to validate this hypothesis and to explore whether maintaining or elevating the Klotho level could improve renal function and complications in CKD patients.

Abstract
Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β signaling is not only important in skeletal development, but also essential in bone remodeling in adult bone. The bone remodeling process involves integrated cell activities induced by multiple stimuli to balance bone resorption and bone formation. TGF-β plays a role in bone remodeling by coordinating cell activities to maintain bone homeostasis. However, mineral metabolism disturbance in chronic kidney disease (CKD) results in abnormal bone remodeling, which leads to ectopic calcification in CKD. High circulating levels of humoral factors such as parathyroid hormone, fibroblast growth factor 23, and Wnt inhibitors modulate bone remodeling in CKD. Several reports have revealed that TGF-β is involved in the production and functions of these factors in bone. TGF-β may act as a factor that mediates abnormal bone remodeling in CKD.

Abstract
Alkaline phosphatases (APs) remove the phosphate (dephosphorylation) needed in multiple metabolic processes (from many molecules such as proteins, nucleotides, or pyrophosphate). Therefore, APs are important for bone mineralization but paradoxically they can also be deleterious for other processes, such as vascular calcification and the increasingly known cross-talk between bone and vessels. A proper balance between beneficial and harmful activities is further complicated in the context of chronic kidney disease (CKD). In this narrative review, we will briefly update the complexity of the enzyme, including its different isoforms such as the bone-specific alkaline phosphatase or the most recently discovered B1x. We will also analyze the correlations and potential discrepancies with parathyroid hormone and bone turnover and, most importantly, the valuable recent associations of AP's with cardiovascular disease and/or vascular calcification, and survival. Finally, a basic knowledge of the synthetic and degradation pathways of APs promises to open new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of the CKD-Mineral and Bone Disorder (CKD-MBD) in the near future, as well as for other processes such as sepsis, acute kidney injury, inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, metabolic syndrome or, in diabetes, cardiovascular complications. However, no studies have been done using APs as a primary therapeutic target for clinical outcomes, and therefore, AP's levels cannot yet be used alone as an isolated primary target in the treatment of CKD-MBD. Nonetheless, its diagnostic and prognostic potential should be underlined.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is often associated with a mineral and bone disorder globally described as CKD-Mineral and Bone Disease (MBD), including renal osteodystrophy, the latter ranging from high bone turnover, as in case of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT), to low bone turnover. The present article summarizes the important subjects that were covered during ‘The Parathyroid Day in Chronic Kidney Disease’ CME course organized in Paris in September 2017. It includes the latest insights on parathyroid gland growth, parathyroid hormone (PTH) synthesis, secretion and regulation by the calcium-sensing receptor, vitamin D receptor and fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23)–Klotho axis, as well as on parathyroid glands imaging. The skeletal action of PTH in early CKD stages to the steadily increasing activation of the often downregulated PTH receptor type 1 has been critically reviewed, emphasizing that therapeutic strategies to decrease PTH levels at these stages might not be recommended. The effects of PTH on the central nervous system, in particular cognitive functions, and on the cardiovascular system are revised, and the reliability and exchangeability of second- and third-generation PTH immunoassays discussed. The article also reviews the different circulating biomarkers used for the diagnosis and monitoring of CKD-MBD, including PTH and alkaline phosphatases isoforms. Moreover, it presents an update on the control of SHPT by vitamin D compounds, old and new calcimimetics, and parathyroidectomy. Finally, it covers the latest insights on the persistence and de novo occurrence of SHPT in renal transplant recipients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Prevalence of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and its rate of progression are higher in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) compared with the general population. Mineral metabolism parameters have been shown to be involved in the increased velocity of atheromatosis progression. The aim of this study is to determine the role of 11 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the Klotho gene on the rate of atherosclerosis progression in CKD.
Methods
This was a multicentre, prospective, observational study of 1439 CKD patients from the NEFRONA cohort. Carotid and femoral ultrasounds were performed at baseline and after 24 months in 10 arterial territories. Progression of atheromatosis was defined as an increase in the number of territories with plaque. Genotyping of 11 SNPs of the Klotho gene was performed and its association with atheromatosis progression was determined by multivariate logistic regression.
Results
Bivariate analysis showed that none of the 11 SNPs was associated with atheroma plaque prevalence, but 3 of them (rs495392, rs562020 and rs567170) showed association with atheromatosis progression. The multivariate analysis revealed that only rs495392 showed a statistically significant association with atheromatosis progression, after adjustment for several parameters known to affect it in CKD patients. Thus, the presence of one allele T was associated with a reduction of 30% of the odds of progression, whereas the presence of the two T alleles was associated with a decrease close to 50%.
Conclusions
The presence of the allele T of the SNP rs495392 of the Klotho gene is associated with a decrease in the odds of progression of atheromatosis in CKD patients.

Abstract
Severe anemia and iron deficiency are common complications in chronic kidney disease. The cause of renal anemia is multifactorial and includes decreased erythropoietin (Epo) production, iron deficiency, and inflammation, and it is currently treated with injections of synthetic Epo. However, the use of recombinant Epo has several adverse effects. We previously reported that high fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) levels in mice are associated with decreased red blood cell production, whereas genetic inactivation of Fgf23 results in expansion of the erythroid lineage. The present study is the first to show that high FGF23 levels in a mouse model of renal failure contribute to renal anemia, and inhibiting FGF23 signaling stimulates erythropoiesis and abolishes anemia and iron deficiency. Moreover, we show that inhibition of FGF23 signaling significantly decreases erythroid cell apoptosis and influences the commitment of hematopoietic stem cells toward the erythroid linage. Furthermore, we show that blocking FGF23 signaling attenuates inflammation, resulting in increased serum iron and ferritin levels. Our data clearly demonstrate that elevated FGF23 is a causative factor in the development of renal anemia and iron deficiency, and importantly, blocking FGF23 signaling represents a novel approach to stimulate erythropoiesis and possibly improve survival for millions of chronic kidney disease patients worldwide.-Agoro, R., Montagna, A., Goetz, R., Aligbe, O., Singh, G., Coe, L.
