[PMID: 39040677 PMCID: PMC11260607 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2024.1406442] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2024] [Accepted: 06/13/2024] [Indexed: 07/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Diabetes ranks among the most widespread diseases globally, with the kidneys being particularly susceptible to its vascular complications. The identification of proteins for pathogenesis and novel drug targets remains imperative. This study aims to investigate roles of circulating inflammatory proteins in diabetic renal complications. Methods Data on the proteins were derived from a genome-wide protein quantitative trait locus (pQTL) study, while data on diabetic renal complications came from the FinnGen study. In this study, proteome-wide Mendelian randomization (MR) and colocalization analyses were used to assess the relationship between circulating inflammatory proteins and diabetic renal complications. Results MR approach indicated that elevated levels of interleukin 12B (IL-12B) (OR 1.691, 95%CI 1.179-2.427, P=4.34×10-3) and LIF interleukin 6 family cytokine (LIF) (OR 1.349, 95%CI 1.010-1.801, P=4.23×10-2) increased the risk of type 1 diabetes (T1D) with renal complications, while higher levels of fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19) (OR 1.202, 95%CI 1.009-1.432, P=3.93×10-2), fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) (OR 1.379, 95%CI 1.035-1.837, P=2.82×10-2), C-C motif chemokine ligand 7 (CCL7) (OR 1.385, 95%CI 1.111-1.725, P=3.76×10-3), and TNF superfamily member 14 (TNFSF14) (OR 1.244, 95%CI 1.066-1.451, P=5.63×10-3) indicated potential risk factors for type 2 diabetes (T2D) with renal complications. Colocalization analysis supported these findings, revealing that most identified proteins, except for DNER, likely share causal variants with diabetic renal complications. Conclusion Our study established associations between specific circulating inflammatory proteins and the risk of diabetic renal complications, suggesting these proteins as targets for further investigation into the pathogenesis and potential therapeutic interventions for T1D and T2D with renal complications.

ERRγ-inducible FGF23 promotes alcoholic liver injury through enhancing CYP2E1 mediated hepatic oxidative stress. Redox Biol 2024; 71:103107. [PMID: 38479224 PMCID: PMC10950689 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2024.103107] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2024] [Revised: 02/21/2024] [Accepted: 02/26/2024] [Indexed: 03/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a member of endocrine FGF family, along with FGF15/19 and FGF21. Recent reports showed that under pathological conditions, liver produces FGF23, although the role of hepatic FGF23 remains nebulous. Here, we investigated the role of hepatic FGF23 in alcoholic liver disease (ALD) and delineated the underlying molecular mechanism. FGF23 expression was compared in livers from alcoholic hepatitis patients and healthy controls. The role of FGF23 was examined in hepatocyte-specific knock-out (LKO) mice of cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1R), estrogen related receptor γ (ERRγ), or FGF23. Animals were fed with an alcohol-containing liquid diet alone or in combination with ERRγ inverse agonist. FGF23 is mainly expressed in hepatocytes in the human liver, and it is upregulated in ALD patients. In mice, chronic alcohol feeding leads to liver damage and induced FGF23 in liver, but not in other organs. FGF23 is transcriptionally regulated by ERRγ in response to alcohol-mediated activation of the CB1R. Alcohol induced upregulation of hepatic FGF23 and plasma FGF23 levels is lost in ERRγ-LKO mice, and an inverse agonist mediated inhibition of ERRγ transactivation significantly improved alcoholic liver damage. Moreover, hepatic CYP2E1 induction in response to alcohol is FGF23 dependent. In line, FGF23-LKO mice display decreased hepatic CYP2E1 expression and improved ALD through reduced hepatocyte apoptosis and oxidative stress. We recognized CBIR-ERRγ-FGF23 axis in facilitating ALD pathology through hepatic CYP2E1 induction. Thus, we propose FGF23 as a potential therapeutic target to treat ALD.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a critical health problem, with 700 million diagnoses expected worldwide by 2045. Uncontrolled high blood glucose levels can lead to serious complications, including diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). Diabetes induces cardiovascular aging and inflammation, increasing cardiomyopathy risk. DCM is characterized by structural and functional abnormalities in the heart. Growing evidence suggests that cellular senescence and macrophage-mediated inflammation participate in the pathogenesis and progression of DCM. Evidence indicates that growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15), a protein that belongs to the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) superfamily, is associated with age-related diseases and exerts an anti-inflammatory role in various disease models. Although further evidence suggests that GDF-15 can preserve Klotho, a transmembrane antiaging protein, emerging research has elucidated the potential involvement of GDF-15 and Klotho in the interplay between macrophages-induced inflammation and cellular senescence in the context of DCM. This review explores the intricate relationship between senescence and macrophages in DCM while highlighting the possible contributions of GDF-15 and Klotho.

Abstract
Background Chronic kidney disease mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD) is a condition characterized by alterations of calcium, phosphate, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) metabolism that in turn promote bone disorders, vascular calcifications, and increase cardiovascular (CV) risk. Nephrologists' awareness of diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic tools to manage CKD-MBD plays a primary role in adequately preventing and managing this condition in clinical practice. Methods A national survey (composed of 15 closed questions) was launched to inquire about the use of bone biomarkers in the management of CKD-MBD patients by nephrologists and to gain knowledge about the implementation of guideline recommendations in clinical practice. Results One hundred and six Italian nephrologists participated in the survey for an overall response rate of about 10%. Nephrologists indicated that the laboratories of their hospitals were able to satisfy request of ionized calcium levels, 105 (99.1%) of both PTH and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), 100 (94.3%) of 25(OH)D, and 61 (57.5%) of 1.25(OH)2D; while most laboratories did not support the requests of biomarkers such as FGF-23 (intact: 88.7% and c-terminal: 93.4%), Klotho (95.3%; soluble form: 97.2%), tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRAP-5b) (92.5%), C-terminal telopeptide (CTX) (71.7%), and pro-collagen type 1 N-terminal pro-peptide (P1NP) (88.7%). As interesting data regarding Italian nephrologists' behavior to start treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism (sHPT), the majority of clinicians used KDOQI guidelines (n = 55, 51.9%). In contrast, only 40 nephrologists (37.7%) relied on KDIGO guidelines, which recommended referring to values of PTH between two and nine times the upper limit of the normal range. Conclusion Results point out a marked heterogeneity in the management of CKD-MBD by clinicians as well as a suboptimal implementation of guidelines in Italian clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between dietary carbohydrate intake and serum Klotho levels, an aging biomarker, remains uncertain. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the association between dietary carbohydrate intake and serum Klotho levels among American adults aged 40-79. METHODS We analyzed data from 10,669 adults aged 40-79 years who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2007 to 2016. Trained interviewers assessed dietary carbohydrate intake using a 24 h dietary recall. Serum Klotho concentrations were measured using commercially available ELISA kits provided by IBL International, Japan, which served as the study outcome. Generalized linear models were used to assess the relationship between the carbohydrate energy percentage and serum Klotho concentration, and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis was employed to explore any nonlinear associations. RESULTS After adjusting for multiple variables, we observed a nonlinear inverse J-shaped relationship (p for non-linearity < 0.001) between the carbohydrate energy percentage and serum Klotho levels. Specifically, the highest serum Klotho levels were associated with a total carbohydrate energy percentage ranging from 48.92% to 56.20% (third quartile). When the carbohydrate energy percentage was evaluated in quartiles, serum Klotho levels decreased by 5.37% (95% CI: -7.43%, -3.26%), 2.70% (95% CI: -4.51%, -0.86%), and 2.76% (95% CI: -4.86%, -0.62%) in the first quartile (<41.46%), second quartile (41.46% to 48.92%), and fourth quartile (≥56.20%), respectively, compared to the third quartile. This relationship was more pronounced in male, non-obese and non-diabetic participants under 60 years of age. CONCLUSION A non-linear inverse J-shaped relationship exists among the general U.S. middle-aged and older population between the carbohydrate energy percentage and serum Klotho levels, with the highest levels observed at 48.92% to 56.20% carbohydrate intake.

Abstract
We aimed to investigate the mechanisms of Brahma related gene 1 (BRG1) in promoting vascular calcification in chronic kidney disease (CKD). The expression of BRG1 was examined in high phosphorus stimulated rat aortic smooth muscle cells (RASMCs) and calcified artery tissues from rat models and hemodialysis patients. Autophagosome formation was measured in high phosphorus stimulated RASMCs with and without BRG1 knock-down. We also detected the coexistence of BGR1 and exosomes, and measured the circulatory levels of BRG1 in the hemodialysis patients. BRG1 promoted the osteogenic transdifferentiation of RASMCs. Silencing BRG1 prevented autophagy from being induced by high phosphorus stimulation in RASMCs. Increased expression of BRG1 was observed in calcified blood vessels. Serum BRG1 level increased in the hemodialysis patients. BRG1 was involved in the development of high phosphorus induced osteogenic phenotype in vitro and in vivo, and its underlying mechanism might be facilitating autophagy.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a highly prevalent condition worldwide in which the kidneys lose many abilities, such as the regulation of vitamin D (VD) metabolism. Moreover, people with CKD are at a higher risk of multifactorial VD deficiency, which has been extensively associated with poor outcomes, including bone disease, cardiovascular disease, and higher mortality. Evidence is abundant in terms of the association of negative outcomes with low levels of VD, but recent studies have lowered previous high expectations regarding the beneficial effects of VD supplementation in the general population. Although controversies still exist, the diagnosis and treatment of VD have not been excluded from nephrology guidelines, and much data still supports VD supplementation in CKD patients. In this narrative review, we briefly summarize evolving controversies and useful clinical approaches, underscoring that the adverse effects of VD derivatives must be balanced against the need for effective prevention of progressive and severe secondary hyperparathyroidism. Guidelines vary, but there seems to be general agreement that VD deficiency should be avoided in CKD patients, and it is likely that one should not wait until severe SHPT is present before cautiously starting VD derivatives. Furthermore, it is emphasized that the goal should not be the complete normalization of parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels. New developments may help us to better define optimal VD and PTH at different CKD stages, but large trials are still needed to confirm that VD and precise control of these and other CKD-MBD biomarkers are unequivocally related to improved hard outcomes in this population.

Abstract
Objective Polycystic ovary syndrome is one of the most common endocrine disorders among women of childbearing age. The relationship between polycystic ovary syndrome and chronic kidney disease remains unclear and controversial. In this study, we investigated the causal role of polycystic ovary syndrome in the development of chronic kidney disease using the two-sample Mendelian randomization method. Methods Public shared summary-level data was acquired from European-ancestry genome wide association studies. We finally obtained 12 single nucleotide polymorphisms as instrumental variables, which were associated with polycystic ovary syndrome in European at genome-wide significance (P < 5 × 10-8). Inverse-variance weighted method was employed in the Mendelian randomization analysis and multiple sensitivity analyses were implemented. Outcome data were obtained from the Open GWAS database. Results A positive causal association was observed between polycystic ovary syndrome and chronic kidney disease (odds ratio [OR]=1.180, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.038-1.342; P=0.010). Further analyses clarified that causal relationship exist between polycystic ovary syndrome and some serological indicators of chronic kidney disease (fibroblast growth factor 23: OR= 1.205, 95% CI: 1.031-1.409, P=0.019; creatinine: OR= 1.012, 95% CI: 1.001-1.023, P=0.035; cystatin C: OR= 1.024, 95% CI: 1.006-1.042, P=0.009). However, there was no causal association of polycystic ovary syndrome with other factors in the data sources we employed. Conclusions Our results indicate an important role of polycystic ovary syndrome in the development of chronic kidney disease. This study suggests that regular follow-up of renal function in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome is necessary for the early treatment of chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
With the development of nanotechnology, nanoparticles have been used in various industries. In medicine, nanoparticles have been used in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. The kidney is an important organ for waste excretion and maintaining the balance of the internal environment; it filters various metabolic wastes. Kidney dysfunction may result in the accumulation of excess water and various toxins in the body without being discharged, leading to complications and life-threatening conditions. Based on their physical and chemical properties, nanoparticles can enter cells and cross biological barriers to reach the kidneys and therefore, can be used in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD). In the first search, we used the English terms "Renal Insufficiency, Chronic" [Mesh] as the subject word and terms such as "Chronic Renal Insufficiencies," "Chronic Renal Insufficiency," "Chronic Kidney Diseases," "Kidney Disease, Chronic," "Renal Disease, Chronic" as free words. In the second search, we used "Nanoparticles" [Mesh] as the subject word and "Nanocrystalline Materials," "Materials, Nanocrystalline," "Nanocrystals," and others as free words. The relevant literature was searched and read. Moreover, we analyzed and summarized the application and mechanism of nanoparticles in the diagnosis of CKD, application of nanoparticles in the diagnosis and treatment of renal fibrosis and vascular calcification (VC), and their clinical application in patients undergoing dialysis. Specifically, we found that nanoparticles can detect CKD in the early stages in a variety of ways, such as via breath sensors that detect gases and biosensors that detect urine and can be used as a contrast agent to avoid kidney damage. In addition, nanoparticles can be used to treat and reverse renal fibrosis, as well as detect and treat VC in patients with early CKD. Simultaneously, nanoparticles can improve safety and convenience for patients undergoing dialysis. Finally, we summarize the current advantages and limitations of nanoparticles applied to CKD as well as their future prospects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) shows a wide range of renal abnormalities including the excretory, metabolic, endocrine, and homeostatic function of the kidney. The prognostic impact of the 'endocrine manifestations' which are often overlooked by clinicians cannot be overstated. METHODS AND OBJECTIVES A systematic review was attempted to provide a comprehensive overview of all endocrine abnormalities of CKD and their evolving principles of management, searching databases of PubMed, Embase, and Scopus and covering the literature between 2002 and 2022. RESULTS The endocrine derangements in CKD can be attributed to a myriad of pathologic processes, in particular decreased clearance, impaired endogenous hormone production, uremia-induced cellular dysfunction, and activation of systemic inflammatory pathways. The major disorders include anemia, hyperprolactinemia, insulin resistance, reproductive hormone deficiency, thyroid hormone deficiency, and serum FGF (Fibroblast Growth Factor) alteration. Long-term effects of CKD also include malnutrition and increased cardiovascular risk. The recent times have unveiled their detailed pathogenesis and have seen an evolution in the principles of management which necessitates a revision of current guidelines. CONCLUSION Increased advertence regarding the pathology, impact, and management of these endocrine derangements can help in reducing morbidity as well as mortality in the CKD patients by allowing prompt individualized treatment. Moreover, with timely and appropriate intervention, a long-term reduction in complications, as well as an enhanced quality of life, can be achieved in patients with CKD.

Association between amorphous calcium-phosphate ratios in circulating calciprotein particles and prognostic biomarkers in hemodialysis patients. Sci Rep 2022; 12:13030. [PMID: 35906396 PMCID: PMC9338083 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-17405-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2022] [Accepted: 07/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
Calciprotein particles (CPPs) are circulating colloidal mineral-protein complexes containing crystalline and/or non-crystalline (amorphous) calcium-phosphate (CaPi). Serum CPP levels correlate with vascular stiffness and calcification in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). In vitro studies showed that CPPs containing crystalline CaPi were more arteriosclerogenic and inflammogenic than CPPs without containing crystalline CaPi. Thus, we hypothesized that not only the quantity but also the quality of CPPs (the phase of CaPi) might affect clinical outcomes. To test this hypothesis, we quantified amorphous CaPi ratio defined as the ratio of the amorphous CaPi amount to the total CaPi amount in serum CPPs from 183 hemodialysis patients and explored its possible correlation with serum parameters associated with prognosis of hemodialysis patients. Multivariate analysis revealed that the amorphous CaPi ratio correlated positively with hemoglobin and negatively with fibroblast growth factor-21 (FGF21), which remained significant after adjusting for the total CaPi amount. Because low hemoglobin and high FGF21 are associated with increased mortality, the present study warrants further studies to determine whether low amorphous CaPi ratio in circulating CPPs may be associated with poor prognosis in hemodialysis patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biomarkers of the CKD- Bone Mineral Disorder (CKD-BMD have been implicated in CKD progression in follow up studies focusing on single measurements of individual biomarkers made at baseline only. The simultaneous relationship between the time trend of these biomarkers over the course of CKD and renal outcomes has never been tested. METHODS We applied the Joint Model (JM) to investigate the longitudinal relationship between repeated measurements of CKD-MBD biomarkers and a combined renal endpoint (eGFR reduction >30%, dialysis or transplantation) in 729 stage 2-5 CKD patients over a 36 months follow up. RESULTS In the survival sub-model of the JM the longitudinal series of PTH values was directly and independently related to the risk of renal events [HR (1ln PTH) = 2.0 (from 1.5 to 2.8), p<0.001)] and this was also true for repeated measurements of serum phosphate [HR(1mg/dl) = 1.3924 (from 1.1459 to 1.6918), p = 0.001], serum calcium [HR(1mg/dl) = 0.7487 (from 0.5843 to 0.9593), p = 0.022], baseline FGF23 [HR(1pg/ml) = 1.001 (from 1.00 to 1.002), p = 0.045] and 1,25 dihydroxy Vitamin D [HR (1pg/ml) = 0.9796 (from 0.9652 to 0.9942), p = 0.006]. CONCLUSION Repeated measurements of serum PTH, calcium and phosphate as well as baseline FGF23 and 1,25 dihydroxy vitamin D are independently related with the progression to kidney failure in a cohort of stage 2-5 CKD patients. This longitudinal study generates the hypothesis that interventions at multiple levels on BMD biomarkers can mitigate renal function loss in this population.

Impact of etelcalcetide on fibroblast growth factor-23 and calciprotein particles in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism undergoing hemodialysis. Nephrology (Carlton) 2022; 27:763-770.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, we demonstrated the efficacy of etelcalcetide in the control of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT). This post hoc analysis aimed to evaluate changes in fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) and calciprotein particles (CPPs) after treatment with calcimimetics. METHODS The DUET trial was a 12-week multicenter, open-label, parallel-group, randomized (1:1:1) study with patients treated with etelcalcetide plus active vitamin D (E+D group; n = 41), etelcalcetide plus oral calcium (E+Ca group; n = 41), or control (C group; n = 42) under maintenance hemodialysis. Serum levels of FGF23 and CPPs were measured at baseline, and 6 and 12 weeks after the start. RESULTS In the linear mixed model, serum levels of FGF23 in etelcalcetide users were significantly lower than those in non-users at week 6 (p < 0.001) and week 12 (p < 0.001). When compared the difference between the E+Ca group and the E+D group, serum levels of FGF23 in the E+Ca group were significantly lower than those in the E+D group at week 12 (p = 0.017). There were no significant differences in the serum levels of CPPs between etelcalcetide users and non-users at week 6 (p = 0.10) and week 12 (p = 0.18), while CPPs in the E+Ca group were significantly lower than those in the E+D group (p < 0.001) at week 12. CONCLUSION Etelcalcetide may be useful through suppression of FGF23 levels among hemodialysis patients with SHPT. When correcting hypocalcemia, loading oral calcium preparations could be more advantageous than active vitamin D for the suppression of both FGF23 and CPPs.

Abstract
In comparison to the regulation of calcium homeostasis, which has been widely studied over the last several decades, phosphate homeostasis is little understood. The parathyroid hormone (PTH)/vitamin D axis has traditionally been used as a conceptual framework for understanding mineral metabolism. Recently, the fundamental regulator of phosphate homeostasis, fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), which is produced by osteocytes and is involved in the hormonal bone-parathyroid-kidney axis, has attracted more attention. The secretion of FGF23 is controlled by diet, serum phosphate levels, PTH, and 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D. FGF-23, the FGF receptors and the obligate co-receptor α-Klotho work in concert to affect FGF-23 actions on targeted organs. Despite all efforts to investigate pleotropic effects of FGF23 in various endocrine organs, many aspects of the regulation and functions of FGF23 and the exact crosstalk among FGF23, serum phosphate, calcium, PTH, and vitamin D in the regulation of mineral homeostasis remain unclear; much efforts need to be established before it can be moved toward therapeutic applications. In this regard, we provide a brief overview of the novel findings in the regulation and function of FGF23 and refer to related questions and hypotheses not answered yet, which can be a window for future projects. We also focus on the current knowledge about the role of FGF23 obtained from our researches in recent years.

Abstract
Fibrosis is a common pathological outcome of chronic injuries, characterized by excessive deposition of extracellular matrix components in organs, as seen in most chronic inflammatory diseases. At present, there is an increasing tendency of the morbidity and mortality of diseases caused by fibrosis, but the treatment measures for fibrosis are still limited. Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) belongs to the FGF19 subfamily, which also has the name endocrine FGFs because of their endocrine manner. In recent years, it has been found that plasma FGF21 level is significantly correlated with fibrosis progression. Furthermore, there is evidence that FGF21 has a pronounced antifibrotic effect in a variety of fibrotic diseases. This review summarizes the biological effects of FGF21 and discusses what is currently known about this factor and fibrosis disease, highlighting emerging insights that warrant further research.

Abstract
Abstract
The endocrine subfamily of fibroblast growth factors (FGF) includes three factors: FGF19, FGF21, FGF23. They act on distal tissues through FGF receptors (FGFRs). The FGFR activation requires two cofactors: α- and β-Klotho, which are structurally related single-pass transmembrane proteins. The endocrine FGFs regulate various metabolic processes involved in the regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism as well as bile acid circulation, vitamin D modulation, and phosphate homeostasis. The FGF-FGFR dysregulation is widely implicated in the pathogenesis of various disorders. Significant alterations in plasma FGF concentration are associated with the most prevalent chronic diseases, including dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, diseases of the biliary tract, chronic kidney disease, inflammatory bowel disease, osteomalacia, various malignancies, and depression. Therefore, the endocrine FGFs may serve as disease predictors or biomarkers, as well as potential therapeutic targets. Currently, numerous analogues and inhibitors of endocrine FGFs are under development for treatment of various disorders, and recently, a human monoclonal antibody against FGF23 has been approved for treatment of X-linked hypophosphatemia. The aim of this review is to summarize the current data on physiological and pathophysiological actions of the endocrine FGF subfamily and recent research concerning the therapeutic potential of the endocrine FGF pathways.

Abstract
BACKGROUND α-Klotho is a geroprotective protein that can attenuate or alleviate deleterious changes with ageing and disease. Declines in α-Klotho play a role in the pathophysiology of multiple diseases and age-related phenotypes. Pre-clinical evidence suggests that boosting α-Klotho holds therapeutic potential. However, readily clinically-translatable, practical strategies for increasing α-Klotho are not at hand. Here, we report that orally-active, clinically-translatable senolytics can increase α-Klotho in mice and humans. METHODS We examined α-Klotho expression in three different human primary cell types co-cultured with conditioned medium (CM) from senescent or non-senescent cells with or without neutralizing antibodies. We assessed α-Klotho expression in aged, obese, and senescent cell-transplanted mice treated with vehicle or senolytics. We assayed urinary α-Klotho in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) who were treated with the senolytic drug combination, Dasatinib plus Quercetin (D+Q). FINDINGS We found exposure to the senescent cell secretome reduces α-Klotho in multiple nonsenescent human cell types. This was partially prevented by neutralizing antibodies against the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) factors, activin A and Interleukin 1α (IL-1α). Consistent with senescent cells' being a cause of decreased α-Klotho, transplanting senescent cells into younger mice reduced brain and urine α-Klotho. Selectively removing senescent cells genetically or pharmacologically increased α-Klotho in urine, kidney, and brain of mice with increased senescent cell burden, including naturally-aged, diet-induced obese (DIO), or senescent cell-transplanted mice. D+Q increased α-Klotho in urine of patients with IPF, a disease linked to cellular senescence. INTERPRETATION Senescent cells cause reduced α-Klotho, partially due to their production of activin A and IL-1α. Targeting senescent cells boosts α-Klotho in mice and humans. Thus, clearing senescent cells restores α-Klotho, potentially opening a novel, translationally-feasible avenue for developing orally-active small molecule, α-Klotho-enhancing clinical interventions. Furthermore, urinary α-Klotho may prove to be a useful test for following treatments in senolytic clinical trials.

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a common microvascular complication in the late stages of diabetes. Currently, the etiology and pathogenesis of DN are not well understood. Even so, available evidence shows its development is associated with metabolism, oxidative stress, cytokine interaction, genetic factors, and renal microvascular disease. Diabetic nephropathy can lead to proteinuria, edema and hypertension, among other complications. In severe cases, it can cause life-threatening complications such as renal failure. Patients with type 1 diabetes, hypertension, high protein intake, and smokers have a higher risk of developing DN. Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) regulates several human processes essential for normal development. Even though FGF has been implicated in the pathological development of DN, the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. This review summarizes the role of FGF in the development of DN. Moreover, the association of FGF with metabolism, inflammation, oxidative stress and fibrosis in the context of DN is discussed. Findings of this review are expected to deepen our understanding of DN and generate ideas for developing effective prevention and treatments for the disease.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an incurable progressive disease with the progressive impairment of kidney function, which can accelerate the progression of cardiovascular disease, increase the risk of infection, and lead to related complications such as anemia and bone disease. CKD is to a great extent preventable and treatable, and it is particularly important to improve the early diagnosis, strengthen the research underlying the mechanism of disease occurrence and development, and innovate new intervention measures. Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) belongs to one of members of endocrine FGF subfamily with evolutionarily conserved functions and performs a vital role in the regulation of energy balance and adipose metabolism. FGF21 needs to rely on β-Klotho protein to specifically bind to FGF receptor (FGFR), which activates the FGF21 signaling exerting the biological function. FGF21 is deemed as an important regulatory factor extensively modulating many cellular functions under physiologic and pathologic conditions. Although the metabolic effect of FGF21 has been extensively studied, its potential biological role in the kidney has not been generally investigated. In this review, we summarize the biological characteristics, regulation and biological function of FGF21 based on the current studies, and briefly discuss the potential relationship with chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
The nexus of CKD and cardiovascular disease (CVD) amplifies the morbidity and mortality of CKD, emphasizing the need for defining and establishing therapeutic initiatives to modify and abrogate the progression of CKD and concomitant CV risks. In addition to the traditional CV risk factors, disturbances of mineral metabolism are specific risk factors that contribute to the excessive CV mortality in patients with CKD. These risk factors include dysregulations of circulating factors that modulate phosphate metabolism including fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) and soluble Klotho. Reduced circulating levels and suppressed renal klotho expression may be associated with adverse outcomes in CKD patients. While elevated circulating concentrations or locally produced FGF23 in the strained heart exert pro-hypertrophic mechanisms on the myocardium, Klotho attenuates tissue fibrosis, progression of CKD, cardiomyopathy, endothelial dysfunction, vascular stiffness, and vascular calcification. Mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) activation in non-classical targets, mediated by aldosterone and other ligands, amplifies CVD in CKD. In concert, we detail how the interplay of elevated FGF23, activation of the MR, and concomitant reductions of circulating Klotho in CKD, may potentiate each other's deleterious effects on kidney and the heart, thereby contributing to the initiation and progression of kidney and cardiac functional deterioration, acting through multipronged albeit complementary mechanistic pathways.

Abstract
The klotho gene, named after a Greek goddess who spins the thread of life, was identified as a putative 'ageing-suppressor' gene. Klotho-deficient mice exhibit complex ageing-like phenotypes including hypogonadism, arteriosclerosis (vascular calcification), cardiac hypertrophy, osteopenia, sarcopenia, frailty, and premature death. Klotho protein functions as the obligate co-receptor for fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23), a bone-derived hormone that promotes urinary phosphate excretion in response to phosphate intake. Thus, Klotho-deficient mice suffer not only from accelerated ageing but also from phosphate retention due to impaired phosphate excretion. Importantly, restoration of the phosphate balance by placing Klotho-deficient mice on low phosphate diet rescued them from premature ageing, leading us to the notion that phosphate accelerates ageing. Because the extracellular fluid is super-saturated in terms of phosphate and calcium ions, an increase in the phosphate concentration can trigger precipitation of calcium-phosphate. In the blood, calcium-phosphate precipitated upon increase in the blood phosphate concentration is adsorbed by serum protein fetuin-A to form colloidal nanoparticles called calciprotein particles (CPPs). In the urine, CPPs appear in the renal tubular fluid when FGF23 increases phosphate load excreted per nephron. CPPs can induce cell damage, ectopic calcification, and inflammatory responses. CPPs in the blood can induce arteriosclerosis and non-infectious chronic inflammation, whereas CPPs in the urine can induce renal tubular damage and interstitial inflammation/fibrosis. Thus, we propose that CPPs behave like a pathogen that accelerates ageing and should be regarded as a novel therapeutic target against age-related disorders including chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
The global nephrology community recognizes the increasing burden of kidney disease and its poor health outcomes in the general population. Given this, strategies to establish early diagnosis, improve understanding of the natural course and develop novel therapeutic interventions to slow progression and reduce complications are encouraged. Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), a member of the endocrine FGF subfamily, has emerged as a master homeostasis regulator of local and systemic lipid, glucose and energy metabolism. In addition, FGF21 should be considered an autonomic and endocrine regulator of stress responses in general. Promising results has been shown in both dysmetabolic animal models and metabolic disease patients after pharmacological administration of FGF21 analogs. The association of FGF21 with renal function has been studied for more than ten years. However, the functional role of FGF21 in the kidney is still poorly understood. This review summarizes the biological effects of FGF21 and discusses what is currently known about this hormone and chronic kidney disease, highlighting important gaps that warrant further research.

Abstract
Bone is not only a mineralized and apparently non-vital structure that provides support for locomotion and protection to inner organs. An increasing number of studies are unveiling new biologic functions and connections to other systems, giving the rise to new fields of research, such as osteoimmunology. The bone marrow niche, a new entity in bone physiology, seems to represent the site where a complex crosstalk between bone and immune/inflammatory responses takes place. An impressive interplay with the immune system is realized in bone marrow, with reciprocal influences between bone cells and haematopoietic cells. In this way, systemic chronic inflammatory diseases realize a crosstalk with bone, resulting in bone disease. Thus, pathogenetic links between chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disorders and osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and ageing are common. The aim of this narrative review is to provide a general view of the progresses in the field of bone research and their potential clinical implications, with emphasis on the links with inflammation and the connections to osteoimmunology and chemokines.

Abstract
Background Klotho is a prote˝in that acts as a co-receptor for FGF23. FGF23-Klotho axis has great importance regarding the regulation of mineral metabolism by kidneys. In this study, we analysed FGF23, Klotho, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, parathormone, Calcium and Phosphate levels of haemodialysis patients in order to investigate the nature of the mineral metabolism disruption in chronic kidney diseases. Methods Sixty haemodialysis patients and 34 healthy controls were included in the study. Serum iFGF, cFGF, and soluble Klotho were analysed using ELISA kits. Moreover, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 was determined using LCMS/MS. Calcium, phosphate, iPTH and 25-hydroxyvitamin D were measured using autoanalyzers. Results In haemodialysis patients, iFGF23, cFGF23, iPTH and P levels were significantly higher, and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, Klotho and Ca levels were significantly lower compared with the control group. There was no significant difference in the 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels. Conclusions Our study showed that lack of sufficient amounts of Klotho is crucial for mineral metabolism disruptions seen as a complication of chronic kidney diseases. Despite the high levels of the hormone, FGF23 is unable to accomplish its function properly, likely due to deteriorated kidney function in haemodialysis patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), a phosphate-regulating hormone that increases early in the course of chronic kidney disease (CKD), is associated with disease progression in patients with established CKD. Here we aimed to investigate the association between plasma FGF23 and new-onset CKD in the general population. METHODS We included 5253 individuals without CKD who participated in the Prevention of Renal and Vascular Endstage Disease study, a prospective, population-based cohort. Multi-variable Cox regression was used to study the association of plasma C-terminal FGF23 with new-onset CKD, defined as a combined endpoint of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 mL/min/ 1.73 m2, urinary 24-h albumin excretion (UAE) >30 mg/24 h or both, or with all-cause mortality. RESULTS The median baseline FGF23 was 68 [interquartile range (IQR) 56-85] RU/mL, eGFR was 95 ± 13 mL/min/1.73 m2 and UAE was 7.8 (IQR 5.8-11.5) mg/24 h. After follow-up of 7.5 (IQR 7.2-8.0) years, 586 participants developed CKD and 214 participants died. A higher FGF23 level was associated with new-onset CKD, independent of risk factors for kidney disease and parameters of bone and mineral homoeostasis {fully adjusted hazard ratio (HR) 1.25 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.10-1.44] per doubling of FGF23; P = 0.001}. In secondary analyses, FGF23 was independently associated with new-onset eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 [adjusted HR 1.28 (95% CI 1.00-1.62); P = 0.048] or with UAE >30 mg/24 h [adjusted HR 1.24 (95% CI 1.06-1.45); P = 0.01] individually. A higher FGF23 level was also associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality [fully adjusted HR 1.30 (95% CI 1.03-1.63); P = 0.03]. CONCLUSIONS High FGF23 levels are associated with an increased risk of new-onset CKD and all-cause mortality in this prospective population-based cohort, independent of established CKD risk factors.

Abstract
Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare endocrine malignancy and treatment of advanced disease is challenging. Clinical trials with multi-tyrosine kinase inhibitors in the past have yielded disappointing results. Here, we investigated fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptors and their pathways in adrenocortical tumors as potential treatment targets. We performed real-time RT-PCR of 93 FGF pathway related genes in a cohort of 39 fresh frozen benign and malignant adrenocortical, 9 non-adrenal tissues and 4 cell lines. The expression of FGF receptors was validated in 166 formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissues using RNA in situ hybridization (RNAscope) and correlated with clinical data. In malignant compared to benign adrenal tumors, we found significant differences in the expression of 16/94 FGF receptor pathway related genes. Genes involved in tissue differentiation and metastatic spread through epithelial to mesechymal transition were most strongly altered. The therapeutically targetable FGF receptors 1 and 4 were upregulated 4.6- and 6-fold, respectively, in malignant compared to benign adrenocortical tumors, which was confirmed by RNAscope in FFPE samples. High expression of FGFR1 and 4 was significantly associated with worse patient prognosis in univariate analysis. After multivariate adjustment for the known prognostic factors Ki-67 and ENSAT tumor stage, FGFR1 remained significantly associated with recurrence-free survival (HR=6.10, 95%CI: 1.78 - 20.86, p=0.004) and FGFR4 with overall survival (HR=3.23, 95%CI: 1.52 - 6.88, p=0.002). Collectively, our study supports a role of FGF pathways in malignant adrenocortical tumors. Quantification of FGF receptors may enable a stratification of ACC for the use of FGFR inhibitors in future clinical trials.

Abstract
αKlotho (called Klotho here) is a membrane protein that serves as the coreceptor for the circulating hormone fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23). Klotho is also cleaved and released as a circulating substance originating primarily from the kidney and exerts a myriad of housekeeping functions in just about every organ. The vital role of Klotho is shown by the multiorgan failure with genetic deletion in rodents, with certain features reminiscent of human disease. The most common causes of systemic Klotho deficiency are AKI and CKD. Preclinical data on Klotho biology have advanced considerably and demonstrated its potential diagnostic and therapeutic value; however, multiple knowledge gaps exist in the regulation of Klotho expression, release, and metabolism; its target organs; and mechanisms of action. In the translational and clinical fronts, progress has been more modest. Nonetheless, Klotho has potential clinical applications in the diagnosis of AKI and CKD, in prognosis of progression and extrarenal complications, and finally, as replacement therapy for systemic Klotho deficiency. The overall effect of Klotho in clinical nephrology requires further technical advances and additional large prospective human studies.

Abstract
The bone-derived hormone fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) acts in concert with parathyroid hormone (PTH) and the active vitamin D metabolite calcitriol in the regulation of calcium (Ca) and phosphate (P) homeostasis. More factors are being identified to regulate FGF23 levels and the endocrine loops between the three hormones. The present review summarizes the complex regulation of FGF23 and the disturbed FGF23/Klotho system in chronic kidney disease (CKD). In addition to the reduced ability of the injured kidney to regulate plasma levels of FGF23, several CKD-related factors have been shown to stimulate FGF23 production. The high circulating FGF23 levels have detrimental effects on erythropoiesis, the cardio-vascular system and the immune system, all contributing to the disturbed system biology in CKD. Moreover, new factors secreted by the injured kidney and the uremic calcified vasculature play a role in the mineral and bone disorder in CKD and create a vicious pathological crosstalk.

Abstract
The change of serum soluble Klotho (sKlotho) content is related to a variety of osteoarthropathy. However, its association with the severity of skeletal fluorosis (SF) is not clear. Here, the association of tea fluoride exposure with serum sKlotho levels and the severity of SF were investigated and further verified in a rat model of fluorosis. A cross sectional case control study was conducted in residents over 50 years old from brick-tea drinking areas in Qinghai and Xinjiang Provinces, China. Concentrations of fluoride in brick tea water and urine were determined by ion selective electrode method, and the levels of serum sKlotho were determined by ELISA method. Linear regression and ordered logistic regression models were constructed to examine the relationship among fluoride exposure, serum sKlotho levels and the severity of SF. The kidney and small intestine of Wistar rats were isolated for detection of Klotho by immunohistochemistry (IHC), and femoral artery blood was sampled to measure the serum levels of sKlotho. An increase of 1 mg/day in tea fluoride intake (TFI) was associated with a 12.070 pg/mL (95% CI: 0.452-23.689) increase in serum sKlotho levels and a 1.163-fold (95% CI: 1.007-1.342) increase in the severity of SF after adjusting for age, gender, and ethnicity. Serum sKlotho levels were also positively associated with the severity of SF (P < 0.05). The mediation analysis showed that serum sKlotho levels mediated 17.76% of the increase in the severity of SF caused by an increase of 1 mg/day of TFI. Moreover, a significant increase of serum sKlotho levels in fluoride-exposed groups was also seen in the rat model. The present study suggests that serum sKlotho may be a potential mediator of SF in brick tea-type fluorosis endemic areas.

Abstract
Dietary phosphate overload induces chronic kidney disease (CKD), and calciprotein particles (CPPs), a form of nanoparticle comprising calcium phosphate and serum proteins, has been proposed to cause renal toxicity. However, the mechanism of CPP cytotoxicity in renal tubular cells is unknown. Here we show that in renal proximal tubular epithelial HK-2 cells, endocytosed CPPs accumulate in late endosomes/lysosomes (LELs) and increase their luminal pH by ~ 1.0 unit. This results in a decrease in lysosomal hydrolase activity and autophagic flux blockage without lysosomal rupture and reactive oxygen species generation. CPP treatment led to vulnerability to H2O2-induced oxidative stress and plasma membrane injury, probably because of autophagic flux blockage and decreased plasma membrane cholesterol, respectively. CPP-induced disruption of lysosomal homeostasis, autophagy flux and plasma membrane integrity might trigger a vicious cycle, leading to progressive nephron loss.

Abstract
RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urinary albumin-creatinine ratio (UACR) are associated with cardiovascular events in the general population but their utility among older adults is unclear. We investigated the associations of eGFR and UACR with stroke, myocardial infarction (MI), and death among older adults. STUDY DESIGN Population-based cohort study. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS 1,581 participants (aged≥70 years) in the Berlin Initiative Study (BIS) without prior stroke or MI. EXPOSURES & PREDICTORS Serum creatinine- and cystatin C-based eGFR, UACR categories, and measured GFR (n=436). OUTCOMES Stroke, MI, and all-cause mortality. ANALYTICAL APPROACH HRs and 95% CIs derived from multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazards models for association analyses. Net reclassification improvement (NRI) and C statistic differences comparing the predictive benefit of kidney measures with a traditional cardiovascular risk model. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 8.2 years, 193 strokes, 125 MIs, and 531 deaths occurred. Independent of UACR, when GFR was estimated using the creatinine- and cystatin C-based BIS equation, eGFR of 45 to 59mL/min/1.73m2 (vs eGFR>60mL/min/1.73m2) was associated with stroke (HR, 2.23; 95% CI, 1.55-3.21) but not MI or all-cause mortality. For those with eGFR<45mL/min/1.73m2, the HRs were 1.99 (95% CI, 1.23-3.20) for stroke, 1.38 (95% CI, 0.81-2.36) for MI, and 1.57 (95% CI, 1.20-2.06) for mortality. Compared with UACR<30mg/g, UACR of 30 to 300mg/g was not associated with stroke (HR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.63-1.33) but was associated with MI (HR, 1.65; 95% CI, 1.09-2.51) and all-cause mortality (HR, 1.63; 95% CI, 1.34-1.98). Prediction analysis for stroke showed significant positive NRI for eGFR calculated using the cystatin C-based Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation and the creatinine- and cystatin C-based BIS and Full Age Spectrum equations. UACR demonstrated significant positive NRIs for MI and mortality. LIMITATIONS eGFR and UACR categorization based on single assessments; lack of cause-specific death data. CONCLUSIONS eGFR of 45 to 59mL/min/1.73m2 without albuminuria was associated with stroke but not MI or all-cause mortality in older adults. In contrast, UACR of 30 to 300mg/g was associated with MI and all-cause mortality but not with stroke. Furthermore, cystatin C-based eGFR improved risk prediction for stroke in this cohort of older adults.

Abstract
Based on the traditional Chinese medicine theory, kidney is considered to govern the bones and dominate the store of essence ('jing' in Chinese). Gushudan (GSD) is a traditional Chinese medicine prescription for the treatment osteoporosis in the clinic and is beneficial for improving kidney function and strengthening bone in vivo. This study aims to reveal the renal metabolic profiling of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) rats and the potential preventive effect of GSD based on an integrative metabolomic and metallomic approach. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) were combined for the investigation of renal metabolomic and metallomic profiling. In the metabolomic analysis, 17 potential biomarkers were found to be related to GIOP, such as glucose, malate, γ-aminobutyric acid and arachidonic acid. And seven metallic elements, including Zn, Mn, Se, Fe, Mo, As and Ba, were identified in rat kidney tissue in the metallomic analysis. The major metabolic pathways included aerobic glycolysis, and neurotransmitter amino acids metabolism. It was worth mentioning that the levels of trace metal elements (Zn, Mn, Se, Fe, As and Ba) significantly reduced in the model group, while the contents of Zn, Mn, Se, Fe and As were elevated after administration of GSD. Finally, a correlation metabolic regulatory network and the metabolic pathways associated with trace metal elements were further investigated to illuminate the role of potential biomarkers and trace metal elements in GIOP rats. These variations of potential biomarkers and trace metal elements suggested the existence of kidney damage and metabolic disorder in GIOP rats, which indicated a close relationship between bone and kidney in vivo. Moreover, the integrated renal metabolomic and metallomic profiling could be as an effective supplementary measure to the plasma and urine metabolomic research, and it was helpful to further understand the holistic formation process of osetoporosis and the potential preventive effects of GSD on GIOP rats.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a key phosphate-regulating hormone that has been associated with adverse outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Emerging data suggest that FGF23 plays a specific role in type 2 diabetes, partly independent of kidney function. We aimed to summarize current literature on the associations between FGF23 and outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes with or without CKD. RECENT FINDINGS Several cohort studies have shown strong associations between plasma FGF23 and cardiovascular outcomes in diabetic CKD. Moreover, recent data suggest that FGF23 are elevated and may also be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and mortality in type 2 diabetes patients without CKD, although the magnitude of the association is smaller than in CKD patients. Diabetes-related factors may influence plasma FGF23 levels, and a higher FGF23 levels seem to contribute to a higher cardiovascular and mortality risk in patients with type 2 diabetes. Although this risk may be relevant in diabetic individuals with preserved kidney function, it is strongly accentuated in diabetic nephropathy. Future studies should clarify if FGF23 is merely a disease severity marker or a contributor to adverse outcomes in type 2 diabetes and establish if antidiabetic medication can modify FGF23 levels.

Abstract
Klotho has been recognized as a gene involved in the aging process in mammals for over 30 years, where it regulates phosphate homeostasis and the activity of members of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. The α-Klotho protein is the receptor for Fibroblast Growth Factor-23 (FGF23), regulating phosphate homeostasis and vitamin D metabolism. Phosphate toxicity is a hallmark of mammalian aging and correlates with diminution of Klotho levels with increasing age. As such, modulation of Klotho activity is an attractive target for therapeutic intervention in the diseasome of aging; in particular for chronic kidney disease (CKD), where Klotho has been implicated directly in the pathophysiology. A range of senotherapeutic strategies have been developed to directly or indirectly influence Klotho expression, with varying degrees of success. These include administration of exogenous Klotho, synthetic and natural Klotho agonists and indirect approaches, via modulation of the foodome and the gut microbiota. All these approaches have significant potential to mitigate loss of physiological function and resilience accompanying old age and to improve outcomes within the diseasome of aging.

Abstract
Background Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in advanced CKD. The major pathological changes of CKD-associated CVD are severe vascular media calcification, aberrant cardiac remodeling such as hypertrophy and fibrosis, as well as accelerated atherosclerosis. α-Klotho is proposed as an anti-aging gene, which is primarily expressed in the kidney. Recent studies reveal that α-Klotho deficiency is associated with profound cardiovascular dysfunction. Of note, CKD represents extremely declined α-Klotho levels, hinting that α-Klotho deficiency may be implicated in the pathogenesis of CKD-associated CVD. Summary Based on the pathogenic mechanism of α-Klotho deficiency and decreased Klotho levels in the circulation even early in stage 1 of CKD, α-Klotho serves as a sensitive biomarker for renal insufficiency and also a novel predictor of risk of overall mortality of CVD events in CKD. Meanwhile, loss of Klotho resulted from kidney dysfunction markedly contributes to the progressive development of CKD and CVD. By contrast, prevention of Klotho decline using exogenous supplementation or genetically activated ways by several mechanisms can dramatically mitigate cardiac dysfunction, prevent vascular calcification, and retard the progression of CKD-accelerated atherosclerosis. Key Messages Klotho deficiency is proposed as a novel predictive biomarker as well as a pathogenic contributor to CVD events in CKD. In the future, Klotho may be a crucial potential therapeutic strategy to decrease the burden of CVD comorbidity with CKD in clinics.

Abstract
After decades of pioneering and improvement, kidney transplantation is now the renal replacement therapy of choice for most patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Where focus has traditionally been on surgical techniques and immunosuppressive treatment with prevention of rejection and infection in relation to short-term outcomes, nowadays, so many people are long-living with a transplanted kidney that lifestyle, including diet and exposure to toxic contaminants, also becomes of importance for the kidney transplantation field. Beyond hazards of immunological nature, a systematic assessment of potentially modifiable-yet rather overlooked-risk factors for late graft failure and excess cardiovascular risk may reveal novel targets for clinical intervention to optimize long-term health and downturn current rates of premature death of kidney transplant recipients (KTR). It should also be realized that while kidney transplantation aims to restore kidney function, it incompletely mitigates mechanisms of disease such as chronic low-grade inflammation with persistent redox imbalance and deregulated mineral and bone metabolism. While the vicious circle between inflammation and oxidative stress as common final pathway of a multitude of insults plays an established pathological role in native chronic kidney disease, its characterization post-kidney transplant remains less than satisfactory. Next to chronic inflammatory status, markedly accelerated vascular calcification persists after kidney transplantation and is likewise suggested a major independent mechanism, whose mitigation may counterbalance the excess risk of cardiovascular disease post-kidney transplant. Hereby, we first discuss modifiable dietary elements and toxic environmental contaminants that may explain increased risk of cardiovascular mortality and late graft failure in KTR. Next, we specify laboratory and clinical readouts, with a postulated role within persisting mechanisms of disease post-kidney transplantation (i.e., inflammation and redox imbalance and vascular calcification), as potential non-traditional risk factors for adverse long-term outcomes in KTR. Reflection on these current research opportunities is warranted among the research and clinical kidney transplantation community.

Abstract
The effects of long-term disturbance of the mineral metabolism on patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are unclear. We investigated whether the longitudinal Ca-P (joint calcium and phosphorus) trajectories are associated with incident end-stage renal disease (ESRD), acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and all-cause mortality in patients with CKD. We conducted a prospective cohort study by using data from a 13-year multidisciplinary pre-ESRD care registry. The final study population consisted of 4,237 CKD patients aged 20–90 years with data gathered from 2003 to 2015. Individuals’ Ca-P trajectories were defined using group-based multi-trajectory modeling into three distinct patterns: reference, moderately abnormal, and severely abnormal. Times to ESRD, ACS, and death were analyzed using multiple Cox regression. Compared with those with a “reference” Ca-P trajectory, the adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) (95% confidence interval [CI]) for incidental ESRD were 5.92 (4.71–7.44) and 15.20 (11.85–19.50) for “moderately abnormal” and “severely abnormal” Ca-P trajectories, respectively. The corresponding aHRs for ACS were 1.94 (1.49–2.52) and 3.18 (2.30–4.39), and for all-cause mortality, they were 1.88 (1.64–2.16) and 2.46 (2.05–2.96) for “moderately abnormal” and “severely abnormal” Ca-P trajectories, respectively. For outcomes of progression to ESRD, the detrimental effects of abnormal Ca-P trajectories were more substantial in patients with CKD stage 3 than those with CKD stage 4 or 5 (p-value for interaction < 0.001). Future studies should validate reliable longitudinal cut-offs of serum phosphorus and consider the “lowering phosphorus— the lower the better, the earlier the better” approach to phosphorus control in CKD.

Lower circulating soluble Klotho level is associated with increased risk of all-cause mortality in chronic kidney disease patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Int Urol Nephrol 2020; 52:1543-1550. [PMID: 32462356 DOI: 10.1007/s11255-020-02510-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2020] [Accepted: 05/12/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate the association between circulating soluble Klotho level and risk of all-cause mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients using systematic review and meta-analysis technique. METHODS Potentially eligible studies were identified from Medline and EMBASE databases from inception to March 2020 using a search strategy that consisted of terms for "Klotho" and "Mortality". Eligible study must be a cohort study that consists of one cohort of CKD patients with higher circulating soluble Klotho level and another cohort of CKD patients with lower circulating soluble Klotho level. The study must also report relative risk (RR), incidence rate ratio, hazard risk ratio or standardized incidence ratio with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) comparing all-cause mortality between CKD patients with lower circulating soluble Klotho level versus CKD patients with higher circulating soluble Klotho level. If the study divides patients (per circulating soluble Klotho level) into more than two groups, a comparison between the highest and the lowest group would be extracted. Point estimates with standard errors were retrieved from each study and were combined together using the generic inverse variance method. RESULTS A total of 2964 articles were retrieved. After two rounds of an independent review by two investigators, six prospective cohort studies met the eligibility criteria and were included into the meta-analysis. CKD patients with lower circulating soluble Klotho level had a significantly increased risk of all-cause mortality with the pooled risk ratio of 1.88 (95% CI 1.29-2.74; I2 0%). The funnel plot was fairly symmetric and did not reveal any suggestive evidence of publication bias. CONCLUSION The current study found a significant association between lower circulating soluble Klotho level and increased risk of all-cause mortality in CKD patients. However, this meta-analysis carries some limitations, including relatively small sample size, lack of adjustment for potential confounders and between-study heterogeneity in baseline characteristics of the patients and cut-off values used to categorize patients into higher and lower circulating serum Klotho level group.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) and Klotho are extensively studied in relation to bone metabolism and progression of chronic kidney disease. There is very limited information about their role in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). The aim of the present study was to investigate some bone markers in women with PCOS in relation to obesity and cardiovascular risk. In the study were included 80 patients, divided into three age-matched groups -Non-obese PCOS (n = 40); Obese PCOS (n = 20) and Obese control group (n = 20). Bone marker levels were measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Obese PCOS patients had higher levels of FGF23 and sRANKL, lower levels of 25(OH)D and higher prevalence of vitamin D deficiency compared to non-obese subjects. Patients with abdominal obesity (waist circumference >80 cm) independently of PCOS status had significantly higher levels of FGF23 (112.5 ± 86.5 vs. 73.4 ± 37.9 pg/ml; p = .023) and lower of 25(OH)D (35.8 ± 21.4 vs 47.8 ± 26.5 nmol/l; p = .034). Patients with PCOS at risk of cardiovascular diseases according to AE-PCOS consensus also had increased levels of FGF23 (111.6 ± 84.5 vs. 66.5 ± 35.1 pg/ml; p = .031) and decreased levels of 25(OH)D (31.9 ± 16.8 vs. 47.1 vs 28.4 nmol/l; p = .017) compared to those not at risk. There was no correlation between bone markers and blood glucose levels, insulin resistance or hormonal levels.

Abstract
The levels of the anti-aging protein α-Klotho, in its soluble form (s-Klotho), are depressed in the circulation of patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) or type 2 diabetes (T2D). Gene transfer experiments have suggested a protective role for β-cell specific expression of α-Klotho in murine models of T1D and T1D, but these approaches are not easily translatable to clinical therapy. It is unknown whether systemic s-Klotho protein treatment ameliorates disease in T1D, which is characterized by autoimmune destruction of β cells. We previously reported from in vitro experiments with β cells that s-Klotho increases insulin secretion, reduces cells death and promotes β-cell replication. Here, we investigated s-Klotho protein therapy in NOD mice, which have autoimmune T1D. We observed that diabetic NOD mice have significantly lower plasma levels of s-Klotho, compared to their non-diabetic counterparts. To examine in vivo effects of Klotho, we treated NOD mice with s-Klotho protein, or with a Klotho blocking antibody. Systemic treatment with s-Klotho ameliorated diabetes; notably increasing β-cell replication and total β-cell mass. Klotho expression was increased locally in the islets. s-Klotho also markedly reduced immune-cell infiltration of islets (insulitis). In contrast, administration of the Klotho antibody was detrimental, and aggravated the loss of β-cell mass. Thus, s-Klotho has protective effects in this model of T1D, and this appears to depend on a combination of increased β-cell replication and reduced insulitis. These findings suggest that s-Klotho might be effective as a new therapeutic agent for T1D.

Abstract
The Klotho proteins, αKlotho and βKlotho, are essential components of endocrine fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor complexes, as they are required for the high-affinity binding of FGF19, FGF21 and FGF23 to their cognate FGF receptors (FGFRs). Collectively, these proteins form a unique endocrine system that governs multiple metabolic processes in mammals. FGF19 is a satiety hormone that is secreted from the intestine on ingestion of food and binds the βKlotho-FGFR4 complex in hepatocytes to promote metabolic responses to feeding. By contrast, under fasting conditions, the liver secretes the starvation hormone FGF21, which induces metabolic responses to fasting and stress responses through the activation of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis and the sympathetic nervous system following binding to the βKlotho-FGFR1c complex in adipocytes and the suprachiasmatic nucleus, respectively. Finally, FGF23 is secreted by osteocytes in response to phosphate intake and binds to αKlotho-FGFR complexes, which are expressed most abundantly in renal tubules, to regulate mineral metabolism. Growing evidence suggests that the FGF-Klotho endocrine system also has a crucial role in the pathophysiology of ageing-related disorders, including diabetes, cancer, arteriosclerosis and chronic kidney disease. Therefore, targeting the FGF-Klotho endocrine axes might have therapeutic benefit in multiple systems; investigation of the crystal structures of FGF-Klotho-FGFR complexes is paving the way for the development of drugs that can regulate these axes.

Abstract
Although vitamin D has been reported to have pleiotropic effects including effects on the immune system and on cancer progression, the principal action of vitamin D is the maintenance of calcium and phosphate homeostasis. The importance of vitamin D in this process is emphasized by the consequences of vitamin D deficiency which includes rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults. Vitamin D deficiency has also been reported to increase the risk of falls and osteoporotic fractures. Although vitamin D fortification of foods (including dairy products) has contributed to a marked decrease in rickets in the Western world, vitamin D deficiency in children and adults is still prevalent world-wide. This review summarizes new developments in our understanding of vitamin D endocrine system and addresses clinical syndromes related to abnormalities in vitamin D metabolism and action. In addition, the current understanding of the evaluation of vitamin D deficiency and sufficiency and recommendations for achieving vitamin D sufficiency are discussed.

Abstract
Background: The perturbation of phosphate homeostasis portends unfavorable outcomes in chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, the absence of randomized clinical trials (RCT) fuels the discussion of whether phosphate or some other phosphorous-related factor(s) such as fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) mediates the cardiovascular and systemic toxicity. We herein test whether the fractional excretion of phosphate (FeP) as a marker of renal stress to excrete phosphorous predicts unfavorable outcomes in CKD patients. Methods: Retrospective, cross-sectional observational study. For current analysis, an historical cohort of 407 records of CKD stage 3b-5 patients attending between January 2010 and October 2015 at the Nephrology Unit of Solofra (AV), Italy were utilized. Demographic, clinical, laboratory, and outcome data were identified through the subjects’ medical records. We tested whether quartiles of FeP are associated with the risk of CKD progression or all causes of death. Parametric as well as non-parametric tests, linear and logistic regression, as well as survival analysis were utilized. Results: Overall, we investigated middle-age (mean 66.0, standard deviation 12.3 years) men and women (male 43%) with CKD stage 3b to 5 (creatinine clearance 32.0 (13.3) mL/min). Older age, lower diastolic blood pressure, poor renal function, as well as higher serum phosphate were associated with FeP. Patients with higher FeP were at an increased risk of starting dialysis or dying (hazard ratio 2.40; 95% confidence interval (1.44, 3.99)). Notably, when the two endpoints were analyzed separately, FeP was associated with renal but not all-cause survival. Conclusion: FeP is associated with ESRD, but not all-cause mortality risk in a large cohort of moderate to advanced CKD patients. Future efforts are required to validate FeP as a marker of nephron stress and risk factor for CKD progression in this high-risk population.

Abstract
Progression of renal parenchyma injury is characterized by increasing interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy, irrespective of the cause. Histopathologic assessment of renal tissue obtained by biopsy remains the gold standard for determining the presence and extent of tubulointerstitial scarring. Discovery of robust non-invasive means for capturing a snapshot and for longitudinal monitoring of parenchymal deterioration has been the focus of intense multimodal effort by investigators within the renal community and beyond. Research in this field has included the use of in vitro and in vivo experimental models and has fostered the development and evaluation of tissue and biofluid assays for novel analytes with potential translation to the diagnosis and prognosis of kidney disease. Here, we examine recent advances in the search of "biomarkers" for detection of renal tubulointerstitial scarring and prediction of renal outcome in human renal disease.

Abstract
Serine/threonine protein kinase C (PKC) is activated by diacylglycerol that is released from membrane lipids by phospholipase C in response to activation of G protein-coupled receptors or receptor tyrosine kinases. PKC isoforms are particularly relevant for proliferation and differentiation of cells including osteoblasts. Osteoblasts/osteocytes produce fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), a hormone regulating renal phosphate and vitamin D handling. PKC activates NFκB, a transcription factor complex controlling FGF23 expression. Here, we analyzed the impact of PKC on FGF23 synthesis. Fgf23 expression was analyzed by qRT-PCR in UMR106 osteoblast-like cells and in IDG-SW3 osteocytes, and FGF23 protein was measured by ELISA. Phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (PMA), a PKC activator, up-regulated FGF23 production. In contrast, PKC inhibitors calphostin C, Gö6976, sotrastaurin and ruboxistaurin suppressed FGF23 formation. NFκB inhibitor withaferin A abolished the stimulatory effect of PMA on Fgf23. PKC is a powerful regulator of FGF23 synthesis, an effect which is at least partly mediated by NFκB.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The vitamin D system is essential for optimal health in humans. Circulating calcitriol, a key metabolite in maintaining calcium and phosphorus homeostasis, is produced in the kidney. In kidney failure, calcitriol levels progressively decrease, contributing to the development of renal secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT). SUMMARY For years, SHPT had a central role in the disturbed mineral metabolism of renal patients. As calcitriol deficiency contributes to SHPT development, treatment with calcitriol or other compounds able to activate the vitamin D receptor (VDR) was one of the mainstays of therapy for renal patients in the last 40 years. In this review, we discuss how the treatment with VDR activators (VDRA) evolved during this time in the United States, as well as the main factors responsible for these changes. KEY MESSAGES Management of SHPT with VDRA in renal patients has undergone a few paradigm shifts over the last 40 years. When treating SHPT, the newly developed therapies as well as VDRA need to be carefully considered and used appropriately. Nephrologists need to use an integrated approach that avoids excessive use of VDRA, ensures replenishment of vitamin D stores, and avoids hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia.

Phosphate binding by sucroferric oxyhydroxide ameliorates renal injury in the remnant kidney model. Sci Rep 2019; 9:1732. [PMID: 30741979 PMCID: PMC6370755 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-38389-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2018] [Accepted: 12/27/2018] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Recent clinical studies indicate that the disturbed phosphate metabolism in chronic kidney disease (CKD) may facilitate kidney injury; nonetheless, the causal role of phosphate in CKD progression remains to be elucidated. Here, we show that intestinal phosphate binding by sucroferric oxyhydroxide (SF) ameliorates renal injury in the rat remnant kidney model. Sprague-Dawley rats received 5/6 nephrectomy (RK) and had a normal chow or the same diet containing SF (RK + SF). RK rats showed increased plasma FGF23 and phosphate levels, which were suppressed by SF administration. Of note, albuminuria in RK rats was significantly ameliorated by SF at both 4 and 8 weeks. SF also attenuated glomerulosclerosis and tubulointerstitial injury. Moreover, several different approaches confirmed the protective effects on podocytes, explaining the attenuation of glomerulosclerosis and albuminuria observed in this study. As a possible mechanism, we found that SF attenuated renal inflammation and fibrosis in RK rats. Interestingly, von Kossa staining of the kidney revealed calcium phosphate deposition in neither RK nor RK + SF rats; however, plasma levels of calciprotein particles were significantly reduced by SF. These data indicate that latent positive phosphate balance accelerates CKD progression from early stages, even when overt ectopic calcification is absent.

[PMID: 30513703 PMCID: PMC6315996 DOI: 10.3390/nu10121840] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2018] [Revised: 11/08/2018] [Accepted: 11/20/2018] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to review current knowledge about the interactions of energy-dense diets and mineral metabolism in the context of chronic kidney disease–metabolic bone disease (CKD-MBD). Energy dense-diets promote obesity and type II diabetes, two well-known causes of CKD. Conversely, these diets may help to prevent weight loss, which is associated with increased mortality in advanced CKD patients. Recent evidence indicates that, in addition to its nephrotoxic potential, energy-dense food promotes changes in mineral metabolism that are clearly detrimental in the context of CKD-MBD, such as phosphorus (P) retention, increased concentrations of fibroblast growth factor 23, decreased levels of renal klotho, and reduction in circulating concentrations of calcitriol. Moreover, in uremic animals, a high fat diet induces oxidative stress that potentiates high P-induced vascular calcification, and these extraskeletal calcifications can be ameliorated by oral supplementation of vitamin E. In conclusion, although energy-dense foods may have a role in preventing undernutrition and weight loss in a small section of the CKD population, in general, they should be discouraged in patients with renal disease, due to their impact on P load and oxidative stress.

Towards frailty biomarkers: Candidates from genes and pathways regulated in aging and age-related diseases. Ageing Res Rev 2018; 47:214-277. [PMID: 30071357 DOI: 10.1016/j.arr.2018.07.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 281] [Impact Index Per Article: 46.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2018] [Revised: 07/08/2018] [Accepted: 07/10/2018] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Use of the frailty index to measure an accumulation of deficits has been proven a valuable method for identifying elderly people at risk for increased vulnerability, disease, injury, and mortality. However, complementary molecular frailty biomarkers or ideally biomarker panels have not yet been identified. We conducted a systematic search to identify biomarker candidates for a frailty biomarker panel. METHODS Gene expression databases were searched (http://genomics.senescence.info/genes including GenAge, AnAge, LongevityMap, CellAge, DrugAge, Digital Aging Atlas) to identify genes regulated in aging, longevity, and age-related diseases with a focus on secreted factors or molecules detectable in body fluids as potential frailty biomarkers. Factors broadly expressed, related to several "hallmark of aging" pathways as well as used or predicted as biomarkers in other disease settings, particularly age-related pathologies, were identified. This set of biomarkers was further expanded according to the expertise and experience of the authors. In the next step, biomarkers were assigned to six "hallmark of aging" pathways, namely (1) inflammation, (2) mitochondria and apoptosis, (3) calcium homeostasis, (4) fibrosis, (5) NMJ (neuromuscular junction) and neurons, (6) cytoskeleton and hormones, or (7) other principles and an extensive literature search was performed for each candidate to explore their potential and priority as frailty biomarkers. RESULTS A total of 44 markers were evaluated in the seven categories listed above, and 19 were awarded a high priority score, 22 identified as medium priority and three were low priority. In each category high and medium priority markers were identified. CONCLUSION Biomarker panels for frailty would be of high value and better than single markers. Based on our search we would propose a core panel of frailty biomarkers consisting of (1) CXCL10 (C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 10), IL-6 (interleukin 6), CX3CL1 (C-X3-C motif chemokine ligand 1), (2) GDF15 (growth differentiation factor 15), FNDC5 (fibronectin type III domain containing 5), vimentin (VIM), (3) regucalcin (RGN/SMP30), calreticulin, (4) PLAU (plasminogen activator, urokinase), AGT (angiotensinogen), (5) BDNF (brain derived neurotrophic factor), progranulin (PGRN), (6) α-klotho (KL), FGF23 (fibroblast growth factor 23), FGF21, leptin (LEP), (7) miRNA (micro Ribonucleic acid) panel (to be further defined), AHCY (adenosylhomocysteinase) and KRT18 (keratin 18). An expanded panel would also include (1) pentraxin (PTX3), sVCAM/ICAM (soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule 1/Intercellular adhesion molecule 1), defensin α, (2) APP (amyloid beta precursor protein), LDH (lactate dehydrogenase), (3) S100B (S100 calcium binding protein B), (4) TGFβ (transforming growth factor beta), PAI-1 (plasminogen activator inhibitor 1), TGM2 (transglutaminase 2), (5) sRAGE (soluble receptor for advanced glycosylation end products), HMGB1 (high mobility group box 1), C3/C1Q (complement factor 3/1Q), ST2 (Interleukin 1 receptor like 1), agrin (AGRN), (6) IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor 1), resistin (RETN), adiponectin (ADIPOQ), ghrelin (GHRL), growth hormone (GH), (7) microparticle panel (to be further defined), GpnmB (glycoprotein nonmetastatic melanoma protein B) and lactoferrin (LTF). We believe that these predicted panels need to be experimentally explored in animal models and frail cohorts in order to ascertain their diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic potential.
