Abstract
Mineral metabolism, in particular Ca, and to a lesser extent phosphorus (P) and magnesium (Mg), is altered with the onset of lactation because of extensive irreversible loss to synthesize colostrum and milk. The transient reduction in the concentration of Ca in blood, particularly when it lasts days, increases the risk of mineral-related disorders such as hypocalcemia and, to a lesser extent, hypophosphatemia. Although the incidence of clinical hypocalcemia can be reduced by prepartum dietary interventions, subclinical hypocalcemia remains prevalent, affecting up to 60% of the dairy cows in the first 3 d postpartum. More importantly, strong associations exist between hypocalcemia and increased susceptibility to other peripartum diseases and impaired reproductive performance. Mechanistic experiments have demonstrated the role of Ca on innate immune response in dairy cows, which presumably predisposes them to other diseases. Hypocalcemia is not related to inadequate Ca intake as prepartum diets marginal to deficient in Ca reduce the risk of the disease. Therefore, the understanding of how Ca homeostasis is regulated, in particular how calciotropic hormones such as parathyroid hormone and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, affect blood Ca concentrations, gastrointestinal Ca absorption, bone remodeling, and renal excretion of Ca become critical to develop novel strategies to prevent mineral imbalances either by nutritional or pharmacological interventions. A common method to reduce the risk of hypocalcemia is the manipulation of the prepartum dietary cation-anion difference. Feeding acidogenic diets not only improves Ca homeostasis and reduces hypocalcemia, but also reduces the risk of uterine diseases and improves productive performance. Feeding diets that induce a negative Ca balance in the last weeks of gestation also reduce the risk of clinical hypocalcemia, and recent work shows that the incorporation of mineral sequestering agents, presumably by reducing the absorption of P and Ca prepartum, increases blood Ca at calving, although benefits to production and health remain to be shown. Alternative strategies to minimize subclinical hypocalcemia with the use of vitamin D metabolites either fed prepartum or as a pharmacological agent administered immediately after calving have shown promising results in reducing hypocalcemia and altering immune cell function, which might prove efficacious to prevent diseases in early lactation. This review summarizes the current understanding of Ca homeostasis around parturition, the limited knowledge of the exact mechanisms for gastrointestinal Ca absorption in bovine, the implications of hypocalcemia on the health of dairy cows, and discusses the methods to minimize the risk of hypocalcemia and their impacts on productive performance and health in dairy cows.

The effects of antibiotic therapy on neonatal sepsis-associated acute kidney injury. Life Sci 2024; 338:122359. [PMID: 38135115 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2023.122359] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2023] [Revised: 12/10/2023] [Accepted: 12/14/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023]
Abstract
AIM Neonatal sepsis remains one of the most dangerous conditions in the neonatal intensive care units. One of the organs affected by sepsis is the kidney, making acute kidney injury (AKI) a common complication of sepsis. Treatment of sepsis almost always involves antibiotic therapy, which by itself may cause some adverse effects, including nephrotoxicity. We analyzed the mutual effect of antibiotic therapy and sepsis on AKI in an experimental and clinical study in infants and neonatal rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS We evaluated the influence of therapy with different antibiotics on the appearance of AKI markers (blood urea nitrogen (BUN), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), clusterin, interleukin-18 (IL-18), kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), calbindin, glutation-S-transferase subtype π (GST-π)) and liver injury markers in newborns with or without clinical signs of sepsis in the intensive care unit. In parallel, we analyzed the development of AKI in experimental lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced systemic inflammation in newborn rats accompanied by antibiotic therapy. KEY FINDINGS We showed that therapy with metronidazole or ampicillin in combination with sulbactam had a beneficial effect in children with suspected sepsis, resulting in a decrease in AKI markers levels. However, treatment of newborns with netilmicin, cefepime, linezolid, or imipenem in combination with cilastatin worsened kidney function in these patients. SIGNIFICANCE This prospective study indicates which antibiotics are preferable in neonatal sepsis and which should be used with caution in view of the risk of AKI development.

Abstract
This study investigated the impact of 24-h urinary calcium excretion (UCaE) on renal function decline in hospitalized patients with and without chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study enrolled 3815 CKD patients in stages 1-4 and 1133 non-CKD patients admitted to the First Center of the Chinese PLA General Hospital between January 2014 and July 2022. The primary outcome for CKD patients was a composite of CKD progression, defined as a 40% decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) or end-stage kidney disease. Annual eGFR change was the secondary outcome. For non-CKD patients, the primary outcome was an eGFR decline of ≥20% or CKD incidence, while annual eGFR change was the secondary outcome. The association between UCaE and kidney function decline was assessed using Cox proportional hazards and generalized linear models. Primary outcomes were observed in 813 CKD patients and 109 non-CKD patients over a median follow-up of 3.0 and 4.1 years, respectively. For CKD patients, every 1-mmol/d increase in UCaE was associated with a 15% decreased risk of CKD progression. The hazard ratio (HR) was 0.85, with a 95% confidence interval (CI) of 0.77-0.93. For non-CKD patients, the risk of renal function decline decreased by 11%. The multivariate models indicated that there was an annual decrease in eGFR in both CKD and non-CKD patients, with a reduction of 0.122 mL/min/1.73 m2/year (p < 0.001) and 0.046 mL/min/1.73 m2/year (p = 0.004), respectively, for every 1-mmol/d increase in UCaE. CKD experiences a decrease in 24-h UCaE as early as stage 1, with a significant decline in stage 4. CKD and non-CKD patients with lower UCaE levels are at an increased risk of renal decline, regardless of other variables.

Adapted Murine Sepsis Score: Improving the Research in Experimental Sepsis Mouse Model. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 2022:5700853. [PMID: 35127944 PMCID: PMC8814713 DOI: 10.1155/2022/5700853] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2021] [Revised: 12/16/2021] [Accepted: 01/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
The Murine Sepsis Score (MSS) is used to assess the severity of sepsis in rats and mice based on observational characteristics. The quantitative variables of glycemia, body weight, and temperature are predictors of severity in experimental models of sepsis. Therefore, our study sought to adapt the MSS with the same variables to indicate earlier the severity of the disease in murine models of the disease. Sepsis mice presented hypoglycemia, weight loss, and hypothermia. Therefore, these variables were included in the Adapted Murine Sepsis Score (A-MSS). The A-MASS presented 100% specificity and 87.5% sensibility been able to differentiate the early sepsis symptoms and its severity. The A-MSS allows an early and more complete diagnosis of sepsis in mice and might be considered as a procedure to improve the analysis of systemic sepsis dysfunction in murine experimental models.

The bone is the major source of high circulating intact fibroblast growth factor-23 in acute murine polymicrobial sepsis induced by cecum ligation puncture. PLoS One 2021; 16:e0251317. [PMID: 33989306 PMCID: PMC8121358 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0251317] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2020] [Accepted: 04/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23), a bone-produced hormone, plays a critical role in mineral homeostasis. Human diseases associated with excessive intact circulating FGF23 (iFGF23) result in hypophosphatemia and low vitamin D hormone in patients with normal kidney function. In addition, there is accumulating evidence linking FGF23 with inflammation. Based on these studies and the frequent observation of hypophosphatemia among septic patients, we sought to elucidate further the relationship between FGF23 and mineral homeostasis in a clinically relevant murine polymicrobial sepsis model. Medium-severity sepsis was induced by cecum ligation puncture (CLP) in adult CD-1 mice of both sexes. Healthy CD-1 mice (without CLP) were used as controls. Forty-eight hours post-CLP, spontaneous urine was collected, and serum, organs and bones were sampled at necropsy. Serum iFGF23 increased ~20-fold in CLP compared to control mice. FGF23 protein concentration was increased in the bones, but not in spleen or liver of CLP mice. Despite the ~20-fold iFGF23 increase, we did not observe any significant changes in mineral homeostasis or parathyroid hormone levels in the blood of CLP animals. Urinary excretion of phosphate, calcium, and sodium remained unchanged in male CLP mice, whereas female CLP mice exhibited lower urinary calcium excretion, relative to healthy controls. In line with renal FGF23 resistance, expression of phosphate-, calcium- and sodium-transporting proteins did not show consistent changes in the kidneys of male and female CLP mice. Renal expression of the co-receptor αKlotho was downregulated in female, but not in male CLP mice. In conclusion, our data demonstrate that the dramatic, sex-independent rise in serum iFGF23 post-CLP was mainly caused by an upregulation of FGF23 secretion in the bone. Surprisingly, the upsurge in circulating iFGF23 did not alter humoral mineral homeostasis in the acutely septic mice. Hence, the biological function of elevated FGF23 in sepsis remains unclear and warrants further studies.

Effects of injectable calcitriol on mineral metabolism and postpartum health and performance in dairy cows. J Dairy Sci 2020; 104:683-701. [PMID: 33162071 DOI: 10.3168/jds.2020-18448] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2020] [Accepted: 08/10/2020] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
Objectives were to determine the effects of an injectable formulation of calcitriol on Ca concentration, risk of clinical diseases, and performance in dairy cows. Cows were blocked by lactation number (1 vs. >1) and calving sequence and, within block, assigned randomly within 6 h of calving to receive subcutaneously vehicle only (CON, n = 450) or 200 (CAL200, n = 450) or 300 μg of 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (CAL300, n = 450). Cows were fed the same acidogenic diet prepartum. Blood was sampled before treatment administration and again during the first 11 d postpartum and analyzed for concentrations of ionized Ca (iCa), total Ca (tCa), Mg (tMg), and P (tP), β-hydroxybutyrate, carboxylated osteocalcin (cOC), and undercarboxylated osteocalcin (uOC). Cows were evaluated for diseases in the first 60 d postpartum. Reproduction and survival were monitored for the first 300 d postpartum. Calcitriol increased concentration of blood iCa (CON = 1.12 vs. CAL200 = 1.23 vs. CAL300 = 1.27 mM), plasma tCa (CON = 2.29 vs. CAL200 = 2.44 vs. CAL300 = 2.46 mM), and plasma tP (CON = 1.72 vs. CAL200 = 2.21 vs. CAL300 = 2.28 mM), and differences were observed during the first 5 d postpartum for iCa and tCa, and the first 7 d postpartum for tP. Concentrations of tMg were lower in calcitriol-treated cows than in CON cows (CON = 0.81 vs. CAL200 = 0.78 vs. CAL300 = 0.75 mM), and differences were observed during the first 5 d postpartum. Calcitriol increased plasma concentrations of cOC (CON = 14.5 vs. CAL200 = 23.0 vs. CAL300 = 19.8 ng/mL) and uOC (CON = 1.6 vs. CAL200 = 3.4 vs. CAL300 = 2.6 ng/mL). Prevalence of subclinical hypocalcemia was less in calcitriol-treated cows (CON = 19.0 vs. CAL200 = 4.7 vs. CAL300 = 9.3%); however, benefits on health were only observed in overconditioned cows (n = 270/1,350). Calcitriol reduced incidence of retained placenta (CON = 14.3 vs. CAL200 = 5.1 vs. CAL300 = 5.9%), puerperal metritis (CON = 12.7 vs. CAL200 = 6.1 vs. CAL300 = 2.5%), and morbidity (CON = 72.1 vs. CAL200 = 57.4 vs. CAL300 = 56.9%) in cows with BCS greater than 3.50, but no benefit on health was observed in cows with BCS equal to or less than 3.50 at parturition. Milk yield did not differ among treatments. Pregnancy at first AI did not differ, but pregnancy rate after the first AI was slower for calcitriol-treated cows because of reduced insemination rate and pregnancy per AI. We found that CAL200 reduced death but increased culling in cows without calving problems. Collectively, results indicate that treatment with calcitriol at parturition was effective in improving concentrations of iCa, tCa, and tP, which reduced the risk of hypocalcemia. Pregnancy rate was reduced by calcitriol treatment, and benefits on health performance were limited to overconditioned cows. Thus, treatment of all cows is not supported, and proper identification of cohorts of cows that benefit from postpartum interventions that increase blood calcitriol or calcium is needed.

Abstract
Periparturient hypocalcemia is a common metabolic disorder and it is ostensibly associated with negative health and production outcomes. Acute infection also markedly decreases circulating Ca, but the reasons for and consequences of it on physiological and immunological parameters are unknown. Objectives were to evaluate the effects of maintaining eucalcemia on production, metabolic, and immune variables following an intravenous lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge. Twelve multiparous lactating Holstein cows (717 ± 20 kg of body weight; 176 ± 34 d in milk; parity 3 ± 0.2) were enrolled in a study containing 2 experimental periods (P); during P1 (3 d), cows consumed feed ad libitum and baseline values were obtained. At the initiation of P2 (4 d), cows were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 treatments: (1) LPS administered (LPS-Con; 0.5 μg/kg of body weight LPS; n = 6) or (2) LPS administered + eucalcemic clamp (LPS-Ca; 0.5 μg/kg of body weight LPS; Ca infusion; n = 6). Cows were fasted for the first 12 h during P2. After LPS administration, ionized Ca was determined every 15 min for 6 h and every 30 min for an additional 6 h and intravenous Ca infusion was adjusted in LPS-Ca cows to maintain eucalcemia. Blood ionized Ca was decreased 23% for the first 12 h postbolus in LPS-Con cows, and by design, Ca infusion prevented hypocalcemia. To maintain eucalcemia for the 12 h, 13.7 g of Ca was infused. The total Ca deficit (including Ca not secreted into milk) accumulated over the 12 h was 10.4 and 20.2 g for the LPS-Con and LPS-Ca treatments, respectively. Mild hyperthermia (0.8°C) occurred for ∼6 h post-LPS administration relative to P1. From 6 to 7 h postbolus rectal temperature from LPS-Ca cows was increased (0.6°C) relative to LPS-Con cows. On d 1 of P2, milk yield decreased (61%) in both treatments relative to P1. Relative to LPS-Con cows, milk yield decreased (15%) in LPS-Ca cows during P2. Overall, circulating LPS-binding protein continuously increased postbolus, and at 24 h LPS-binding protein levels in LPS-Ca cows were increased (80%) relative to LPS-Con cows. During P2, serum amyloid A increased (4-fold) in both treatments relative to P1. Administering LPS initially decreased circulating neutrophils, then cell counts progressively increased with time. Calcium infusion decreased neutrophil counts (40%) from 9 to 12 h postbolus relative to LPS-Con cows. Neutrophil function, as assessed by oxidative burst and myeloperoxidase production, did not differ due to treatment. In summary, maintaining eucalcemia (via intravenous Ca infusion) during an immune challenge appeared to intensify inflammation and adversely affect lactation performance.

Abstract
In humans and other primates, 1,25(OH)2vitamin D3 regulates the expression of the cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide (CAMP) gene via toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling that activates the vitamin D pathway. Mice and other mammals lack the vitamin D response element (VDRE) in their CAMP promoters. To elucidate the biological importance of this pathway, we generated transgenic mice that carry a genomic DNA fragment encompassing the entire human CAMP gene and crossed them with Camp knockout (KO) mice. We observed expression of the human transgene in various tissues and innate immune cells. However, in mouse CAMP transgenic macrophages, TLR activation in the presence of 25(OH)D3 did not induce expression of either CAMP or CYP27B1 as would normally occur in human macrophages, reinforcing important species differences in the actions of vitamin D. Transgenic mice did show increased resistance to colonization by Salmonella typhimurium in the gut. Furthermore, the human CAMP gene restored wound healing in the skin of Camp KO mice. Topical application of 1,25(OH)2vitamin D3 to the skin of CAMP transgenic mice induced CAMP expression and increased killing of Staphylococcus aureus in a wound infection model. Our model can help elucidate the biological importance of the vitamin D-cathelicidin pathway in both pathogenic and non-pathogenic states.

Abstract
We determined the clinical signs and blood ionized calcium (iCa) levels in dairy cows
with peracute coliform mastitis (PCM). The clinical scores at the onset of the disease
(day 0) and on day 2 and subsequent days were significantly (P<0.01)
higher than those of healthy cows. We found a positive correlation (r=0.894,
P<0.01) between iCa and total calcium (TCa) concentrations in the
blood of healthy cows ; however there was no correlation from day 0 to day 3 in the blood
of PCM cows. Multiple regression analysis revealed that the concentration of iCa was
correlated with rectal temperature, hematocrit value, platelet count, and albumin level of
PCM cows at the onset of disease (r= −0.804, r=0.6576, r=0.6182, r=0.284,
P<0.01, respectively). There was no correlation between the TCa
concentration and these parameters for PCM cows at day 0. Low blood iCa concentration at
day 0 for PCM cows was related to symptoms of septic shock involving hypothermia,
activation of the blood coagulation system, and dehydration.

Effects of an oral supplement containing calcium and live yeast on post-absorptive metabolism, inflammation and production following intravenous lipopolysaccharide infusion in dairy cows. Res Vet Sci 2020; 129:74-81. [PMID: 31954317 DOI: 10.1016/j.rvsc.2020.01.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2019] [Revised: 01/07/2020] [Accepted: 01/08/2020] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
Objectives were to evaluate the effects of an oral supplement containing soluble Ca, and live yeast in LPS-challenged dairy cows. The trial consisted of 2 experimental periods (P). During P1 (3 d), cows (n = 12) were fed ad libitum and baseline data was collected. At the beginning of P2 (which lasted 96 h), all cows were i.v. challenged with 0.375 μg/kg BW LPS. Cows were assigned randomly to 1 of 2 treatments: 1) control (CON; no bolus; n = 6) or 2) an oral bolus containing Ca and live yeast (CLY; YMCP Vitall® 44.718 g of elemental Ca; TechMix, LLC., Stewart, MN; n = 6), administered -0.5 and 6.5 h relative to LPS infusion. Following LPS administration, circulating Ca decreased in both treatments but supplemental CLY ameliorated the hypocalcemia (48 h area under the curve: -10.8 vs. -1.9 mmol/L × h; P < .01). Lipopolysaccharide decreased dry matter intake (DMI; 60%) similarly for both treatments on d 1, but overall (d 1-4) DMI tended to be reduced less (14 vs. 30%; P = .06) in CLY supplemented vs CON cows. Lipopolysaccharide reduced milk yield (70%; P < .01) from 12 to 24 h, but throughout P2, milk yield from CLY supplemented cows was increased (38%; P = .03) relative to CON cows. Overall during P2, circulating LPS-binding protein and serum amyloid A increased post LPS (3- and 4-fold, respectively, P < .01), but were unaffected by treatment (P ≥ .68). In conclusion, providing an oral supplement containing Ca and live yeast prior to and following LPS administration markedly ameliorated LPS-induced hypocalcemia and improved DMI and milk yield.

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg2+) abnormalities during sepsis have been reported, but the underlying mechanisms during acute inflammation are poorly understood. We hypothesized that a decrease in GFR and/or changes in transporters or channels for Mg2+ could be responsible for the observed Mg2+ abnormalities. Therefore, we studied the metabolism of Mg2+ in a murine model of endotoxemia. LPS-induced hypermagnesemia was paralleled by a decrease in creatinine clearance and an increase in the fractional excretion of Mg2+. In agreement with an altered renal Mg2+ handling, endotoxemia decreased the renal expression of claudin (Cldn) 10b, Cldn16, Cldn19, parvalbumin, and of the solute carrier family (Slc) 41a3. Further, LPS increased the renal expression of Cldn14 and Slc41a1. The renal expression of the transient receptor potential melastin (Trpm) 6, Trpm7, and of cyclin M (Cnnm) 2 was unaltered in response to LPS. In vitro studies support a direct effect on the expression of Cldn10b, Cldn14, Cldn16, and Cldn19. Further, endotoxemia increased the fractional excretion of sodium, which was paralleled by a decrease of important renal sodium transporters. In the large intestine, the expression of Trpm7 was increased in response to LPS, whereas the expression of Trpm6 was decreased. Cnnm4 mRNA levels were unchanged in the large intestine. Further, Cldn12 and Na+-H+ exchanger 3 (Slc9a3) expressions were decreased in the small intestine in response to LPS. Our findings indicate that endotoxemia is associated with hypermagnesemia and a disturbed Mg2+ handling. It seems likely that LPS-induced hypermagnesemia is due to the decrease in renal function in response to LPS.

Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury impairs renal calcium, magnesium, and phosphate handling in mice. Pflugers Arch 2019; 471:901-914. [PMID: 30685787 DOI: 10.1007/s00424-019-02255-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2018] [Revised: 01/04/2019] [Accepted: 01/10/2019] [Indexed: 01/04/2023]
Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) levels are elevated in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI). The consequences on renal Ca2+, Mg2+, and Pi regulatory mechanisms are unknown. We hypothesized that renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury alters the expression of important renal Ca2+, Mg2+, and Pi transport proteins. I/R injury was induced in male C57BL/6 mice by clamping both renal arteries for 27 min. Mice were investigated 18 h later. The mRNA and protein levels of renal Ca2+, Mg2+, and Pi transport proteins were measured by RT-qPCR and western blot analysis. I/R injury-induced hyperphosphatemia and hypermagnesemia were paralleled by a decrease in glomerular filtration rate and an increase in the fractional excretion of Ca2+, Mg2+, and Pi. I/R injury affected the fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23)-klotho-vitamin D axis by increasing plasma levels of FGF23 and downregulation of renal klotho expression. Plasma levels of PTH and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 were unchanged. Further, downregulation of key genes for paracellular reabsorption of Ca2+ and Mg2+ (claudin (Cldn)2, Cldn10b, Cldn16, Cldn19) and for active transcellular transport of Ca2+, Mg2+, and Pi (calbindin-D28K, Ncx1, Pmca4, Cnnm2, Trpm7, NaPi-2a, and NaPi-2c) was observed. However, renal expression of Trpv5 and Trpv6 was increased. In vitro studies support a direct effect of proinflammatory cytokines on the mRNA expression of Cldn16, Cldn19, and Trpv6. Our findings indicate that renal I/R injury increases FGF23 blood levels independent of PTH and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. This increase is associated with hypermagnesemia, hyperphosphatemia, and increased or decreased expression of specific renal Ca2+, Mg2+, and Pi transporters, respectively.
