Chronic Cinacalcet improves skin flap survival in rats: the suggested role of the nitric oxide pathway. NAUNYN-SCHMIEDEBERG'S ARCHIVES OF PHARMACOLOGY 2024; 397:5005-5013.

Abstract
Cinacalcet is a calcimimetic medicine that has been used to treat secondary hyperparathyroidism and parathyroid cancer. Various studies have proposed the positive role of calcium and its receptor in skin wound healing. Furthermore, Cinacalcet interacts with other skin repair-related mechanisms, including inflammation and nitric oxide pathways. The present study evaluated the effect of Cinacalcet on the random-pattern skin flap survival. Eighty-four Wistar male rats were used. Multiple doses of Cinacalcet (30, 3, 1, 0.3, and 0.05 mg/kg) were used in 3 different routes of administration before the surgery. Histopathological evaluations, quantitative assessment of IL-6, TNF-α, and nitric oxide (NO), and the expression of calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) and E-cadherin were evaluated in the skin tissue. To assess the role of NO, a NO synthase inhibitor, N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester hydrochloride (L-NAME), was used, and histopathological effects were investigated. Cinacalcet pretreatment at the IP chronic 1 mg/kg dose significantly increased the skin flap survival rate and enhanced the NO tissue level compared to the control. However, the administration of L-NAME abolished its protective effects. IP Chronic 1 mg/kg of Cinacalcet could also decline the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α and also increase the expression of CaSR and E-cadherin in the flap tissue compared with the control group. Chronic Cinacalcet at 1 mg/kg could improve skin flap survival, probably mediated by the CaSR, NO, and inflammation-related pathways.

Abstract
Introduction Introduction: observations in cell lines suggest that the use of cinacalcet could be associated with increase in body fat, inflammatory state, and alteration in lipid metabolism. However, when scaling the model to the clinical level, the occurrence of these effects is unknown. Objectives: to analyze the effect of cinacalcet therapy on anthropometric, inflammatory and lipid parameters in renal patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT). Methods: observational study with two approaches. The retrospective study included 89 patients who started cinacalcet treatment since 2018 with a maximum follow-up of 36 months. Body mass index (BMI) variables, waist circumference, tricipital skinfold, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and biochemical profile were analyzed. The prospective study included 52 patients who started cinacalcet treatment since 2020 with a 12-month follow-up. BMI, PTH, lipid profile, and PCR variables were analyzed. Results: in the retrospective study, BMI was 27 kg/m2, with 62 % overweight and 65 % of patients with high cardiovascular risk. Cinacalcet reduced PTH by 12 % after six months (p < 0.01) and serum calcium decreased by 3.4 % at the end of follow-up (p = 0.04). According to the prospective study, BMI was 26.8 kg/m2, with 60 % overweight. PTH decreased by 8.4 % after six months. Total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides decreased by 6.8 %, 12.5 %, and 5.5 %, respectively, at the end of follow-up. Conclusions: the prevalent nutritional status is excess weight. In patients with SHPT, cinacalcet improves PTH control without causing changes in anthropometric, lipid, and inflammatory parameters.

Abstract
Purpose: Patients with osteoporosis are at an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Several antiosteoporosis medications have been demonstrated with the benefit of preventing osteoporosis. Our aim is to assess the CVD risks associated with antiosteoporosis medications using the National Health Insurance Research Database in Taiwan between 2000 and 2016. Methods: Among 41,102 patients of 40+ years old with newly diagnosed osteoporosis, 69.1% (N = 28,387) of patients were included in the user cohort of antiosteoporosis medicines, of whom 13, 472 developed CVD by the end of 2016, while 14,915 did not. Using the nested case-control analysis in the user cohort (88.0% women and 77.4% elderly), we applied conditional logistic regression to estimate odds ratios (ORs) of eight types of CVD for the users of denosumab, bisphosphonate, teriparatide, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Results: The adjusted ORs of overall CVDs were 0.13 (95% CI: 0.12-0.15) for denosumab users, 0.52 (95% CI: 0.45-0.61) for teriparatide users, and 0.80 (95% CI: 0.76-0.85) for bisphosphonate users. The HRT users were at higher odds of coronary artery and peripheral artery diseases, heart failure, pulmonary embolism, and deep vein thrombosis. Conclusion: Denosumab, teriparatide, and bisphosphonate may have more protective effects against CVD than hormone therapy. Physicians may take subsequent cardiovascular risks into account when choosing an adequate antiosteoporosis medication for patients with osteoporosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) frequently develop left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), which is associated with an exceptionally high risk of cardiovascular events and mortality. This review focuses on interventional studies that modify levels of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) and examine effects on myocardial hypertrophy, cardiovascular events and mortality. RECENT FINDINGS Quantitative evaluations of trials of calcimimetics found no effects on cardiovascular events and cardiovascular and all-cause mortality when compared with placebo. However, a recent randomized, controlled trial of etelcalcetide versus alfacalcidol showed that etelcalcetide effectively inhibited the progression of LVH in comparison to vitamin D in patients on haemodialysis after 1 year of treatment. Prior to that, oral calcimimetic treatment has already been shown to reduce left ventricular mass in patients on haemodialysis, whereas treatment with active vitamin D or mineralocorticoids was ineffective in patients with ESKD. SUMMARY Data from a recent trial of etelcalcetide on LVH suggest that FGF23 may be a possible therapeutic target for cardiac risk reduction in patients on haemodialysis. If these findings are confirmed by further research, it might be speculated that a treatment shift from active vitamin D towards FGF23-lowering therapy may occur in patients on haemodialysis.

Abstract
The kidney plays a critical role in fluid homeostasis, glucose control, and drug excretion. Loss of kidney function due to drug-induced nephrotoxicity affects over 20% of the adult population. The kidney proximal tubule is a complex vascularized structure that is particularly vulnerable to drug-induced nephrotoxicity. Here, we introduce a model of vascularized human kidney spheroids with integrated tissue-embedded microsensors for oxygen, glucose, lactate, and glutamine, providing real-time assessment of cellular metabolism. Our model shows that both the immunosuppressive drug cyclosporine and the anticancer drug cisplatin disrupt proximal tubule polarity at subtoxic concentrations, leading to glucose accumulation and lipotoxicity. Impeding glucose reabsorption using glucose transport inhibitors blocked cyclosporine and cisplatin toxicity by 1000- to 3-fold, respectively. Retrospective study of 247 patients who were diagnosed with kidney damage receiving cyclosporine or cisplatin in combination with the sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor empagliflozin showed significant (P < 0.001) improvement of kidney function, as well as reduction in creatinine and uric acid, markers of kidney damage. These results demonstrate the potential of sensor-integrated kidney-on-chip platforms to elucidate mechanisms of action and rapidly reformulate effective therapeutic solutions, increasing drug safety and reducing the cost of clinical and commercial failures.

Association of Post Transplantation Anaemia and Persistent Secondary Hyperparathyroidism with Diastolic Function in Stable Kidney Transplant Recipients. Int J Nephrol Renovasc Dis 2021; 14:211-223.

Abstract
Introduction We hypothesized that post transplantation anaemia and persistent secondary hyperparathyroidism are potential determinants of diastolic function in stable kidney transplant recipients. Methods We assessed traditional and non-traditional cardiovascular risk factors and determined carotid artery intima-media thickness and plaque by ultrasound, arterial function by applanation tonometry using SphygmoCor software and diastolic function by echocardiography in 43 kidney transplant recipients with a transplant duration of ≥6 months, no acute rejection and a glomerular filtration rate of ≥15 mL/min/1.73m2. Results Mean (SD; range) transplant duration was 12.3 (8.0; 0.5–33.8) years. Post transplantation anaemia and persistent secondary hyperparathyroidism were identified in 27.9% and 30.8% of the patients, respectively; 67.5% of the participants were overweight or obese. In established confounder adjusted analysis, haemoglobin (partial R=−0.394, p=0.01) and parathyroid hormone concentrations (partial R=0.382, p=0.02) were associated with E/e’. In multivariable analysis, haemoglobin (partial R=−0.278, p=0.01) and parathyroid levels (partial R=0.324, p=0.04) were independently associated with E/e’. Waist–height ratio (partial R=−0.526, p=0.001 and partial R=−0.355, p=0.03), waist circumference (partial R=−0.433, p=0.008 and partial R=−0.393, p=0.02) and body mass index (partial R=−0.332, p=0.04 and partial R=−0.489, p=0.002) were associated with both e’ and E/A, respectively, in established confounder adjusted analysis. The haemoglobin-E/e’ (partial R=−0.422, p=0.02), parathyroid hormone-E/e’ (partial R=0.434, p=0.03), waist–height ratio-e’ (partial R=−0.497, p=0.007) and body mass index-E/A (partial R=−0.386, p=0.04) relationships remained consistent after additional adjustment for left ventricular mass index and cardiac preload and afterload measures. Conclusion Haemoglobin and parathyroid hormone concentrations as well as adiposity measures are independently associated with diastolic function in kidney transplant recipients. Whether adequate management of post transplantation anaemia, persistent secondary hyperparathyroidism and excess adiposity can prevent the development of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction in kidney transplant recipients merits further investigation.

Abstract
PURPOSE Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a cardiovascular complication highly prevalent in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Previous studies analyzing 1α-hydroxylase or vitamin D receptor (Vdr) knockout mice revealed active vitamin D as a promising agent inhibiting LVH progression. Paricalcitol, an active vitamin D analog, failed to suppress the progression of LV mass index (LVMI) in pre-dialysis patients with CKD. As target genes of activated VDR differ depending on its agonists, we examined the effects of maxacalcitol (22-oxacalcitriol: OCT), a less calcemic active vitamin D analog, on LVH in hemodialysis patients and animal LVH models with renal insufficiency. METHODS In retrospective cohort study, patients treated with OCT who underwent hemodialysis were enrolled. Using cardiac echocardiography, LV mass was evaluated by the area-length method. In animal study, angiotensin II (Ang II)-infused Wister rats with heminephrectomy or Ang II-stimulated neonatal rat ventricular myocytes (NRVM) were treated with OCT. RESULTS OCT significantly inhibited the progression of LVMI in hemodialysis patients. In Ang II-infused heminephrectomized rats, OCT suppressed the progression of LVH in a blood pressure-independent manner. OCT also suppressed the activity of calcineurin in the left ventricle of model rats. Specifically, OCT reduced the protein levels of calcineurin A, but not the mRNA levels of Ppp3ca (calcineurin Aα). Luciferase assays showed that OCT increased the promoter activity of Fbxo32 (atrogin1), an E3 ubiquitin ligase targeting calcineurin A. Finally, OCT promoted ubiquitination and degradation of calcineurin A. CONCLUSION Our works indicated that OCT retards progression of LVH through calcineurin-NFAT pathway, which reveal a novel aspect of OCT in attenuating pathological LVH.

Abstract
Background Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is associated with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with chronic kidney disease, and calcimimetic therapy reduces plasma concentrations of FGF23. It remains unknown whether treatment with the calcimimetic etelcalcetide (ETL) reduces LVH in patients on hemodialysis. Methods/design This single-blinded randomized trial of 12 months duration will test the effects of ETL compared with alfacalcidol on LVH and cardiac fibrosis in maintenance hemodialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism. Both treatment regimens will be titrated to equally suppress secondary hyperparathyroidism while alfacalcidol treatment causes an increase and ETL a decrease in FGF23, respectively. Patients treated thrice weekly with hemodialysis for ≥ 3 months and ≤ 3 years with parathyroid hormone levels ≥ 300 pg/ml and LVH will be enrolled in the study. The primary study endpoint is change from baseline to 12 months in left ventricular mass index (LVMI; g/m2) measured by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Sample size calculations showed that 62 randomized patients will be necessary to detect a difference in LVMI of at least 20 g/m2 between the two groups at 12 months. Due to the strong association of volume overload and LVH, randomization will be stratified by residual kidney function, and regular body composition monitoring will be performed to control the volume status of patients. Study medication will be administered intravenously by the dialysis nurses after every hemodialysis session, thus omitting adherence issues. Secondary study endpoints are cardiac parameters measured by echocardiography, biomarker concentrations of bone metabolism (FGF23, vitamin D, parathyroid hormone, calcium, phosphate, s-Klotho), cardiac markers (pro-brain natriuretic peptide, pre- and postdialysis troponin T) and metabolites of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone cascade (angiotensin I (Ang I), Ang II, Ang-(1–7), Ang-(1–5), Ang-(1–9), and aldosterone). Discussion The causal inference and pathophysiology of LVH regression by FGF23 reduction using calcimimetic treatment has not yet been shown. This intervention study has the potential to discover a new strategy for the treatment of cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis in patients on maintenance hemodialysis. It might be speculated that successful treatment of cardiac morphology will also reduce the risk of cardiac death in this population.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) co-exist, and it is estimated that about 50% of HF patients suffer from CKD. Although studies have been performed on the association between CKD and HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), less is known about the link between CKD and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Approximately, 50% of all patients with HF suffer from HFpEF, and this percentage is projected to rise in the coming years. Therapies for HFrEF are long established and considered quite successful. In contrast, clinical trials for treatment of HFpEF have all shown negative or disputable results. This is likely due to the multifactorial character and the lack of pathophysiological knowledge of HFpEF. The typical co-existence of HFpEF and CKD is partially due to common underlying comorbidities, such as hypertension, dyslipidemia and diabetes. Macrovascular changes accompanying CKD, such as hypertension and arterial stiffening, have been described to contribute to HFpEF development. Furthermore, several renal factors have a direct impact on the heart and/or coronary microvasculature and may underlie the association between CKD and HFpEF. These factors include: (1) activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, (2) anemia, (3) hypercalcemia, hyperphosphatemia and increased levels of FGF-23, and (4) uremic toxins. This review critically discusses the above factors, focusing on their potential contribution to coronary dysfunction, left ventricular stiffening, and delayed left ventricular relaxation. We further summarize the directions of novel treatment options for HFpEF based on the contribution of these renal drivers.

Effectiveness of cinacalcet treatment for secondary hyperparathyroidism on hospitalization: Results from the MBD-5D study. PLoS One 2019; 14:e0216399. [PMID: 31141505 PMCID: PMC6541241 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0216399] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2018] [Accepted: 04/20/2019] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To elucidate the effect of cinacalcet use on all-cause and cause-specific hospitalization outcomes using a prospective cohort of maintenance hemodialysis patients. METHODS We used data from a prospective cohort of Japanese hemodialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism and examined baseline characteristics as well as longitudinal changes. All patients were cinacalcet-naïve at study enrollment. Further, we used a marginal structural model to account for time-varying confounders on cinacalcet initiation and hospitalization outcomes, and an Andersen-Gill-type recurrent event model to account for any recurring events of hospitalization in the outcome analysis using the weighted dataset. RESULTS Among the 3,276 patients, cinacalcet treatment was initiated in 1,384 patients during the entire follow-up. Cinacalcet users were slightly younger, included more patients with chronic glomerulonephritis and fewer patients with diabetes, were more likely to have a history of parathyroidectomy, and were more often used receiving vitamin D receptor activator, phosphate binders, and iron supplements. The overall hospitalization analysis yielded a hazard ratio (HR) of 0.97 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.80, 1.18). A trend toward a mild protective association was observed for cardiovascular-related hospitalizations (HR: 0.85; 95% CI: 0.64, 1.14). In the subgroup analysis, a protective association was seen due to cinacalcet use for infection-related hospitalizations in the lowest intact parathyroid hormone group (HR: 0.36; 95% CI: 0.14, 0.95). CONCLUSIONS Cinacalcet initiation in patients on maintenance hemodialysis had no effect on all-cause and cause-specific hospitalizations. Although the overall association was statistically not significant, cinacalcet may have a protective association on cardiovascular-related hospitalization in all patients and infection-related hospitalization in patient with low intact parathyroid hormone.

Abstract
Background Vascular calcification (VC) is highly prevalent in dialysis (HD) patients, and its mechanism is multifactorial. Most likely that systemic or local inhibitory factor is overwhelmed by promoters of VC in these patients. VC increased arterial stiffness, and left ventricular hypertrophy. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the association of VC and myocardial remodeling and to analyze their relationship with VC promoters (fibroblast growth factor 23-FGF23, Klotho, intact parathormon-iPTH, vitamin D) in 56 prevalent HD patients (median values: age 54 yrs, HD vintage 82 months). Methods Besides routine laboratory analyzes, serum levels of FGF 23, soluble Klotho, iPTH, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3; pulse wave velocity (PWV); left ventricular (LV) mass by ultrasound; and VCs score by Adragao method were measured. Results VC was found in 60% and LV concentric or eccentric hypertrophy in 50% patients. Dialysis vintage (OR 1.025, 95%CI 1.007–1.044, p=0.006) FGF23 (OR 1.006, 95% CI 0.992–1.012, p=0.029) and serum magnesium (OR 0.000, 95%CI 0.000–0.214, p=0.04) were associated with VC. Changes in myocardial geometry was associated with male sex (beta=-0.273, 95% CI -23.967 1.513, p=0.027), iPTH (beta 0.029, 95%CI -0.059–0.001, p=0.027) and vitamin D treatment (beta 25.49, 95%CI 11.325–39.667, p=0.001). Also, patients with the more widespread VC had the highest LV remodeling categories. PWV was associated patient’s age, cholesterol, diastolic blood pressure, LV mass (positively) and serum calcium (negatively), indicating potential link with atherosclerotic risk. Conclusions Despite to different risk factors for VC and myocardial remodeling, obtained results could indicate that risk factors intertwine in long-term treatment of HD patients and therefore careful and continuous correction of mineral metabolism disorders is undoubtedly of the utmost importance.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases account for ~50% of mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is independently associated with endothelial dysfunction and cardiovascular mortality. We hypothesized that CKD impairs microvascular endothelial function and that this can be attributed to FGF23. Mice were subjected to partial nephrectomy (5/6Nx) or sham surgery. To evaluate the functional role of FGF23, non-CKD mice received FGF23 injections and CKD mice received FGF23-blocking antibodies after 5/6Nx surgery. To examine microvascular function, myocardial perfusion in vivo and vascular function of gracilis resistance arteries ex vivo were assessed in mice. 5/6Nx surgery blunted ex vivo vasodilator responses to acetylcholine, whereas responses to sodium nitroprusside or endothelin were normal. In vivo FGF23 injections in non-CKD mice mimicked this endothelial defect, and FGF23 antibodies in 5/6Nx mice prevented endothelial dysfunction. Stimulation of microvascular endothelial cells with FGF23 in vitro did not induce ERK phosphorylation. Increased plasma asymmetric dimethylarginine concentrations were increased by FGF23 and strongly correlated with endothelial dysfunction. Increased FGF23 concentration did not mimic impaired endothelial function in the myocardium of 5/6Nx mice. In conclusion, impaired peripheral endothelium-dependent vasodilatation in 5/6Nx mice is mediated by FGF23 and can be prevented by blocking FGF23. These data corroborate FGF23 as an important target to combat cardiovascular disease in CKD. NEW & NOTEWORTHY In the present study, we provide the first evidence that fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a cause of peripheral endothelial dysfunction in a model of early chronic kidney disease (CKD) and that endothelial dysfunction in CKD can be prevented by blockade of FGF23. This pathological effect on endothelial cells was induced by long-term exposure of physiological levels of FGF23. Mechanistically, increased plasma asymmetric dimethylarginine concentrations were strongly associated with this endothelial dysfunction in CKD and were increased by FGF23.

Abstract
Drug-induced kidney injury in medicinal compound development accounts for over 20% of clinical trial failures and involves damage to different nephron segments, mostly the proximal tubule. Yet, currently applied cell models fail to reliably predict nephrotoxicity; neither are such models easy to establish. Here, we developed a novel three-dimensional (3D) nephrotoxicity platform on the basis of decellularized rat kidney scaffolds (DS) recellularized with conditionally immortalized human renal proximal tubule epithelial cells overexpressing the organic anion transporter 1 (ciPTEC-OAT1). A 5-day SDS-based decellularization protocol was used to generate DS, of which 100-μm slices were cut and used for cell seeding. After 8 days of culturing, recellularized scaffolds (RS) demonstrated 3D-tubule formation along with tubular epithelial characteristics, including drug transporter function. Exposure of RS to cisplatin (CDDP), tenofovir (TFV), or cyclosporin A (CsA) as prototypical nephrotoxic drugs revealed concentration-dependent reduction in cell viability, as assessed by PrestoBlue and Live/Dead staining assays. This was most probably attributable to specific uptake of CDDP by the organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2), TFV through organic anion transporter 1 (OAT1), and CsA competing for P-glycoprotein-mediated efflux. Compared with 2D cultures, RS showed an increased sensitivity to cisplatin and tenofovir toxicity after 24-hour exposure (9 and 2.2 fold, respectively). In conclusion, we developed a physiologically relevant 3D nephrotoxicity screening platform that could be a novel tool in drug development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Oxidative stress is one of the leading factors contributing to increased mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and secondary hyperparathyroidism (sHPT). Cinacalcet is now commonly used in the treatment of sHPT in patients with CKD. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of treatment with cinacalcet on the oxidative stress markers in patients on hemodialysis with sHPT. METHODS In 58 hemodialysed patients with sHPT (parathyroid hormone [PTH] > 300 pg/mL) plasma Advanced Oxidation Protein Products (AOPP), serum total antioxidant capacity - ImAnOx (TAS/TAC), serum PTH, calcium and phosphate concentrations were assessed before the first dose of cinacalcet and after 6 months of treatment. RESULTS Serum PTH concentration decreased significantly from 895 (748-1,070) to 384 (289-510) pg/mL after 6 months of treatment; p < 0.0001. Mean serum concentrations of -calcium and phosphate remained stable. Plasma AOPP concentration decreased significantly from 152 (126-185) to 49 -(43-57) µmol/L after 6 months of treatment; p < 0.0001. ImAnOx significantly increased from 260 (251-270) to 272 (264-280) µmol/L; p = 0.04. After 6 months of treatment, a significant, positive correlation was found between ImAnOx and the daily dose of cinacalcet (r = 0.30; p = 0.02). Also, the change of serum ImAnOx during treatment with cinacalcet significantly correlated with the daily dose of cinacalcet r = 0.35; p = 0.01. No significant correlations were found between plasma AOPP concentration or ImAnOx and PTH, or their changes in time. CONCLUSIONS (1) Six-month treatment based on cinacalcet seems to reduce oxidative stress markers in maintenance hemodialysis patients with sHPT. (2) This benefit may be related rather to the direct action of cinacalcet than to the serum PTH concentration decrease.

Abstract
Although parathyroid hormone is known to be related with calcium and phosphate metabolism, it has been also reported to have several effects on the cardiovascular system including heart and vessels. However, the detailed pathophysiological mechanisms remain unclear. Clinical studies have indicated that parathyroid hormone is associated with cardiovascular events and mortality not only in patients with chronic kidney disease but also in those without chronic kidney disease. As a possible mechanism, it is thought that parathyroid hormone is associated with the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and has direct effects on the cardiovascular system. Therefore, we should pay attention to not only the control of serum phosphate and calcium levels but also the control of serum parathyroid hormone levels, especially in patients with chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
The mineral bone disorder of CKD, called Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral and Bone Disorder (CKD-MBD), has a major role in the etiology and progression of cardiovascular disease in CKD patients. Since the main emphasis in CKD-MBD is on three categories (bone abnormalities, laboratory abnormalities, and vascular calcifications), we have routinely accepted ectopic cardiovascular calcifications as a central risk factor in the pathophysiology of CKD-MBD for cardiac events. However, recent compelling evidence suggests that some CKD-MBD-specific factors other than vascular calcification might contribute to the onset of cardiovascular disease. Most notable is fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23), which is thought to be independently associated with cardiac remodeling. Slow progression of cardiac disorders, such as vascular calcification and cardiac remodeling, characterizes cardiac disease due to CKD-MBD. In contrast, fatal arrhythmia may be induced when QT prolongation occurs with CKD-MBD treatment, such as with lower Ca dialysate or the use of calcimimetics. Sudden onset of fatal cardiac events, such as heart failure and sudden cardiac death, due to fatal arrhythmia would be another distinctive phenomenon of CKD-MBD. This may be defined as CKD-MBD-specific cardiac complex syndrome.

Abstract
Persistent infections of biofilm forming bacteria, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, are common among human populations, due to the bacterial resistance to antibiotics and other adaptation strategies, including release of cytotoxic virulent factors such as pigment pyocyanin (PCN). Urinary tract infections harbor P. aeruginosa strains characterized by the highest PCN-producing capacity, yet no information is available on PCN cytotoxicity mechanism in kidney. We report here that renal tubular epithelial cell (RTEC) line NRK-52E responds to PCN treatments with paraptosis-like activity features. Specifically, PCN-treated cells experienced dilation of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and an extensive development of ER-derived vacuoles after about 8 h. This process was accompanied with hyper-activation of proteotoxic stress-inducible transcription factors Nrf2, ATF6, and HSF-1. The cells could be rescued by withdrawal of PCN from the culture media before the vacuoles burst and cells die of non-programmed necrosis after about 24–30 h. The paraptosis-like activity was abrogated by co-treatment of the cells with metal-chelating antioxidants. A microscopic examination of cells co-treated with PCN and agents aiming at a variety of the cellular stress mediators and pathways have identified iron as a single most significant co-factor of the PCN cytotoxicity in the RTECs. Among biologically relevant metal ions, low micromolar Fe2+ specifically mediated anaerobic oxidation of glutathione by PCN, but catechol derivatives and other strong iron complexing agents could inhibit the reaction. Our data suggest that iron chelation could be considered as a supplementary treatment in the PCN-positive infections.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with kidney disease have disordered bone and mineral metabolism, including elevated serum concentrations of fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23). These elevated concentrations are associated with cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. The objective was to determine the effects of the calcimimetic cinacalcet (versus placebo) on reducing serum FGF23 and whether changes in FGF23 are associated with death and cardiovascular events. METHODS AND RESULTS This was a secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial comparing cinacalcet to placebo in addition to conventional therapy (phosphate binders/vitamin D) in patients receiving hemodialysis with secondary hyperparathyroidism (intact parathyroid hormone ≥300 pg/mL). The primary study end point was time to death or a first nonfatal cardiovascular event (myocardial infarction, hospitalization for angina, heart failure, or a peripheral vascular event). This analysis included 2985 patients (77% of randomized) with serum samples at baseline and 2602 patients (67%) with samples at both baseline and week 20. The results demonstrated that a significantly larger proportion of patients randomized to cinacalcet had ≥30% (68% versus 28%) reductions in FGF23. Among patients randomized to cinacalcet, a ≥30% reduction in FGF23 between baseline and week 20 was associated with a nominally significant reduction in the primary composite end point (relative hazard, 0.82; 95% confidence interval, 0.69-0.98), cardiovascular mortality (relative hazard, 0.66; 95% confidence interval, 0.50-0.87), sudden cardiac death (relative hazard, 0.57; 95% confidence interval, 0.37-0.86), and heart failure (relative hazard, 0.69; 95% confidence interval, 0.48-0.99). CONCLUSIONS Treatment with cinacalcet significantly lowers serum FGF23. Treatment-induced reductions in serum FGF23 are associated with lower rates of cardiovascular death and major cardiovascular events. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by high cardiovascular morbidity/mortality, which is linked in part to vascular calcification (VC) and endothelial dysfunction (ED). Hyperphosphatemia, a feature of CKD, is a well-known inducer of VC in preclinical models and is associated with poor outcomes in epidemiological studies. However, it remains to be seen whether lowering phosphate levels in CKD patients reduces VC and the morbidity/mortality rate. Furthermore, it is now clear from preclinical and clinical studies that phosphate is involved in ED. The present article reviews the direct and indirect mechanisms (eg, via fibroblast growth factor 23 and/or parathyroid hormone) by which hyperphosphatemia influence the onset of VC and ED in CKD.

Abstract
Compound heterozygous and homozygous (comp/hom) mutations in solute carrier family 34, member 3 (SLC34A3), the gene encoding the sodium (Na(+))-dependent phosphate cotransporter 2c (NPT2c), cause hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets with hypercalciuria (HHRH), a disorder characterized by renal phosphate wasting resulting in hypophosphatemia, correspondingly elevated 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D levels, hypercalciuria, and rickets/osteomalacia. Similar, albeit less severe, biochemical changes are observed in heterozygous (het) carriers and indistinguishable from those changes encountered in idiopathic hypercalciuria (IH). Here, we report a review of clinical and laboratory records of 133 individuals from 27 kindreds, including 5 previously unreported HHRH kindreds and two cases with IH, in which known and novel SLC34A3 mutations (c.1357delTTC [p.F453del]; c.G1369A [p.G457S]; c.367delC) were identified. Individuals with mutations affecting both SLC34A3 alleles had a significantly increased risk of kidney stone formation or medullary nephrocalcinosis, namely 46% compared with 6% observed in healthy family members carrying only the wild-type SLC34A3 allele (P=0.005) or 5.64% in the general population (P<0.001). Renal calcifications were also more frequent in het carriers (16%; P=0.003 compared with the general population) and were more likely to occur in comp/hom and het individuals with decreased serum phosphate (odds ratio [OR], 0.75, 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 0.59 to 0.96; P=0.02), decreased tubular reabsorption of phosphate (OR, 0.41; 95% CI, 0.23 to 0.72; P=0.002), and increased serum 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D (OR, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.05 to 1.41; P=0.008). Additional studies are needed to determine whether these biochemical parameters are independent of genotype and can guide therapy to prevent nephrocalcinosis, nephrolithiasis, and potentially, CKD.

Abstract
Elevated serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) is an important complicated phenomenon in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Emerging evidence indicates the involvement of PTH in organ fibrosis, and suppression of PTH by cinacalcet (CINA) ameliorates the progression of fibrotic disorders. However, the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. The endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) has been shown to be an important mechanism involved in renal fibrosis. The present study aimed to investigate whether CINA treatment attenuated renal EndMT in rats with adenine-induced chronic renal failure (CRF). Compared with the control group, serum PTH was significantly higher in the CRF group and was suppressed after CINA treatment. Serum calcium, phosphorus, and calcium × phosphorus product levels were similar in the CRF group and CINA-treated CRF group. Renal collagen accumulation was significantly increased in the CRF group, which was markedly ameliorated by CINA treatment. Expression of the endothelial marker CD31 was significantly downregulated in rats with CRF, whereas expression of the mesenchymal markers fibroblast specific-protein 1 and α-smooth muscle actin was markedly upregulated. These changes were inhibited by CINA treatment. The protein levels of these EndMT-related markers were strongly correlated with serum PTH concentrations. Furthermore, the in vitro study showed that PTH could significantly increase the expression of fibroblast specific-protein 1 and α-smooth muscle actin and decrease CD31 in mRNA and protein levels in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. In conclusion, our study suggests that reducing serum PTH by CINA treatment could attenuate renal fibrosis via suppression of EndMT in the adenine-induced CRF rat model.
