Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) was identified at the turn of the century as the long-sought circulating phosphatonin in human pathology. Since then, several clinical and experimental studies have investigated the metabolism of FGF23 and revealed its relevant pathogenic role in various diseases. Most of these studies have been performed in adult individuals. However, the mineral metabolism of the child is, to a large extent, different from that of the adult because, in addition to bone remodeling, the child undergoes a specific process of endochondral ossification responsible for adequate mineralization of long bones’ metaphysis and growth in height. Vitamin D metabolism is known to be deeply involved in these processes. FGF23 might have an influence on bones’ growth as well as on the high and age-dependent serum phosphate concentrations found in infancy and childhood. However, the interaction between FGF23 and vitamin D in children is largely unknown. Thus, this review focuses on the following aspects of FGF23 metabolism in the pediatric age: circulating concentrations’ reference values, as well as those of other major variables involved in mineral homeostasis, and the relationship with vitamin D metabolism in the neonatal period, in vitamin D deficiency, in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and in hypophosphatemic disorders.

Abstract
Endocrine and paracrine fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a protein predominantly produced by bone cells with strong impact on phosphate and vitamin D metabolism by targeting the kidney. Plasma FGF23 concentration early rises in kidney and cardiovascular diseases correlating with progression and outcome. Lactic acid is generated in anaerobic glycolysis. Lactic acidosis is the consequence of various physiological and pathological conditions and may be fatal. Since FGF23 production is stimulated by inflammation and lactic acid induces pro-inflammatory signaling, we investigated whether and how lactic acid influences FGF23. Experiments were performed in UMR106 osteoblast-like cells, Fgf23 mRNA levels estimated from quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, and FGF23 protein determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Lactic acid dose-dependently induced Fgf23 gene expression and up-regulated FGF23 synthesis. Also, Na+-lactate as well as formic acid and acetic acid up-regulated Fgf23. The lactic acid effect was significantly attenuated by nuclear factor kappa-light-chain enhancer of activated B-cells (NFκB) inhibitors wogonin and withaferin A. Lactic acid induces FGF23 production, an effect at least in part mediated by NFκB. Lactic acidosis may, therefore, be paralleled by a surge in plasma FGF23.

Abstract
Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with CKD or end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) have unique medical, dental, psychosocial, neurocognitive, and academic needs and require close interdisciplinary collaboration to optimize their care. The etiology of CKD in AYAs is diverse compared to older adults. With their continuously improved survival, AYAs must start preparation for health-care transition (HCT) from pediatric- to adult-focused health care in the pediatric setting and it must continue at the adult-focused setting, given that their brain maturation and self-management skill acquisition occur until their mid-20s. While the growth and physical maturation of most visible body parts occur before 18 years of age, the prefrontal cortex of the brain, where reasoning, impulse control, and other higher executive functions reside, matures around 25 years of age. The HCT process must be monitored using patient- and caregiver-measuring tools to guide interventions. The HCT process becomes more complex when patients and/or caregivers have a language barrier, different cultural beliefs, or lower literacy levels. In this article, we discuss the unique comorbidities of pediatric-onset CKD/ESKD, provide information for a planned HCT preparation, and suggest interdisciplinary coordination as well as cultural and literacy-appropriate activities to achieve optimal patient outcomes.

ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2020; 57:medicina57010015. [PMID: 33379157 PMCID: PMC7823813 DOI: 10.3390/medicina57010015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2020] [Revised: 12/21/2020] [Accepted: 12/22/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Background and objectives: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) in children is a complex medical and social issue around the world. One of the serious complications is mineral-bone disorder (CKD-MBD) which might determine the prognosis of patients and their quality of life. Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) is a phosphaturic hormone which is involved in the pathogenesis of CKD-MBD. The purpose of the study was to determine what comes first in children with CKD: FGF-23 or phosphate. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study included 73 children aged 2-18 years with CKD stages 1-5. We measured FGF-23 and other bone markers in blood samples and studied their associations. Results: Early elevations of FGF-23 were identified in children with CKD stage 2 compared with stage 1 (1.6 (1.5-1.8) pmol/L versus 0.65 (0.22-1.08), p = 0.029). There were significant differences between the advanced stages of the disease. FGF-23 correlated with PTH (r = 0.807, p = 0.000) and phosphate (r = 0.473, p = 0.000). Our study revealed that the elevated level of FGF-23 went ahead hyperphosphatemia and elevated PTH. Thus, more than 50% of children with CKD stage 2 had the elevating level of serum FGF-23, and that index became increasing with the disease progression and it achieved 100% at the dialysis stage. The serum phosphate increased more slowly and only 70.6% of children with CKD stage 5 had the increased values. The PTH increase was more dynamic. Conclusions: FGF-23 is an essential biomarker, elevates long before other markers of bone metabolism (phosphate), and might represent a clinical course of disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE HIV-positive children, adolescents, and young adults are at increased risk poor musculoskeletal outcomes. Increased incidence of vitamin D deficiency in youth living with HIV may further adversely affect musculoskeletal health. We investigated the impact of vitamin D supplementation on a range of musculoskeletal outcomes among individuals aged 0-25 years living with HIV. METHODS A systematic review was conducted using databases: PubMed/Medline, CINAHL, Web of Knowledge, and EMBASE. Interventional randomised control trials, quasi-experimental trials, and previous systematic reviews/meta-analyses were included. Outcomes included: BMD, BMC, fracture incidence, muscle strength, linear growth (height-for-age Z-score [HAZ]), and biochemical/endocrine biomarkers including bone turnover markers. RESULTS Of 497 records, 20 studies met inclusion criteria. Thirteen studies were conducted in North America, one in Asia, two in Europe, and four in Sub-Saharan Africa. High-dose vitamin D supplementation regimens (1,000-7,000 IU/day) were successful in achieving serum 25-hydroxyvitamin-D (25OHD) concentrations above study-defined thresholds. No improvements were observed in BMD, BMC, or in muscle power, force and strength; however, improvements in neuromuscular motor skills were demonstrated. HAZ was unaffected by low-dose (200-400 IU/day) supplementation. A single study found positive effects on HAZ with high-dose supplementation (7,000 vs 4,000IU/day). CONCLUSIONS Measured bone outcomes were unaffected by high-dose vitamin D supplementation, even when target 25OHD measurements were achieved. This may be due to: insufficient sample size, follow-up, intermittent dosing, non-standardised definitions of vitamin D deficiency, or heterogeneity of enrolment criteria pertaining to baseline vitamin D concentration. High-dose vitamin D may improve HAZ and neuromuscular motor skills. Adequately powered trials are needed in settings where HIV burden is greatest. PROSPERO Number: CRD42016042938.
