Abstract
Klotho regulates many pathways in the aging process, but it remains unclear how it is physiologically regulated. Because Klotho is synthesized, cleaved, and released from the kidney; activates the chief urinary K+ secretion channel (ROMK) and stimulates urinary K+ secretion, we explored if Klotho protein is regulated by dietary K+ and the potassium-regulatory hormone, Aldosterone. Klotho protein along the nephron was evaluated in humans and in wild-type (WT) mice; and in mice lacking components of Aldosterone signaling, including the Aldosterone-Synthase KO (AS-KO) and the Mineralocorticoid-Receptor KO (MR-KO) mice. We found the specific cells of the distal nephron in humans and mice that are chief sites of regulated K+ secretion have the highest Klotho protein expression along the nephron. WT mice fed K+-rich diets increased Klotho expression in these cells. AS-KO mice exhibit normal Klotho under basal conditions but could not upregulate Klotho in response to high-K+ intake in the K+-secreting cells. Similarly, MR-KO mice exhibit decreased Klotho protein expression. Together, i) Klotho is highly expressed in the key sites of regulated K+ secretion in humans and mice, ii) In mice, K+-rich diets increase Klotho expression specifically in the potassium secretory cells of the distal nephron, iii) Aldosterone signaling is required for Klotho response to high K+ intake.

Abstract
Transcription enhancers are genomic sequences regulating common and tissue-specific genes and their disruption can contribute to human disease development and progression. Klotho, a sexually dimorphic gene specifically expressed in kidney, is well-linked to kidney dysfunction and its deletion from the mouse genome leads to premature aging and death. However, the sexually dimorphic regulation of Klotho is not understood. Here, we characterize two candidate Klotho enhancers using H3K27ac epigenetic marks and transcription factor binding and investigate their functions, individually and combined, through CRISPR-Cas9 genome engineering. We discovered that only the distal (E1), but not the proximal (E2) candidate region constitutes a functional enhancer, with the double deletion not causing Klotho expression to further decrease. E1 activity is dependent on HNF1b transcription factor binding site within the enhancer. Further, E1 controls the sexual dimorphism of Klotho as evidenced by qPCR and RNA-seq. Despite the sharp reduction of Klotho mRNA, unlike germline Klotho knockouts, mutant mice presented normal phenotype, including weight, lifespan, and serum biochemistry. Lastly, only males lacking E1 display more prominent acute, but not chronic kidney injury responses, indicating a remarkable range of potential adaptation to isolated Klotho loss, especially in female E1 knockouts, retaining renoprotection despite over 80% Klotho reduction.

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

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) has been casually linked to numerous hypophosphatemic bone diseases, however connection with bone loss or fragility fractures is still a matter of debate. The purpose of this review is to explore and summarise the known actions of FGF23 in various pathological bone conditions. Besides implication in bone mineralisation, elevated FGF23 showed a pathological effecton bone remodelling, primarily by inhibiting osteoblast function. Unlike the weak association with bone mineral density, high values of FGF23 have been connected with fragility fracture prevalence. This review shows that its effects on bone are concomitantly present on multiple levels, affecting both qualitative and quantitative part of bone strength, eventually leading to impaired bone strength and increased tendency of fractures. Recognising FGF23 as a risk factor for the development of bone diseases and correcting its levels could lead to the reduction of morbidity and mortality in specific groups of patients.

Abstract
The nuclear vitamin D receptor (VDR) mediates the actions of its physiologic 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25D) ligand produced in kidney and at extrarenal sites during times of physiologic and cellular stress. The ligand-receptor complex transcriptionally controls genes encoding factors that regulate calcium and phosphate sensing/transport, bone remodeling, immune function, and nervous system maintenance. With the aid of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), 1,25D/VDR primarily participates in an intricate network of feedback controls that govern extracellular calcium and phosphate concentrations, mainly influencing bone formation and mineralization, ectopic calcification, and indirectly supporting many fundamental roles of calcium. Beyond endocrine and intracrine effects, 1,25D/VDR signaling impacts multiple biochemical phenomena that potentially affect human health and disease, including autophagy, carcinogenesis, cell growth/differentiation, detoxification, metabolic homeostasis, and oxidative stress mitigation. Several health advantages conferred by 1,25D/VDR appear to be promulgated by induction of klotho, an anti-aging renal peptide hormone which functions as a co-receptor for FGF23 and, like 1,25D, regulates nrf2, foxo, mTOR and other cellular protective pathways. Among hundreds of genes for which expression is modulated by 1,25D/VDR either primarily or secondarily in a cell-specific manner, the resulting gene products (in addition to those expressed in the classic skeletal mineral regulatory tissues kidney, intestine, and bone), fall into multiple biochemical categories including apoptosis, cholesterol homeostasis, glycolysis, hypoxia, inflammation, p53 signaling, unfolded protein response and xenobiotic metabolism. Thus, 1,25D/VDR is a bone mineral control instrument that also signals the maintenance of multiple cellular processes in the face of environmental and genetic challenges.

Modulation of fibroblast growth factor-23 expression and transepithelial calcium absorption in Caco-2 monolayer by calcium-sensing receptor and calcineurin under calcium hyperabsorptive state. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2023; 659:105-112.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-23 and calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) have previously been postulated to be parts of a negative feedback regulation of the intestinal calcium absorption to prevent excessive calcium uptake and its toxicity. However, the underlying mechanism of this feedback regulation remained elusive, especially whether it required transcription of FGF-23. Herein, we induced calcium hyperabsorptive state (CHS) by exposing intestinal epithelium-like Caco-2 monolayer to 30 mM CaCl2 and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3] after which FGF-23 mRNA levels and transepithelial calcium flux were determined. We found that CHS upregulated FGF-23 transcription, which was reverted by CaSR inhibitors (Calhex-231 and NPS2143) but without effect on CaSR transcription. Although 10 nM 1,25(OH)2D3 was capable of enhancing transepithelial calcium flux, the higher-than-normal calcium inundation as in CHS led to a decrease in calcium flux, consistent with an increase in FGF-23 protein expression. Administration of inhibitors (≤10 μM CN585 and cyclosporin A) of calcineurin, a mediator of CaSR action to control transcription and production of its target proteins, was found to partially prevent FGF-23 protein production and the negative effect of CHS on calcium transport, while having no effect on FGF-23 mRNA expression. Direct exposure to FGF-23, but not FGF-23 + PD173074 (FGFR1/3 inhibitor), also completely abolished the 1,25(OH)2D3-enhanced calcium transport in Caco-2 monolayer. Nevertheless, CHS and CaSR inhibitors had no effect on the mRNA levels of calcineurin (PPP3CB) or its targets (i.e., NFATc1-4). In conclusion, exposure to CHS induced by high apical calcium and 1,25(OH)2D3 triggered a negative feedback mechanism to prevent further calcium uptake. CaSR and its downstream mediator, calcineurin, possibly contributed to the regulatory process, in part by enhancing FGF-23 production to inhibit calcium transport. Our study, therefore, corroborated the physiological significance of CaSR-autocrine FGF-23 axis as a local feedback loop for prevention of excessive calcium uptake.

Abstract
αKlotho (Klotho) has well established renoprotective effects; however, the molecular pathways mediating its glomerular protection remain incompletely understood. Recent studies have reported that Klotho is expressed in podocytes and protects glomeruli through auto- and paracrine effects. Here, we examined renal expression of Klotho in detail and explored its protective effects in podocyte-specific Klotho knockout mice, and by overexpressing human Klotho in podocytes and hepatocytes. We demonstrate that Klotho is not significantly expressed in podocytes, and transgenic mice with either a targeted deletion or overexpression of Klotho in podocytes lack a glomerular phenotype and have no altered susceptibility to glomerular injury. In contrast, mice with hepatocyte-specific overexpression of Klotho have high circulating levels of soluble Klotho, and when challenged with nephrotoxic serum have less albuminuria and less severe kidney injury compared to wildtype mice. RNA-seq analysis suggests an adaptive response to increased endoplasmic reticulum stress as a putative mechanism of action. To evaluate the clinical relevance of our findings, the results were validated in patients with diabetic nephropathy, and in precision cut kidney slices from human nephrectomies. Together, our data reveal that the glomeruloprotective effects of Klotho is mediated via endocrine actions, which increases its therapeutic potential for patients with glomerular diseases.

Abstract
Background and aim The Healthy Eating Index (HEI) is a dietary index developed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to determine whether a diet adheres to US dietary guidelines. Soluble Klotho (S-Klotho) is a protein with essential anti-aging properties. However, whether HEI is linked to S-Klotho plasma levels is still debatable. This study aimed to assess the association between HEI-2015 and S-Klotho in middle-to-older aged adults in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2007 to 2016. Methods The study included 8456 middle-to-older aged (40-79 years old) participants. Multivariate regression models were used to estimate the correlation between HEI-2015 and S-Klotho concentrations. General additive models and two-piece-wise regression models were used to investigate the possible non-linear relationships between HEI-2015 and S-Klotho concentrations. Moreover, a stratified analysis of potential influencing factors was performed. Results A positive correlation was observed between HEI-2015 and S-Klotho plasma levels (β = 0.74, 95% CI: 0.21, 1.27, P = 0.0067). According to the two-piece-wise regression, the turning point of HEI-2015 was 45.15. When the range of HEI-2015 was from 0 to 45.15, the relationship between HEI and S-Klotho was insignificant (β = -0.87, 95% CI: -2.47, 0.73, P = 0.2858). However, when the range of HEI-2015 was from 45.15 to 100, HEI-2015 increased by 1 unit, the S-Klotho increased by 1.30 pg/ml (β = 1.30, 95% CI: 0.55, 2.05, P = 0.0007), suggesting a dose-response relationship. Furthermore, the stratified analysis showed that the association between HEI-2015 and S-Klotho concentrations was more significant in people with normal body mass index (P-interaction = 0.0161). Conclusion There is a dose-response relationship between the HEI-2015 and S-Klotho in the middle-to-older aged adults. This relationship suggests that adherence to healthy dietary patterns may benefit the prevention of aging and health maintenance. The underlying mechanisms require further investigation.

FGF-23 protects cell function and viability in murine pancreatic islets challenged by glucolipotoxicity. Pflugers Arch 2023; 475:309-322.

Abstract
The fibroblast growth factor FGF-23 is a member of the FGF-15/19 subfamily with hormonal functions. Besides its well-known role for bone mineralization, FGF-23 is discussed as a marker for cardiovascular disease. We investigated whether FGF-23 has any effects on the endocrine pancreas of mice by determining insulin secretion, electrical activity, intracellular Ca2+, and apoptosis. Acute application of FGF-23 (10 to 500 ng/ml, i.e., 0.4 to 20 nM) does not affect insulin release of murine islets, while prolonged exposure leads to a 21% decrease in glucose-stimulated secretion. The present study shows for the first time that FGF-23 (100 or 500 ng/ml) partially protects against impairment of insulin secretion and apoptotic cell death induced by glucolipotoxicity. The reduction of apoptosis by FGF-23 is approximately twofold higher compared to FGF-21 or FGF-15/19. In contrast to FGF-23 and FGF-21, FGF-15/19 is clearly pro-apoptotic under control conditions. The beneficial effect of FGF-23 against glucolipotoxicity involves interactions with the stimulus-secretion cascade of beta-cells. Electrical activity and the rise in the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration of islets in response to acute glucose stimulation increase after glucolipotoxic culture (48 h). Co-culture with FGF-23 further elevates the glucose-mediated effects on both parameters. Protection against apoptosis and glucolipotoxic impairment of insulin release by FGF-23 is prevented, when calcineurin is inhibited by tacrolimus or when c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) is blocked by SP600125. In conclusion, our data suggest that FGF-23 can activate compensatory mechanisms to maintain beta-cell function and integrity of islets of Langerhans during excessive glucose and lipid supply.

Abstract
Osteocytes are dendritic-shaped cells embedded in the bone matrix and are terminally differentiated from osteoblasts. Inaccessibility due to their location has hindered the understanding of the molecular functions of osteocytes. However, scientific advances in the past few decades have revealed that osteocytes play critical roles in bone and mineral metabolism through their paracrine and endocrine functions. Sclerostin produced by osteocytes regulates bone formation and resorption by inhibiting Wnt/β-catenin signaling in osteoblast-lineage cells. Receptor activator of nuclear factor κ B ligand (RANKL) derived from osteocytes is essential for osteoclastogenesis and osteoclast activation during postnatal life. Osteocytes also secrete fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), an endocrine FGF that regulates phosphate metabolism mainly by increasing phosphate excretion and decreasing 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D production in the kidneys. The regulation of FGF23 production in osteocytes is complex and multifactorial, involving many local and systemic regulators. Antibodies against sclerostin, RANKL, and FGF23 have emerged as new strategies for the treatment of metabolic bone diseases. Improved undrstanding of the paracrine and endocrine functions of osteocytes will provide insight into future therapeutic options.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Phosphate is crucial for cell signaling, energy metabolism, nucleotide synthesis, and bone mineralization. The gut-bone-parathyroid-kidney axis is influenced by parathyroid hormone, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, and phosphatonins, especially fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23). These hormones facilitate maintenance of phosphate homeostasis. This review summarizes current knowledge regarding the phosphate homeostasis, phosphatonin pathophysiology, and clinical implications of FGF23-related hypophosphatemic disorders, with specific focus on burosumab treatment. METHOD A focused literature search of PubMed was conducted. RESULTS Phosphatonins including FGF23, secreted frizzled-related protein 4, matrix extracellular phosphoglycoprotein, and fibroblast growth factor 7 play a pathogenic role in several hypophosphatemic disorders. Excess FGF23 inhibits sodium-dependent phosphate cotransporters (NaPi-2a and NaPi-2c), resulting in hyperphosphaturia and hypophosphatemia. Additionally, FGF23 suppresses 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D synthesis in the proximal renal tubule, and thus, it indirectly inhibits intestinal phosphate absorption. Disorders of FGF23-related hypophosphatemia include X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH), autosomal dominant hypophosphatemic rickets, autosomal recessive hypophosphatemic rickets, fibrous dysplasia/McCune-Albright syndrome, and tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO). Complications of conventional therapy with oral phosphate and vitamin D analogs comprise gastrointestinal distress, hypercalcemia, nephrocalcinosis, and secondary/tertiary hyperparathyroidism. In both children and adults with XLH and TIO, the anti-FGF23 antibody burosumab exhibits a favorable safety profile and is associated with healing of rickets in affected children and improvement of osteomalacia in both children and adults. CONCLUSION The treatment paradigm for XLH and TIO is changing based on data from recent clinical trials. Research suggest that burosumab is effective and safe for pediatric and adult patients with XLH or TIO.

Hyperparathyroidism in a Large Cohort of Chinese Patients with Tumor-Induced Osteomalacia. J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2022; 108:1224-1235. [PMID: 36334263 DOI: 10.1210/clinem/dgac650] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2022] [Revised: 11/01/2022] [Accepted: 11/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/08/2022]
Abstract
CONTEXT Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome caused by excessive production of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) by a tumor. Hyperparathyroidism (HPT) including secondary HPT (SHPT) and tertiary HPT (THPT) in TIO patients, which is considered to associate with phosphate supplementation, has not been well documented. OBJECTIVES To clarify the prevalence, clinical characteristics, and risk factors for HPT in a large cohort of Chinese TIO patients in our hospital. DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS This retrospective study enrolled 202 TIO patients. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS Occurrence of HPT in TIO patients. RESULTS HPT was observed in 91 patients (91/202, 45.1%), as 84 patients (41.6%) were diagnosed as SHPT and seven patients (3.5%) were diagnosed as THPT. All patients with THPT underwent parathyroidectomy and only one patient experienced recurrence. Compared with patients without HPT, patients with SHPT had longer disease duration, higher rate of phosphate and calcitriol supplementation, lower serum calcium, lower urine calcium excretion, and higher urine phosphate excretion. Compared with patients with SHPT, patients with THPT had even longer disease duration, higher rate of phosphate and calcitriol supplementation. PTH levels showed positive correlation with intact FGF23 and 1,25(OH)2D levels, but not 25OHD level in TIO patients. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that long disease duration and phosphate supplementation were independently associated with occurrence of HPT in TIO patients. Further logistic regression analysis and restricted cubic spline model revealed dose-response relationship between cumulative dose of phosphate supplementation and PTH levels. CONCLUSIONS HPT is common in our TIO patients. To avoid the occurrence of HPT in TIO patients, timely diagnosis and tumor resection is necessary, and excessive dose of phosphate supplementation is not suggested before surgery.

Abstract
Klotho is an identified longevity gene with beneficial pleiotropic effects on the kidney. Evidence shows that a decline in serum Klotho level occurs in early chronic kidney disease (CKD) and continues as CKD progresses. Klotho deficiency is associated with poor clinical outcomes and CKD mineral bone disorders (CKD-MBD). Klotho has been postulated as a candidate biomarker in the evaluation of CKD. However, the evidence for the clinical significance of the relationship between Klotho and kidney function, CKD stage, adverse kidney and/or non-kidney outcomes, and CKD-MBD remains inconsistent and in some areas, contradictory. Therefore, there is uncertainty as to whether Klotho is a potential biomarker in CKD; a general consensus regarding the clinical significance of Klotho in CKD has not been reached, and there is limited evidence synthesis in this area. To address this, we have systematically assessed the areas of controversy, focusing on the inconsistencies in the evidence base. We used a PICOM strategy to search for relevant studies and the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale scoring to evaluate included publications. We reviewed the inconsistent clinical findings based on the relationship of Klotho with CKD stage, kidney and/or non-kidney adverse outcomes, and CKD-MBD in human studies. Subsequently, we assessed the underlying sources of the controversies and highlighted future directions to resolve these inconsistencies and clarify whether Klotho has a role as a biomarker in clinical practice in CKD.

The Mediation Effect of Peripheral Biomarkers of Calcium Metabolism and Chronotypes in Bipolar Disorder Psychopathology. Metabolites 2022; 12:metabo12090827. [PMID: 36144231 PMCID: PMC9505716 DOI: 10.3390/metabo12090827] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2022] [Revised: 08/31/2022] [Accepted: 09/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Calcium (Ca++) metabolism may be impaired in several psychiatric diseases. We hypothesize that calcium imbalance might also correlate with a specific chronotype and could be recognized as a marker of illness severity in bipolar disorder (BD). We aimed to (1) identify the association between calcium imbalance and a specific chronotype in a cohort of BD patients, and (2) test the mediation role of high parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels towards a specific chronotype and illness severity in BD patients. Patients’ socio-demographic and clinical characteristics were collected with an ad-hoc schedule. We administered the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D), the Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety (HAM-A), the Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS), and the Morningness Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ). 100 patients affected by BD were recruited. The Kruskal-Wallis test showed a significant difference between the three MEQ groups in PTH levels (p < 0.001) and vitamin D levels (p = 0.048) but not in Ca++ levels (p = 0.426). Dwass-Steel-Critchlow-Fligner Pairwise analyses performed concerning three MEQ groups revealed significantly higher scores on PTH levels in MEQ-E subjects compared to MEQ-M and MEQ-I (in both cases, p < 0.001). No differences emerged between calcium levels among the three chronotypes. The mediation analysis has shown that elevated PTH levels are directly influenced by more severe HAM-A, HAM-D, and YMRS scores. MEQ-E could be a marker related to BD and predispose to various factors influencing mood symptoms. The combination of vitamin D therapy in MEQ-E may help to improve prognosis in this subtype of patients affected by BD.

Abstract
Inorganic phosphate (Pi) in the mammalian body is balanced by its influx and efflux through the intestines, kidneys, bones, and soft tissues, at which several sodium/Pi co-transporters mediate its active transport. Pi homeostasis is achieved through the complex counter-regulatory feedback balance between fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D), and parathyroid hormone. FGF23, which is mainly produced by osteocytes in bone, plays a central role in Pi homeostasis and exerts its effects by binding to the FGF receptor (FGFR) and αKlotho in distant target organs. In the kidneys, the main target, FGF23 promotes the excretion of Pi and suppresses the production of 1,25(OH)2D. Deficient and excess FGF23 result in hyperphosphatemia and hypophosphatemia, respectively. FGF23-related hypophosphatemic rickets/osteomalacia include tumor-induced osteomalacia and various genetic diseases, such as X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets. Coverage by the national health insurance system in Japan for the measurement of FGF23 and the approval of burosumab, an FGF23-neutralizing antibody, have had a significant impact on the diagnosis and treatment of FGF23-related hypophosphatemic rickets/osteomalacia. Some of the molecules responsible for genetic hypophosphatemic rickets/osteomalacia are highly expressed in osteocytes and function as local regulators of FGF23 production. A number of systemic factors also regulate FGF23 levels. Although the mechanisms responsible for Pi sensing in mammals have not yet been elucidated in detail, recent studies have suggested the involvement of FGFR1. The further clarification of the mechanisms by which osteocytes detect Pi levels and regulate FGF23 production will lead to the development of better strategies to treat hyperphosphatemic and hypophosphatemic conditions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop evidence-based recommendations for safe, effective, and appropriate treatment of secondary (SHPT) and tertiary (THPT) renal hyperparathyroidism. BACKGROUND Hyperparathyroidism is common among patients with chronic kidney disease, end-stage kidney disease, and kidney transplant. The surgical management of SHPT and THPT is nuanced and requires a multidisciplinary approach. There are currently no clinical practice guidelines that address the surgical treatment of SHPT and THPT. METHODS Medical literature was reviewed from January 1, 1985 to present January 1, 2021 by a panel of 10 experts in SHPT and THPT. Recommendations using the best available evidence was constructed. The American College of Physicians grading system was used to determine levels of evidence. Recommendations were discussed to consensus. The American Association of Endocrine Surgeons membership reviewed and commented on preliminary drafts of the content. RESULTS These clinical guidelines present the epidemiology and pathophysiology of SHPT and THPT and provide recommendations for work-up and management of SHPT and THPT for all involved clinicians. It outlines the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative management of SHPT and THPT, as well as related definitions, operative techniques, morbidity, and outcomes. Specific topics include Pathogenesis and Epidemiology, Initial Evaluation, Imaging, Preoperative and Perioperative Care, Surgical Planning and Parathyroidectomy, Adjuncts and Approaches, Outcomes, and Reoperation. CONCLUSIONS Evidence-based guidelines were created to assist clinicians in the optimal management of secondary and tertiary renal hyperparathyroidism.

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
Osteoporosis is a chronic debilitating disease caused by imbalanced bone remodeling processes that impair the structural integrity of bone. Over the last ten years, the association between fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) and osteoporosis has been studied in both pre-clinical and clinical investigations. FGF23 is a bone-derived endocrine factor that regulates mineral homeostasis via the fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs)/αKlotho complex. These receptors are expressed in kidney and the parathyroid gland. Preclinical studies have supported the link between the local actions of FGF23 on the bone remodeling processes. In addition, clinical evidence regarding the effects of FGF23 on bone mass and fragility fractures suggest potential diagnostic and prognostic applications of FGF23 in clinical contexts, particularly in elderly and patients with chronic kidney disease. However, inconsistent findings exist and there are areas of uncertainty requiring exploration. This review comprehensively summarizes and discusses preclinical and clinical reports on the roles of FGF23 on osteoporosis, with an emphasis on the local action, as opposed to the systemic action, of FGF23 on the bone. Current gaps in knowledge and future research directions are also suggested to encourage further rigorous research in this important field.

Abstract
Bone involvement of sickle cell disease (SCD) patients varies from acute clinical manifestations of painful vaso-occlusive crises or osteomyelitis to more chronic affection of bone mineral density (BMD) and debilitating osteonecrosis and osteoporosis. Secreted klotho protein is involved in calcium (Ca) reabsorption in the kidney. This study aimed to measure serum klotho levels in children with SCD to determine the possibility of using it as a marker of low BMD in children with SCD in correlation with a dual-energy radiograph absorptiometry scan. This study included 60 sickle disease patients and 30 age-matched and sex-matched control participants without SCD. A highly statistically significant difference was found between patients with normal BMD and those with low BMD, with serum Ca and klotho levels being lower in the latter group. Klotho serum level correlated positively with both serum Ca and BMD. Serum klotho level showed 94.9% sensitivity and 95.2% specificity in the detection of low BMD. Both serum Ca and klotho serum levels may be useful markers for detection of low BMD related to SCD with high sensitivity and specificity; however, klotho may be a better indicator as it is less affected by the nutritional and endocrinal status of patients or by intake of Ca supplements.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Disturbances in magnesium homeostasis are common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and are associated with increased mortality. The kidney is a key organ in maintaining normal serum magnesium concentrations. To this end, fractional excretion of magnesium (FEMg) increases as renal function declines. Despite recent progress, the hormonal regulation of renal magnesium handling is incompletely understood. Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 (FGF23) is a phosphaturic hormone that has been linked to renal magnesium handling. However, it has not yet been reported whether FGF23 is associated with renal magnesium handling in CKD patients. METHODS The associations between plasma FGF23 levels, plasma and urine magnesium concentrations and FEMg was investigated in a cross-sectional cohort of 198 non-dialysis CKD patients undergoing renal biopsy. RESULTS FGF23 was significantly correlated with FEMg (Pearson's correlation coefficient = 0.37, p<0.001) and urinary magnesium (-0.14, p=0.04), but not with plasma magnesium. The association between FGF23 and FEMg remained significant after adjusting for potential confounders, including estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), parathyroid hormone and 25-hydroxyvitamin D. CONCLUSIONS We report that plasma FGF23 is independently associated with measures of renal magnesium handling in a cohort of non-dialysis CKD patients. A potential causal relationship should be investigated in future studies.

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) causes the greatest proportion of end-stage renal disease (ESRD)-related mortality and has become a high concern in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Bone is considered an endocrine organ, playing an emerging role in regulating glucose and energy metabolism. Accumulating research has proven that bone-derived hormones are involved in glucose metabolism and the pathogenesis of DM complications, especially DKD. Furthermore, these hormones are considered to be promising predictors and prospective treatment targets for DM and DKD. In this review, we focused on bone-derived hormones, including fibroblast growth factor 23, osteocalcin, sclerostin, and lipocalin 2, and summarized their role in regulating glucose metabolism and DKD.

Abstract
Apart from its phosphaturic action, the bone-derived hormone fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) is also an essential regulator of vitamin D metabolism. The main target organ of FGF23 is the kidney, where FGF23 suppresses transcription of the key enzyme in vitamin D hormone (1,25(OH)2D) activation, 1α-hydroxylase, and activates transcription of the key enzyme responsible for vitamin D degradation, 24-hydroxylase, in proximal renal tubules. The circulating concentration of 1,25(OH)2D is a positive regulator of FGF23 secretion in bone, forming a feedback loop between kidney and bone. The importance of FGF23 as regulator of vitamin D metabolism is underscored by the fact that in the absence of FGF23 signaling, the tight control of renal 1α-hydroxylase fails, resulting in overproduction of 1,25(OH)2D in mice and men. During recent years, big strides have been made toward a more complete understanding of the mechanisms underlying the FGF23-mediated regulation of vitamin D metabolism, especially at the genomic level. However, there are still major gaps in our knowledge that need to be filled by future research. Importantly, the intracellular signaling cascades downstream of FGF receptors regulating transcription of 1α-hydroxylase and 24-hydroxylase in proximal renal tubules still remain unresolved. The purpose of this review is to highlight our current understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of vitamin D metabolism by FGF23, and to discuss the role of these mechanisms in physiology and pathophysiology. © 2021 The Authors.

[PMID: 34147708 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2021.116064] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2021] [Revised: 06/11/2021] [Accepted: 06/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO), also known as oncogenic osteomalacia, is a rare acquired paraneoplastic disease, which is challenging to diagnose and treat. TIO is characterized by hypophosphatemia resulting from excess levels of tumor-secreted fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), one of the key physiological regulators of phosphate metabolism. Elevated FGF23 results in renal phosphate wasting and compromised vitamin D activation, ultimately resulting in osteomalacia. Patients typically present with progressive and non-specific symptoms, including bone pain, multiple pathological fractures, and progressive muscle weakness. Diagnosis is often delayed or missed due to the non-specific nature of complaints and lack of disease awareness. Additionally, the disease-causing tumour is often difficult to detect and localize because they are often small, lack localizing symptoms and signs, and dwell in widely variable anatomical locations. Measuring serum/urine phosphate should be an inherent diagnostic component when assessing otherwise unexplained osteomalacia, fractures and weakness. In cases of hypophosphatemia with inappropriate (sustained) phosphaturia and inappropriately normal or frankly low 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D, differentiation of the potential causes of renal phosphate wasting should include measurement of FGF23, and TIO should be considered. While patients experience severe disability without treatment, complete excision of the tumour is typically curative and results in a dramatic reversal of symptoms. Two additional key current unmet needs in optimizing TIO management are: (1 and 2) the considerable delay in diagnosis and consequent delay between the onset of symptoms and surgical resection; and (2) alternative management. These may be addressed by raising awareness of TIO, and taking into consideration the accessibility and variability of different healthcare infrastructures. By recognizing the challenges associated with the diagnosis and treatment of TIO and by applying a stepwise approach with clear clinical practice guidelines, patient care and outcomes will be improved in the future.

Abstract
CONTEXT The biochemical basis for clinical variability in primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is poorly understood. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to define parathyroid tumor biochemical properties associated with calcium-sensing failure in PHPT patients, and to relate differences in these profiles to variations in clinical presentation. METHODS Preoperative clinical data from a sequential series of 39 patients undergoing surgery for PHPT at an endocrine surgery referral center in a large, public university hospital were evaluated for correlation to parathyroid tumor biochemical behavior. An intact tissue, ex vivo interrogative assay was employed to evaluate the calcium-sensing capacity of parathyroid adenomas relative to normal donor glands. Tumors were functionally classified based on calcium dose-response curve profiles, and clinical parameters were compared among the respective classes. Changes in the relative expression of 3 key components in the calcium/parathyroid hormone (PTH) signaling axis-CASR, RGS5, and RCAN1-were evaluated as potential mechanisms for calcium-sensing failure. RESULTS Parathyroid adenomas grouped into 3 distinct functional classes. Tumors with diminished calcium sensitivity were the most common (18 of 39) and were strongly associated with reduced bone mineral density (P = 0.0009). Tumors with no calcium-sensing deficit (11 of 39) were associated with higher preoperative PTH (P = 0.036). A third group (6/39) displayed a nonsigmoid calcium/PTH response curve; 4 of these 6 tumors expressed elevated RCAN1. CONCLUSION Calcium-sensing capacity varies among parathyroid tumors but downregulation of the calcium-sensing receptor (CASR) is not an obligate underlying mechanism. Differences in tumor calcium responsiveness may contribute to variations in PHPT clinical presentation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION After the onset of bone metastasis, tumor cells appear to modify surrounding microenvironments for their benefit, and particularly, the levels of circulating fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 23 in patients with tumors have been highlighted. MATERIALS AND METHODS We have attempted to verify if human breast carcinoma MDA-MB-231 cells metastasized in the long bone of nu/nu mice would synthesize FGF23. Serum concentrations of calcium, phosphate (Pi) and FGF23 were measured in control nu/nu mice, bone-metastasized mice, and mice with mammary gland injected with MDA-MB-231 cells mimicking primary mammary tumors. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS MDA-MB-231 cells revealed intense FGF23 reactivity in metastasized lesions, whereas MDA-MB-231 cells cultured in vitro or when injected into the mammary glands (without bone metastasis) showed weak FGF23 immunoreactivity. Although the bone-metastasized MDA-MB-231 cells abundantly synthesized FGF23, osteocytes adjacent to the FGF23-immunopositive tumors, unlike intact osteocytes, showed no FGF23. Despite significantly elevated serum FGF23 levels in bone-metastasized mice, there was no significant decrease in the serum Pi concentration when compared with the intact mice and mice with a mass of MDA-MB-231 cells in mammary glands. The metastasized femora showed increased expression and FGFR1 immunoreactivity in fibroblastic stromal cells, whereas femora of control mice showed no obvious FGFR1 immunoreactivity. Taken together, it seems likely that MDA-MB-231 cells synthesize FGF23 when metastasized to a bone, and thus affect FGFR1-positive stromal cells in the metastasized tumor nest in a paracrine manner.

Abstract
Mineral derangements are a common consequence of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Despite the well-established role of phosphorus in the pathophysiology of CKD, the implications of calcium disturbances associated with CKD remain equivocal. Calcium plays an essential role in numerous physiological functions in the body and is a fundamental structural component of bone. An understanding of calcium metabolism is required to understand the potential adverse clinical implications and outcomes secondary to the (mal)adaptation of calcium-regulating hormones in CKD. The first part of this two-part review covers the physiology of calcium homeostasis (kidneys, intestines and bones) and details the intimate relationships between calcium-regulating hormones (parathyroid hormone, calcitriol, fibroblast growth factor 23, α-Klotho and calcitonin) and the role of the calcium-sensing receptor.

Pathophysiological Implications of Imbalances in Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 in the Development of Diabetes. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10122583.

Abstract
Observational studies have associated the increase in fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 23 levels, the main regulator of phosphate levels, with the onset of diabetes. These studies open the debate on the plausible existence of undescribed diabetogenic mechanisms derived from chronic supraphysiological levels of FGF23, a prevalent condition in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. These maladaptive and diabetogenic responses to FGF23 may occur at different levels, including a direct effect on the pancreatic ß cells, and an indirect effect derived from the stimulation of the synthesis of pro-inflammatory factors. Both mechanisms could be mediated by the binding of FGF23 to noncanonical receptor complexes with the subsequent overactivation of signaling pathways that leads to harmful effects. The canonical binding of FGF23 to the receptor complex formed by the receptor FGFR1c and the coreceptor αKlotho activates Ras/MAPK/ERK signaling. However, supraphysiological concentrations of FGF23 favor non-αKlotho-dependent binding of this molecule to other FGFRs, which could generate an undesired overactivation of the PLCγ/CN/NFAT pathway, as observed in cardiomyocytes and hepatocytes. Moreover, the decrease in αKlotho expression may constitute a contributing factor to the appearance of these effects by promoting the nonspecific activation of the PLCγ/CN/NFAT to the detriment of the αKlotho-dependent Ras/MAPK/ERK pathway. The description of these mechanisms would allow the development of new therapeutic targets susceptible to be modified by dietary changes or by pharmacological intervention.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a phosphotropic hormone that belongs to a subfamily of endocrine FGFs with evolutionarily conserved functions in worms and fruit flies. FAM20C phosphorylates FGF23 post-translationally, targeting it to proteolysis through subtilisin-like proprotein convertase FURIN, resulting in secretion of FGF23 fragments. O-glycosylation of FGF23 through GALNT3 appears to prevent proteolysis, resulting in secretion of biologically active intact FGF23. In the circulation, FGF23 may undergo further processing by plasminogen activators. Crystal structures show that the ectodomain of the cognate FGF23 receptor FGFR1c binds with the ectodomain of the co-receptor alpha-KLOTHO. The KLOTHO-FGFR1c double heterodimer creates a high-affinity binding site for the FGF23 C-terminus. The topology of FGF23 deviates from that of paracrine FGFs, resulting in poor affinity for heparan sulphate, which may explain why FGF23 diffuses freely in the bone matrix to enter the bloodstream following its secretion by cells of osteoblastic lineage. Intact FGF23 signalling by this canonical pathway activates FRS2/RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK1/2. It reduces serum phosphate by inhibiting 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D synthesis, suppressing intestinal phosphate absorption, and by downregulating the transporters NPT2a and NPT2c, suppressing phosphate reabsorption in the proximal tubules. The physiological role of FGF23 fragments, which may be inhibitory, remains unclear. Pharmacological and genetic activation of canonical FGF23 signalling causes hypophosphatemic disorders, while its inhibition results in hyperphosphatemic disorders. Non-canonical FGF23 signalling through binding and activation of FGFR3/FGFR4/calcineurin/NFAT in an alpha-KLOTHO-independent fashion mainly occurs at extremely elevated circulating FGF23 levels and may contribute to mortality due to cardiovascular disease and left ventricular hypertrophy in chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
Calcium is a key ion involved in cardiac and skeletal muscle contractility, nerve function, and skeletal structure. Global calcium balance is affected by parathyroid hormone and vitamin D, and calcium is shuttled between the extracellular space and the bone matrix compartment dynamically. The kidney plays an important role in whole-body calcium balance. Abnormalities in the kidney transport proteins alter the renal excretion of calcium. Various hormonal and regulatory pathways have evolved that regulate the renal handling of calcium to maintain the serum calcium within defined limits despite dynamic changes in dietary calcium intake. Dysregulation of renal calcium transport can occur pharmacologically, hormonally, and via genetic mutations in key proteins in various nephron segments resulting in several disease processes. This review focuses on the regulation transport of calcium in the nephron. Genetic diseases affecting the renal handling of calcium that can potentially lead to changes in the serum calcium concentration are reviewed.

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

Abstract
FGF23 is a phosphotropic hormone produced by the bone. FGF23 works by binding to the FGF receptor-Klotho complex. Klotho is expressed in several limited tissues including the kidney and parathyroid glands. This tissue-restricted expression of Klotho is believed to determine the target organs of FGF23. FGF23 reduces serum phosphate by suppressing the expression of type 2a and 2c sodium-phosphate cotransporters in renal proximal tubules. FGF23 also decreases 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D levels by regulating the expression of vitamin D-metabolizing enzymes, which results in reduced intestinal phosphate absorption. Excessive actions of FGF23 cause several types of hypophosphatemic rickets/osteomalacia characterized by impaired mineralization of bone matrix. In contrast, deficient actions of FGF23 result in hyperphosphatemic tumoral calcinosis with high 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D levels. These results indicate that FGF23 is a physiological regulator of phosphate and vitamin D metabolism and indispensable for the maintenance of serum phosphate levels.

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.

[PMID: 33781552 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjms.2020.09.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2020] [Revised: 09/14/2020] [Accepted: 09/16/2020] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Secondary hyperparathyroidism, a condition of excess parathyroid hormone (PTH, Pth) production, is often seen in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with elevated fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23, Fgf23). Elevated FGF23 levels stimulate secondary hyperparathyroidism-associated parathyroid αKlotho signaling. As overexpression of rationally selected microRNAs can suppress target gene activation, we hypothesized that microRNA-based suppression of parathyroid FGF23/αKlotho axis activity may be a potential strategy to combat secondary hyperparathyroidism. METHODS In vitro luciferase assays and human parathyroid adenoma cell experiments were used to determine miR-129-1-3p's effects on αKlotho expression in vitro. We also studied the effects of parathyroid-specific miR-129-1 overexpression (miR-129Ox) in CKD and non-CKD mice and parathyroid tissue cultures derived therefrom. RESULTS miR-129-1-3p directly targets the αKlotho mRNA strand in human parathyroid cells. miR-129Ox CKD mice and control CKD mice displayed comparable serum levels of calcium, phosphate, Fgf23, and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D). However, miR-129Ox CKD mice displayed reduced parathyroid αKlotho expression and lower circulating Pth levels. In vitro culture of miR-129Ox CKD murine parathyroid tissue showed suppressed responses to Fgf23, with decreased Pth secretion and diminished cell proliferation after four days. CONCLUSIONS miR-129 negatively regulates pro-proliferative, Pth-inducing Fgf23/αKlotho signaling in the parathyroid glands of CKD mice.

Abstract
Growing evidences suggest that the fibroblast growth factor/FGF receptor (FGF/FGFR) signaling has crucial roles in a multitude of processes during embryonic development and adult homeostasis by regulating cellular lineage commitment, differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis of various types of cells. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the current understanding of FGF signaling and its roles in organ development, injury repair, and the pathophysiology of spectrum of diseases, which is a consequence of FGF signaling dysregulation, including cancers and chronic kidney disease (CKD). In this context, the agonists and antagonists for FGF-FGFRs might have therapeutic benefits in multiple systems.

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

Abstract
The year 2017 marked the 20th anniversary of the first publication describing Klotho. This single protein was and is remarkable in that its absence in mice conferred an accelerated aging, or progeroid, phenotype with a dramatically shortened life span. On the other hand, genetic overexpression extended both health span and life span by an impressive 30%. Not only has Klotho deficiency been linked to a number of debilitating age-related illnesses but many subsequent reports have lent credence to the idea that Klotho can compress the period of morbidity and extend the life span of both model organisms and humans. This suggests that Klotho functions as an integrator of organ systems, making it both a promising tool for advancing our understanding of the biology of aging and an intriguing target for interventional studies. In this review, we highlight advances in our understanding of Klotho as well as key challenges that have somewhat limited our view, and thus translational potential, of this potent protein.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease is highly prevalent, affecting 10% to 15% of the adult population worldwide and is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. As chronic kidney disease worsens, a unique cardiovascular phenotype develops characterized by heart muscle disease, increased arterial stiffness, atherosclerosis, and hypertension. Cardiovascular risk is multifaceted, but most cardiovascular deaths in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease are caused by heart failure and sudden cardiac death. While the exact drivers of these deaths are unknown, they are believed to be caused by uremic cardiomyopathy: a specific pattern of myocardial hypertrophy, fibrosis, with both diastolic and systolic dysfunction. Although the pathogenesis of uremic cardiomyopathy is likely to be multifactorial, accumulating evidence suggests increased production of fibroblast growth factor-23 and αKlotho deficiency as potential major drivers of cardiac remodeling in patients with uremic cardiomyopathy. In this article we review the increasing understanding of the physiology and clinical aspects of uremic cardiomyopathy and the rapidly increasing knowledge of the biology of both fibroblast growth factor-23 and αKlotho. Finally, we discuss how dissection of these pathological processes is aiding the development of therapeutic options, including small molecules and antibodies, directly aimed at improving the cardiovascular outcomes of patients with chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease.

Abstract
CONTEXT α-klotho is an integral membrane protein that serves as a coreceptor for fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) in conjunction with cognate fibroblast growth factor receptors. Proteolytic cleavage sheds the ectodomain of α-klotho (soluble α-klotho) as an endocrine substance into blood, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid. OBJECTIVE To study the relationship of soluble α-klotho to mineral metabolism in the general population with mainly preserved kidney function. DESIGN Cross-sectional analysis of the associations between soluble α-klotho with laboratory markers of markers of mineral metabolism in a population-based cohort. SETTING Three centers in Switzerland including 1128 participants. MEASURES Soluble full-length α-klotho levels by a specific immunoassay and markers of mineral metabolism. RESULTS The median serum level of soluble α-klotho was 15.0 pmol/L. Multivariable analyses using α-klotho as the outcome variable revealed a sex-by-PTH interaction: In men, PTH was positively associated with α-klotho levels, whereas this association was negative in women. Plasma phosphate associated with soluble α-klotho levels in an age-dependent manner, changing from a positive association in young adults gradually to a negative association in the elderly. The decline of 1,25 (OH)2 vitamin D3 levels in parallel to the gradual impairment of kidney function was greatly attenuated in the setting of high circulating soluble α-klotho levels. CONCLUSIONS Soluble α-klotho level is associated with plasma phosphate in an age-dependent manner and with PTH in a sex-dependent manner. Furthermore, our data reveal soluble α-klotho as a modulator of 1,25 (OH)2 vitamin D3 levels in individuals with preserved renal function.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) has an important role in the maintenance of serum calcium levels. It activates renal 1α-hydroxylase and increases the synthesis of the active form of vitamin D (1,25[OH]2D3). PTH promotes calcium release from the bone and enhances tubular calcium resorption through direct action on these sites. Hallmarks of secondary hyperparathyroidism associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) include increase in serum fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23), reduction in renal 1,25[OH]2D3 production with a decline in its serum levels, decrease in intestinal calcium absorption, and, at later stages, hyperphosphatemia and high levels of PTH. In this paper, we aim to critically discuss severe CKD-related hyperparathyroidism, in which PTH, through calcium-dependent and -independent mechanisms, leads to harmful effects and manifestations of the uremic syndrome, such as bone loss, skin and soft tissue calcification, cardiomyopathy, immunodeficiency, impairment of erythropoiesis, increase of energy expenditure, and muscle weakness.

Abstract
Phosphate is a cornerstone of several physiological pathways including skeletal development, bone mineralization, membrane composition, nucleotide structure, maintenance of plasma pH, and cellular signaling. The kidneys have a key role in phosphate homeostasis with three hormones having important functions in renal phosphate handling or intestinal absorption: parathyroid hormone (PTH), fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), and 1-25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D). FGF23 is mainly synthesized by osteocytes; it is a direct phosphaturic factor that also inhibits 1,25(OH)2D and PTH. In addition to crucial effects on phosphate and calcium metabolism, FGF23 also has 'off-target' effects notably on the cardiovascular, immune and central nervous systems. Genetic diseases may affect the FGF23 pathway, resulting in either increased FGF23 levels leading to hypophosphatemia (such as in X-linked hypophosphatemia) or defective secretion/action of intact FGF23 inducing hyperphosphatemia (such as in familial tumoral calcinosis). The aim of this review is to provide an overview of FGF23 physiology and pathophysiology in X-linked hypophosphatemia, with a focus on FGF23-associated genetic diseases.

Evolution of secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients following return to hemodialysis after kidney transplant failure. Nephrol Ther 2019; 16:118-123.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Severe uncontrolled secondary hyperparathyroidism and kidney transplantation history are both risk factors for fractures in hemodialyzed patients. Moreover, patients who return to dialysis after transplant failure have more severe infections/anemia and higher mortality risk than transplant-naive patients starting dialysis with native kidneys. In this context, our aim was to test the hypothesis that transplant failure patients have more secondary hyperparathyroidism than transplant-naive patients. METHODS We retrospectively compared 29 transplant failure patients to 58 transplant-naive patients matched for age, sex, chronic kidney disease duration and diabetes condition (1 transplant failure/2 transplant-naive ratio), who started dialysis between 2010 and 2014. Clinical and biological data were collected at baseline, 6 and 12 months. FINDINGS At baseline, neither serum parathyroid hormone (transplant-naive: 386±286pg/mL; transplant failure: 547±652pg/mL) nor serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (transplant-naive: 27.8±17.0μg/L, transplant failure: 31.1±14.9μg/L) differed between groups. However, serum parathyroid hormone at 12 months and the proportion of patients with uncontrolled secondary hyperparathyroidism (parathyroid hormone>540pg/mL, KDIGO criteria) were significantly higher in transplant failure than in transplant-naive (parathyroid hormone: 286±205 vs. 462±449, P<0.01; uncontrolled secondary hyperparathyroidism: 30% vs. 13%, P<0.01, respectively). Within the transplant failure group, patients with uncontrolled secondary hyperparathyroidism at 12 months were younger than patients with normal or low parathyroid hormone. DISCUSSION This retrospective and monocentric study suggests that transplant failure patients are more likely to develop secondary hyperparathyroidism. Thus, finding high serum parathyroid hormone in young transplant failure patients, who are expected to undergo further transplantations, should incite physicians to treat early and more aggressively this complication.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a hormone with a central role in the regulation of phosphate homeostasis. This regulation is accomplished by the coordinated modulation of renal phosphate handling, vitamin D metabolism and parathyroid hormone secretion. Patients with kidney disease have increased circulating levels of FGF23 and in other patient populations and in healthy individuals, FGF23 levels also rise following an increase in dietary phosphate intake. Maladaptive increases in FGF23 have a detrimental effect on several organs and tissues and, importantly, these pathological changes most likely contribute to increased morbidity and mortality. For example, in the context of heart disease, FGF23 is involved in the development of pathological hypertrophy that can lead to congestive heart failure. Increased FGF23 concentrations can also lead to microcirculatory changes, in particular reduced vasodilatory capacity, and collectively these cardiovascular changes can compromise tissue perfusion. In addition, FGF23 is associated with inflammation and an increased risk of infection; other potentially detrimental effects of FGF23 are likely to emerge in the future. Most importantly, recent insights demonstrate that FGF23 can be therapeutically targeted, which holds promise for the treatment of many patients in a variety of clinical settings.

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
Following the serendipitous discovery of the ageing suppressor, αKlotho (αKl), several decades ago, a growing body of evidence has defined a pivotal role for its various forms in multiple aspects of vertebrate physiology and pathology. The transmembrane form of αKl serves as a co-receptor for the osteocyte-derived mineral regulator, fibroblast growth factor (FGF)23, principally in the renal tubules. However, compelling data also suggest that circulating soluble forms of αKl, derived from the same source, may have independent homeostatic functions either as a hormone, glycan-cleaving enzyme or lectin. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is of particular interest as disruption of the FGF23-αKl axis is an early and common feature of disease manifesting in markedly deficient αKl expression, but FGF23 excess. Here we critically discuss recent findings in αKl biology that conflict with the view that soluble αKl has substantive functions independent of FGF23 signalling. Although the issue of whether soluble αKl can act without FGF23 has yet to be resolved, we explore the potential significance of these contrary findings in the context of CKD and highlight how this endocrine pathway represents a promising target for novel anti-ageing therapeutics.

Serum fibroblast growth factor 23 and mineral metabolism in patients with euthyroid Graves' diseases: a case-control study. Osteoporos Int 2019; 30:2289-2297.

Abstract
UNLABELLED This study investigated the alterations of mineral metabolism in patients with Graves' disease (GD) who achieved euthyroidism. They had higher fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) and phosphorus as compared with healthy subjects. Serum FGF23 was negatively correlated with serum phosphorus. These indicated abnormal mineral metabolism even after 1.6 years of euthyroid status. INTRODUCTION FGF23 is involved in the mineral homeostasis, especially the regulation of serum phosphorus. Graves' disease (GD) is associated with accelerated bone turnover, hyperphosphatemia, and elevated serum FGF23. Evidence suggested that serum FGF23 decreased after a 3-month treatment of GD. However, it remains unclear whether serum FGF23, serum phosphorus, and other markers of mineral metabolism will be normalized after euthyroid status achieved. METHODS A total of 62 patients with euthyroid GD and 62 healthy control subjects were enrolled, and the median duration of euthyroid status was 1.6 years. Endocrine profiles including thyroid function test, autoantibodies, serum FGF23, and bone turnover markers were obtained and compared between the two groups. RESULTS Euthyroid GD patients had significantly higher serum FGF23 and phosphorus, and lower 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) and intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) levels as compared with the control group. Serum FGF23 was significantly and negatively correlated with phosphorus level after adjusted for age, gender, calcium, iPTH, and 25(OH)D in the euthyroid GD group. CONCLUSION Serum phosphorus and FGF23 levels remain higher in GD patients even after euthyroid status has been achieved for a median of 1.6 years. Serum FGF23 was negatively correlated with serum phosphorus in euthyroid GD patients. Underlying mechanisms warrant further investigations.

Abstract
In patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), adverse outcomes such as systemic inflammation and anemia are contributing pathologies which increase the risks for cardiovascular mortality. Amongst these complications, abnormalities in mineral metabolism and the metabolic milieu are associated with chronic inflammation and iron dysregulation, and fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a risk factor in this context. FGF23 is a bone-derived hormone that is essential for regulating vitamin D and phosphate homeostasis. In the early stages of CKD, serum FGF23 levels rise 1000-fold above normal values in an attempt to maintain normal phosphate levels. Despite this compensatory action, clinical CKD studies have demonstrated powerful and dose-dependent associations between FGF23 levels and higher risks for mortality. A prospective pathomechanism coupling elevated serum FGF23 levels with CKD-associated anemia and cardiovascular injury is its strong association with chronic inflammation. In this review, we will examine the current experimental and clinical evidence regarding the role of FGF23 in renal physiology as well as in the pathophysiology of CKD with an emphasis on chronic inflammation and anemia.

Abstract
Background X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is an inherited disease of phosphate metabolism in which inactivating mutations of the Phosphate Regulating Endopeptidase Homolog, X-Linked (PHEX) gene lead to local and systemic effects including impaired growth, rickets, osteomalacia, bone abnormalities, bone pain, spontaneous dental abscesses, hearing difficulties, enthesopathy, osteoarthritis, and muscular dysfunction. Patients with XLH present with elevated levels of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), which is thought to mediate many of the aforementioned manifestations of the disease. Elevated FGF23 has also been observed in many other diseases of hypophosphatemia, and a range of animal models have been developed to study these diseases, yet the role of FGF23 in the pathophysiology of XLH is incompletely understood. Methods The role of FGF23 in the pathophysiology of XLH is here reviewed by describing what is known about phenotypes associated with various PHEX mutations, animal models of XLH, and non-nutritional diseases of hypophosphatemia, and by presenting molecular pathways that have been proposed to contribute to manifestations of XLH. Results The pathophysiology of XLH is complex, involving a range of molecular pathways that variously contribute to different manifestations of the disease. Hypophosphatemia due to elevated FGF23 is the most obvious contributor, however localised fluctuations in tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP), pyrophosphate, calcitriol and direct effects of FGF23 have been observed to be associated with certain manifestations. Conclusions By describing what is known about these pathways, this review highlights key areas for future research that would contribute to the understanding and clinical treatment of non-nutritional diseases of hypophosphatemia, particularly XLH.
