Abstract
Long-term hypophosphatemia, defined by serum phosphorus (P) levels <2.5mg/dL, impairs the development and quality of mineralized tissue of the skeletal, dental, and auditory systems. P homeostasis depends mainly on intestinal absorption and renal excretion. Hypophosphatemia may be due to the redistribution of P to the intracellular space, increased renal losses, or decreased intestinal absorption. Hypophosphatemia can be categorized as acute or chronic, depending on the time course. Most cases, either acute or chronic, are due to acquired causes. However, some chronic cases may have a genetic origin. Accurate and early diagnosis, followed by adequate treatment, is essential to limit its negative effects on the body.

Abstract
To maintain an optimal body content of phosphorus throughout postnatal life, variable phosphate absorption from food must be finely matched with urinary excretion. This amazing feat is accomplished through synchronised phosphate transport by myriads of ciliated cells lining the renal proximal tubules. These respond in real time to changes in phosphate and composition of the renal filtrate and to hormonal instructions. How they do this has stimulated decades of research. New analytical techniques, coupled with incredible advances in computer technology, have opened new avenues for investigation at a sub-cellular level. There has been a surge of research into different aspects of the process. These have verified long-held beliefs and are also dramatically extending our vision of the intense, integrated, intracellular activity which mediates phosphate absorption. Already, some have indicated new approaches for pharmacological intervention to regulate phosphate in common conditions, including chronic renal failure and osteoporosis, as well as rare inherited biochemical disorders. It is a rapidly evolving field. The aim here is to provide an overview of our current knowledge, to show where it is leading, and where there are uncertainties. Hopefully, this will raise questions and stimulate new ideas for further research.

Successful Burosumab Treatment in an Adult Patient with X-Linked Hypophosphatemia and Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 3b. Calcif Tissue Int 2024; 114:310-314.

Abstract
X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH) is a genetic cause of renal hypophosphatemia due to inactivation of the PHEX gene, with an inappropriate concentration of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23). Burosumab, an anti-FGF23 monoclonal antibody, is a validated treatment for XLH, but its use in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) has not been validated. A 61-year-old man with XLH developed CKD during follow-up. Conventional treatment (phosphate salts and active vitamin D analogs) was poorly tolerated. Treatment with burosumab was decided at a multi-professional meeting. Before burosumab initiation, his measured glomerular filtration rate was 44 mL/min/1.73 m2 defining CKD stage 3b and intact FGF23 concentration was very high (4496.0 ng/mL, N: 22.7-93.1) due to both XLH and CKD. Severe hypophosphatemia was observed after the two first injections of burosumab at usual doses (1 mg/kg monthly) and concomitant discontinuation of the conventional treatment. After increasing the dose and reducing the interval between doses (1.3 mg/kg every three weeks) from the third injection, serum phosphate concentration normalized and remained around the lower limit of the normal range. A local cutaneous reaction was observed just after the second injection, but did not recur. We report for the first time the efficacy and good short-term tolerance of burosumab in a patient with XLH and CKD, subject to a higher dosage aimed at achieving a phosphatemia at the lower limit of the normal range.

Dental impact of anti-fibroblast growth factor 23 therapy in X-linked hypophosphatemia. Int J Oral Sci 2023; 15:53. [PMID: 38052774 DOI: 10.1038/s41368-023-00259-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2023] [Revised: 11/03/2023] [Accepted: 11/05/2023] [Indexed: 12/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Elevated fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) in X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) results in rickets and phosphate wasting, manifesting by severe bone and dental abnormalities. Burosumab, a FGF23-neutralizing antibody, an alternative to conventional treatment (phosphorus and active vitamin D analogs), showed significant improvement in the long bone phenotype. Here, we examined whether FGF23 antibody (FGF23-mAb) also improved the dentoalveolar features associated with XLH. Four-week-old male Hyp mice were injected weekly with 4 or 16 mg·kg-1 of FGF23-mAb for 2 months and compared to wild-type (WT) and vehicle (PBS) treated Hyp mice (n = 3-7 mice). Micro-CT analyses showed that both doses of FGF23-mAb restored dentin/cementum volume and corrected the enlarged pulp volume in Hyp mice, the higher concentration resulting in a rescue similar to WT levels. FGF23-mAb treatment also improved alveolar bone volume fraction and mineral density compared to vehicle-treated ones. Histology revealed improved mineralization of the dentoalveolar tissues, with a decreased amount of osteoid, predentin and cementoid. Better periodontal ligament attachment was also observed, evidenced by restoration of the acellular cementum. These preclinical data were consistent with the retrospective analysis of two patients with XLH showing that burosumab treatment improved oral features. Taken together, our data show that the dentoalveolar tissues are greatly improved by FGF23-mAb treatment, heralding its benefit in clinics for dental abnormalities.

Abstract
This review summarizes the current knowledge of fibroblast growth factor 23 signaling in bone and its role in the disease pathology of X-linked hypophosphatemia. Craniosynostosis is an under-recognized complication of X-linked hypophosphatemia. The clinical implications and potential cellular mechanisms invoked by increased fibroblast growth factor 23 signaling causing craniosynostosis are reviewed. Knowledge gaps are identified and provide direction for future clinical and basic science studies.

Associations of plasma proteomics with type 2 diabetes and related traits: results from the longitudinal KORA S4/F4/FF4 Study. Diabetologia 2023; 66:1655-1668.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS This study aimed to elucidate the aetiological role of plasma proteins in glucose metabolism and type 2 diabetes development. METHODS We measured 233 proteins at baseline in 1653 participants from the Cooperative Health Research in the Region of Augsburg (KORA) S4 cohort study (median follow-up time: 13.5 years). We used logistic regression in the cross-sectional analysis (n=1300), and Cox regression accounting for interval-censored data in the longitudinal analysis (n=1143). We further applied two-level growth models to investigate associations with repeatedly measured traits (fasting glucose, 2 h glucose, fasting insulin, HOMA-B, HOMA-IR, HbA1c), and two-sample Mendelian randomisation analysis to investigate causal associations. Moreover, we built prediction models using priority-Lasso on top of Framingham-Offspring Risk Score components and evaluated the prediction accuracy through AUC. RESULTS We identified 14, 24 and four proteins associated with prevalent prediabetes (i.e. impaired glucose tolerance and/or impaired fasting glucose), prevalent newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes and incident type 2 diabetes, respectively (28 overlapping proteins). Of these, IL-17D, IL-18 receptor 1, carbonic anhydrase-5A, IL-1 receptor type 2 (IL-1RT2) and matrix extracellular phosphoglycoprotein were novel candidates. IGF binding protein 2 (IGFBP2), lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and paraoxonase 3 (PON3) were inversely associated while fibroblast growth factor 21 was positively associated with incident type 2 diabetes. LPL was longitudinally linked with change in glucose-related traits, while IGFBP2 and PON3 were linked with changes in both insulin- and glucose-related traits. Mendelian randomisation analysis suggested causal effects of LPL on type 2 diabetes and fasting insulin. The simultaneous addition of 12 priority-Lasso-selected biomarkers (IGFBP2, IL-18, IL-17D, complement component C1q receptor, V-set and immunoglobulin domain-containing protein 2, IL-1RT2, LPL, CUB domain-containing protein 1, vascular endothelial growth factor D, PON3, C-C motif chemokine 4 and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase type 5) significantly improved the predictive performance (ΔAUC 0.0219; 95% CI 0.0052, 0.0624). CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION We identified new candidates involved in the development of derangements in glucose metabolism and type 2 diabetes and confirmed previously reported proteins. Our findings underscore the importance of proteins in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes and the identified putative proteins can function as potential pharmacological targets for diabetes treatment and prevention.

Abstract
The past 50 years of research in pediatric bone and mineral metabolism have led to remarkable progress in the identification and characterization of disorders that affect the developing skeleton. Progress has been facilitated through advances in both technology and biology and this paper provides a brief description of some but not all of the key findings, including identification of the calcium sensing receptor and the polypeptides parathyroid hormone and parathyroid hormone-related protein as well as their shared receptor and signal generating pathways; the elucidation of vitamin D metabolism and actions; discovery of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), the sodium-phosphate co-transporters and the other components that regulate phosphate metabolism. Moreover, the past half-century of research has led to the delineation of the molecular bases for genetic forms of hypoparathyroidism, pseudohypoparathyroidism, and primary hyperparathyroidism as well as the determination of the genetic causes of osteogenesis imperfecta, osteopetrosis, hypophosphatasia, and other disorders of mineral/bone homeostasis. During the next decade we expect that many of these fundamental discoveries will lead to the development of innovative treatments that will improve the lives of children with these disorders.

Abstract
Olea europaea L. folium has been studied for its potential nutraceutical properties. Quantitative and qualitative analyses were conducted on samples of Madural, Verdeal, and Cobrançosa elementary leaves and leave sprouts (mamões) collected in the region of Valpaços, Portugal. Mineral analysis determined the measurements of the levels of several macro- and micro-elements based on ICP-MS techniques. The inorganic analysis in this work allowed us to propose olive leaf extract (OLE) from different cultivars as a viable and affordable source of mineral substrates to address disorders related to essential elements such as Na, K, Mg, Ca, Mn, Fe, and Cu deficiencies. Given the importance of the research on novel therapies, finding a suitable substrate for extracting quality amounts of mineral is a priority. The physiological influence of enzymes dependent on minerals with regard to neuroinflammatory and neurobehavioral, metabolic, cardiovascular, osteodegenerative, anti-aging, pulmonary, and immunological defense disorders might dictate the importance of further research for designing supplementation based on the nutraceutical potential of OLE of these cultivars predominant in the northern region of Portugal.

Abstract
Mechanical loading determines bone mass and bone structure, which involves many biochemical signal molecules. Of these molecules, Mepe and Fgf23 are involved in bone mineralization and phosphate homeostasis. Thus, we aimed to explore whether mechanical loading of bone affects factors of phosphate homeostasis. We studied the effect of mechanical loading of bone on the expression of Fgf23, Mepe, Dmp1, Phex, Cyp27b1, and Vdr. Twelve-week old female rats received a 4-point bending load on the right tibia, whereas control rats were not loaded. RT-qPCR was performed on tibia mRNA at 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 hours after mechanical loading for detection of Mepe, Dmp1, Fgf23, Phex, Cyp27b1, and Vdr. Immunohistochemistry was performed to visualise FGF23 protein in tibiae. Serum FGF23, phosphate and calcium levels were measured in all rats. Four-point bending resulted in a reduction of tibia Fgf23 gene expression by 64% (p = 0.002) and a reduction of serum FGF23 by 30% (p<0.001), six hours after loading. Eight hours after loading, Dmp1 and Mepe gene expression increased by 151% (p = 0.007) and 100% (p = 0.007). Mechanical loading did not change Phex, Cyp27b1, and Vdr gene expression at any time-point. We conclude that mechanical loading appears to provoke both a paracrine as well as an endocrine response in bone by modulating factors that regulate bone mineralization and phosphate homeostasis.

Abstract
Relevance of mineralized nodules in two-dimensional (2D) osteoblast/osteocyte cultures to bone biology, pathology, and engineering is a decades old question, but a comprehensive answer appears to be still wanting. Bone-like cells, extracellular matrix (ECM), and mineral were all reported but so were non-bone-like ones. Many studies described seemingly bone-like cell-ECM structures based on similarity to few select bone features in vivo, yet no studies examined multiple bone features simultaneously and none systematically studied all types of structures coexisting in the same culture. Here, we report such comprehensive analysis of 2D cultures based on light and electron microscopies, Raman microspectroscopy, gene expression, and in situ messenger RNA (mRNA) hybridization. We demonstrate that 2D cultures of primary cells from mouse calvaria do form bona fide bone. Cells, ECM, and mineral within it exhibit morphology, structure, ultrastructure, composition, spatial-temporal gene expression pattern, and growth consistent with intramembranous ossification. However, this bone is just one of at least five different types of cell-ECM structures coexisting in the same 2D culture, which vary widely in their resemblance to bone and ability to mineralize. We show that the other two mineralizing structures may represent abnormal (disrupted) bone and cartilage-like structure with chondrocyte-to-osteoblast transdifferentiation. The two nonmineralizing cell-ECM structures may mimic periosteal cambium and pathological, nonmineralizing osteoid. Importantly, the most commonly used culture conditions (10mM β-glycerophosphate) induce artificial mineralization of all cell-ECM structures, which then become barely distinguishable. We therefore discuss conditions and approaches promoting formation of bona fide bone and simple means for distinguishing it from the other cell-ECM structures. Our findings may improve osteoblast differentiation and function analyses based on 2D cultures and extend applications of these cultures to general bone biology and tissue engineering research.

Abstract
Background Abnormalities in calcium, phosphorus, PTH, vitamin D metabolism, bone, and vascular calcification occur in chronic kidney disease mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD). Calciphylaxis, involving painful, ulcerative skin lesions, is also a major problem associated with CKD-MBD. There are no quality medical interventions to address these clinical issues. Bone ASARM peptides are strong inhibitors of mineralization and induce hypophosphatemia by inhibiting phosphate uptake from the gut. We hypothesize treatment of CKD-MBD rats with ASARM peptides will reverse hyperphosphatemia, reduce soft-tissue calcification, and prevent calciphylaxis. Methods To test our hypothesis, we assessed the effects of synthetic ASARM peptide in rats that had undergone a subtotal 5/6th nephrectomy (56NEPHREX), a rodent model of CKD-MBD. All rats were fed a high phosphate diet (2% Pi) to worsen mineral metabolism defects. Changes in serum potassium, phosphate, BUN, creatinine, PTH, FGF23, and calcium were assessed in response to 28 days of ASARM peptide infusion. Also, changes in bone quality, soft-tissue calcification, and expression of gut Npt2b (Slc34a2) were studied following ASARM peptide treatment. Results Rats that had undergone 56NEPHREX treated with ASARM peptide showed major improvements in hyperphosphatemia, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and bone quality compared with vehicle controls. Also, ASARM-infused 56NEPHREX rats displayed improved renal, brain, and cardiovascular calcification. Notably, ASARM peptide infusion prevented the genesis of subdermal medial blood vessel calcification and calciphylaxis-like lesions in 56NEPHREX rats compared with vehicle controls. Conclusions ASARM peptide infusion corrects hyperphosphatemia and improves vascular calcification, renal calcification, brain calcification, bone quality, renal function, and skin mineralization abnormalities in 56NEPHREX rats. These findings confirm our hypothesis and support the utility of ASARM peptide treatment in patients with CKD-MBD.

Abstract
PhexL222P mouse is a new ENU mouse model for XLH disease due to Leu to Pro amino acid modification at position 222. PhexL222P mouse is characterized by growth retardation, hypophosphatemia, hypocalcemia, reduced body bone length, and increased epiphyseal growth plate thickness and femur diameter despite the increase in PHEXL222P expression. Actually, PhexL222P mice show an increase in Fgf23, Dmp1, and Mepe and Slc34a1 (Na-Pi IIa cotransporter) mRNA expression similar to those observed in Hyp mice. Femoral osteocalcin and sclerostin and Slc34a1 do not show any significant variation in PhexL222P mice. Molecular dynamics simulations support the experimental data. P222 might locally break the E217-Q224 β-sheet, which in turn might disrupt inter-β-sheet interactions. We can thus expect local protein misfolding, which might be responsible for the experimentally observed PHEXL222P loss of function. This model could be a valuable addition to the existing XLH model for further comprehension of the disease occurrence and testing of new therapies.

Abstract
A better understanding of the role of mineralized tissues and their associated factors in governing whole-body metabolism should be of value toward informing clinical strategies to treat mineralized tissue and metabolic disorders, such as diabetes and obesity. This perspective provides evidence suggesting a role for the arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) region, a sequence identified in several proteins secreted by bone cells, as well as other cells, in modulating systemic metabolic activity. We focus on (a) two of the SIBLING (small integrin-binding ligand, N-linked glycoprotein) family genes/proteins, bone sialoprotein (BSP) and osteopontin (OPN), (b) insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-1 & 2 (IGFBP-1, IGFBP-2) and (c) developmental endothelial locus 1 (DEL1) and milk fat globule–EGF factor-8 (MFG-E8). In addition, for our readers to appreciate the mounting evidence that a multitude of bone secreted factors affect the activity of other tissues, we provide a brief overview of other proteins, to include fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), phosphatase orphan 1 (PHOSPHO1), osteocalcin (OCN/BGLAP), tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP) and acidic serine aspartic-rich MEPE-associated motif (ASARM), along with known/suggested functions of these factors in influencing energy metabolism.

BMC Med Genomics 2022; 15:161. [PMID: 35842615 PMCID: PMC9287957 DOI: 10.1186/s12920-022-01305-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2021] [Accepted: 06/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Hypophosphatemic rickets (HR) is a rare genetic disorder associated with renal phosphate wasting and characterized by bone defects. Inactivating mutations in the phosphate regulating endopeptidase homolog X‑linked gene (PHEX) account for most cases of HR. The aim of this study was to identify causative variants in nine unrelated Chinese families associated with HR, and to determine potential pathogenicity of the identified variants. Methods Genomic DNA was isolated from the peripheral blood of HR patients and their healthy relatives, followed by next-generation sequencing and/or Sanger sequencing. In silico prediction combined with conservation analysis was performed to assess the effects of the variants, and 3D protein modeling was conducted to predict the functional effects on the encoded protein. Results All HR patients recruited in this study displayed bone deformities and tooth agenesis, as well as reduced serum phosphate levels and elevated urine phosphate levels. Nine PHEX variants were identified in eight families, including four novel variants (c.1661_1726del, c.980A > G, c.1078A > T, and c.1017_1051dup). Of the nine identified PHEX variants, five caused a truncated protein, two caused an altered amino acid, and the other two were the canonical splicing variants. Novel variants c.1336G > A and c.1364 T > C in SLC34A3 were also found in one family. Conservation analysis showed that all the amino acids corresponding to the missense variants were highly conserved. In silico analysis and 3D protein structure modeling confirmed the pathogenicity of these variants. Conclusions This study identified four novel variants in PHEX and two novel variants in SLC34A3 in a Chinese cohort with HR. Our findings highlight the dominant role of PHEX in HR, and expand the genotypic and phenotypic spectra of this disorder.

Abstract
Aims There is an increasing concern of osteoporotic fractures in the ageing population. Low-magnitude high-frequency vibration (LMHFV) was shown to significantly enhance osteoporotic fracture healing through alteration of osteocyte lacuno-canalicular network (LCN). Dentin matrix protein 1 (DMP1) in osteocytes is known to be responsible for maintaining the LCN and mineralization. This study aimed to investigate the role of osteocyte-specific DMP1 during osteoporotic fracture healing augmented by LMHFV. Methods A metaphyseal fracture was created in the distal femur of ovariectomy-induced osteoporotic Sprague Dawley rats. Rats were randomized to five different groups: 1) DMP1 knockdown (KD), 2) DMP1 KD + vibration (VT), 3) Scramble + VT, 4) VT, and 5) control (CT), where KD was performed by injection of short hairpin RNA (shRNA) into marrow cavity; vibration treatment was conducted at 35 Hz, 0.3 g; 20 minutes/day, five days/week). Assessments included radiography, micro-CT, dynamic histomorphometry and immunohistochemistry on DMP1, sclerostin, E11, and fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23). In vitro, murine long bone osteocyte-Y4 (MLO-Y4) osteocyte-like cells were randomized as in vivo groupings. DMP1 KD was performed by transfecting cells with shRNA plasmid. Assessments included immunocytochemistry on osteocyte-specific markers as above, and mineralized nodule staining. Results Healing capacities in DMP1 KD groups were impaired. Results showed that DMP1 KD significantly abolished vibration-enhanced fracture healing at week 6. DMP1 KD significantly altered the expression of osteocyte-specific markers. The lower mineralization rate in DMP1 KD groups indicated that DMP1 knockdown was associated with poor fracture healing process. Conclusion The blockage of DMP1 would impair healing outcomes and negate LMHFV-induced enhancement on fracture healing. These findings reveal the importance of DMP1 in response to the mechanical signal during osteoporotic fracture healing. Cite this article: Bone Joint Res 2022;11(7):465–476.

Function of PHEX mutations p.Glu145* and p.Trp749Arg in families with X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets by the negative regulation mechanism on FGF23 promoter transcription. Cell Death Dis 2022; 13:518. [PMID: 35654784 PMCID: PMC9163062 DOI: 10.1038/s41419-022-04969-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2021] [Revised: 05/23/2022] [Accepted: 05/24/2022] [Indexed: 01/21/2023]
Abstract
X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH) is characterized by increased circulating fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) concentration caused by PHEX (NM_000444.5) mutations. Renal tubular resorption of phosphate is impaired, resulting in rickets and impaired bone mineralization. By phenotypic-genetic linkage analysis, two PHEX pathogenic mutations were found in two XLH families: c.433 G > T, p.Glu145* in exon 4 and c.2245 T > C, p.Trp749Arg in exon 22. Immunofluorescence showed that the localization of p.Glu145* and p.Trp749Arg mutant and secretory PHEX (secPHEX) changed, with decreased expression. In a HEK293T cell model co-transfected with PHEX, secPHEX, and FGF23, wild-type PHEX, secPHEX, and FGF23 proteins were distributed in the cell membrane or endoplasmic reticulum, while the mutant was located in the nuclear membrane and cytoplasm. qPCR of p.Glu145* revealed decreased PHEX and secPHEX mRNA expression in cells, with no difference in mRNA expression of p.Trp749Arg. Both mutations decreased intracellular PHEX endopeptidase activity. Western blot analysis showed decrease in mutant and secPHEX protein expression and no FGF23 protein expression in single-transfected PHEX and secPHEX cells. In cells co-transfected with FGF23, PHEX and secPHEX mutation promoted FGF23 expression. Dual-luciferase reporter gene was used to detect the effect of PHEX on FGF23 promoter. The dual-luciferase reporter gene showed that after PHEX overexpression, the activity of mutant firefly luciferase was significantly higher than that of wild type. The regulatory mechanism between PHEX and FGF23 is still unclear, but we found that PHEX is a direct transcriptional inhibitor of FGF23 and affects the expression of FGF23. This study verified the pathogenicity of the two variants and revealed the possible regulatory mechanism between PHEX and FGF23.

Abstract
MAF1, a key repressor of RNA polymerase (pol) III-mediated transcription, has been shown to promote mesoderm formation in vitro. Here, we show that MAF1 plays a critical role in regulating osteoblast differentiation and bone mass. Global deletion of MAF1 (Maf1-/- mice) produced a high bone mass phenotype. However, osteoblasts isolated from Maf1-/- mice showed reduced osteoblastogenesis ex vivo. Therefore, we determined the phenotype of mice overexpressing MAF1 in cells from the mesenchymal lineage (Prx1-Cre;LSL-MAF1 mice). These mice showed increased bone mass. Ex vivo, cells from these mice showed enhanced osteoblastogenesis concordant with their high bone mass phenotype. Thus, the high bone mass phenotype in Maf1-/- mice is likely due to confounding effects from the global absence of MAF1. MAF1 overexpression promoted osteoblast differentiation of ST2 cells while MAF1 downregulation inhibited differentiation, indicating MAF1 enhances osteoblast formation. However, other perturbations used to repress RNA pol III transcription, inhibited osteoblast differentiation. However, decreasing RNA pol III transcription through these perturbations enhanced adipogenesis in ST2 cells. RNA-seq analyzed the basis for these opposing actions on osteoblast differentiation. The different modalities used to perturb RNA pol III transcription resulted in distinct gene expression changes, indicating that this transcription process is highly sensitive and triggers diverse gene expression programs and phenotypic outcomes. Specifically, MAF1 induced genes known to promote osteoblast differentiation. Furthermore, genes that are induced during osteoblast differentiation displayed codon bias. Together, these results reveal a novel role for MAF1 and RNA pol III-mediated transcription in osteoblast fate determination, differentiation, and bone mass regulation.

Abstract
Understanding the underlying mechanisms that regulate the bone phosphorus (P) utilization would be helpful for developing feasible strategies to improve utilization efficiency of P in poultry. We aimed to investigate the effects of inorganic P levels on P utilization, local bone-derived regulators and bone morphogenetic protein/mitogen-activated protein kinase (BMP/MAPK) pathway in primary cultured osteoblasts of broiler chicks in order to address whether local bone-derived regulators or BMP/MAPK pathway was involved in regulating the bone P utilization of broilers using an in vitro model. The primary cultured tibial osteoblasts of broiler chicks were randomly divided into one of five treatments with six replicates for each treatment. Then, cells were respectively incubated with 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, or 2.0 mmol/L of added P as NaH2PO4 for 24 days. The results showed that as added P levels increased, tibial osteoblastic P retention rate, number and area of mineralized nodules, the mRNA expressions of endopeptidases on the X chromosome (PHEX), dentin matrix protein 1 (DMP1), bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2), and the mRNA and protein expressions of matrix extracellular phosphoglycoprotein (MEPE) increased linearly (p < 0.001) or quadratically (p < 0.04), while extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 (ERK1) mRNA expression and c-Jun N-terminal kinase 1 (JNK1) phosphorylated level decreased linearly (p < 0.02) or quadratically (p < 0.01). Correlation analyses showed that tibial osteoblastic P retention rate was positively correlated (r = 0.452–0.564, p < 0.03) with MEPE and BMP2 mRNA expressions. Furthermore, both number and area of mineralized nodules were positively correlated (r = 0.414–0.612, p < 0.03) with PHEX, DMP1, MEPE, and BMP2 mRNA expressions but negatively correlated (r = −0.566 to −0.414, p < 0.04) with the ERK1 mRNA expression and JNK1 phosphorylated level. These results suggested that P utilization in primary cultured tibial osteoblasts of broiler chicks might be partly regulated by PHEX, DMP1, MEPE, BMP2, ERK1, and JNK1.

Expert Rev Anti Infect Ther 2022; 20:231-241. [PMID: 34112047 PMCID: PMC8477590 DOI: 10.1080/14787210.2021.1941871] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2021] [Accepted: 06/09/2021] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Global emergence of coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) has clearly shown variable severity, mortality, and frequency between and within populations worldwide. These striking differences have made many biological variables attractive for future investigations. One of these variables, vitamin D, has been implicated in COVID-19 with rapidly growing scientific evidence. AREAS COVERED The review intended to systematically explore the sources, and immunomodulatory role of vitamin D in COVID-19. Search engines and data sources including Google Scholar, PubMed, NCBI, Scopus, and Web of Science were used for data collection. The search terms used were Vitamin D, COVID-19, immune system, and antiviral mechanism. Overall, 232 sources of information were collected and 188 were included in this review. EXPERT OPINION Interaction of vitamin D and vitamin D receptor (VDR) triggers the cellular events to modulate the immune system by regulation of many genes. Vitamin D operates as a double-edged sword against COVID-19. First, in macrophages, it promotes the production of antimicrobial and antiviral proteins like β-defensin 2 and cathelicidin, and these proteins inhibit the replication of viral particles and promote the clearance of virus from the cells by autophagy. Second, it suppresses cytokine storm and inflammatory processes in COVID-19.

New Insights to the Crosstalk between Vascular and Bone Tissue in Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral and Bone Disorder. Metabolites 2021; 11:metabo11120849. [PMID: 34940607 PMCID: PMC8708186 DOI: 10.3390/metabo11120849] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2021] [Revised: 11/30/2021] [Accepted: 12/02/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Vasculature plays a key role in bone development and the maintenance of bone tissue throughout life. The two organ systems are not only linked in normal physiology, but also in pathophysiological conditions. The chronic kidney disease–mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) is still the most serious complication to CKD, resulting in increased morbidity and mortality. Current treatment therapies aimed at the phosphate retention and parathyroid hormone disturbances fail to reduce the high cardiovascular mortality in CKD patients, underlining the importance of other factors in the complex syndrome. This review will focus on vascular disease and its interplay with bone disorders in CKD. It will present the very late data showing a direct effect of vascular calcification on bone metabolism, indicating a vascular-bone tissue crosstalk in CKD. The calcified vasculature not only suffers from the systemic effects of CKD but seems to be an active player in the CKD-MBD syndrome impairing bone metabolism and might be a novel target for treatment and prevention.

Abstract
Background Eggshell is a bio-ceramic material comprising columnar calcite (CaCO3) crystals and organic proteinaceous matrix. The size, shape and orientation of the CaCO3 crystals influence the microstructural properties of chicken eggshells. However, the genetic architecture underlying eggshell crystal polymorphism remains to be elucidated. Results The integral intensity of the nine major diffraction peaks, total integral intensity and degree of orientation of the crystals were measured followed by a genome-wide association study in 839 F2 hens. The results showed that the total integral intensity was positively correlated with the eggshell strength, eggshell thickness, eggshell weight, mammillary layer thickness and effective layer thickness. The SNP-based heritabilities of total integral intensity and degree of orientation were 0.23 and 0.06, respectively. The 621 SNPs located in the range from 55.6 to 69.1 Mb in GGA1 were significantly associated with TA. PLCZ1, ABCC9, ITPR2, KCNJ8, CACNA1C and IAPP, which are involved in the biological process of regulating cytosolic calcium ion concentration, can be suggested as key genes regulating the total integral intensity. Conclusions The findings greatly advance the understanding of the genetic basis underlying the crystal ultrastructure of eggshell quality and thus will have practical significance in breeding programs for improving eggshell quality.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW We took an interdisciplinary view to examine the potential contribution of perilacunar/canalicular remodeling to declines in bone fracture resistance related to age or progression of osteoporosis. RECENT FINDINGS Perilacunar remodeling is most prominent as a result of lactation; recent advances further elucidate the molecular players involved and their effect on bone material properties. Of these, vitamin D and calcitonin could be active during aging or osteoporosis. Menopause-related hormonal changes or osteoporosis therapies affect bone material properties and mechanical behavior. However, investigations of lacunar size or osteocyte TRAP activity with age or osteoporosis do not provide clear evidence for or against perilacunar remodeling. While the occurrence and potential role of perilacunar remodeling in aging and osteoporosis progression are largely under-investigated, widespread changes in bone matrix composition in OVX models and following osteoporosis therapies imply osteocytic maintenance of bone matrix. Perilacunar remodeling-induced changes in bone porosity, bone matrix composition, and bone adaptation could have significant implications for bone fracture resistance.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sclerostin could enhance renal excretion of calcium (Ca) and phosphate (P). The association between sclerostin and magnesium (Mg) has not yet discovered. In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) or chronic kidney disease (CKD), higher serum sclerostin and altered renal excretion of Ca, P, and Mg were detected. Therefore, we tried to evaluate if there was any association between sclerostin and fractional excretion of Ca, P, and Mg (FeCa, FeP, and FeMg) in T2DM with CKD. METHODS In this prospective cohort study, 43 T2DM patients without CKD or with CKD stage 1-5 were enrolled. Values of parameters, including serum and urine sclerostin, were collected at baseline and 6 months later. For baseline data, the Mann-Whitney U test, χ2 test, or Spearman's correlation were used. For multivariate repeated measurement analysis, generalized estimating equation (GEE) model was utilized. RESULTS Patients with lower estimated glomerular filtration rate had higher serum sclerostin, FeP, FeMg, and lower FeCa. By correlation analysis, serum sclerostin was negatively associated with FeCa (p = 0.02) and positively associated with FeP (p = 0.002). The urine sclerostin to creatinine ratio (Uscl/Ucre) was positively correlated with FeP (p = 0.007) and FeMg (p = 0.005). After multivariate analyses by GEE model, serum sclerostin was still inversely associated with FeCa, while Uscl/Ucre was significantly associated with FeMg. On the other hand, FeP lost its associations with serum sclerostin or Uscl/Ucre. CONCLUSION In our study population of T2DM patients with or without CKD, the inverse correlation between serum sclerostin and FeCa could not be explained by the calciuric effect of sclerostin. In addition, a newly discovered positive association between urinary sclerostin and FeMg indicated a possible role of urinary sclerostin in regulating renal Mg handling especially over distal convoluted tubules.

Osteocyte Dysfunction in Joint Homeostasis and Osteoarthritis. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22126522.

Abstract
Structural disturbances of the subchondral bone are a hallmark of osteoarthritis (OA), including sclerotic changes, cystic lesions, and osteophyte formation. Osteocytes act as mechanosensory units for the micro-cracks in response to mechanical loading. Once stimulated, osteocytes initiate the reparative process by recruiting bone-resorbing cells and bone-forming cells to maintain bone homeostasis. Osteocyte-expressed sclerostin is known as a negative regulator of bone formation through Wnt signaling and the RANKL pathway. In this review, we will summarize current understandings of osteocytes at the crossroad of allometry and mechanobiology to exploit the relationship between osteocyte morphology and function in the context of joint aging and osteoarthritis. We also aimed to summarize the osteocyte dysfunction and its link with structural and functional disturbances of the osteoarthritic subchondral bone at the molecular level. Compared with normal bones, the osteoarthritic subchondral bone is characterized by a higher bone volume fraction, a larger trabecular bone number in the load-bearing region, and an increase in thickness of pre-existing trabeculae. This may relate to the aberrant expressions of sclerostin, periostin, dentin matrix protein 1, matrix extracellular phosphoglycoprotein, insulin-like growth factor 1, and transforming growth factor-beta, among others. The number of osteocyte lacunae embedded in OA bone is also significantly higher, yet the volume of individual lacuna is relatively smaller, which could suggest abnormal metabolism in association with allometry. The remarkably lower percentage of sclerostin-positive osteocytes, together with clustering of Runx-2 positive pre-osteoblasts, may suggest altered regulation of osteoblast differentiation and osteoblast-osteocyte transformation affected by both signaling molecules and the extracellular matrix. Aberrant osteocyte morphology and function, along with anomalies in molecular signaling mechanisms, might explain in part, if not all, the pre-osteoblast clustering and the uncoupled bone remodeling in OA subchondral bone.

Abstract
Abnormal bone metabolism is an integral part of the chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD). For several reasons, the difficult bone compartment was neglected for some time, but there has been renewed interest as a result of the conception of bone as a new endocrine organ, the increasing recognition of the cross-talk between bone and vessels, and, especially, the very high risk of osteoporotic fractures (and associated mortality) demonstrated in patients with CKD. Therefore, it has been acknowledged in different guidelines that action is needed in respect of fracture risk assessment and the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis in the context of CKD and CKD-MBD, even beyond renal osteodystrophy. These updated guidelines clearly underline the need to improve a non-invasive approach to these bone disorders in order to guide treatment decisions aimed at not only controlling CKD-MBD but also decreasing the risk of fracture. In this report, we review the current role of the most often clinically used or promising biochemical circulating biomarkers such as parathyroid hormone, alkaline phosphatases, and other biochemical markers of bone activity as alternatives to some aspects of bone histomorphometry. We also mention the potential role of classic and new imaging techniques for CKD patients. Information on many aspects is still scarce and heterogeneous, but many of us consider that it is indeed time for action, recognizing our definitely limited ability to base certain treatment decisions only on our current non-comprehensive knowledge.

Abstract
The heterogeneity of "rare bone disorders" can be explained by the number of molecules and regulatory pathways which are responsible for bone health and normal stature. In this article, the most important basic principles behind bone homeostasis from development to structure and regulation of the growing skeleton are summarized. The aim is to provide the reader with some theoretical background to understand the nature of the different main groups of disorders affecting bone stability, longitudinal growth and disturbances of calcium and phosphate homeostasis.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) has been described as an important regulator of mineral homeostasis, but has lately also been linked to iron deficiency, inflammation, and erythropoiesis. FGF23 is essential for the maintenance of phosphate homeostasis in the body and activating mutations in the gene itself or inactivating mutations in its upstream regulators can result in severe chronic hypophosphatemia, where an unbalanced mineral homeostasis often leads to rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults. FGF23 can be regulated by changes in transcriptional activity or by changes at the post-translational level. The balance between O-glycosylation and phosphorylation is an important determinant of how much active intact or inactive cleaved FGF23 will be released in the circulation. In the past years, it has become evident that iron deficiency and inflammation regulate FGF23 in a way that is not associated with its classical role in mineral metabolism. These conditions will not only result in an upregulation of FGF23 transcription, but also in increased cleavage, leaving the levels of active intact FGF23 unchanged. The exact mechanisms behind and function of this process are still unclear. However, a deeper understanding of FGF23 regulation in both the classical and non-classical way is important to develop better treatment options for diseases associated with disturbed FGF23 biology. In this review, we describe how the currently known upstream regulators of FGF23 change FGF23 transcription and affect its post-translational modifications at the molecular level.

Abstract
Phosphate homeostasis involves several major organs that are the skeleton, the intestine, the kidney, and parathyroid glands. Major regulators of phosphate homeostasis are parathormone, fibroblast growth factor 23, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, which respond to variations of serum phosphate levels and act to increase or decrease intestinal absorption and renal tubular reabsorption, through the modulation of expression of transcellular transporters at the intestinal and/or renal tubular level. Any acquired or genetic dysfunction in these major organs or regulators may induce hypo- or hyperphosphatemia. The causes of hypo- and hyperphosphatemia are numerous. This review develops the main causes of acquired and genetic hypo- and hyperphosphatemia.

Abstract
Since calcium and phosphorus play vital roles in a multitude of physiologic systems, disorders of calcium and phosphorus metabolism always lead to severe consequences such as skeletal-related and cardiovascular morbidity, or even life-threatening. Physiologically, the maintenance of calcium and phosphorus homeostasis is achieved via a variety of concerted actions of hormones such as parathyroid hormone (PTH), vitamin D, and fibroblast growth factor (FGF23), which could be regulated mainly at three organs, the intestine, kidney, and bone. Disruption of any organ or factor might lead to disorders of calcium and phosphorus metabolism. Currently, lacking of accurate diagnostic approaches and unknown molecular basis of pathophysiology will result in patients being unable to receive a precise diagnosis and personalized treatment timely. Therefore, it is urgent to identify early diagnostic biomarkers and develop therapeutic strategies. Fortunately, proteomics and metabolomics offer promising tools to discover novel indicators and further understanding of pathological mechanisms. Therefore, in this review, we will give a systematic introduction on PTH-1,25(OH)2D-FGF23 axis in the disorders of calcium and phosphorus metabolism, diagnostic biomarkers identified, and potential altered metabolic pathways involved.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION X-linked hypophosphataemic rickets/osteomalacia (XLH) is a chronic, debilitating genetic disease characterised by skeletal abnormalities and growth disorder. The burden of XLH begins in childhood and continues throughout life. Conventional medical therapy with phosphate, active vitamin D and surgery do not address the underlying pathophysiology of the disease. While treatment during childhood may improve bone deformity and growth retardation, a large proportion of adult patients still fail to reach normal stature. Furthermore, adult patients with XLH report comorbidities associated with unresolved childhood disease, as well as newly developed disease-related complications and significantly impaired quality of life (QOL). Despite the multiple negative aspects of XLH, Asian consensus statements for diagnosis and management are lacking. METHODS AND ANALYSIS The Study of longitUdinal observatioN For patients with X-Linked hypOphosphataemic rickets/osteomalacia in collaboration With Asian partnERs study is a longitudinal observational cohort study of patients with XLH, designed to determine the medical characteristics and burdens (physical, emotional and financial) of this progressive disease and to evaluate the impact of treatment (including the use of burosumab) on clinical outcomes. The study was initiated in April 2018, and registration will remain open until 30 April 2022. The sample size planned for analyses is 160 patients, consisting of 100 patients in Japan and 60 patients in Korea. Up to 5 years of observation are planned per patient, from enrolment through to April 2023. Prospective and retrospective data will be collected to evaluate variables, including height/growth, rickets severity score, QOL, motor function and biomarkers for phosphate metabolism and bone turnover. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Ethics approval was obtained from the Ethics Committee of Osaka University, the Ethics Committee of Kyowa Kirin Co and by the Ethics Committee of each participating medical institution. Two interim analyses and associated publications are planned using retrospective and enrolment data at year 1 and results at year 3. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBERS NCT03745521; UMIN000031605.

Abstract
X-linked hypophosphataemia (XLH) is the most prevalent form of hereditary rickets characterized by an alteration of phosphate metabolism which frequently leads to the appearance of fractures, bone deformities and growth delay. Although the mechanism of growth impairment in patients with XLH still needs to be clarified, it is known that this alteration is not due to genetic or endocrine factors. A potential explanation for the impairment of growth in this disease is the alteration of the growth plate, a structure responsible for longitudinal growth of bones. Some of the findings in the growth plate of patients with XLH include atypical organization of chondrocytes due to low rates of proliferation and apoptosis and disturbance of chondrocyte hypertrophy, overactivation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signalling pathway and upregulation of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (pERK). Conventional treatment of XLH (consisting of oral phosphate supplements and active vitamin D analogues) is often insufficient for the longitudinal growth of bone, but other strategies based on recombinant growth hormone or therapies targeting fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) or its receptor, such as burosumab, have shown promising results. This article briefly describes the relationship between XLH and growth retardation, and how to address this alteration in patients with XLH.

Abstract
Phosphate is an essential nutrient for life and is a critical component of bone formation, a major signaling molecule, and structural component of cell walls. Phosphate is also a component of high-energy compounds (i.e., AMP, ADP, and ATP) and essential for nucleic acid helical structure (i.e., RNA and DNA). Phosphate plays a central role in the process of mineralization, normal serum levels being associated with appropriate bone mineralization, while high and low serum levels are associated with soft tissue calcification. The serum concentration of phosphate and the total body content of phosphate are highly regulated, a process that is accomplished by the coordinated effort of two families of sodium-dependent transporter proteins. The three isoforms of the SLC34 family (SLC34A1-A3) show very restricted tissue expression and regulate intestinal absorption and renal excretion of phosphate. SLC34A2 also regulates the phosphate concentration in multiple lumen fluids including milk, saliva, pancreatic fluid, and surfactant. Both isoforms of the SLC20 family exhibit ubiquitous expression (with some variation as to which one or both are expressed), are regulated by ambient phosphate, and likely serve the phosphate needs of the individual cell. These proteins exhibit similarities to phosphate transporters in nonmammalian organisms. The proteins are nonredundant as mutations in each yield unique clinical presentations. Further research is essential to understand the function, regulation, and coordination of the various phosphate transporters, both the ones described in this review and the phosphate transporters involved in intracellular transport.

Abstract
X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH), caused by a loss-of-function mutation in the phosphate regulating gene with homology to endopeptidase located on the X chromosome (PHEX), is the most common form of vitamin D-resistant rickets. Loss of functional PHEX results in elevated fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) levels, impaired phosphate reabsorption, and inhibited skeletal mineralization. Sclerostin, a protein produced primarily in osteocytes, suppresses bone formation by antagonizing Wnt signaling and is reported to be elevated in XLH patients. This study used the Hyp mouse model to investigate sclerostin's role in the pathophysiology of XLH by evaluating the use of a monoclonal antibody to sclerostin in a mouse model of XLH, the Hyp mouse. Male and female wild-type and Hyp littermates were injected with 25 mg/kg of vehicle or sclerostin antibody (Scl-Ab) twice weekly, beginning at 4 weeks of age and euthanized at 8 weeks of age. Scl-Ab treatment increased serum phosphate levels and suppressed circulating levels of intact FGF23 in treated wild-type and Hyp mice of both sexes. Cortical area, trabecular bone volume fraction (BV/TV), metaphyseal apparent density, and the peak load increased with Scl-Ab treatment in both sexes. This short-term treatment study suggests that Scl-Ab treatment can effectively improve some of the pathologies associated with XLH, including normalization of phosphate, and that sclerostin may play a role in regulating FGF23 and phosphate metabolism in XLH. © 2019 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Abstract
Over the past 25 years, successive cloning of SLC34A1, SLC34A2 and SLC34A3, which encode the sodium-dependent inorganic phosphate (Pi) cotransport proteins 2a-2c, has facilitated the identification of molecular mechanisms that underlie the regulation of renal and intestinal Pi transport. Pi and various hormones, including parathyroid hormone and phosphatonins, such as fibroblast growth factor 23, regulate the activity of these Pi transporters through transcriptional, translational and post-translational mechanisms involving interactions with PDZ domain-containing proteins, lipid microdomains and acute trafficking of the transporters via endocytosis and exocytosis. In humans and rodents, mutations in any of the three transporters lead to dysregulation of epithelial Pi transport with effects on serum Pi levels and can cause cardiovascular and musculoskeletal damage, illustrating the importance of these transporters in the maintenance of local and systemic Pi homeostasis. Functional and structural studies have provided insights into the mechanism by which these proteins transport Pi, whereas in vivo and ex vivo cell culture studies have identified several small molecules that can modify their transport function. These small molecules represent potential new drugs to help maintain Pi homeostasis in patients with chronic kidney disease - a condition that is associated with hyperphosphataemia and severe cardiovascular and skeletal consequences.

Abstract
Objectives X-linked hypophosphataemic rickets (XLHR) is a disease of impaired bone mineralization characterized by hypophosphataemia caused by renal phosphate wasting. The main clinical manifestations of the disorder are O-shaped legs, X-shaped legs, delayed growth, and bone pain. XLHR is the most common inheritable form of rickets, with an incidence of 1/20 000 in humans. It accounts for approximately 80% of familial cases of hypophosphataemia and serves as the prototype of defective tubular phosphate (PO43+) transport, due to extra renal defects resulting in unregulated FGF23 activity. XLHR is caused by loss-of-function mutations in the PHEX gene. The aim of this research was to identify the genetic defect responsible for familial hypophosphataemic rickets in a four-generation Chinese Han pedigree and to analyze the function of this mutation. Methods The genome DNA samples of all members in the pedigree were extracted from whole blood. We sequenced all exons of the PHEX and FGF23 genes, as well as the adjacent splice site sequence with Sanger sequencing. Next, we analyzed the de novo mutation c.1692 del A of the PHEX gene with an online digital service and investigated the mutant PHEX with SWISS-MODEL, immunofluorescence, and protein stability detection. Results Through Sanger sequencing, we found a de novo mutation, c.1692 del A, in exon 16 of the PHEX gene in this pedigree. This mutation can make the PHEX protein become unstable and decay rapidly, which results in familial XLHR. Conclusion We have found a de novo loss-of-function mutation, c.1692 del A, in exon 16 of the PHEX gene that can cause XLHR. Cite this article: J. Huang, X. Bao, W. Xia, L. Zhu, J. Zhang, J. Ma, N.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is mainly produced in the bone and, upon secretion, forms a complex with a FGF receptor and coreceptor αKlotho. FGF23 can exert several endocrine functions, such as inhibiting renal phosphate reabsorption and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 production. Moreover, it has paracrine activities on several cell types, including neutrophils and hepatocytes. Klotho and Fgf23 deficiencies result in pathologies otherwise encountered in age-associated diseases, mainly as a result of hyperphosphataemia-dependent calcification. FGF23 levels are also perturbed in the plasma of patients with several disorders, including kidney or cardiovascular diseases. Here, we review mechanisms controlling FGF23 production and discuss how FGF23 regulation is perturbed in disease.

Abstract
X-linked hypophosphataemia (XLH) is the most common cause of inherited phosphate wasting and is associated with severe complications such as rickets, lower limb deformities, pain, poor mineralization of the teeth and disproportionate short stature in children as well as hyperparathyroidism, osteomalacia, enthesopathies, osteoarthritis and pseudofractures in adults. The characteristics and severity of XLH vary between patients. Because of its rarity, the diagnosis and specific treatment of XLH are frequently delayed, which has a detrimental effect on patient outcomes. In this Evidence-Based Guideline, we recommend that the diagnosis of XLH is based on signs of rickets and/or osteomalacia in association with hypophosphataemia and renal phosphate wasting in the absence of vitamin D or calcium deficiency. Whenever possible, the diagnosis should be confirmed by molecular genetic analysis or measurement of levels of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) before treatment. Owing to the multisystemic nature of the disease, patients should be seen regularly by multidisciplinary teams organized by a metabolic bone disease expert. In this article, we summarize the current evidence and provide recommendations on features of the disease, including new treatment modalities, to improve knowledge and provide guidance for diagnosis and multidisciplinary care.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To find out if cardiovascular alterations are present in pediatric patients with X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH). STUDY DESIGN Multicentre prospective clinical study on pediatric patients included in the RenalTube database ( www.renaltube.com ) with genetically confirmed diagnosis of XLH by mutations in the PHEX gene. The study's protocol consisted of biochemical work-up, 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), carotid ultrasonography, and echocardiogram. All patients were on chronic treatment with phosphate supplements and 1-hydroxy vitamin D metabolites. RESULTS Twenty-four patients (17 females, from 1 to 17 years of age) were studied. Serum concentrations (X ± SD) of phosphate and intact parathyroid hormone were 2.66 ± 0.60 mg/dl and 58.3 ± 26.8 pg/ml, respectively. Serum fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) concentration was 278.18 ± 294.45 pg/ml (normal < 60 pg/ml). Abnormally high carotid intima media thickness was found in one patient, who was obese and hypertensive as revealed by ABPM, which disclosed arterial hypertension in two other patients. Z scores for echocardiographic interventricular septum end diastole and left ventricular posterior wall end diastole were + 0.77 ± 0.77 and + 0.94 ± 0.86, respectively. Left ventricular mass index (LVMI) was 44.93 ± 19.18 g/m2.7, and four patients, in addition to the obese one, had values greater than 51 g/m2.7, indicative of left ventricular hypertrophy. There was no correlation between these echocardiographic parameters and serum FGF23 concentrations. CONCLUSIONS XLH pediatric patients receiving conventional treatment have echocardiographic measurements of ventricular mass within normal reference values, but above the mean, and 18% have LVMI suggestive of left ventricular hypertrophy without correlation with serum FGF23 concentrations. This might indicate an increased risk of cardiovascular involvement in XLH.

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

Abstract
Background 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.

Effects of different training modalities on phosphate homeostasis and local vitamin D metabolism in rat bone. PeerJ 2019; 7:e6184.

Abstract
Objectives Mechanical loading may be an important factor in the regulation of bone derived hormones involved in phosphate homeostasis. This study investigated the effects of peak power and endurance training on expression levels of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) and 1α-hydroxylase (CYP27b1) in bone. Methods Thirty-eight rats were assigned to six weeks of training in four groups: peak power (PT), endurance (ET), PT followed by ET (PET) or no training (control). In cortical bone, FGF23 was quantified using immunohistochemistry. mRNA expression levels of proteins involved in phosphate and vitamin D homeostasis were quantified in cortical bone and kidney. C-terminal FGF23, 25-hydroxyvitamin D3, parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcium and phosphate concentrations were measured in plasma or serum. Results Neither FGF23 mRNA and protein expression levels in cortical bone nor FGF23 plasma concentrations differed between the groups. In cortical bone, mRNA expression levels of sclerostin (SOST), dental matrix protein 1 (DMP1), phosphate-regulating gene with homologies to endopeptidases on the X chromosome (PHEX) and matrix extracellular phosphoglycoprotein (MEPE) were lower after PT compared to ET and PET. Expression levels of CYP27b1 and vitamin D receptor (VDR) in tibial bone were decreased after PT compared to ET. In kidney, no differences between groups were observed for mRNA expression levels of CYP27b1, 24-hydroxylase (CYP24), VDR, NaPi-IIa cotransporter (NPT2a) and NaPi-IIc cotransporter (NPT2c). Serum PTH concentrations were higher after PT compared to controls. Conclusion After six weeks, none of the training modalities induced changes in FGF23 expression levels. However, PT might have caused changes in local phosphate regulation within bone compared to ET and PET. CYP27b1 and VDR expression in bone was reduced after PT compared to ET, suggesting high intensity peak power training in this rat model is associated with decreased vitamin D signalling in bone.

Abstract
X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is the most common monogenic disorder causing hypophosphatemia. This case-note review documents the clinical features and the complications of treatment in 59 adults (19 male, 40 female) with XLH. XLH is associated with a large number of private mutations; 37 different mutations in the PHEX gene were identified in this cohort, 14 of which have not been previously reported. Orthopaedic involvement requiring surgical intervention (osteotomy) was frequent. Joint replacement and decompressive laminectomy were observed in those older than 40 years. Dental disease (63%), nephrocalcinosis (42%), and hearing impairment (14%) were also common. The rarity of the disease and the large number of variants make it difficult to discern specific genotype-phenotype relationships. A new treatment, an anti-FGF23 antibody, that may affect the natural history of the disease is currently being investigated in clinical trials.

Abstract
Refractory rickets is a genetic disorder that cannot be treated by vitamin D supplementation and adequate dietary calcium and phosphorus. Hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets is one of the major forms of refractory rickets in Indian children and caused due to mutations in the PHEX , FGF23 , DMP1 , ENPP1 , and SLC34A3 genes. This is the first study in India on a large number of patients reporting on mutational screening of the PHEX gene. Direct sequencing in 37 patients with refractory rickets revealed eight mutations in 13 patients of which 1 was nonsense, 2 were deletions, 1 was a deletion-insertion, and 4 were missense mutations. Of these mutations, four (c.566_567 delAG, c.651_654delACAT, c.1337delinsAATAA, and c.2048T > A) were novel mutations. This article discusses the mutations in Indian patients, collates information on the genetic causes of refractory rickets, and emphasizes the significance of genetic testing for precise diagnosis, timely treatment, and management of the condition, especially in developing countries.

Abstract
The fibroblast growth factor (FGF) regulatory axis is phylogenetically ancient, evolving into a large mammalian/human gene family of 22 ligands that bind to four receptor tyrosine kinases for a complex physiologic system controlling cell growth, differentiation, and metabolism. The tissue targets for the primary FGF function are mainly in cartilage and in bone for morphogenesis, mineralization, and metabolism. A multitude of complexities in the FGF ligand-receptor signaling pathways have made translation into therapies for FGF-related bone disorders such as osteomalacia, osteoarthritis, and osteoporosis difficult but not impossible.

Abstract
The inhibition of bone healing in humans is a well-established effect associated with cigarette smoking, but the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. Recent work using animal cell lines have implicated the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) as a mediator of the anti-osteogenic effects of cigarette smoke, but the complexity of cigarette smoke mixtures makes understanding the mechanisms of action a major challenge. 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD, dioxin) is a high-affinity AhR ligand that is frequently used to investigate biological processes impacted by AhR activation. Since there are dozens of AhR ligands present in cigarette smoke, we utilized dioxin as a prototype ligand to activate the receptor and explore its effects on pro-osteogenic biomarkers and other factors critical to osteogenesis using a human osteoblast-like cell line. We also explored the capacity for AhR antagonists to protect against dioxin action in this context. We found dioxin to inhibit osteogenic differentiation, whereas co-treatment with various AhR antagonists protected against dioxin action. Dioxin also negatively impacted cell adhesion with a corresponding reduction in the expression of integrin and cadherin proteins, which are known to be involved in this process. Similarly, the dioxin-mediated inhibition of cell migration correlated with reduced expression of the chemokine receptor CXCR4 and its ligand, CXCL12, and co-treatment with antagonists restored migratory capacity. Our results suggest that AhR activation may play a role in the bone regenerative response in humans exposed to AhR activators, such as those present in cigarette smoke. Given the similarity of our results using a human cell line to previous work done in murine cells, animal models may yield data relevant to the human setting. In addition, the AhR may represent a potential therapeutic target for orthopedic patients who smoke cigarettes, or those who are exposed to secondhand smoke or other environmental sources of aryl hydrocarbons.

Abstract
Ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) is a novel iron formulation increasingly prescribed due to its effectiveness and fast infusion time. FCM administration can cause an asymptomatic hypophosphataemia secondary to fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) dysregulation. In patients with chronic iron needs, however, a severe, long-lasting hypophosphataemia can lead to osteomalacia with associated bone pain. Lack of awareness of this complication results in delayed time to diagnosis and significant morbidity. We report a case of a patient with Crohn's disease and chronic iron-deficiency anaemia receiving multiple doses of FCM who developed severe hypophosphataemic osteomalacia with urinary phosphate loss and increased FGF23. FGF23 excess and osteomalacia resolved only months after FCM discontinuation and aggressive phosphate repletion. Potential mechanisms of FGF23 dysregulation are discussed, with the aim of raising awareness of this significant side effect for prescribers of chronic intravenous iron supplementation, and to help guide future studies to determine the safety of FCM in all patient populations.

Abstract
Rickets is a metabolic bone disease that develops as a result of inadequate mineralization of growing bone due to disruption of calcium, phosphorus and/or vitamin D metabolism. Nutritional rickets remains a significant child health problem in developing countries. In addition, several rare genetic causes of rickets have also been described, which can be divided into two groups. The first group consists of genetic disorders of vitamin D biosynthesis and action, such as vitamin D-dependent rickets type 1A (VDDR1A), vitamin D-dependent rickets type 1B (VDDR1B), vitamin D-dependent rickets type 2A (VDDR2A), and vitamin D-dependent rickets type 2B (VDDR2B). The second group involves genetic disorders of excessive renal phosphate loss (hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets) due to impairment in renal tubular phosphate reabsorption as a result of FGF23-related or FGF23-independent causes. In this review, we focus on clinical, laboratory and genetic characteristics of various types of hereditary rickets as well as differential diagnosis and treatment approaches.

Abstract
Mice overexpressing galectin-8 [gal-8 transgenic (Tg)], a secreted mammalian lectin, exhibit enhanced bone turnover and reduced bone mass, similar to cases of postmenopausal osteoporosis. Here, we show that gal-8 knockout (KO) mice have increased bone mass accrual at a young age but exhibit accelerated bone loss during adulthood. These phenotypes can be attributed to a gal-8-mediated increase in receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) expression that promotes osteoclastogenesis, combined with direct inhibition of osteoblast differentiation, evident by reduced bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling, reduced phosphorylation of receptor regulated mothers against decapentaplegic homolog (R-SMAD) and reduced expression of osteoblast differentiation markers osterix, osteocalcin, runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), dentin matrix acidic phosphoprotein-1 (DMP1), and alkaline phosphatase. At the same time, gal-8 promotes expression of estrogen receptor α (ESR1). Accordingly, the rate of bone loss is accelerated in ovariectomized, estrogen-deficient gal-8 Tg mice, whereas gal-8 KO mice, having low levels of ESR1, are refractory to ovariectomy. Finally, gal-8 mRNA positively correlates with the mRNA levels of osteoclastogenic markers RANKL, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase, and cathepsin K in human femurs. Collectively, these findings identify gal-8 as a new physiologic player in the regulation of bone mass.-Vinik, Y., Shatz-Azoulay, H., Hiram-Bab, S., Kandel, L., Gabet, Y., Rivkin, G., Zick, Y.
