Abstract
The present study aimed to demonstrate the immunolocalization and/or gene expressions of the enzymes and membrane transporters involved in bone mineralization after the intermittent administration of parathyroid hormone (PTH). The study especially focused on TNALP, ENPP1, and PHOSPHO1, which are involved in matrix vesicle-mediated mineralization, as well as PHEX and the SIBLING family, which regulate mineralization deep inside bone. Six-week-old male mice were subcutaneously injected with 20 μg/kg/day of human PTH (1-34) two times per day (n = 6) or four times per day (n = 6) for two weeks. Additionally, control mice (n = 6) received a vehicle. Consistently with an increase in the volume of the femoral trabeculae, the mineral appositional rate increased after PTH administration. The areas positive for PHOSPHO1, TNALP, and ENPP1 in the femoral metaphyses expanded, and the gene expressions assessed by real-time PCR were elevated in PTH-administered specimens when compared with the findings in control specimens. The immunoreactivity and/or gene expressions of PHEX and the SIBLING family (MEPE, osteopontin, and DMP1) significantly increased after PTH administration. For example, MEPE immunoreactivity was evident in some osteocytes in PTH-administered specimens but was hardly observed in control specimens. In contrast, mRNA encoding cathepsin B was significantly reduced. Therefore, the bone matrix deep inside might be further mineralized by PHEX/SIBLING family after PTH administration. In summary, it is likely that PTH accelerates mineralization to maintain a balance with elevated matrix synthesis, presumably by mediating TNALP/ENPP1 cooperation and stimulating PHEX/SIBLING family expression.

Altered immunolocalization of FGF23 in murine femora metastasized with human breast carcinoma MDA-MB-231 cells. J Bone Miner Metab 2021; 39:810-823.

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.
