Abstract
Despite their diverse physiologies and roles, the heart, skeletal muscles, and smooth muscles all derive from a common embryonic source as bones. Moreover, bone tissue, skeletal and smooth muscles, and the heart share conserved signaling pathways. The maintenance of skeletal health is precisely regulated by osteocytes, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts through coordinated secretion of bone-derived factors known as osteokines. Increasing evidence suggests the involvement of osteokines in regulating atherosclerotic vascular disease. Therefore, this review aims to examine the evidence for the role of osteokines in atherosclerosis development and progression comprehensively. Specifically discussed are extensively studied osteokines in atherosclerosis such as osteocalcin, osteopontin, osteoprotegerin, and fibroblast growth factor 23. Additionally, we highlighted the effects of exercise on modulating these key regulators derived from bone tissue metabolism. We believe that gaining an enhanced understanding of how osteocalcin contributes to the process of atherosclerosis will enable us to develop targeted and comprehensive therapeutic strategies against diseases associated with its progression.

Both enantiomers of β-aminoisobutyric acid BAIBA regulate Fgf23 via MRGPRD receptor by activating distinct signaling pathways in osteocytes. Cell Rep 2024; 43:114397. [PMID: 38935499 PMCID: PMC11350516 DOI: 10.1016/j.celrep.2024.114397] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2023] [Revised: 04/24/2024] [Accepted: 06/07/2024] [Indexed: 06/29/2024] Open
Abstract
With exercise, muscle and bone produce factors with beneficial effects on brain, fat, and other organs. Exercise in mice increased fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), urine phosphate, and the muscle metabolite L-β-aminoisobutyric acid (L-BAIBA), suggesting that L-BAIBA may play a role in phosphate metabolism. Here, we show that L-BAIBA increases in serum with exercise and elevates Fgf23 in osteocytes. The D enantiomer, described to be elevated with exercise in humans, can also induce Fgf23 but through a delayed, indirect process via sclerostin. The two enantiomers both signal through the same receptor, Mas-related G-protein-coupled receptor type D, but activate distinct signaling pathways; L-BAIBA increases Fgf23 through Gαs/cAMP/PKA/CBP/β-catenin and Gαq/PKC/CREB, whereas D-BAIBA increases Fgf23 indirectly through sclerostin via Gαi/NF-κB. In vivo, both enantiomers increased Fgf23 in bone in parallel with elevated urinary phosphate excretion. Thus, exercise-induced increases in BAIBA and FGF23 work together to maintain phosphate homeostasis.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are a group of structurally homologous yet functionally pleiotropic proteins. Canonical and intracellular FGFs have primarily autocrine or paracrine effects. However, the FGF19 subfamily, composed of FGF15/19, FGF21, and FGF23, act as endocrine hormones that regulate bile acid, metabolic, and phosphorus homeostasis, respectively. Current research in human and rodent models demonstrates the potential of these endocrine FGFs to target various diseases, including disorders of inherited hypophosphatemia, chronic liver disease, obesity, and insulin resistance. Many diseases targeted for therapeutic use in humans have pathophysiological overlaps in domestic animals. Despite the potential clinical and economic impact, little is known about endocrine FGFs and their signaling pathways in major domestic animal species compared with humans and laboratory animals. This review aims to describe the physiology of these endocrine FGFs, discuss their current therapeutic use, and summarize the contemporary literature regarding endocrine FGFs in domestic animals, focusing on potential future directions.

Abstract
FGF23 via its coreceptor αKlotho (KL) provides critical control of phosphate metabolism, which is altered in rare and very common syndromes, however the spatial-temporal mechanisms dictating renal FGF23 functions remain poorly understood. Thus, developing approaches to modify specific FGF23-dictated pathways has proven problematic. Herein, wild type mice were injected with rFGF23 for 1, 4 and 12h and renal FGF23 bioactivity was determined at single cell resolution. Computational analysis identified distinct epithelial, endothelial, stromal, and immune cell clusters, with differential expressional analysis uniquely tracking FGF23 bioactivity at each time point. FGF23 actions were sex independent but critically relied upon constitutive KL expression mapped within proximal tubule (S1-S3) and distal tubule (DCT/CNT) cell sub-populations. Temporal KL-dependent FGF23 responses drove unique and transient cellular identities, including genes in key MAPK- and vitamin D-metabolic pathways via early- (AP-1-related) and late-phase (EIF2 signaling) transcriptional regulons. Combining ATACseq/RNAseq data from a cell line stably expressing KL with the in vivo scRNAseq pinpointed genomic accessibility changes in MAPK-dependent genes, including the identification of FGF23-dependent EGR1 distal enhancers. Finally, we isolated unexpected crosstalk between FGF23-mediated MAPK signaling and pro-inflammatory TNF receptor activation via NF-κB, which blocked FGF23 bioactivity in vitro and in vivo . Collectively, our findings have uncovered novel pathways at the single cell level that likely influence FGF23-dependent disease mechanisms. Translational statement Inflammation and elevated FGF23 in chronic kidney disease (CKD) are both associated with poor patient outcomes and mortality. However, the links between these manifestations and the effects of inflammation on FGF23-mediated mineral metabolism within specific nephron segments remain unclear. Herein, we isolated an inflammatory pathway driven by TNF/NF-κB associated with regulating FGF23 bioactivity. The findings from this study could be important in designing future therapeutic approaches for chronic mineral diseases, including potential combination therapies or early intervention strategies. We also suggest that further studies could explore these pathways at the single cell level in CKD models, as well as test translation of our findings to interactions of chronic inflammation and elevated FGF23 in human CKD kidney datasets.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with significant reductions in lean body mass and in the mass of various tissues, including skeletal muscle, which causes fatigue and contributes to high mortality rates. In CKD, the cellular protein turnover is imbalanced, with protein degradation outweighing protein synthesis, leading to a loss of protein and cell mass, which impairs tissue function. As CKD itself, skeletal muscle wasting, or sarcopenia, can have various origins and causes, and both CKD and sarcopenia share common risk factors, such as diabetes, obesity, and age. While these pathologies together with reduced physical performance and malnutrition contribute to muscle loss, they cannot explain all features of CKD-associated sarcopenia. Metabolic acidosis, systemic inflammation, insulin resistance and the accumulation of uremic toxins have been identified as additional factors that occur in CKD and that can contribute to sarcopenia. Here, we discuss the elevation of systemic phosphate levels, also called hyperphosphatemia, and the imbalance in the endocrine regulators of phosphate metabolism as another CKD-associated pathology that can directly and indirectly harm skeletal muscle tissue. To identify causes, affected cell types, and the mechanisms of sarcopenia and thereby novel targets for therapeutic interventions, it is important to first characterize the precise pathologic changes on molecular, cellular, and histologic levels, and to do so in CKD patients as well as in animal models of CKD, which we describe here in detail. We also discuss the currently known pathomechanisms and therapeutic approaches of CKD-associated sarcopenia, as well as the effects of hyperphosphatemia and the novel drug targets it could provide to protect skeletal muscle in CKD.

Alterations in regulators of the renal-bone axis, inflammation and iron status in older people with early renal impairment and the effect of vitamin D supplementation. Age Ageing 2024; 53:afae096. [PMID: 38770543 PMCID: PMC11106582 DOI: 10.1093/ageing/afae096] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2023] [Revised: 03/21/2024] [Indexed: 05/22/2024] Open
Abstract
CONTEXT Chronic kidney disease (CKD) leads to alterations in fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) and the renal-bone axis. This may be partly driven by altered inflammation and iron status. Vitamin D supplementation may reduce inflammation. OBJECTIVE AND METHODS Older adults with early CKD (estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 30-60 ml/min/1.73 m2; CKDG3a/b; n = 35) or normal renal function (eGFR >90 ml/min/1.73 m2; CKDG1; n = 35) received 12,000, 24,000 or 48,000 IU D3/month for 1 year. Markers of the renal-bone axis, inflammation and iron status were investigated pre- and post-supplementation. Predictors of c-terminal and intact FGF23 (cFGF23; iFGF23) were identified by univariate and multivariate regression. RESULTS Pre-supplementation, comparing CKDG3a/b to CKDG1, plasma cFGF23, iFGF23, PTH, sclerostin and TNFα were significantly higher and Klotho, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D and iron were lower. Post-supplementation, only cFGF23, 25(OH)D and IL6 differed between groups. The response to supplementation differed between eGFR groups. Only in the CKDG1 group, phosphate decreased, cFGF23, iFGF23 and procollagen type I N-propeptide increased. In the CKDG3a/b group, TNFα significantly decreased, and iron increased. Plasma 25(OH)D and IL10 increased, and carboxy-terminal collagen crosslinks decreased in both groups. In univariate models cFGF23 and iFGF23 were predicted by eGFR and regulators of calcium and phosphate metabolism at both time points; IL6 predicted cFGF23 (post-supplementation) and iFGF23 (pre-supplementation) in univariate models. Hepcidin predicted post-supplementation cFGF23 in multivariate models with eGFR. CONCLUSION Alterations in regulators of the renal-bone axis, inflammation and iron status were found in early CKD. The response to vitamin D3 supplementation differed between eGFR groups. Plasma IL6 predicted both cFGF23 and iFGF23 and hepcidin predicted cFGF23.

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.

Abstract
To assess the correlation between serum fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23)/Klotho levels and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in middle-aged and elderly patients combined with low bone mineral density (BMD). The BMD of the lumbar vertebrae and femoral neck of 87 patients with ESRD was measured using a dual-energy X-ray bone densitometer during hospitalisation and the patients were divided into a normal bone mass group and a low bone mass group. Haemoglobin, albumin, urea nitrogen, uric acid, creatinine, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, alkaline phosphatase, blood calcium, blood phosphorus and full parathyroid hormone were detected using an automatic biochemical analyser. The levels of serum FGF-23, Klotho and activated vitamin D in the patients with ESRD were measured via an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Older age and decreased serum creatinine levels and serum Klotho levels were associated with low bone mass. There were significantly more men in normal bone mass group (n=49, 74.24%) than in low bone mass group (n=8, 38.10%). The correlation analysis showed that BMD was negatively correlated with age but positively correlated with serum Klotho. The binary logistic regression analysis indicated that old age and the decrease in serum Klotho level were independent risk factors of a low BMD (all p<0.05). In conclusion, serum Klotho is closely related to BMD changes in middle-aged and elderly patients with ESRD. A high Klotho level is a protective factor and is expected to be a marker in reducing bone mineral metabolism disorders and improving the prognosis of patients with ESRD.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of physical exercise in chronic kidney disease, describing its impact on the Klotho-FGF23 axis. PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus databases, updated to January 2023, were searched. The present study employed mean difference and a 95% confidence interval (CI) to examine the efficacy of the intervention. Heterogeneity was assessed through inconsistency statistics (I2). Out of the 299 studies identified, a total of 4 randomized controlled trials (RCTs), comprising 272 participants, met the eligibility criteria. Compared with the control group, physical exercise significantly decreased the concentrations of FGF23 (MD: -102.07 Pg/mL, 95% CI: -176.23.47, -27.91 I2= 97%, p = 0.001), and a significantly increased the concentrations of Klotho protein: (MD: 158.82 Pg/mL, 95% CI: 123.33, -194.31, I2 = 0%, p = 0.001). The results of our study indicated that the exercise has a direct relationship with Klotho-FGF23 axis. We can conclude that physical exercise in patients with CKD produces beneficial effects on the pathophysiological components related to this disease, including cardiorespiratory fitness and vascular functions. As observed, both endurance and aerobic physical exercise increase Klotho production and decrease FGF23 levels. Evidence indicates that exercise attenuates the progression of CKD, improves uremic parameters and down-regulates inflammation-related markers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the changes in the serum levels of Klotho, fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) in children with idiopathic short stature (ISS) before and after recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) treatment, as well as the correlation of Klotho and FGF23 with the growth hormone (GH)/IGF-1 growth axis in these children. METHODS A prospective study was conducted on 33 children who were diagnosed with ISS in the Department of Pediatrics, Hebei Provincial People's Hospital, from March 10, 2021 to December 1, 2022 (ISS group). Twenty-nine healthy children, matched for age and sex, who attended the Department of Child Healthcare during the same period, were enrolled as the healthy control group. The children in the ISS group were treated with rhGH, and the serum levels of Klotho, FGF23, and IGF-1 were measured before treatment and after 3, 6, and 9 months of treatment. A correlation analysis was conducted on these indexes. RESULTS There were no significant differences in the serum levels of IGF-1, Klotho, and FGF23 between the ISS and healthy control groups (P>0.05). The serum levels of Klotho, FGF23, and IGF-1 increased significantly in the ISS group after 3, 6, and 9 months of rhGH treatment (P<0.05). In the ISS group, Klotho and FGF23 levels were positively correlated with the phosphate level before treatment (P<0.05). Before treatment and after 3, 6, and 9 months of rhGH treatment, the Klotho level was positively correlated with the IGF-1 level (P<0.05), the FGF23 level was positively correlated with the IGF-1 level (P<0.05), and the Klotho level was positively correlated with the FGF23 level (P<0.05), while Klotho and FGF23 levels were not correlated with the height standard deviation of point (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS The rhGH treatment can upregulate the levels of Klotho, FGF23, and IGF-1 and realize the catch-up growth in children with ISS. Klotho and FGF23 may not directly promote the linear growth of children with ISS, but may have indirect effects through the pathways such as IGF-1 and phosphate metabolism. The consistent changes in Klotho, FGF23 and IGF-1 levels show that there is a synergistic relationship among them in regulating the linear growth of ISS children.

Abstract
We assessed the involvement of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) in phosphaturia in sickle cell disease (SCD) mice. Control and SCD mice were treated with FGF23 neutralizing antibody (FGF23Ab) for 24 hours. Serum ferritin was significantly increased in SCD mice and was significantly reduced in female but not male SCD mice by FGF23Ab. FGF23Ab significantly reduced increased erythropoietin in SCD kidneys. Serum intact FGF23 was significantly increased in SCD female mice and was markedly increased in SCD male mice; however, FGF23Ab significantly reduced serum intact FGF23 in both genotypes and sexes. Serum carboxy-terminal-fragment FGF23 (cFGF23) was significantly reduced in SCD IgG male mice and was markedly but not significantly reduced in SCD IgG female mice. FGF23Ab significantly increased cFGF23 in both sexes and genotypes. Serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 was significantly increased in SCD IgG and was further significantly increased by FGF23Ab in both sexes and genotypes. Significantly increased blood urea nitrogen in SCD was not reduced by FGF23Ab. The urine phosphate (Pi)/creatinine ratio was significantly increased in SCD in both sexes and was significantly reduced by FGF23Ab. Increased SCD kidney damage marker kidney injury molecule 1 was rescued, but sclerotic glomeruli, increased macrophages, and lymphocytes were not rescued by short-term FGF23Ab. FGF23Ab significantly reduced increased phospho-fibroblast growth factor receptor 1, αKlotho, phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase, phosphorylated serum/glucocorticoid-regulated kinase 1, phosphorylated sodium-hydrogen exchanger regulatory factor-1, phosphorylated janus kinase 3, and phosphorylated transducer and activator of transcription-3 in SCD kidneys. The type II sodium Pi cotransporter (NPT2a) and sodium-dependent Pi transporter PiT-2 proteins were significantly reduced in SCD kidneys and were increased by FGF23Ab. We conclude that increased FGF23/FGF receptor 1/αKlotho signaling promotes Pi wasting in SCD by downregulating NPT2a and PIT2 via modulation of multiple signaling pathways that could be rescued by FGF23Ab.

Abstract
Introduction: In vertebrates fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a phosphate regulating hormone closely linked to calcium regulation by vitamin D and parathyroid hormone (PTH). Although phosphorus, calcium and vitamin D are important for poultry well-being, relatively little is known about their levels of FGF23. Our objective was to quantitatively estimate the blood FGF23 level in birds, and to examine its relationship to diet and blood levels of other components of phosphate and calcium homeostasis. Methods: A systematic search of Agricola, Embase and Medline identified 86 studies focused on FGF23 in birds, from which 12 manuscripts reporting data for 60 independent groups of chickens were included in the analysis. Results: FGF23 levels were 256 pg/ml (Confidence interval (CI): 215, 297) in broilers (39 datasets containing 435 birds), and 256 pg/ml (CI: 178, 339) in egg-laying hens (21 datasets containing 208 birds). FGF23 levels did not correlate with dietary phosphorus, calcium or vitamin D, or with plasma calcium or PTH. FGF23 levels demonstrated a trend to positively correlate with plasma phosphate and a strongly and positive correlation with plasma vitamin D. Discussion: This study provides normative estimates of FGF23 levels in poultry birds and new insights into the regulation of calcium and phosphate homeostasis.

Abstract
Bone is a highly dynamic tissue, and the constant actions of bone-forming and bone-resorbing cells are responsible for attaining peak bone mass, maintaining bone mass in the adults, and the subsequent bone loss with aging and menopause, as well as skeletal complications of diseases and drug side-effects. It is now accepted that the generation and activity of bone-forming osteoblasts and bone-resorbing osteoclasts is modulated by osteocytes, osteoblast-derived cells embedded in the bone matrix. The interaction among bone cells occurs through direct contact and via secreted molecules. In addition to the regulation of bone cell function, molecules released by these cells are also able to reach the circulation and have effects in other tissues and organs in healthy individuals. Moreover, bone cell products have also been associated with the establishment or progression of diseases, including cancer and muscle weakness. In this review, we will discuss the role of bone as an endocrine organ, and the effect of selected, osteoblast-, osteocyte-, and osteoclast-secreted molecules on other tissues.

Abstract
Renal phosphate and vitamin D metabolism is under the control of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), an endocrine and paracrine factor predominantly produced in bone. FGF23 formation is stimulated by active vitamin D, or parathyroid hormone (PTH), which are further regulators of phosphate homeostasis. In renal, inflammatory, and other diseases, plasma FGF23 reflects disease stage and correlates with outcome. Oncostatin M is part of the interleukin-6 (IL-6) family and regulates remodeling and PTH effects in bone as well as cardiac FGF23 production in heart failure via glycoprotein gp130. Here, we studied whether oncostatin M is a regulator of FGF23 in bone cells. Experiments were performed in UMR106 osteoblast-like cells, Fgf23 mRNA was determined by qRT-PCR, FGF23 protein by Western Blotting and ELISA, and oncostatin M receptor and leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) receptor gene knockout accomplished by siRNA. As a result, oncostatin M dose-dependently up-regulated Fgf23 expression and protein secretion. The oncostatin M effect on FGF23 was mediated by oncostatin M receptor and gp130 and involved, at least in part, STAT3 and MEK1/2. Taken together, oncostatin M is a regulator of FGF23 through oncostatin M receptor, gp130, as well as STAT3 and MEK1/2 in UMR106 osteoblasts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients who recover from acute kidney injury (AKI) have a 25% increase in the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and a 50% increase in mortality after a follow-up of approximately 10 years. Circulating FGF-23 increases significantly early in the development of AKI, is significantly elevated in patients with CKD and has become a major biomarker of poor clinical prognosis in CKD. However, the potential link between fibroblast growth factor-23 levels and the progression of AKI to CKD remains unclear. METHOD Serum FGF-23 levels in AKI patients and ischaemia‒reperfusion injury (IRI) mice were detected with ELISA. Cultured HK2 cells were incubated with FGF-23 and PD173074, a blocker of FGFR, and then TGFβ/Smad and Wnt/β-catenin were examined with immunofluorescence and immunoblotting. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the expression of COL1A1 and COL4A1. Histologic staining confirmed renal fibrosis. RESULTS The level of serum FGF-23 was significantly different between AKI patients and healthy controls (P < 0.01). Moreover, serum FGF-23 levels in the CKD progression group were significantly higher than those in the non-CKD progression group of AKI patients (P < 0.01). In the AKI-CKD mouse model, serum FGF-23 levels were increased, and renal fibrosis occurred; moreover, the protein expression of β-catenin and p-Smad3 was upregulated. PD173074 downregulated the expression of β-catenin and p-Smad3 and reduced fibrosis in both mice and HK2 cells. CONCLUSION The increase in FGF-23 may be associated with the progression of AKI to CKD and may mediate renal fibrosis via TGF-β and Wnt/β-catenin activation.

Abstract
X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is characterized by mutations in the PHEX gene, leading to elevated serum levels of FGF23, decreased production of 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25D), and hypophosphatemia. Those affected with XLH manifest impaired growth and skeletal and dentoalveolar mineralization as well as increased mineralization of the tendon–bone attachment site (enthesopathy), all of which lead to decreased quality of life. Many molecular and murine studies have detailed the role of mineral ions and hormones in regulating complications of XLH, including how they modulate growth and growth plate maturation, bone mineralization and structure, osteocyte-mediated mineral matrix resorption and canalicular organization, and enthesopathy development. While these studies have provided insight into the molecular underpinnings of these skeletal processes, current therapies available for XLH do not fully prevent or treat these complications. Therefore, further investigations are needed to determine the molecular pathophysiology underlying the complications of XLH.

Abstract
Vitamin D may have multiple effects on the nervous system and its deficiency can represent a possible risk factor for the development of many neurological diseases. Recent studies are also trying to clarify the different effects of vitamin D supplementation over the course of progressive neurological diseases. In this narrative review, we summarise vitamin D chemistry, metabolism, mechanisms of action, and the recommended daily intake. The role of vitamin D on gene transcription and the immune response is also reviewed. Finally, we discuss the scientific evidence that links low 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations to the onset and progression of severe neurological diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, migraine, diabetic neuropathy and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Completed and ongoing clinical trials on vitamin D supplementation in neurological diseases are listed.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is primarily produced in bones and mainly regulates calcium and phosphorus metabolism. The level of circulating FGF23 increases rapidly in the early stage of acute kidney injury (AKI). Recent studies have shown that FGF23 may serve as a biomarker for the diagnosis and poor prognosis of AKI. The mechanism of increased FGF23 in AKI may include increased production of FGF23, decreased renal clearance of FGF23, and some new regulatory factors, such as inflammation and glycerol 3-phosphate. However, the biological effects of elevated FGF23 in AKI are still unclear. It is also not known whether reducing the level of circulating FGF23 could alleviate AKI or its poor prognosis. Here, we review the pathophysiological mechanism and possible regulation of FGF23 in AKI and discuss the possibility of using FGF23 as a therapeutic target.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), a bone-derived hormone, is involved in the reabsorption of phosphate (P) and the production of vitamin D hormones in the kidney. However, whether and how FGF23 regulates chicken bone metabolism remains largely unknown. In the present study, we investigated the effect of FGF23 on osteogenic differentiation and mineralization of chicken bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). First, we found that the transcription of FGF23 was inhibited by β-glycerophosphate sodium (GPS, 5 mM, 10 mM, 20 mM) and 10-9 M 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1, 25(OH)2D3), but was stimulated by 10-7 M 1, 25(OH)2D3 and parathyroid hormone (PTH, 10-9 M, 10-8 M, 10-7 M). Second, overexpression of FGF23 by the FGF23 adenovirus (Adv-FGF23) suppressed the formation of mineralized nodules (P < 0.001) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity (P < 0.05) in both differentiated and mineralized osteoblasts. Administration of FGF receptor 3 (FGFR3) inhibitor (50 nM) was sufficient to restore the FGF23-decreased ALP activity (P < 0.05), but not for the formation of mineralized nodules. In addition, the phosphorylation of ERK increased considerably with Adv-FGF23 overexpression (P < 0.05). Administration of an ERK-specific inhibitor (10 μM) could down-regulate the phosphorylation of ERK (P-ERK) (P < 0.05) and slightly restored the Adv-FGF23-reduction of ALP activity (P = 0.08). In summary, our data suggest that GPS, 1, 25(OH)2D3, and PTH could regulate FGF23 mRNA expression in vitro. FGF23 is a negative regulator of bone remodeling. FGF23 not only inhibits BMSCs osteogenesis through the FGFR3-ERK signaling pathway but also suppresses the mineralization of mature osteoblasts.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a circulating hormone derived from the bone whose release is controlled by many factors and exerts a multitude of systemic actions. There are congenital and acquired disorders of increased and decreased FGF23 levels. In chronic kidney disease (CKD), elevations of FGF23 levels can be 1000-fold above the upper physiological limit. It is still debated whether this high FGF23 in CKD is a biomarker or causally related to morbidity and mortality. Data from human association studies support pathogenicity, while experimental data are less robust. Knowledge of the biology and pathobiology of FGF23 has generated a plethora of means to reduce FGF23 bioactivity at many levels that will be useful for therapeutic translations. This article summarizes these approaches and addresses several critical questions that still need to be answered.

Abstract
Calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) homeostasis is maintained by several regulators, including vitamin D and fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), and their tissue-specific activation and signaling cascades. In this study, the tissue-wide expression of key genes linked to vitamin D metabolism (CYP2R1, CYP27A1, CYP27B1, CYP24A1, GC, VDR) and FGF23 signaling (FGF23, FGFR1-4, KL) were investigated in pigs fed conventional (trial 1) and divergent P diets (trial 2). The tissue set comprised kidney, liver, bone, lung, aorta, and gastrointestinal tract sections. Expression patterns revealed that non-renal tissues and cells (NRTC) express genes to form active vitamin D [1,25(OH)2D3] according to site-specific requirements. A low P diet resulted in higher serum calcitriol and increased CYP24A1 expression in the small intestine, indicating local suppression of vitamin D signaling. A high P diet prompted increased mRNA abundances of CYP27B1 for local vitamin D synthesis, specifically in bone. For FGF23 signaling, analyses revealed ubiquitous expression of FGFR1-4, whereas KL was expressed in a tissue-specific manner. Dietary P supply did not affect skeletal FGF23; however, FGFR4 and KL showed increased expression in bone at high P supply, suggesting regulation to balance mineralization. Specific NRTC responses influence vitamin D metabolism and P homeostasis, which should be considered for a thrifty but healthy P supply.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive disorder that is associated with development of elevated fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) levels and anemia. Here, we review recent literature that extends our current knowledge on the interactions between FGF23 and anemia in CKD and the impact of anemia-targeting therapeutics on FGF23 elevation in CKD. RECENT FINDINGS The anemia of CKD is primarily driven by a lack of erythropoietin (EPO) and iron deficiency. In addition to EPO and iron replacement, novel drug classes to treat anemia have been approved or are in clinical development. A recent observational study provides supportive evidence for the hypothesis that FGF23 elevation in CKD mediates adverse effects of iron deficiency on the cardiovascular system in patients with CKD. Preclinical and clinical studies revealed that ferric citrate (FC), and hypoxia-induced factor-prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor (HIF-PHI) treatment may reduce elevated FGF23 levels in CKD, suggesting that correcting anemia in CKD could potentially lower FGF23 levels. However, as we describe, HIF-PHI have context-dependent effects. Moreover, whether a reduction in FGF23 will improve patient outcomes in patients with CKD remains to be determined. SUMMARY With the emergence of novel therapeutics to treat oxygen and iron utilization deficits in CKD, studies have investigated the impact of these new drugs on FGF23. Several of these drugs, including FC and HIF-PHIs, alleviate iron homeostasis alterations in CKD and are associated with FGF23 reduction. Herein, we review the relationships between oxygen/iron sensing and FGF23 in CKD, recent findings which link FGF23 with cardiac dysfunction, as well as future translational and clinical avenues.

Non-Additive Effects of Combined NOX1/4 Inhibition and Calcimimetic Treatment on a Rat Model of Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral and Bone Disorder (CKD-MBD). JBMR Plus 2022; 6:e10600. [PMID: 35309859 PMCID: PMC8914155 DOI: 10.1002/jbm4.10600] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2021] [Revised: 12/20/2021] [Accepted: 12/28/2021] [Indexed: 11/07/2022] Open
Abstract
Chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) increases cardiovascular calcification and skeletal fragility in part by increasing systemic oxidative stress and disrupting mineral homeostasis through secondary hyperparathyroidism. We hypothesized that treatments to reduce reactive oxygen species formation and reduce parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels would have additive beneficial effects to prevent cardiovascular calcification and deleterious bone architecture and mechanics before end-stage kidney disease. To test this hypothesis, we treated a naturally progressive model of CKD-MBD, the Cy/+ rat, beginning early in CKD with the NADPH oxidase (NOX1/4) inhibitor GKT-137831 (GKT), the preclinical analogue of the calcimimetic etelcalcetide, KP-2326 (KP), and their combination. The results demonstrated that CKD animals had elevated blood urea nitrogen, PTH, fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), and phosphorus. Treatment with KP reduced PTH levels compared with CKD animals, whereas GKT treatment increased C-terminal FGF23 levels without altering intact FGF23. GKT treatment alone reduced aortic calcification and NOX4 expression but did not alter the oxidative stress marker 8-OHdG in the serum or aorta. KP treatment reduced aortic 8-OHdG and inhibited the ability for GKT to reduce aortic calcification. Treatments did not alter heart calcification or left ventricular mass. In the skeleton, CKD animals had reduced trabecular bone volume fraction and trabecular number with increased trabecular spacing that were not improved with either treatment. The cortical bone was not altered by CKD or by treatments at this early stage of CKD. These results suggest that GKT reduces aortic calcification while KP reduces aortic oxidative stress and reduces PTH, but the combination was not additive. © 2022 The Authors.

Urinary Potassium Excretion, Fibroblast Growth Factor 23, and Incident Hypertension in the General Population-Based PREVEND Cohort. Nutrients 2021; 13:nu13124532. [PMID: 34960084 PMCID: PMC8707837 DOI: 10.3390/nu13124532] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2021] [Revised: 12/14/2021] [Accepted: 12/16/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
High plasma fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) and low potassium intake have each been associated with incident hypertension. We recently demonstrated that potassium supplementation reduces FGF23 levels in pre-hypertensive individuals. The aim of the current study was to address whether 24-h urinary potassium excretion, reflecting dietary potassium intake, is associated with FGF23, and whether FGF23 mediates the association between urinary potassium excretion and incident hypertension in the general population. At baseline, 4194 community-dwelling individuals without hypertension were included. Mean urinary potassium excretion was 76 (23) mmol/24 h in men, and 64 (20) mmol/24 h in women. Plasma C-terminal FGF23 was 64.5 (54.2-77.8) RU/mL in men, and 70.3 (56.5-89.5) RU/mL in women. Urinary potassium excretion was inversely associated with FGF23, independent of age, sex, urinary sodium excretion, bone and mineral parameters, inflammation, and iron status (St. β -0.02, p < 0.05). The lowest sex-specific urinary potassium excretion tertile (HR 1.18 (95% CI 1.01-1.37)), and the highest sex-specific tertile of FGF23 (HR 1.17 (95% CI 1.01-1.37)) were each associated with incident hypertension, compared with the reference tertile. FGF23 did not mediate the association between urinary potassium excretion and incident hypertension. Increasing potassium intake, and reducing plasma FGF23 could be independent targets to reduce the risk of hypertension in the general population.

Abstract
Nowadays, chronic kidney disease (CKD) and osteoporosis have become crucial health-related issues globally. CKD-induced osteoporosis is a systemic disease characterized by the disruption of mineral, hormone, and vitamin homeostasis that elevates the likelihood of fracture. Here, we review recent studies on the association of CKD and osteoporosis. In particular, we focus on the pathogenesis of CKD-associated osteoporosis, including the homeostasis and pathways of several components such as parathyroid hormone, calcium, phosphate, vitamin D, fibroblast growth factor, and klotho, as well as abnormal bone mineralization, remodeling, and turnover. In addition, we explore the diagnostic tools and possible therapeutic approaches for the management and prevention of CKD-associated osteoporosis. Patients with CKD show higher osteoporosis prevalence, greater fracture rate, increased morbidity and mortality, and an elevated occurrence of hip fracture. We also rule out that increased severity of CKD is related to a more severe condition of osteoporosis. Furthermore, supplements such as calcium and vitamin D as well as lifestyle modifications such as exercise and cessation of smoking and alcohol help in fracture prevention. However, new approaches and advancements in treatment are needed to reduce the fracture risk in patients with CKD. Therefore, further collaborative multidisciplinary research is needed in this regard.

Abstract
Bone remodeling, expressed as bone formation and turnover, is a complex and dynamic process closely related to its form and function. Different events, such as development, aging, and function, play a critical role in bone remodeling and metabolism. The ability of the bone to adapt to new loads and forces has been well known and has proven useful in orthopedics and insightful for research in bone and cell biology. Mechanical stimulation is one of the most important drivers of bone metabolism. Interestingly, different types of forces will have specific consequences in bone remodeling, and their beneficial effects can be traced using different biomarkers. In this narrative review, we summarize the major mediators and events in bone remodeling, focusing on the effects of mechanical stimulation on bone metabolism, cell populations, and ultimately, bone health.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) plays an important role in the development of chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD). Abnormally elevated levels of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D cause osteocytes to secrete FGF23, which subsequently induces phosphaturia. Recent studies have reported that iron deficiency, erythropoietin (EPO) and hypoxia regulate the pathways responsible for FGF23 production. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the interactions between FGF23 and anemia-related factors are not yet fully understood. The present review discusses the associations between FGF23, iron, EPO and hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs), and their impact on FGF23 bioactivity, focusing on recent studies. Collectively, these findings propose interactions between FGF23 gene expression and anemia-related factors, including iron deficiency, EPO and HIFs. Taken together, these results suggest that FGF23 bioactivity is closely associated with the occurrence of CKD-related anemia and CKD-MBD.

Abstract
Osteocyte produced fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is the key regulator of serum phosphate (Pi) homeostasis. The interplay between parathyroid hormone (PTH), FGF23 and other proteins that regulate FGF23 production and serum Pi levels is complex and incompletely characterised. Evidence suggests that the protein product of the SOST gene, sclerostin (SCL), also a PTH target and also produced by osteocytes, plays a role in FGF23 expression, however the mechanism for this effect is unclear. Part of the problem of understanding the interplay of these mediators is the complex multi-organ system that achieves Pi homeostasis in vivo. In the current study, we sought to address this using a cell line model of the osteocyte, IDG-SW3, known to express FGF23 at both the mRNA and protein levels. In cultures of differentiated IDG-SW3 cells, both PTH1-34 and recombinant human (rh) SCL remarkably induced Fgf23 mRNA expression dose-dependently within 3 h. Both rhPTH1-34 and rhSCL also strongly induced C-terminal FGF23 protein secretion. Secreted intact FGF23 levels remained unchanged, consistent with constitutive post-translational cleavage of FGF23 in this cell model. Both rhPTH1-34 and rhSCL treatments significantly suppressed mRNA levels of Phex, Dmp1 and Enpp1 mRNA, encoding putative negative regulators of FGF23 levels, and induced Galnt3 mRNA expression, encoding N-acetylgalactosaminyl-transferase 3 (GalNAc-T3), which protects FGF23 from furin-like proprotein convertase-mediated cleavage. The effect of both rhPTH1-34 and rhSCL was antagonised by pre-treatment with the NF-κβ signalling inhibitors, BAY11 and TPCK. RhSCL also stimulated FGF23 mRNA expression in ex vivo cultures of human bone. These findings provide evidence for the direct regulation of FGF23 expression by sclerostin. Locally expressed sclerostin via the induction of FGF23 in osteocytes thus has the potential to contribute to the regulation of Pi homeostasis.

Abstract
Phosphorus, an essential nutrient, performs vital functions in skeletal and non-skeletal tissues and is pivotal for energy production. The last two decades of research on the physiological importance of phosphorus have provided several novel insights about its dynamic nature as a nutrient performing functions as a phosphate ion. Phosphorous also acts as a signaling molecule and induces complex physiological responses. It is recognized that phosphorus homeostasis is critical for health. The intake of phosphorus by the general population world-wide is almost double the amount required to maintain health. This increase is attributed to the incorporation of phosphate containing food additives in processed foods purchased by consumers. Research findings assessed the impact of excessive phosphorus intake on cells' and organs' responses, and highlighted the potential pathogenic consequences. Research also identified a new class of bioactive phosphates composed of polymers of phosphate molecules varying in chain length. These polymers are involved in metabolic responses including hemostasis, brain and bone health, via complex mechanism(s) with positive or negative health effects, depending on their chain length. It is amazing, that phosphorus, a simple element, is capable of exerting multiple and powerful effects. The role of phosphorus and its polymers in the renal and cardiovascular system as well as on brain health appear to be important and promising future research directions.
