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
BACKGROUND The pathogenesis of urolithiasis is multi-factorial and genetic factors have been shown to play a significant role in the development of urolithiasis. We tried to apply genome-wide Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis and figure out reliable gene susceptibility of urolithiasis from the largest samples to date in two independent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) database of European ancestry. METHODS We extracted summary statistics of expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) from eQTLGen consortium. Urolithiasis phenotype information was obtained from both FinnGen Biobank and UK Biobank. Multiple two-sample MR analysis with a Bonferroni-corrected P threshold (P < 2.5e-06) was conducted. The primary endpoint was the causal effect calculated by random-effect inverse variance weighted (IVW) method. Sensitivity analysis, volcano plots, scatter plots, and regional plots were also performed and visualized. RESULTS After multiple MR tests between 19942 eQTLs and urolithiasis phenotype from both cohorts, 30 common eQTLs with consistent effect size direction were found to be causally associated with urolithiasis risk. Finally only one gene (LMAN2) was simultaneously identified among all top significant eQTLs from both FinnGen Biobank (beta = 0.6758, se = 0.0327, P = 6.775e-95) and UK Biobank (beta = 0.0044, se = 0.0009, P = 2.417e-06). We also found that LMAN2 was with the largest beta effect size on urolithiasis phenotype from the two cohorts. CONCLUSION We for the first time implemented genome-wide MR analysis to investigate the genetic susceptibility of urolithiasis in general population of European ancestry. Our results provided novel insights into common genetic variants of urinary stone disease, which was of great help to subsequent researches.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) control extracellular phosphate levels by regulating renal NPT2A-mediated phosphate transport by a process requiring the PDZ scaffold protein NHERF1. NHERF1 possesses two PDZ domains, PDZ1 and PDZ2, with identical core-binding GYGF motifs explicitly recognizing distinct binding partners that play different and specific roles in hormone-regulated phosphate transport. The interaction of PDZ1 and the carboxy-terminal PDZ-binding motif of NPT2A (C-TRL) is required for basal phosphate transport. PDZ2 is a regulatory domain that scaffolds multiple biological targets, including kinases and phosphatases involved in FGF23 and PTH signaling. FGF23 and PTH trigger disassembly of the NHERF1-NPT2A complex through reversible hormone-stimulated phosphorylation with ensuing NPT2A sequestration, down-regulation, and cessation of phosphate absorption. In the absence of NHERF1-NPT2A interaction, inhibition of FGF23 or PTH signaling results in disordered phosphate homeostasis and phosphate wasting. Additional studies are crucial to elucidate how NHERF1 spatiotemporally coordinates cellular partners to regulate extracellular phosphate levels.

Abstract
The Na+-dependent phosphate cotransporter-2A (NPT2A, SLC34A1) is a primary regulator of extracellular phosphate homeostasis. Its most prominent structural element is a carboxy-terminal PDZ ligand that binds Na+/H+ Exchanger Regulatory Factor-1 (NHERF1, SLC9A3R1). NHERF1, a multidomain PDZ protein, establishes NPT2A membrane localization and is required for hormone-inhibitable phosphate transport. NPT2A also possesses an uncharacterized internal PDZ ligand. Two recent clinical reports describe congenital hypophosphatemia in children harboring Arg495His or Arg495Cys variants within the internal PDZ motif. The wild-type internal 494TRL496 PDZ ligand binds NHERF1 PDZ2, which we consider a regulatory domain. Ablating the internal PDZ ligand with a 494AAA496 substitution blocked hormone-inhibitable phosphate transport. Complementary approaches, including CRISPR/Cas9 technology, site-directed mutagenesis, confocal microscopy, and modeling, showed that NPT2A Arg495His or Arg495Cys variants do not support PTH or FGF23 action on phosphate transport. Coimmunoprecipitation experiments indicate that both variants bind NHERF1 similarly to WT NPT2A. However, in contrast with WT NPT2A, NPT2A Arg495His, or Arg495Cys variants remain at the apical membrane and are not internalized in response to PTH. We predict that Cys or His substitution of the charged Arg495 changes the electrostatics, preventing phosphorylation of the upstream Thr494, interfering with phosphate uptake in response to hormone action, and inhibiting NPT2A trafficking. We advance a model wherein the carboxy-terminal PDZ ligand defines apical localization NPT2A, while the internal PDZ ligand is essential for hormone-triggered phosphate transport.

Abstract
Renal calculus is a common disease with complex etiology and high recurrence rate. Recent studies have revealed that gene mutations may lead to metabolic defects which are associated with the formation of renal calculus, and single gene mutation is involved in relative high proportion of renal calculus. Gene mutations cause changes in enzyme function, metabolic pathway, ion transport, and receptor sensitivity, causing defects in oxalic acid metabolism, cystine metabolism, calcium ion metabolism, or purine metabolism, which may lead to the formation of renal calculus. The hereditary conditions associated with renal calculus include primary hyperoxaluria, cystinuria, Dent disease, familial hypomagnesemia with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis, Bartter syndrome, primary distal renal tubular acidosis, infant hypercalcemia, hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets with hypercalciuria, adenine phosphoribosyltransferase deficiency, hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase deficiency, and hereditary xanthinuria. This article reviews the research progress on renal calculus associated with inborn error of metabolism, to provide reference for early screening, diagnosis, treatment, prevention and recurrence of renal calculus.

Abstract
Kidney stones (also known as urinary stones or nephrolithiasis) are highly prevalent, affecting approximately 10% of adults worldwide, and the incidence of stone disease is increasing. Kidney stone formation results from an imbalance of inhibitors and promoters of crystallization, and calcium-containing calculi account for over 80% of stones. In most patients, the underlying aetiology is thought to be multifactorial, with environmental, dietary, hormonal and genetic components. The advent of high-throughput sequencing techniques has enabled a monogenic cause of kidney stones to be identified in up to 30% of children and 10% of adults who form stones, with ~35 different genes implicated. In addition, genome-wide association studies have implicated a series of genes involved in renal tubular handling of lithogenic substrates and of inhibitors of crystallization in stone disease in the general population. Such findings will likely lead to the identification of additional treatment targets involving underlying enzymatic or protein defects, including but not limited to those that alter urinary biochemistry.

Calcium and Vitamin D Supplementation and Their Association with Kidney Stone Disease: A Narrative Review. Nutrients 2021; 13:nu13124363.

Abstract
Kidney stone disease is a multifactorial condition influenced by both genetic predisposition and environmental factors such as lifestyle and dietary habits. Although different monogenic polymorphisms have been proposed as playing a causal role for calcium nephrolithiasis, the prevalence of these mutations in the general population and their complete pathogenetic pathway is yet to be determined. General dietary advice for kidney stone formers includes elevated fluid intake, dietary restriction of sodium and animal proteins, avoidance of a low calcium diet, maintenance of a normal body mass index, and elevated intake of vegetables and fibers. Thus, balanced calcium consumption protects against the risk for kidney stones by reducing intestinal oxalate availability and its urinary excretion. However, calcium supplementation given between meals might increase urinary calcium excretion without the beneficial effect on oxalate. In kidney stone formers, circulating active vitamin D has been found to be increased, whereas higher plasma 25-hydroxycholecalciferol seems to be present only in hypercalciuric patients. The association between nutritional vitamin D supplements and the risk for stone formation is currently not completely understood. However, taken together, available evidence might suggest that vitamin D administration worsens the risk for stone formation in patients predisposed to hypercalciuria. In this review, we analyzed and discussed available literature on the effect of calcium and vitamin D supplementation on the risk for kidney stone formation.

Abstract
CONTEXT Idiopathic infantile hypercalcemia (IIH), an uncommon disorder characterized by elevated serum concentrations of 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D) and low parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels, may present with mild to severe hypercalcemia during the first months of life. Biallelic variants in the CYP24A1 or SLC34A1 genes are associated with severe IIH. Little is known about milder forms. OBJECTIVE This work aims to characterize the genetic associations and biochemical profile of mild IIH. METHODS This is a cross-sectional study including children between age 6 months and 17 years with IIH who were followed in the Calcium Clinic at the Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids), Toronto, Canada. Twenty children with mild IIH on calcium-restricted diets were evaluated. We performed a dietary assessment and analyzed biochemical measures including vitamin D metabolites and performed a stepwise molecular genetic analysis. Complementary biochemical assessments and renal ultrasounds were offered to first-degree family members of positive probands. RESULTS The median age was 16 months. Median serum levels of calcium (2.69 mmol/L), urinary calcium:creatinine ratio (0.72 mmol/mmol), and 1,25(OH)2D (209 pmol/L) were elevated, whereas intact PTH was low normal (22.5 ng/L). Mean 1,25(OH)2D/PTH and 1,25(OH)2D/25(OH)D ratios were increased by comparison to healthy controls. Eleven individuals (55%) had renal calcification. Genetic variants were common (65%), with the majority being heterozygous variants in SLC34A1 and SLC34A3, while a minority showed variants of CYP24A1 and other genes related to hypercalciuria. CONCLUSION The milder form of IIH has a distinctive vitamin D metabolite profile and is primarily associated with heterozygous SLC34A1 and SLC34A3 variants.

Abstract
Pathogenic variants (PVs) in CYP24A1 gene are associated with Idiopathic Infantile Hypercalcemia disease (IIH). The identification of CYP24A1 PVs can be a useful tool for the improvement of target therapeutic strategies. Aim of this study is to set up a rapid and inexpensive High Resolution Melting Analysis (HRMA)-based method for the simultaneous genotyping of two hot spot PVs in CYP24A1 gene, involved in IIH. A duplex-HRMA (dHRMA) was designed in order to detect simultaneously CYP24A1 c.428_430delAAG, p.(Glu143del) (rs777676129) and c.1186C > T, p.(Arg396Trp) (rs114368325), in peculiar cases addressed to our Laboratory. dHRMA was able to identify clearly and simultaneously both hot spot CYP24A1 PVs evaluating melting curve shape and melting temperature (Tm). This is the first dHRMA approach to rapidly screen the two most frequent CYP24A1 PVs in peculiar case, providing useful information for diagnosis and patient management in IIH disease.

Abstract
The type II sodium-dependent phosphate cotransporter (NPT2A) mediates renal phosphate uptake. The NPT2A is regulated by parathyroid hormone (PTH) and fibroblast growth factor 23, which requires Na+/H+ exchange regulatory factor-1 (NHERF1), a multidomain PDZ-containing phosphoprotein. Phosphocycling controls the association between NHERF1 and the NPT2A. Here, we characterize the critical involvement of G protein–coupled receptor kinase 6A (GRK6A) in mediating PTH-sensitive phosphate transport by targeted phosphorylation coupled with NHERF1 conformational rearrangement, which in turn allows phosphorylation at a secondary site. GRK6A, through its carboxy-terminal PDZ recognition motif, binds NHERF1 PDZ1 with greater affinity than PDZ2. However, the association between NHERF1 PDZ2 and GRK6A is necessary for PTH action. Ser162, a PKCα phosphorylation site in PDZ2, regulates the binding affinity between PDZ2 and GRK6A. Substitution of Ser162 with alanine (S162A) blocks the PTH action but does not disrupt the interaction between NHERF1 and the NPT2A. Replacement of Ser162 with aspartic acid (S162D) abrogates the interaction between NHERF1 and the NPT2A and concurrently PTH action. We used amber codon suppression to generate a phosphorylated Ser162(pSer162)-PDZ2 variant. KD values determined by fluorescence anisotropy indicate that incorporation of pSer162 increased the binding affinity to the carboxy terminus of GRK6A 2-fold compared with WT PDZ2. Molecular dynamics simulations predict formation of an electrostatic network between pSer162 and Asp183 of PDZ2 and Arg at position −1 of the GRK6A PDZ-binding motif. Our results suggest that PDZ2 plays a regulatory role in PTH-sensitive NPT2A-mediated phosphate transport and phosphorylation of Ser162 in PDZ2 modulates the interaction with GRK6A.

[PMID: 33499384 PMCID: PMC7866199 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22031087] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2020] [Revised: 01/15/2021] [Accepted: 01/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Na+/H+ exchange factor-1 (NHERF1), a multidomain PDZ scaffolding phosphoprotein, is required for the type II sodium-dependent phosphate cotransporter (NPT2A)-mediated renal phosphate absorption. Both PDZ1 and PDZ2 domains are involved in NPT2A-dependent phosphate uptake. Though harboring identical core-binding motifs, PDZ1 and PDZ2 play entirely different roles in hormone-regulated phosphate transport. PDZ1 is required for the interaction with the C-terminal PDZ-binding sequence of NPT2A (-TRL). Remarkably, phosphocycling at Ser290 distant from PDZ1, the penultimate step for both parathyroid hormone (PTH) and fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) regulation, controls the association between NHERF1 and NPT2A. PDZ2 interacts with the C-terminal PDZ-recognition motif (-TRL) of G Protein-coupled Receptor Kinase 6A (GRK6A), and that promotes phosphorylation of Ser290. The compelling biological puzzle is how PDZ1 and PDZ2 with identical GYGF core-binding motifs specifically recognize distinct binding partners. Binding determinants distinct from the canonical PDZ-ligand interactions and located "outside the box" explain PDZ domain specificity. Phosphorylation of NHERF1 by diverse kinases and associated conformational changes in NHERF1 add more complexity to PDZ-binding diversity.

Abstract
The various forms of Fanconi renotubular syndromes (FRTS) offer significant challenges for clinicians and present unique opportunities for scientists who study proximal tubule physiology. This review will describe the clinical characteristics, genetic underpinnings, and underlying pathophysiology of the major forms of FRST. Although the classic forms of FRTS will be presented (e.g., Dent disease or Lowe syndrome), particular attention will be paid to five of the most recently discovered FRTS subtypes caused by mutations in the genes encoding for L-arginine:glycine amidinotransferase (GATM), solute carrier family 34 (type Ii sodium/phosphate cotransporter), member 1 (SLC34A1), enoyl-CoAhydratase/3-hydroxyacyl CoA dehydrogenase (EHHADH), hepatocyte nuclear factor 4A (HNF4A), or NADH dehydrogenase complex I, assembly factor 6 (NDUFAF6). We will explore how mutations in these genes revealed unexpected mechanisms that led to compromised proximal tubule functions. We will also describe the inherent challenges associated with gene discovery studies based on findings derived from small, single-family studies by focusing the story of FRTS type 2 (SLC34A1). Finally, we will explain how extensive alternative splicing of HNF4A has resulted in confusion with mutation nomenclature for FRTS type 4.

Nephrocalcinosis: A Review of Monogenic Causes and Insights They Provide into This Heterogeneous Condition. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21010369. [PMID: 31935940 PMCID: PMC6981752 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21010369] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2019] [Revised: 01/01/2020] [Accepted: 01/02/2020] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
The abnormal deposition of calcium within renal parenchyma, termed nephrocalcinosis, frequently occurs as a result of impaired renal calcium handling. It is closely associated with renal stone formation (nephrolithiasis) as elevated urinary calcium levels (hypercalciuria) are a key common pathological feature underlying these clinical presentations. Although monogenic causes of nephrocalcinosis and nephrolithiasis are rare, they account for a significant disease burden with many patients developing chronic or end-stage renal disease. Identifying underlying genetic mutations in hereditary cases of nephrocalcinosis has provided valuable insights into renal tubulopathies that include hypercalciuria within their varied phenotypes. Genotypes affecting other enzyme pathways, including vitamin D metabolism and hepatic glyoxylate metabolism, are also associated with nephrocalcinosis. As the availability of genetic testing becomes widespread, we cannot be imprecise in our approach to nephrocalcinosis. Monogenic causes of nephrocalcinosis account for a broad range of phenotypes. In cases such as Dent disease, supportive therapies are limited, and early renal replacement therapies are necessitated. In cases such as renal tubular acidosis, a good renal prognosis can be expected providing effective treatment is implemented. It is imperative we adopt a precision-medicine approach to ensure patients and their families receive prompt diagnosis, effective, tailored treatment and accurate prognostic information.
