Abstract Background Phosphate binders are commonly used in the treatment of patients with hyperphosphatemia. While phosphate binders are used to lower phosphate, the effects of specific phosphate binder types on vitamin D metabolism are unknown. Methods We performed a secondary analysis of the Phosphate Normalization Trial in which patients with moderate to advanced chronic kidney disease were randomized to receive either placebo, sevelamer carbonate, lanthanum carbonate or calcium acetate for 9 months. We evaluated changes in serum concentrations of vitamin D metabolites including 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [24,25(OH)2D3], 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3], the ratio of 24,25(OH)2D3 to 25-hydroxyvitamin D [the vitamin D metabolite ratio (VMR)] and the ratio of serum 1,25(OH)2D to 25-hydroxyvitamin D. Results Compared with placebo, randomization to the calcium acetate arm was associated with a 0.6 ng/mL (95% CI 0.2, 1) and 13.5 pg/ng (95% CI 5.5, 21.5) increase in 24,25(OH)2D and VMR, respectively, and a 5.2 pg/mL (95% CI 1.1, 9.4) reduction in 1,25(OH)2D. Randomization to sevelamer carbonate was associated with a 0.5 ng/mL (95% CI −0.9, −0.1) and 11.8 pg/ng (95% CI −20, −3.5) reduction in 24,25(OH)2D3 and VMR, respectively. There was no association of the sevelamer arm with the change in 1,25(OH)2D3, and randomization to lanthanum carbonate was not associated with a change in any of the vitamin D metabolites. Conclusion Administration of different phosphate binders to patients with moderate to severe CKD results in unique changes in vitamin D metabolism.

The demand for vitamin D analysis in veterinary species is increasing with the growing knowledge of the extra-skeletal role vitamin D plays in health and disease. The circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin-D (25(OH)D) metabolite is used to assess vitamin D status, and the benefits of analysing other metabolites in the complex vitamin D pathway are being discovered in humans. Profiling of the vitamin D pathway by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) facilitates simultaneous analysis of multiple metabolites in a single sample and over wide dynamic ranges, and this method is now considered the gold-standard for quantifying vitamin D metabolites. However, very few studies report using LC-MS/MS for the analysis of vitamin D metabolites in veterinary species. Given the complexity of the vitamin D pathway and the similarities in the roles of vitamin D in health and disease between humans and companion animals, there is a clear need to establish a comprehensive, reliable method for veterinary analysis that is comparable to that used in human clinical practice. In this review, we highlight the differences in vitamin D metabolism between veterinary species and the benefits of measuring vitamin D metabolites beyond 25(OH)D. Finally, we discuss the analytical challenges in profiling vitamin D in veterinary species with a focus on LC-MS/MS methods.

Abstract Abstract Context: The “free hormone” hypothesis suggests that the free 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHDFree) level may usefully indicate bone health. Objective: To determine which vitamin D measure is optimally correlated with clinical and bone parameters in healthy children. Design and Participants: A cross-sectional study including 146 healthy children (71 boys, 9.5±1.9 years) at a tertiary medical center. Main Outcome Measures: We used a multiplex liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry-based assay to simultaneously measure vitamin D metabolites. The 25OHDFree level was directly measured (m-25OHDFree) or calculated using genotype-constant or genotype-specific affinity coefficients of vitamin D-binding proteins (con-25OHDFree or spe-25OHDFree). Bone mineral content (BMC) and density (BMD) were assessed via dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Results: The concentrations of total 25OHD (25OHDTotal), the three forms of 25OHDFree, and 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 correlated with parathyroid hormone levels (all p<0.01). Serum 25OHDTotal and m-25OHDFree levels reflected age, puberty, season, body mass index (BMI), daylight hours, and vitamin D intake (all p<0.05). The con-25OHDFree level better reflected puberty and daylight hours than did the spe-25OHDFree level (both p<0.01). The association between the 25OHDTotal level and bone parameters varied according to the BMI (interaction p<0.05). In 109 normal-weight children, the con-25OHDFree level correlated with BMC and BMD (both p<0.05), but the 25OHDTotal and 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 levels were associated with BMC (both p<0.05). No association was found in overweight or obese children. Conclusions: In healthy children, total and free 25OHD levels comparably reflected lifestyle factors. In normal-weight children, the con-25OHDFree level reflected BMC and BMD, whereas the 25OHDTotal level was associated with BMC.

Abstract Context Vitamin D is classically recognized as a regulator of calcium and phosphorus metabolism. Recent advances in the measurement of vitamin D metabolites, diagnosis of vitamin D deficiency, and clinical observations have led to an appreciation that along with its role in skeletal metabolism, vitamin D may well have an important role in nonclassical settings. Measurement of the circulating form of vitamin D that best describes total body stores, namely 25-hydroxyvitamin D, can be unreliable despite many sophisticated methodologies that have been proposed and implemented. Likewise, evidence from clinical studies showing a beneficial role of vitamin D in different disease states has been controversial and at times speculative. Moreover, the target concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D to address a number of putative links between vitamin D inadequacy and nonskeletal diseases are further areas of uncertainty. Setting To address these issues, an international conference on “Controversies in Vitamin D” was held in Pisa, Italy, in June 2017. Three main topics were addressed: (i) vitamin D assays and the definition of hypovitaminosis D; (ii) skeletal and extraskeletal effects of vitamin D; (iii) therapeutics of vitamin D. Results This report provides a summary of the deliberations of the expert panels of the conference. Conclusions Despite great advances in our appreciation of vitamin D metabolism, measurements, biological actions on classical and nonclassical tissues, and therapeutics, all of which this report summarizes, much more work remains to be done so that our knowledge base can become even more secure.

Abstract. Serum vitamin D metabolites, the renal tubular maximum reabsorptive rate for phosphate (TMP/GFR) nephrogenic cyclic AMP (NcAMPI, and CaE (urinary calcium excretion per litre of glomerular filtrate) were measured in 14 adults with familial hypocalciuric hypercalcaemia (FHH). The findings were compared with analyses in 14 patients with surgically proven primary hyperparathyroidism matched for serum calcium, creatinine clearance and vitamin D status (assessed by serum concentrations of 25 hydroxyvitamin D). Vitamin D metabolites were also measured in 16 normocalcaemic relatives of patients with FHH. The serum concentration of 24, 25 dihydroxycholecalciferol was appropriate for the prevailing 25 hydroxyvitamin D and no difference was found between groups. The serum concentration of 1, 25 dihydroxycholecalciferol was significantly greater in primary hyperparathyroidism (P < 0.0005) compared with patients with FHH and their normocalcaemic relatives. TMP/GFR was reduced in both primary hyperparathyroidism (0.53 ± 0.12 mmol/l GF, mean ± sem) and FHH (0.86 ±0.14 mmol/l GF). Patients with primary hyperparathyroidism showed an increase in NcAMP output in the urine (38.5 ± 16 mmol/l GF) which was significantly greater (P < 0.0001) than the normal NcAMP (13.5 ± 9.2 nmol/l GF) found in FHH. CaE was low in FHH indicating increased renal tubular reabsorption of calcium. It is concluded that there is no abnormality of vitamin D metabolism in FHH comparable with the changes observed in primary hyperparathyroidism. It is suggested that the biochemical abnormalities in FHH cannot be explained solely upon an increased sensitivity of the renal tubules to the effects of endogenous parathyroid hormone.

Objective. Genetic studies have identified four Qatari genotypes: Q1 Arab, Bedouin; Q2 Asian/Persian; Q3 African; and a fourth admixed group not fitting into the previous 3 groups. This study was undertaken to determine if there was an increased risk of deficiency of vitamin D and its metabolites associated with differing genotypes, perhaps due to genetic differences in skin pigmentation. Methods. 398 Qatari subjects (220 type 2 diabetes and 178 controls) had their genotype determined by Affymetrix 500 k SNP arrays. Total values of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D), 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (24,25(OH)2D), and 25-hydroxy-3epi-vitamin D (3epi-25(OH)D) concentrations were measured by the LC-MS/MS analysis. Results. The distribution was as follows: 164 (41.2%) genotyped Q1, 149 (37.4%) genotyped Q2, 31 (7.8%) genotyped Q3, and 54 (13.6%) genotyped “admixed.” Median levels of 25(OH)D and 3epi-25(OH)D did not differ across Q1, Q2, Q3, and “admixed” genotypes, respectively. 1,25(OH)2D levels were lower (p<0.04) between Q2 and the admixed groups, and 24,25(OH)2D levels were lower (p<0.05) between Q1 and the admixed groups. Vitamin D metabolite levels were lower in females for 25(OH)D, 1,25(OH)2D (p<0.001), and 24,25(OH)2D (p<0.006), but 3epi-25(OH)D did not differ (p<0.26). Diabetes prevalence was not different between genotypes. Total 1,25(OH)2D (p<0.001), total 24,25(OH)2D (p<0.001), and total 3epi-25(OH)D (p<0.005) were all significantly lower in diabetes patients compared to controls whilst the total 25(OH)D was higher in diabetes than controls (p<0.001). Conclusion. Whilst 25(OH)D levels did not differ between genotype groups, 1,25(OH)2D and 24,25(OH)2D were lower in the admixed group, suggesting that there are genetic differences in vitamin D metabolism that may be of importance in a population that may allow a more targeted approach to vitamin D replacement. This may be of specific importance in vitamin D replacement strategies with the Q2 genotype requiring less, and the other genotypes requiring more to increase 1,25(OH)2D. Whilst overall the group was vitamin D deficient, total 25(OH)D was higher in diabetes, but 1,25(OH)2D, 24,25(OH)2D, and 3epi-25(OH)D were lower in diabetes that did not affect the relationship to genotype.

Vitamin D metabolism is actively modulated in adipose tissue during obesity. To better investigate this process, we develop a specific LC-HRMS/MS method that can simultaneously quantify three vitamin D metabolites, i.e., cholecalciferol, 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25(OH)D3), and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) in a complex matrix, such as mouse adipose tissue and plasma. The method uses pretreatment with liquid–liquid or solid–phase extraction followed by derivatization using Amplifex® reagents to improve metabolite stability and ionization efficiency. Here, the method is optimized by co-eluting stable isotope-labelled internal standards to calibrate each analogue and to spike biological samples. Intra-day and inter-day relative standard deviations were 0.8–6.0% and 2.0–14.4%, respectively for the three derivatized metabolites. The limits of quantification (LoQ) achieved with Amplifex® derivatization were 0.02 ng/mL, 0.19 ng/mL, and 0.78 ng/mL for 1,25(OH)2D3, 25(OH)D3 and cholecalciferol, respectively. Now, for the first time, 1,25(OH)2D3 can be co-quantified with cholecalciferol and 25(OH)D3 in mouse adipose tissue. This validated method is successfully applied to study the impact of obesity on vitamin D status in mice.

Abstract. In order to investigate vitamin D metabolism in insulin-deficient diabetic rats, plasma vitamin D metabolites were measured at various periods after induction of diabetes by iv administration of 60 mg/kg streptozotocin (STZ). After STZ injection, plasma insulin was significantly decreased and plasma urea nitrogen increased with the duration of diabetes, while plasma creatinine remained unchanged. Plasma calcium, 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), and 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (24,25(OH)2D) progressively decreased. On the other hand, plasma 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D) did not change at any period, but the ratio of 1,25(OH)2D to 25(OH)D became high in proportion to the severity of hypocalcaemia. Since significantly lower 25(OH)D and 24,25(OH)2D levels were observed at the later stage of diabetes, it is suggested that the altered vitamin D metabolism in diabetes is secondary to the disturbances in metabolic homeostasis derived form the insulin deficiency.

Abstract The best management of vitamin D deficiency, defined as a 25-hydroxyvitamin D [(25(OH)D] level &lt;50nM, is unclear. Intramuscular (IM) injection of a large bolus of vitamin D (≥100 000 IU) is used,but its safety is uncertain. In 10 adults given an IM injection of 600 000IU vitamin D3, we measured at baseline and at 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks postinjection the serum levels of vitamin D3,25(OH)D3, 25(OH)D2, total 25(OH)D, 3-epi-25(OH)D3, and 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [24,25(OH)2D3] using a standardized LC with tandem MS (MS/MS)assay; serum levels of 25(OH)D using the Abbott ARCHITECT i2000 immunoassay; and markers of bone metabolism. Bone markers and 25(OH)D (immunoassay) were remeasured at 24 weeks. All participants had baseline total 25(OH)D levels &gt;50 nM. Serum 25(OH)D levels increased at 3, 4, and 24 weeks postinjection, peaking at 4 weeks [mean ± SEM of 126 ± 7.9nM (immunoassay) and 100 ± 5.5 nM (LC-MS/MS)]but generally remained &lt;125 nM, the upper limit recommended by the U.S. Institute of Medicine. Serum 24,25(OH)2D3 levels increased at 3 and 4 weeks postinjection. Serum ionized calcium levels were higher than baseline at 1, 3, and 4 weeks postinjection but remained within the clinicallynormal range. Other biochemical parameters, including other vitamin D metabolites, plasma alkaline phosphatase, and parathyroid hormone levels, were unchanged. IM injection of a large bolus of vitamin D effectively increases serum 25(OH)D levels without evidence of metabolic abnormality.

AbstractHypercalcemia occurs in up to 4% of the population in association with malignancy, primary hyperparathyroidism, ingestion of excessive calcium and/or vitamin D, ectopic production of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH)2D], and impaired degradation of 1,25(OH)2D. The ingestion of excessive amounts of vitamin D3 (or vitamin D2) results in hypercalcemia and hypercalciuria due to the formation of supraphysiological amounts of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] that bind to the vitamin D receptor, albeit with lower affinity than the active form of the vitamin, 1,25(OH)2D, and the formation of 5,6-trans 25(OH)D, which binds to the vitamin D receptor more tightly than 25(OH)D. In patients with granulomatous disease such as sarcoidosis or tuberculosis and tumors such as lymphomas, hypercalcemia occurs as a result of the activity of ectopic 25(OH)D-1-hydroxylase (CYP27B1) expressed in macrophages or tumor cells and the formation of excessive amounts of 1,25(OH)2D. Recent work has identified a novel cause of non-PTH-mediated hypercalcemia that occurs when the degradation of 1,25(OH)2D is impaired as a result of mutations of the 1,25(OH)2D-24-hydroxylase cytochrome P450 (CYP24A1). Patients with biallelic and, in some instances, monoallelic mutations of the CYP24A1 gene have elevated serum calcium concentrations associated with elevated serum 1,25(OH)2D, suppressed PTH concentrations, hypercalciuria, nephrocalcinosis, nephrolithiasis, and on occasion, reduced bone density. Of interest, first-time calcium renal stone formers have elevated 1,25(OH)2D and evidence of impaired 24-hydroxylase-mediated 1,25(OH)2D degradation. We will describe the biochemical processes associated with the synthesis and degradation of various vitamin D metabolites, the clinical features of the vitamin D-mediated hypercalcemia, their biochemical diagnosis, and treatment.
