The importance of fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-23 as part of a hormonal bone-kidney-axis has been well established. Lately, FGF-23 has been suggested as an independent risk factor of death in patients on chronic hemodialysis. Hyperparathyroidism is a common feature of advanced kidney failure or end-stage renal disease. The independent effect of elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels on FGF-23 secretion is still a matter of debate and has not yet been studied in an <em>in</em> <em>vitro</em> model of human bone marrow cells (BMC) during osteogenic differentiation. BMC from three different donors were cultivated for 4 weeks in cell cultures devoid of vitamin D either without 1-34 PTH or with PTH concentrations of 10 or 100 pmol/L, respectively. After 28 days, protein expression of the cells was determined by immunocytochemical staining, whereas real time-polymerase chain reaction served to analyze gene expression of several osteoblastic (osteocalcin, RANKL, Runx-2 and ostase) and osteoclastic markers (RANK, TRAP-5b). The concentrations of FGF-23, ostase and TRAP-5b were determined by ELISA at weeks 2, 3 and 4. We found a basal expression of FGF-23 with no increase in FGF-23 secretion after stimulation with 10 pmol/L 1-34 PTH. Stimulation with 100 pmol/L PTH resulted in an increase in FGF-23 expression (14.1±3.6 pg/mL with no PTH, 13.7±4.0 pg/mL with 10 pmol/L, P=0.84 and 17.6±3.4 pg/mL with 100 pmol/L, P=0.047). These results suggest a vitamin D and PTH-independent FGF-23 expression in human BMC after osteogenic stimulation. As only higher PTH levels stimulated FGF-23 expression, a threshold level might be hypothesized.

Tumor-induced osteomalacia is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome with approximately 500 cases reported. It presents with a variety of nonspecific symptoms including weakness, muscle and bone pain, and fracture. Characteristic laboratory findings are hypophosphatemia, an elevated alkaline phosphatase, normal parathyroid hormone, normal serum calcium concentration, and an inappropriately low 1,25(OH)2-vitamin D3 concentration. Initially, tumor-induced osteomalacia is misdiagnosed in over 95% of cases. Hypophosphatemia results from renal phosphate wasting occurring as a consequence of FGF-23 production by the tumor. FGF-23 reduces expression and stimulates endocytosis of two sodium-phosphate cotransporters found in the luminal membrane of the proximal tubule resulting in renal phosphate wasting. FGF-23 also inhibits the formation and stimulates the degradation of 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D3. The most common tumor causing tumor-induced osteomalacia is a mixed connective tissue tumor known as a “phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor.” Due to its rarity, it is often misdiagnosed. Molecular studies have shed light on the mechanisms of tumorigenesis with the identification of a fibronectin and fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 fusion protein expressed in about half of cases and a fibronectin and fibroblast growth factor 1 fusion protein in a small subset of tumors. Often small and slow growing, the tumors may be found in unusual locations, such as the extremities and nasal sinuses and are difficult to localize. Definitive treatment involves identification and removal of the tumor. Absent tumor removal, therapeutic goals include improvement of symptoms, raising the serum phosphorus concentration to the lower limit of normal, and maintenance or achievement of normal parathyroid hormone and alkaline phosphatase concentration. Two recent drugs that target pathways involved in the molecular pathogenesis of tumor-induced osteomalacia have recently been developed and are in early-phase clinical trials: the humanized anti-FGF-23 monoclonal antibody burosumab (KRN23) and the FGFR-1,2,3 inhibitor NVP-BGJ398.

Fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) has been recently identified as playing an important pathophysiological role in phosphate homeostasis and vitamin D metabolism. To elucidate the precise physiological regulation of FGF-23, we characterized the mouse FGF-23 5′-flanking region and analyzed its promoter activity. The 5′-flanking region of the mouse FGF-23 gene contained a TFIID site (TATA box) and several putative transcription factor binding sites, including MZF1, GATA-1 and c-Ets-1 motifs, but it did not contain the typical sequences of the vitamin D response element. Plasmids encoding 554-bp (pGL/−0.6), 364-bp (pGL/−0.4) and 200-bp (pGL/−0.13) promoter regions containing the TFIID element and +1-bp fragments drove the downstream expression of a luciferase reporter gene in transfection assays. We also found that FGF-23 mRNA was expressed in K-562 erythroleukemia cell lines but not in MC3T3-E1, Raji, or Hep G2 human carcinoma cells. Treatment with 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3in the presence of high phosphate markedly stimulated pGL/−0.6 activity, but calcium had no effect. In addition, the plasma FGF-23 levels were affected by the dietary and plasma inorganic phosphate concentrations. Finally, the levels of plasma FGF-23 in vitamin D receptor-null mice were significantly lower than in wild-type mice. The presents study demonstrated that vitamin D and the plasma phosphate level are important regulators of the transcription of the mouse FGF-23 gene.
