Abstract
OBJECTIVE Vitamin D deficiency is a major problem for human health worldwide. The mechanisms of vitamin D in the male reproductive system are unknown. After coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines were developed, doubts were raised about their possible effects on male fertility. Based on vitamin D's function in the immune system, its potential role as an adjuvant for COVID-19 vaccines is intriguing. The aims of this study were to assess the effects of vitamin D first on sperm parameters and sex hormones, and then as an immune adjuvant on sperm parameters and sex hormones after study participants had received their second doses of COVID-19 vaccines. METHODS Phase 1 (before the COVID-19 pandemic) included 72 men with idiopathic infertility, and phase 2 had 64 participants who received two doses of COVID-19 vaccines. Both groups were instructed to take 50,000 IU of vitamin D twice monthly for 3 months. Sperm parameters and sex hormones were assessed pre- and post-supplementation. RESULTS Regular vitamin D intake for 3 months significantly increased the participants' vitamin D levels (p=0.0001). Both phases showed a positive correlation between vitamin D intake and sperm parameters. Vaccination had no negative effects on sperm parameters and sex hormones. Vitamin D was associated with follicle-stimulating hormone (p=0.02) and testosterone (p=0.0001) in phase 2 after treatment. CONCLUSION Our results support vitamin D supplementation as an immune adjunct to COVID-19 vaccination for improving sperm parameters and hormone levels. COVID-19 vaccination is not harmful for male fertility potential, and vitamin D is an effective factor for male fertility.

Abstract
Calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) are minerals involved in biological functions and essential structural components of the skeleton. The body tightly regulates Ca and P to maintain homeostasis. Maternal needs for Ca and P increase during gestation and lactation to support conceptus growth and milk synthesis. Litter size and litter average daily gain (ADG) have a large effect on Ca and P requirements for sows because as they increase, the requirements increase due to a greater need from the sow. The objective of this review was to summarize published literature on Ca and P requirements in gestating and lactating sows derived from empirical data and factorial models. A total of nine empirical studies and seven factorial models were reviewed for determining the Ca and P requirements in gestation. For lactation, there were six empirical studies and seven factorial models reviewed. Empirical studies determined requirements based on the observed effect of Ca and P on bone mineralization, sow and litter performance, and milk characteristics. Factorial models generated equations to estimate Ca and P requirements using the main components of maintenance, fetal and placental growth, and maternal retention in gestation. The main components for factorial equations in lactation include maintenance and milk production. In gestation, the standardized total tract digestible phosphorus (STTD P) requirement estimates from empirical studies range from 5.4 to 9.5 g/d with total Ca ranging from 12.9 to 18.6 g/d to maximize bone measurements or performance criteria. According to the factorial models, the requirements increase throughout gestation to meet the needs of the growing fetuses and range from 7.6 to 10.6 g/d and 18.4 to 38.2 g/d of STTD P and total Ca, respectively, on day 114 of gestation for parity 1 sows. During lactation, STTD P requirement estimates from empirical studies ranged from 8.5 to 22.1 g/d and total Ca ranged from 21.2 to 50.4 g/d. For the lactation factorial models, STTD P requirements ranged from 14.2 to 25.1 g/d for STTD P and 28.4 to 55.6 g/d for total Ca for parity 1 sows with a litter size of 15 pigs. The large variation in requirement estimates makes it difficult to define Ca and P requirements; however, a minimum level of 6.0 and 22.1 g/d of STTD P during gestation and lactation, respectively, appears to be adequate to meet basal requirements. The limited data and high variation indicate a need for future research evaluating Ca and P requirements for gestating and lactating sows.

Abstract
Chronic diseases may affect the nutritional status of children and adolescents. Calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), and vitamin D (Vit-D) are crucial nutrients for their growth and development. Proper diagnosis and treatment are critical components of personalized and precision medicine. Hence, we conducted a cross-sectional and comparative study to evaluate Ca, P, and Vit-D levels in their non-skeletal functions and their association with health and nutritional biomarkers in children and adolescents with diverse chronic conditions. We performed anthropometric, body composition, clinical evaluation, biochemical analysis, and dietary survey methods. A total of 78 patients (1-19 years, 43 females, 42 children) took part in this study. Overall, 24, 30, and 24 participants were obese, undernourished, and eutrophic, respectively. Results found that 74% and 35% of individuals had deficient Vit-D and Ca intake, respectively. Most cases were normocalcemic. Results also found that 47% of the subjects had Vit-D deficiency (VDD), 37% were insufficient, and 37% had hypophosphatemia. Of the 46% and 31% of patients with VDD and insufficient levels, 19% and 11% were hypophosphatemic, respectively. Calcium, P, and Vit-D levels were associated with anthropometric parameters, body mass index, body composition, physical activity, diet, growth hormones, and the immune, liver, and kidney systems. These results show the coincident risk of altered Ca, P, and Vit-D metabolism in children and adolescents with chronic diseases.

Abstract
Vitamin D is mainly produced in the skin (cholecalciferol) by sun exposure while a fraction of it is obtained from dietary sources (ergocalciferol). Vitamin D is further processed to 25-hydroxyvitamin D and 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D (calcitriol) in the liver and kidneys, respectively. Calcitriol is the active form which mediates the actions of vitamin D via vitamin D receptor (VDR) which is present ubiquitously. Defect at any level in this pathway leads to vitamin D deficient or resistant rickets. Nutritional vitamin D deficiency is the leading cause of rickets and osteomalacia worldwide and responds well to vitamin D supplementation. Inherited disorders of vitamin D metabolism (vitamin D-dependent rickets, VDDR) account for a small proportion of calcipenic rickets/osteomalacia. Defective 1α hydroxylation of vitamin D, 25 hydroxylation of vitamin D, and vitamin D receptor result in VDDR1A, VDDR1B and VDDR2A, respectively whereas defective binding of vitamin D to vitamin D response element due to overexpression of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein and accelerated vitamin D metabolism cause VDDR2B and VDDR3, respectively. Impaired dietary calcium absorption and consequent calcium deficiency increases parathyroid hormone in these disorders resulting in phosphaturia and hypophosphatemia. Hypophosphatemia is a common feature of all these disorders, though not a sine-qua-non and leads to hypomineralisation of the bone and myopathy. Improvement in hypophosphatemia is one of the earliest markers of response to vitamin D supplementation in nutritional rickets/osteomalacia and the lack of such a response should prompt evaluation for inherited forms of rickets/osteomalacia.

Abstract
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a monogenic disease with different types of mutations that mainly affect the respiratory-digestive system. Calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), and vitamin D (Vit-D) are essential nutrients for maintaining adequate growth and development, as well as key components in crucial metabolic pathways. Proper diagnosis, treatment, and response are decisive components of precision medicine. Therefore, we conducted a cross-sectional study to evaluate Ca, P, and Vit-D levels along with health and nutritional indicators, regarding their non-skeletal functions, in a series of CF patients. Anthropometric and clinical evaluation, biochemical analysis, dietary survey, and respiratory and pancreatic status were performed. Even though the results showed that all patients had normal dietary and serum Ca levels, 47% of patients had deficient Vit-D intake, 53% of patients had hypovitaminosis D, 35% had insufficient Vit-D levels, 18% had hypophosphatemia, 76% had elevated alkaline phosphate levels, 29% had hypercalciuria, and 65% had hyperphosphaturia. There were no significant differences between homozygous and compound heterozygous patients. Ca, P, and Vit-D levels were associated with body mass index; body composition; physical activity; diet; growth hormones; and the immune, liver, and kidney systems. We suggest a periodically evaluation of Ca and P losses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rickets occurs in infants and children (aged 2 months to 3 years), compromising their skeletal development and damaging nervous, hematopoietic, immune, and other system functions. This study aimed to explore the significance of CD38 in rickets. METHODS The microarray dataset GSE22523 was analyzed to obtain differentially expressed genes in rickets patients. A total of 36 rickets patients and healthy controls were recruited for the study, and their blood samples were collected, followed by detecting mRNA levels of CD38 using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Moreover, the significance of CD38 in rickets patients was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, while the correlation between CD38 and 25-hydroxy-vitamin D (25OHD)/parathyroid hormone (PTH) was analyzed with Pearson's correlation. RESULTS Results showed that CD38 mRNA levels and PTH contents were significantly increased in the rickets patients while 25OHD contents were decreased. Correlation analysis indicated that CD38 was positively correlated with PTH and negatively correlated with 25OHD in both serum and plasma samples of rickets patients. Moreover, ROC analysis showed that serum CD38 was 0.9005 (95 % CI: 0.8313-0.9696), and the AUCs of plasma CD38 was 0.7215 (95 % CI: 0.6031-0.8398) in differentiating rickets patients from healthy persons, advocating serum CD38 had better diagnostic value. CONCLUSION CD38 mRNA levels were upregulated in rickets patients and closely correlated with PTH and 25OHD contents, indicating CD38 might be a diagnostic marker of rickets patients. Further research on the diagnostic utility of CD38 is necessary for the diagnosis and treatment of ricketsin rickets in the future.

Abstract
The role of vitamin D in the prevention of chronic diseases including cancer, has received a great deal of attention during the past few decades. The term "Cancer" represents multiple disease states with varying biological complexities. The strongest link between vitamin D and cancer is provided by ecological and studies like observational, in preclinical models. It is apparent that vitamin D exerts diverse biological responses in a tissue specific manner. Moreover, several human factors could affect bioactivity of vitamin D. The mechanism(s) underlying vitamin D initiated anti-carcinogenic effects are diverse and includes changes at the muti-system levels. The oncogenic environment could easily corrupt the traditional role of vitamin D or could ensure resistance to vitamin D mediated responses. Several researchers have identified gaps in our knowledge pertaining to the role of vitamin D in cancer. Further areas are identified to solidify the role of vitamin D in cancer control strategies.

Abstract
Alcohol consumption is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer, even at low alcohol intake levels, but public awareness of the breast cancer risk associated with alcohol intake is low. Furthermore, the causative mechanisms underlying alcohol's association with breast cancer are unknown. The present theoretical paper uses a modified grounded theory method to review the research literature and propose that alcohol's association with breast cancer is mediated by phosphate toxicity, the accumulation of excess inorganic phosphate in body tissue. Serum levels of inorganic phosphate are regulated through a network of hormones released from the bone, kidneys, parathyroid glands, and intestines. Alcohol burdens renal function, which may disturb the regulation of inorganic phosphate, impair phosphate excretion, and increase phosphate toxicity. In addition to causing cellular dehydration, alcohol is an etiologic factor in nontraumatic rhabdomyolysis, which ruptures cell membranes and releases inorganic phosphate into the serum, leading to hyperphosphatemia. Phosphate toxicity is also associated with tumorigenesis, as high levels of inorganic phosphate within the tumor microenvironment activate cell signaling pathways and promote cancer cell growth. Furthermore, phosphate toxicity potentially links cancer and kidney disease in onco-nephrology. Insights into the mediating role of phosphate toxicity may lead to future research and interventions that raise public health awareness of breast cancer risk and alcohol consumption.

Abstract
Metastasis is a nonrandom process with varying degrees of organotropism-specific source-acceptor seeding. Understanding how patterns between source and acceptor tumors emerge remains a challenge in oncology. We hypothesize that organotropism results from the macronutrient niche of cells in source and acceptor organs. To test this, we constructed and analyzed a metastatic network based on 9303 records across 28 tissue types. We found that the topology of the network is nested and modular with scale-free degree distributions, reflecting organotropism along a specificity/generality continuum. The variation in topology is significantly explained by the matching of metastatic cells to their stoichiometric niche. Specifically, successful metastases are associated with higher phosphorus content in the acceptor compared to the source organ, due to metabolic constraints in proliferation crucial to the invasion of new tissues. We conclude that metastases are codetermined by processes at source and acceptor organs, where phosphorus content is a limiting factor orchestrating tumor ecology.

Effect of vitamin D 3 supplementation in winter on physical performance of university students: a one-month randomized controlled trial. J Int Soc Sports Nutr 2023; 20:2258850. [PMID: 37735799 PMCID: PMC10540648 DOI: 10.1080/15502783.2023.2258850] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2023] [Accepted: 09/07/2023] [Indexed: 09/23/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND There is epidemiological evidence which suggests an association between 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels and bone and muscle function; however, it is unclear whether vitamin D supplementation has an added benefit beyond bone health. Here, we investigated the effects of vitamin D3 supplementation (1 month) on physical performance in Chinese university students in winter. METHODS One hundred and seventeen eligible subjects with 25(OH)D (19.2 ± 7.8 ng/mL) were randomly assigned to either vitamin D3 supplement (N = 56; 1000 IU/day) or the control (N = 61) group for 1 month. Pre- and post-measurements included: 1) serum levels of 25(OH)D; 2) musculoskeletal and pulmonary function [vertical jump height (VJH) and right handgrip strength (RHS), forced vital capacity (FVC), and forced expiratory volume at 1s (FEV1)]; 3) bone turnover markers [parathyroid hormone (PTH), n-terminal osteocalcin (N-MID), and calcium]; 4) hemoglobin-related parameters [hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (HCT), red blood cells (RBC), and red cell distribution width (RDW)]; 5) lipid parameters [total triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)]; 6) Fatigue-related indicators [serum creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and total testosterone (T)]. In addition, aerobic capacity was assessed by measuring maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) at baseline. RESULTS During wintertime, supplementation with 1000 IU/d of vitamin D3 significantly increased serum 25(OH)D levels (from 18.85 ± 7.04 to 26.98 ± 5.88 ng/mL, p < 0.05), accompanied by a decrease of PTH (p < 0.05). However, vitamin D3 supplementation did not significantly impact the physical performance, serum lipid parameters, and bone turnover markers of students. Furthermore, 25(OH)D was found to be positively correlated with VJH and negatively correlated with PTH and TC at the beginning and end of the study (p < 0.05). In addition, the multiple linear regression analysis showed that 25(OH)D combined with athletic, gender, height, weight, Hb, and FVC could account for 84.0% of the VO2max value. CONCLUSIONS The study demonstrated that one-month of 1000 IU/d of vitamin D3 supplementation during the winter had beneficial effects on 25(OH)D status and PTH. However, vitamin D3 intervention was not sufficient to improve physical performance. Furthermore, 25(OH)D levels combined with athletic, Hb and FVC could be a predictor of VO2max.

[PMID: 36963655 DOI: 10.1016/j.pharma.2023.03.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2023] [Revised: 03/13/2023] [Accepted: 03/20/2023] [Indexed: 03/26/2023]
Abstract
Hypophosphatemia is a recognized side effect of treatment of iron deficiency anemias with injectable iron. We analyzed 35 clinical trials that used ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) or iron sucrose (IS). Hypophosphatemia prevalence ranged from 0 to 91.7%. FCM-induced a significant (P<0.001) greater hypophosphatemia prevalence and phosphatemia decrease than IS (52.0% [95% CI: 42.2-61.8%] vs. 7.7% [95% CI: -2.8 to 18.2%] and -1.12mmol/L [95% CI: -1.36 to -0.89mmol/L] vs. -0.13mmol/L [95% CI: -0.59 to 0.32mmol/L]). FCM-induced hypophosphatemia was dose-dependent. The nadir of hypophosphatemia was reached in almost all studies after 7 and 14days. Hypophosphatemia persisted at the end of the study in 53.8% of the reported studies that used FCM and lasted up to 6months. FCM-induced an increase in intact circulating fibroblast growth factor 23 and in renal phosphorus excretion while serum 1-25 dihydroxyvitamin D was decreased. Risk factors for hypophosphatemia after FCM therapy were low basal circulating phosphate or ferritin, low body weight, high glomerular filtration rate, serum parathyroid hormone or hemoglobin and age, whereas renal insufficiency was associated with a lower risk. In conclusion, hypophosphatemia is common after treatment with injectable iron, FCM being associated with a higher risk than IS and with disorders of phosphocalcium metabolism. Monitoring of blood phosphate and 1-25 dihydroxyvitamin D could be considered during FCM therapy.

Abstract
SAL001, a recombinant form of parathyroid hormone, is a biosimilar drug to teriparatide and is planned to be used in osteoporosis treatment. A single-dose, randomized, open-label, 2-way crossover trial was conducted in healthy subjects to compare the pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety between SAL001 and the reference drug. Sixty-four subjects were enrolled in the study, and 61 subjects completed the study. In each period, 20 μg of the test or reference formulation was administered subcutaneously. SAL001 was administered by autoinjector pen, whereas the reference drug was administered by a self-matched injection pen. Serial blood samples were obtained for the analyses of PK and serum calcium concentration. Geometric mean ratios with 90%CIs for the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax ) and area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) were estimated. The safety of these 2 formulations was also evaluated. Overall, the 90%CIs for the geometric mean ratios of Cmax , AUC from time 0 to the last quantifiable time point, and AUC from time 0 extrapolated to infinity of the test or reference product were within 80.0%-125.0% of biosimilarity criteria. Other PK parameters, serum calcium concentration, and safety profiles had no significant differences between the 2 formulations. SAL001 demonstrated PK similarity to the reference drug, and the serum calcium concentration and safety profiles of SAL001 were also considered comparable to the reference drug.

Golgi damage caused by dysfunction of PiT-2 in primary familial brain calcification. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2023; 642:167-174.

Abstract
The Golgi apparatus is vital for protein modification and molecular trafficking. It is essential for nerve development and activity, and damage thereof is implicated in many neurological diseases. Primary familial brain calcification (PFBC) is a rare inherited neurodegenerative disease characterized by multiple brain calcifications. SLC20A2, which encodes the inorganic phosphate transporter 2 (PiT-2) protein, is the main pathogenic gene in PFBC. The PiT-2 protein is a sodium-dependent phosphate type III transporter, and dysfunction leads to a deficit in the cellular intake of inorganic phosphate (Pi) and calcium deposits. Whether the impaired Golgi apparatus is involved in the PFBC procession requires elucidation. In this study, we constructed induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from two PFBC patients with different SLC20A2 gene mutations (c.613G > A or del exon10) and two healthy volunteers as dependable cell models for research on pathogenic mechanism. To study the mechanism, we differentiated iPSCs into neurons and astrocytes in vitro. Our study found disruptive Golgi structure and damaged autophagy in PFBC neurons with increased activity of mTOR. We also found damaged mitochondria and increased apoptosis in the PFBC dopaminergic neurons and astrocytes. In this study, we prove that dysfunctional PiT-2 leads to an imbalance of cellular Pi, which may disrupt the Golgi apparatus with impaired autophagy, mitochondria and apoptosis in PFBC. Our study provides a new avenue for understanding nerve damage and pathogenic mechanism in brain calcifications.

Abstract
Escherichia coli are part of the normal intestinal microbiome, but some enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) and enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) strains can cause potentially life-threatening gastroenteritis. Virulence factors underlying the ability of EHEC and EPEC to cause disease include those encoded in the locus of the enterocyte effacement (LEE) pathogenicity island. Here, we demonstrated that EsrL, a small RNA present in many E. coli strains, promoted pathogenicity, adhesion, and biofilm formation in EHEC and EPEC. PhoB, the response regulator of the two-component system that controls cellular responses to phosphate, directly repressed esrL expression under low-phosphate conditions. A phosphate-rich environment, similar to that of the human intestine, relieved PhoB-mediated repression of esrL. EsrL interacted with and stabilized the LEE-encoded regulator (ler) transcript, which encodes a transcription factor for LEE genes, leading to increased bacterial adhesion to cultured cells and colonization of the rabbit colon. EsrL also bound to and stabilized the fimC transcript, which encodes a chaperone that is required for the assembly of type 1 pili, resulting in enhanced cell adhesion in pathogenic E. coli and enhanced biofilm formation in pathogenic and nonpathogenic E. coli. Our findings demonstrate that EsrL stimulates the expression of virulence genes in both EHEC and EPEC under phosphate-rich conditions, thus promoting the pathogenicity of EHEC and EPEC in the nutrient-rich gut environment.

[PMID: 36643091 PMCID: PMC9815959 DOI: 10.1253/circrep.cr-22-0124] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2022] [Accepted: 12/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: After the discovery of the Klotho gene, phosphate came into focus as a pathogenetic aging agent. Phosphate homeostasis is controlled by phosphate-regulating hormones: fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), vitamin D3, and parathyroid hormone. This study investigated the relationship between the deterioration in phosphate homeostasis and arterial stiffness by measuring serum FGF23 concentrations. Methods and Results: The study subjects comprised 82 hospitalized patients (31 males, 51 females; mean [±SD] age 78.6±10.5 years). All patients underwent chest computed tomography, measurement of central blood pressure (BP), and blood chemistry tests. Arterial calcification and/or stiffness was evaluated using the Agatston calcification score (ACS) and pulse wave velocity (PWV). PWV was significantly correlated with age (t=23.47, P<0.0001), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR; t=-4.40, P<0.0001), and ACS (t=4.36, P<0.0001). Serum FGF23 concentrations were significantly correlated with age (t=2.52, P=0.014), eGFR (t=-3.37, P<0.001), serum inorganic phosphorus concentrations (t=3.49, P<0.001), serum vitamin D3 concentrations (t=-4.57, P<0.001), ACS (t=2.30, P=0.025), augmentation pressure (t=2.48, P=0.015), central systolic BP (t=2.00, P=0.049), plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) concentrations (t=3.48, P<0.001), and PWV (t=2.99, P=0.004). PWV was positively related to augmentation pressure (t=4.09, P<0.001), central systolic BP (t=3.13, P=0.002), and plasma BNP concentrations (t=3.54, P<0.001). Conclusions: This study shows that the increase in serum FGF23 concentrations reflects deterioration of phosphate homeostasis and is an important predictor for arterial stiffness, which intensifies cardiac afterload.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Phosphate is crucial for cell signaling, energy metabolism, nucleotide synthesis, and bone mineralization. The gut-bone-parathyroid-kidney axis is influenced by parathyroid hormone, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, and phosphatonins, especially fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23). These hormones facilitate maintenance of phosphate homeostasis. This review summarizes current knowledge regarding the phosphate homeostasis, phosphatonin pathophysiology, and clinical implications of FGF23-related hypophosphatemic disorders, with specific focus on burosumab treatment. METHOD A focused literature search of PubMed was conducted. RESULTS Phosphatonins including FGF23, secreted frizzled-related protein 4, matrix extracellular phosphoglycoprotein, and fibroblast growth factor 7 play a pathogenic role in several hypophosphatemic disorders. Excess FGF23 inhibits sodium-dependent phosphate cotransporters (NaPi-2a and NaPi-2c), resulting in hyperphosphaturia and hypophosphatemia. Additionally, FGF23 suppresses 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D synthesis in the proximal renal tubule, and thus, it indirectly inhibits intestinal phosphate absorption. Disorders of FGF23-related hypophosphatemia include X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH), autosomal dominant hypophosphatemic rickets, autosomal recessive hypophosphatemic rickets, fibrous dysplasia/McCune-Albright syndrome, and tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO). Complications of conventional therapy with oral phosphate and vitamin D analogs comprise gastrointestinal distress, hypercalcemia, nephrocalcinosis, and secondary/tertiary hyperparathyroidism. In both children and adults with XLH and TIO, the anti-FGF23 antibody burosumab exhibits a favorable safety profile and is associated with healing of rickets in affected children and improvement of osteomalacia in both children and adults. CONCLUSION The treatment paradigm for XLH and TIO is changing based on data from recent clinical trials. Research suggest that burosumab is effective and safe for pediatric and adult patients with XLH or TIO.

Abstract
To better understand the causes of hypophosphatemia in children, we evaluated all serum phosphate tests performed in a tertiary hospital with unexpected but persistent temporary or isolated hypophosphatemia over an 18 year period. We collected 29,279 phosphate tests from 21,398 patients, of which 268 (1.2%) had at least one result showing hypophosphatemia. We found that endocrinopathies (n = 60), tumors (n = 10), and vitamin D deficiency (n = 3) were the medical conditions most commonly associated with mild hypophosphatemia, but in many patients the cause was unclear. Among patients with endocrinopathies, those with diabetes mellitus were found to have lower mean serum phosphate levels (mean 3.4 mg/dL) than those with short stature (3.7 mg/dL) or thyroid disorders (3.7 mg/dL). In addition, we found a correlation between glycemia and phosphatemia in patients with diabetes. However, despite the potential relevance of monitoring phosphate homeostasis and the underlying etiologic mechanisms, renal phosphate losses were estimated in less than 5% of patients with hypophosphatemia. In the pediatric age group, malignancies, hypovitaminosis D, and endocrine disorders, mostly diabetes, were the most common causes of hypophosphatemia. This real-world study also shows that hypophosphatemia is frequently neglected and inadequately evaluated by pediatricians, which emphasizes the need for more education and awareness about this condition to prevent its potentially deleterious consequences.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a complex and multifactorial disease, and one of the most prevalent worldwide. Chronic kidney disease–mineral bone disorders (CKD–MBD) with biochemical and hormonal alterations are part of the complications associated with the progression of CKD. Pathophysiology of CKD–MBD focused on abnormalities in serum levels of several biomarkers (such as FGF-23, klotho, phosphate, calcium, vitamin D, and PTH) which are discussed in this review. We therefore examine the prognostic association between CKD–MBD and the increased risk for cardiovascular events, mortality, and CKD progression to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Lastly, we present specific treatments acting on CKD to prevent and treat the complications associated with secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT): control of hyperphosphatemia (with dietary restriction, intestinal phosphate binders, and adequate dialysis), the use of calcimimetic agents, vitamin D, and analogues, and the use of bisphosphonates or denosumab in patients with osteoporosis.

Abstract
Myocardial relaxation in late systole is enhanced by increasing velocities of lengthening. Given that inorganic phosphate (Pi) can rebind to the force-producing myosin enzyme prior to MgADP release and hasten crossbridge detachment, we hypothesized that myocardial relaxation in late systole would be further enhanced by lengthening in the presence of Pi. Wistar rat left ventricular papillary muscles were attached to platinum clips, placed between a force transducer and a length motor at room temperature, and bathed in Krebs solution with 1.8 mM Ca2+ and varying Pi of 0, 1, 2, and 5 mM. Tension transients were elicited by electrical stimulation at 1 Hz. Peak tension was significantly enhanced by Pi: 0.593 ± 0.088 mN mm−2 at 0 mM Pi and 0.817 ± 0.159 mN mm−2 at 5 mM Pi (mean ± SEM, p < 0.01 by ANCOVA). All temporal characteristics of the force transient were significantly shortened with increasing Pi, e.g., time-to-50% recovery was shortened from 305 ± 14 ms at 0 mM Pi to 256 ± 10 ms at 5 mM Pi (p < 0.01). A 1% lengthening stretch with varying duration of 10–200 ms was applied at time-to-50% recovery during the descending phase of the force transient. Matching lengthening stretches were also applied when the muscle was not stimulated, thus providing a control for the passive viscoelastic response. After subtracting the passive from the active force response, the resulting myofilament response demonstrated features of faster myofilament relaxation in response to the stretch. For example, time-to-70% relaxation with 100 ms lengthening duration was shortened by 8.8 ± 6.8 ms at 0 Pi, 19.6 ± 4.8* ms at 1 mM Pi, 31.0 ± 5.6* ms at 2 Pi, and 25.6 ± 5.3* ms at 5 mM Pi (*p < 0.01 compared to no change). Using skinned myocardium, half maximally calcium-activated myofilaments underwent a 1% quick stretch, and the tension response was subjected to analysis for sensitivity of myosin detachment rate to stretch, g1, at various Pi concentrations. The parameter g1 was enhanced from 15.39 ± 0.35 at 0 Pi to 22.74 ± 1.31 s−1/nm at 8 Pi (p < 0.01). Our findings suggest that increasing Pi at the myofilaments enhances lengthening-induced relaxation by elevating the sensitivity of myosin crossbridge detachment due to lengthening and thus speed the transition from late-systole to early-diastole.

Abstract
It is well recognized that redox imbalance, nitric oxide (NO), and vitamin D deficiencies increase risk of cardiovascular, metabolic, and infectious diseases. However, clinical studies assessing efficacy of NO and vitamin D supplementation have failed to produce unambiguous efficacy outcomes suggesting that the understanding of the pharmacologies involved is incomplete. This raises the need for using systems pharmacology tools to better understand cause-effect relationships at biological systems levels. We describe the use of spectral clustering methodology to analyze protein network interactions affected by a complex nutraceutical, Cardio Miracle (CM), that contains arginine, citrulline, vitamin D, and antioxidants. This examination revealed that interactions between protein networks affected by these substances modulate functions of a network of protein complexes regulating caveolae-mediated endocytosis (CME), TGF beta activity, vitamin D efficacy and host defense systems. Identification of this regulatory scheme and the working of embedded reciprocal feedback loops has significant implications for treatment of vitamin D deficiencies, atherosclerosis, metabolic and infectious diseases such as COVID-19.

Abstract
Phosphate homeostasis is dependent on the interaction and coordination of four main organ systems: thyroid/parathyroids, gastrointestinal tract, bone and kidneys, and three key hormonal regulators, 1,25-hydroxyvitamin D3, parathyroid hormone and FGF23 with its co- factor klotho. Phosphorus is a critical nutritional element for normal cellular function, but in excess can be toxic to tissues, particularly the vasculature. As phosphate, it also has an important interaction and inter-dependence with calcium and calcium homeostasis sharing some of the same controlling hormones, although this is not covered in our article. We have chosen to provide a current overview of phosphate homeostasis only, focusing on the role of two major organ systems, the gastrointestinal tract and kidneys, and their contribution to the control of phosphate balance. We describe in some detail the mechanisms of intestinal and renal phosphate transport, and compare and contrast their regulation. We also consider a significant example of phosphate imbalance, with phosphate retention, which is chronic kidney disease; why consequent hyperphosphatemia is important, and some of the newer means of managing it.

Abstract
Military training increases tibial density and size, but it is unknown if men and women adapt similarly to the same arduous training. Seventy-seven men and 57 women not using hormonal contraceptives completed this study. Tibial volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) and geometry were measured by peripheral quantitative computed tomography (4%, 14%, 38%, and 66% sites) at the start (week 1) and end (week 14) of British Army basic training. Training increased trabecular vBMD (4% site in men; 4% and 14% sites in women), cortical vBMD (38% site), total area (14% and 38% sites), trabecular area (14% site), cortical area and thickness (14%, 38%, and 66% sites), periosteal perimeter (14%, 38%, and 66% sites), and all indices of estimated strength (14%, 38%, and 66% sites); and, decreased endosteal perimeter (66% site) in men and women (all p ≤ 0.045). The increase in trabecular vBMD (4% and 14% sites) was greater in women and the increases in cortical area and strength (38% site) were greater in men (sex × time interactions, all p ≤ 0.047). P1NP increased and βCTX and sclerostin decreased during training in men and women, consistent with adaptive bone formation. PTH decreased in men but increased in women. Arduous weight-bearing activity increased the density and size of the tibia after 14 weeks. Women experienced similar tibial adaptations as men, however, a greater increase in trabecular vBMD in women compared with men could be due to higher loading at this skeletal site in women, whereas the small increase in cortical area could be due to inhibitory effects of oestradiol.

Lower Risk of Cardiovascular Events in Adult Patients with Chronic Hypoparathyroidism Treated with rhPTH(1-84): A Retrospective Cohort Study. Adv Ther 2022; 39:3845-3856. [PMID: 35696069 PMCID: PMC9309129 DOI: 10.1007/s12325-022-02198-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2022] [Accepted: 05/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Introduction Patients with chronic hypoparathyroidism are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease. This study evaluated the risk of developing cardiovascular conditions over a period of 5 years in adult patients with chronic hypoparathyroidism treated with recombinant human parathyroid hormone (1–84), rhPTH(1–84), compared with a historical control cohort of patients not treated with rhPTH(1–84). Methods This retrospective cohort study comprised patients with chronic hypoparathyroidism treated with rhPTH(1–84) in the REPLACE (NCT00732615), RELAY (NCT01268098), and RACE (NCT01297309) clinical trials, and controls selected from the IBM® Explorys electronic medical record database (January 2007–August 2019) who did not receive parathyroid hormone but who had enrollment criteria similar to those for the clinical trials. Cardiovascular outcomes were the first diagnosis of cerebrovascular, coronary artery, peripheral vascular disease, or heart failure during the study period. Results We evaluated 113 adult patients with chronic hypoparathyroidism treated with rhPTH(1–84) and 618 control patients who did not receive rhPTH(1–84). Over the 5-year follow-up period, 3.5% of patients (n = 4) in the rhPTH(1–84) cohort had a cardiovascular event compared with 16.3% (n = 101) in the control cohort. Kaplan–Meier analysis demonstrated that patients in the rhPTH(1–84) cohort had lower risk of experiencing a cardiovascular event compared with patients in the control cohort (P = 0.005). Multivariable analyses adjusted for baseline variables showed that patients in the rhPTH(1–84) cohort had 75% lower risk for a cardiovascular event compared with patients in the control cohort (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.25 [95% CI 0.08–0.81]; P = 0.020). Conclusion Long-term treatment with rhPTH(1–84) was associated with a lower risk of incident cardiovascular conditions compared with conventional therapy in patients with chronic hypoparathyroidism. Previous studies demonstrated that mineral homeostasis was maintained with lower use of calcium and active vitamin D when rhPTH(1–84) was added to conventional therapy. Future studies are needed to understand whether improved regulation of mineral homeostasis conferred by rhPTH(1–84) may provide long-term cardiovascular benefits to patients with chronic hypoparathyroidism.

X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets: Description of seven new variants in patients followed up in reference hospitals in Rio de Janeiro. Mol Genet Genomic Med 2022; 10:e1941. [PMID: 35384411 PMCID: PMC9184672 DOI: 10.1002/mgg3.1941] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2021] [Revised: 03/20/2022] [Accepted: 03/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background X‐linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLHR) is a rare genetic disease, often delayed in diagnosis due to the low degree of suspicion and limited access to sophisticated diagnostic tools that confirm the diagnosis, such as genetic testing. Methods Through a cross‐sectional and observational study, 26 patients with a previously presumptive diagnosis of X‐linked hypophosphatemic rickets (based on clinical history, laboratory findings, and physical examination), were followed for approximately 12 months. During 12 months of follow‐up, only 16 patients underwent genetic testing and enrolled in the study. Previous data were analyzed, such as clinical history (e.g., gender, current age, age of clinical diagnosis, age of admission to hospital, family history, and previous orthopedic surgery), physical exam, imaging tests (e.g., radiological changes) and laboratory tests (e.g., tubular maximum reabsorption rate of phosphate to glomerular filtration rate, alkaline phosphatase, and phosphate levels) at the time of the patient’s admission to IEDE and UFRJ, to corroborate and substantiate our research. These data were extracted from the medical records of the patients. Results Among the 16 patients analyzed by molecular biology techniques, the new generation sequencing (NGS), using DNA samples from oral swabs, we obtained seven variants never previously described, which were verified by Sanger sequencing. Among the seven variants never previously described, the most common coding impact was the nonsense mutation. We found two frameshift, one intronic splicing variant, three nonsense, and one deletion splice junction loss. Among patients with new mutations who presented data in the medical record, 100% showed a reduction in TmP/GFR (average of 1.98 mg/dl), the most sensitive laboratory parameter at the time of diagnosis, as well as serum phosphorus (100% had hypophosphatemia on arrival at the referral hospitals––average of 2.4 mg/dl and median 2.3 mg/dl). We also performed NGS on three mothers of the patients with identified mutations. Among these mothers, only one tested negative for the mutation and no family history was reported as well. This mother had serum phosphate of 3.5 mg/dl (normal range: 2.5–4.5 mg/dl) at the time of genetic test collection. The others had a positive test, low serum phosphorus at the time of the molecular test, in addition to a positive family history. Conclusion This study describes seven new variants in the PHEX gene and aims to increase the knowledge of the scientific community about the types of mutations involving this gene, increasing information on the genetic basis of this condition, enabling future considerations about genotype–phenotype correlation, in addition to diagnosis accurate and early.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease–mineral and bone disorder (CKD–MBD) is a systemic disorder that affects multiple organs and systems and increases the risk of morbidity and mortality in patients with CKD, especially those receiving dialysis therapy. CKD–MBD is highly prevalent in CKD patients, and its treatment is gaining attention from healthcare providers who manage these patients. Additional important pathologies often observed in CKD patients are chronic inflammation and malnutrition/protein-energy wasting (PEW). These two pathologies coexist to form a vicious cycle that accelerates the progression of various other pathologies in CKD patients. This concept is integrated into the term “malnutrition–inflammation–atherosclerosis syndrome” or “malnutrition–inflammation complex syndrome (MICS)”. Recent basic and clinical studies have shown that CKD–MBD directly induces inflammation as well as malnutrition/PEW. Indeed, higher circulating levels of inorganic phosphate, fibroblast growth factor 23, parathyroid hormone, and calciprotein particles, as markers for critical components and effectors of CKD–MBD, were shown to directly induce inflammatory responses, thereby leading to malnutrition/PEW, cardiovascular diseases, and clinically relevant complications. In this short review, we discuss the close interplay between CKD–MBD and MICS and emphasize the significance of simultaneous control of these two seemingly distinct pathologies in patients with CKD, especially those receiving dialysis therapy, for better management of the CKD/hemodialysis population.

Abstract
The function of vitamin D in calcium homoeostasis in dairy cows, such as in other vertebrates, is known for many years. In recent years, new and interesting, non-classical functions of vitamin D have been elucidated, including effects on the immune system. The major aim of this review is to provide an overview of effects of vitamin D or its metabolites on the immune system in dairy cows. The first part of the review provides an overview of vitamin D metabolism, with particular reference to the role of various proteins (25- and 1-hydroxylases, vitamin D binding protein, vitamin D receptor) in vitamin D signalling. The second part deals with the role of the concentration of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] in plasma as an indicator of the vitamin D status in dairy cows, and its dependence on sunlight exposure and dietary vitamin D supplementation. In this part also the "free hormone hypothesis" is discussed, indicating that the concentration of free 25(OH)D might be a more valid indicator of the vitamin D status than the concentration of total 25(OH)D. The third part deals with classical and the non-classical functions of vitamin D. Among the non-classical functions which are based on an autocrine vitamin D signalling, particular reference is given to the effects of vitamin D and vitamin D metabolites on the immune system in bovine immune cells and in dairy cows. Recent findings provide some indication that vitamin D or its metabolite 25(OH)D could enhance the immune function in dairy cows and be useful for the prevention and therapy of mastitis. However, the number of studies reported so far in this respect is very limited. Thus, much more research is required to yield clear concepts for an optimised usage of vitamin D to improve the immune system and prevent infectious diseases in dairy cows.

Abstract
NaPi2b is primarily expressed in the small intestine, lungs, and testes and plays an important role in phosphate homeostasis. The inhibition of NaPi2b, responsible for intestinal phosphate absorption, is considered to reduce serum phosphate levels, making it a promising therapeutic approach for hyperphosphatemia. Using a novel phosphate uptake inhibitor 3 (IC50 = 87 nM), identified from an in-house compound collection in human NaPi2b-transfected cells as a prototype compound, we conducted its derivatization based on a Ro5-deviated strategy to develop orally administrable small-molecule NaPi2b inhibitors with nonsystemic exposure. Consequently, compound 15, a zwitterionic compound with a potent in vitro phosphate uptake inhibitory activity (IC50 = 64 nM) and a low membrane permeability (Pe < 0.025 × 10-6 cm/s), was developed. Compound 15 showed a low bioavailability (F = 0.1%) in rats and a reduction in phosphate absorption in the rat intestinal loop assay comparable to sevelamer hydrochloride, a clinically effective phosphate binder for treating hyperphosphatemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is a rare, acquired disease of renal phosphate wasting and disturbed vitamin D homeostasis as a result of the action of a phosphaturic protein - FGF-23, produced by a neoplasm. Although the clinical and biochemical profile of the syndrome is characteristic, it remains underreported and unrecognized by clinicians. Hyperparathyroidism is rarely associated with oncogenic osteomalacia, but it should be considered because of potentially life-threatening hypophosphatemia caused by both conditions. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of a 42-year-old woman admitted to the Department of Otolaryngology of the Military Institute of Medicine in Warsaw for the endoscopic resection of hormonally active glomangiopericytoma extending into the anterior skull base. She presented with a 5-year history of musculoskeletal pain and progressive weakness of the extremities which finally led her to become bedridden. After the excision of the tumor her symptoms and laboratory results gradually improved except increasing PTH serum levels. Further examination revealed a parathyroid proliferative tumor, which was surgically removed. The patient walked without aids at follow-up 16 months after the surgery. CONCLUSIONS This case is unusual because of tumor-induced osteomalacia and parathyroid adenoma occurring concomitantly. Further investigations of FGF-23 and PTH interplay should be conducted to elucidate the pathogenesis of hyperparathyroidism and tumorigenesis in some cases of TIO. By presenting this case, we wanted to remind clinicians of a rare and misdiagnosed paraneoplastic syndrome and highlight the importance of monitoring PTH concentrations during the follow-up of patients with TIO.

Abstract
A 7-month-old male infant was referred to us for evaluation of hypercalcemia and failure to thrive. He was the second-born child to third-degree consanguineous parents with a birth weight of 3.5 kg. The index child was severely underweight. Initial laboratory investigations showed hypercalcemia (13.6 mg/dL), hypophosphatemia, hyponatremia, hypokalemia and hypochloremia. The initial serum bicarbonate level was 20.9 mEq/L. The urine calcium: creatinine ratio (0.05) was normal. He was noted to have polyuria (6 mL/kg/hr) and required intravenous fluids to maintain intravascular volume and manage hypercalcemia, along with potassium chloride supplements. The serum calcium decreased to 9.7 mg/dL after hydration for 48 h. At this juncture, the child was noted to exhibit metabolic acidosis (serum bicarbonate 16 mEq/L) for the first time. Thereafter, fractional excretion of bicarbonate was estimated to be 16.5% while the tubular threshold maximum for phosphorus per glomerular filtration rate was 1.2 mg/dL; indicating bicarbonaturia and phosphaturia, respectively. Glycosuria with aminoaciduria were also noted. Clinical exome sequencing revealed a NM_004937.3:c.809_811del in exon 10 of the CTNS gene that resulted in in-frame deletion of amino acids [NP_004928.2:p.Ser270del] at the protein level. The child is now growing well on oral potassium citrate, neutral phosphate and sodium bicarbonate supplements. This case was notable for absence of metabolic acidosis at admission. Instead, severe hypercalcemia was a striking presenting manifestation, that has not been reported previously in literature. Cystinosis has been earlier described in association with metabolic acidosis, hypocalcemia and hypomagnesemia. However, typical features like metabolic acidosis were masked in early stages of the disease in our case posing a diagnostic challenge. This atypical initial presentation adds to the constellation of clinical features in this condition.

Abstract
Denosumab, a receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand (RANK-L) monoclonal antibody used in osteoporosis and various malignancies, has been shown to cause hypocalcemia shortly after initiation of treatment. There have been few case reports of electrolyte abnormalities in patients managed with long-term treatment with this medication. This report presents the case of a 43-year-old male with metastatic prostate cancer who presented with severe hypophosphatemia and hypocalcemia, initially resistant to repletion. After more aggressive and persistent repletion with IV calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D, as well as time for the denosumab to dissipate, the patient’s electrolytes stabilized and he was able to be discharged with oral replacement and close follow-up. Therefore, long-term monitoring of electrolytes for patients on denosumab should be carefully considered.

Abstract
Lead is an occupational toxicant and a recognised health threat particularly in developing countries. Hence, this study explored the interaction of blood lead level (BLL), a conventional marker of lead exposure, with indices of calcium metabolism and biomarkers of bone-turnover in 120 adult male automobile technicians (AT) with ≥ 1 year duration in professional practice. The AT as well as the control group, which comprised 120 age, body-size and socio-economically matched male administrative workers, were recruited from Sagamu, South West Nigeria. Levels of blood lead, serum indices of calcium metabolism [total calcium (tCa), ionised calcium (iCa), phosphate, albumin, magnesium (Mg) and 25-Hydroxycholecalceferol (25-OHCC)], biomarkers of bone formation [bone alkaline phosphatase (BALP) and osteocalcin (OC)] and biomarkers of bone resorption [tartarate-resistant acid phosphatase-5b (TACRP-5b) and urinary hydroxyproline (UHYP)] were determined in all participants. The BLL, 25-OHCC, TRACP-5b and UHYP significantly increased while tCa and iCa significantly reduced in AT compared to control. However, no significant difference was observed in phosphate, albumin, Mg, BALP and OC in AT compared to control. Interestingly, BLL demonstrated a significant negative association with tCa and iCa but a significant positive association with 25-OHCC, TRACP-5b and UHYP. However, BLL did not show significant association with phosphate, albumin, Mg, BALP and OC. Increased lead exposure as well as altered calcium metabolism and bone-turnover demonstrated by the automobile technicians may be suggestive of lead-induced accelerated bone demineralisation. These workers may be predisposed to high risk of increased susceptibility to bone diseases if this sub-clinical picture is sustained.

Abstract
Simple Summary The increase in phosphate prices has inflated the cost for poultry feeding. Dicalcium phosphate is an essential mineral involved in the metabolism and development and is commonly used as a dietary source of phosphorus (PT) for poultry. The use of nanoparticles of dicalcium phosphate (NDP) could increase the bioavailability of PT in the diet. The sizes of the nanoparticles formed were 20 and 80 nm. NDP had the Ca:P ratio 1:1.12. The digestibility of PT in birds improved by 67% in the treatment with 0.35% available P (Pa) of NDP. The highest contents of PT -breast were found with the levels of 0.35 and 0.46% Pa of NDP. In conclusion, the use of NDP as an ingredient for broilers was efficient with a Pa dose at 0.35%. This dose was ideal in chicks for digestibility and absorption values. Additionally, results showed an improvement in the amount of PT in breast. Abstract Dicalcium phosphate (DP) is a mineral involved in the metabolism and development and is used as a dietary source of phosphorus (PT) for poultry. Our study objective is to design nano-dicalcium phosphate (NDP) by co-precipitation. The methodological procedure was divided into two phases: (1) NDP synthesis, and (2) bird performance, digestibility, and Ca-P in chick’s tissues. The sizes of the NDP were 20–80 nm. NDP had the Ca: P ratio of 1:1.12. The birds were divided into control diet (available P (Pa) = 0.13%) and three supplementary P sources [Commercial (Calcium phosphate), analytical grade (DP) and nanoparticles (NDP)] with three Pa levels (0.24, 0.35, 0.46%). Supplementary P sources compared to the control treatment had the highest body weight gain (698.56 vs. 228; p < 0.05) and feed intake (FI) (965.18 vs. 345.82), respectively. The digestibility of PT (67%) improved with 0.35% NDP. The highest contents of PT -breast were with the levels of 0.35 and 0.46% NDP. The PT, ash, and diameters were higher (p < 0.05) with supplementary P compared to the control treatment. As conclusion, the use of 0.35% NDP was the ideal dose in the chicks for the digestibility, absorption values, and the amount of PT in the breast.

Hydrogen Peroxide Generation as an Underlying Response to High Extracellular Inorganic Phosphate (Pi) in Breast Cancer Cells. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms221810096.

Abstract
According to the growth rate hypothesis (GRH), tumour cells have high inorganic phosphate (Pi) demands due to accelerated proliferation. Compared to healthy individuals, cancer patients present with a nearly 2.5-fold higher Pi serum concentration. In this work, we show that an increasing concentration of Pi had the opposite effect on Pi-transporters only in MDA-MB-231 when compared to other breast cell lines: MCF-7 or MCF10-A (non-tumoural breast cell line). Here, we show for the first time that high extracellular Pi concentration mediates ROS production in TNBC (MDA-MB-231). After a short-time exposure (1 h), Pi hyperpolarizes the mitochondrial membrane, increases mitochondrial ROS generation, impairs oxygen (O2) consumption and increases PKC activity. However, after 24 h Pi-exposure, the source of H2O2 seems to shift from mitochondria to an NADPH oxidase enzyme (NOX), through activation of PKC by H2O2. Exogenous-added H2O2 modulated Pi-transporters the same way as extracellular high Pi, which could be reversed by the addition of the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC). NAC was also able to abolish Pi-induced Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), migration and adhesion of MDA-MB-231. We believe that Pi transporters support part of the energy required for the metastatic processes stimulated by Pi and trigger Pi-induced H2O2 production as a signalling response to promote cell migration and adhesion.

Abstract
PURPOSE Primary aldosteronism (PA) remains, to a large extent, an under-diagnosed disease. We aimed to develop and validate a novel clinical nomogram to predict PA based on routine biochemical variables including new ones, calcium-phosphorus product. METHODS Records from 806 patients with hypertension were randomly divided into 70% (n = 564) as the training set and the remaining 30% (n = 242) as the validation set. Predictors for PA were extracted to construct a nomogram model based on regression analysis of the training set. An internal validation was performed to assess the nomogram model's discrimination and consistency using the area under the curve for receiver operating characteristic curves and calibration plots. The diagnostic accuracy was compared between nomogram and other known prediction models, using receiver operating characteristics (ROC) and decision curve analyses (DCA). RESULTS Female gender, serum potassium, serum calcium-phosphorus product, and urine pH were adopted as predictors in the nomogram. The nomogram resulted in an area under the curve of 0.73 (95% confidence interval: 0.68-0.78) in the training set and an area under the curve of 0.68 (0.59-0.75) in the validation set. Predicted probability and actual probability matched well in the nomogram (p > 0.05). Based on ROC and DCA, 21-70% threshold to predict PA in the nomogram model was clinically useful. CONCLUSIONS We have developed a novel nomogram to predict PA in hypertensive individuals based on routine biochemical variables. External validation is needed to further demonstrate its predictive ability in primary care settings.

Abstract
Inorganic phosphate (Pi) is an essential nutrient for living organisms and is maintained in equilibrium in the range of 0.8-1.4 mM Pi. Pi is a source of organic constituents for DNA, RNA, and phospholipids and is essential for ATP formation mainly through energy metabolism or cellular signalling modulators. In mitochondria isolated from the brain, liver, and heart, Pi has been shown to induce mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) release. Therefore, the purpose of this review article was to gather relevant experimental records of the production of Pi-induced reactive species, mainly ROS, to examine their essential roles in physiological processes, such as the development of bone and cartilage and the development of diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, muscle atrophy, and male reproductive system impairment. Interestingly, in the presence of different antioxidants or inhibitors of cytoplasmic and mitochondrial Pi transporters, Pi-induced ROS production can be reversed and may be a possible pharmacological target.

Abstract
CONTEXT Alfacalcidol and calcitriol are commonly used for managing hypoparathyroidism. Their relative merits have not been systematically assessed. OBJECTIVE We compared the effect of alfacalcidol and calcitriol on phosphatemic control, hypercalciuria, and associated factors in idiopathic-hypoparathyroidism (IH). DESIGN AND SETTING Open-label randomized controlled trial, tertiary care center. SUBJECTS AND METHODS IH patients with optimal calcemic control on alfacalcidol were continued on the same (n = 20) or switched to calcitriol (n = 25) at half of the ongoing alfacalcidol dose. The dose was adjusted during follow-up to maintain serum total calcium between 8.0 and 9.5 mg/dL. Serum calcium, phosphorus, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, 24-h urine calcium-to-creatinine ratio, and fractional excretion of phosphorus (FEPh) were measured at baseline and 6 months. Plasma intact-FGF23 was measured at final follow-up. RESULT Patients receiving alfacalcidol and calcitriol had comparable serum calcium at 6 months (8.7 ± 0.4 vs 8.9 ± 0.4 mg/dL, P = 0.13). Their median [interquartile range (IQR)] dose at 6 months was 2.0 (1.0-2.5) and 0.75 (0.5-1.0) µg/d, respectively. Serum 1,25(OH)2D levels were physiological in both (35.3 ± 11.6 and 32.3 ± 16.9 pg/mL). Serum phosphate and calcium excretion were comparable in 2 arms. A majority had hyperphosphatemia (75% vs 76%), hypercalciuria (75% vs 72%), and elevated FGF23 (116 ± 68 and 113 ± 57 pg/mL). Age showed significant independent association with plasma FGF23 (β = 1.9, P = 0.001). Average FEPh was low despite high FGF23. CONCLUSION At optimal calcium control, both alfacalcidol and calcitriol lead to comparable but high serum phosphate levels, hypercalciuria, physiological circulating 1,25(OH)2D, and elevated FGF23. Further studies are required to systematically investigate other treatment options.

Abstract
A series of problems including osteopathy, abnormal serum data, and vascular calcification associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are now collectively called CKD-mineral bone disease (CKD-MBD). The pathophysiology of CKD-MBD is becoming clear with the emerging of αKlotho, originally identified as a progeria-causing protein, and bone-derived phosphaturic fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) as associated factors. Meanwhile, compared with calcium and parathyroid hormone, which have long been linked with CKD-MBD, phosphate is now attracting more attention because of its association with complications and outcomes. Incidentally, as the pivotal roles of FGF23 and αKlotho in phosphate metabolism have been unveiled, how phosphate metabolism and hyperphosphatemia are involved in CKD-MBD and how they can be clinically treated have become of great interest. Thus, the aim of this review is reconsider CKD-MBD from the viewpoint of phosphorus, its involvement in the pathophysiology, causing complications, therapeutic approach based on the clinical evidence, and clarifying the importance of phosphorus management.

The effect of vitamin D supplementation on fibroblast growth factor-23 in patients with chronic kidney disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Phytother Res 2021; 35:5339-5351. [PMID: 33928687 DOI: 10.1002/ptr.7139] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2020] [Revised: 03/30/2021] [Accepted: 04/10/2021] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
This is a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the effects of oral vitamin D supplementation on serum fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) concentrations in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Manuscripts were extracted from PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and ISI Web of Science through February 2020. Subgroup analyses, sensitivity analysis, and meta-regression assessments were performed. A total of eight clinical trials with nine treatment arms were included in the final analysis. The pooled results showed no significant changes in circulating FGF23 following vitamin D supplementation compared to the control group (Standardized mean difference (SMD): 0.24; 95% confidence intervals (CIs): -0.03 to 0.50, p > 0.05). Subgroup analyses found that studies which had participants with a body mass index (BMI) higher than 25 kg/m2 , with an intervention duration shorter than 15 weeks, using phosphate binder medications, and trials that were on both patients with CKD undergoing hemodialysis and patients without hemodialysis treatment produced significant increases in FGF23 when concentration compared with the control group. This meta-analysis provides evidence that vitamin D supplementation does not have a significant effect on plasma FGF23 levels. However, further high-quality trials are required to identify the influence of oral vitamin D supplementation on FGF23 levels in patients with CKD.

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.

Abstract
Vitamin K (VK) and vitamin D (VD) deficiency/insufficiency is a common feature of chronic kidney disease (CKD), leading to impaired bone quality and a higher risk of fractures. CKD patients, with disturbances in VK and VD metabolism, do not have sufficient levels of these vitamins for maintaining normal bone formation and mineralization. So far, there has been no consensus on what serum VK and VD levels can be considered sufficient in this particular population. Moreover, there are no clear guidelines how supplementation of these vitamins should be carried out in the course of CKD. Based on the existing results of preclinical studies and clinical evidence, this review intends to discuss the effect of VK and VD on bone remodeling in CKD. Although the mechanisms of action and the effects of these vitamins on bone are distinct, we try to find evidence for synergy between them in relation to bone metabolism, to answer the question of whether combined supplementation of VK and VD will be more beneficial for bone health in the CKD population than administering each of these vitamins separately.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) is an independent monitor of the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in human medicine, and FGF-23 may have value as a biomarker in feline CKD. We evaluated the relationship between serum FGF-23 and CKD stages, and the effect of age on FGF-23 in normal cats. We measured FGF-23 and intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) concentrations by ELISA, with intra- and inter-assay CVs ≤ 15%. The percentage recovery of FGF-23 and iPTH remained stable for up to 7 d in samples stored at -20°C and -80°C. We measured FGF-23 in 304 cats, among which 196 were diagnosed with CKD. The 108 clinically healthy cats were divided into 5 subgroups based on growth stage (0-2 y, 3-6 y, 7-10 y, 11-14 y, ≥ 15 y). No statistical difference was found in FGF-23 among age groups (p = 0.15) or by sex in healthy subjects. Using the International Renal Interest Society guideline, 34 cats were defined as CKD stage 1, 74 stage 2, 51 stage 3, and 37 stage 4. FGF-23 was higher in cats in all CKD stages than in controls. Higher serum phosphorus was observed in stage 3 (p = 0.04) and 4 (p < 0.01) compared to controls. iPTH increased as CKD progressed. Pearson analysis indicated a positive linear relationship between FGF-23 and iPTH (control: r = 0.70, p < 0.01; CKD: r = 0.46, p = 0.02). FGF-23 may be a useful biomarker of feline CKD and may precede hyperphosphatemia in advanced feline CKD.

Widespread disturbance in extracellular matrix collagen biomarker responses to teriparatide therapy in osteogenesis imperfecta. Bone 2021; 142:115703. [PMID: 33099032 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2020.115703] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2020] [Revised: 10/05/2020] [Accepted: 10/18/2020] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a heritable disorder caused by abnormalities in synthesis or processing of type I collagen, is characterized by skeletal fragility. Type I collagen interacts with multiple components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) including other collagens types. Thus, alterations in structure or quantity may broadly affect ECM homeostasis. In fact, while OI is clinically categorized by severity of bone disease, patients can also present with extra-skeletal manifestations, including the pulmonary, muscle and cardiovascular systems. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is a regulator of skeletal homeostasis but the receptor for PTH/PTH1R is expressed in a variety of other tissues. Given interactions between type I collagen with other collagens in the ECM and the potential for PTH action on tissues beyond the skeleton, we explored whether serum levels of non-type I collagens are altered in response to teriparatide (human parathyroid hormone 1-34). We measured biomarkers of collagens II, III, IV, V, and VI in serum from individuals with type I and types III/IV OI in response to an 18 month course of teriparatide or placebo. These results were compared to similar biomarker measures in postmenopausal (PM) women without OI treated with teriparatide. In type I OI, teriparatide therapy increased concentrations of biomarkers of collagens II, III, IV, V, and VI. In individuals with types III/IV OI these biomarker changes in response to teriparatide were blunted, as we previously reported with collagen I biomarkers during teriparatide therapy. In contrast to OI, in PM women there were no effects of teriparatide on the collagen biomarkers we assessed (II, V, and VI). These findings suggest that in OI teriparatide therapy has abnormal effects on the homeostasis of many ECM collagens likely derived from skeletal as well as extra-skeletal tissues.

Abstract
Regulation of the serum calcium level in humans is achieved by the endocrine action of parathyroid glands working in concert with vitamin D and a set of critical target cells and tissues including osteoblasts, osteoclasts, the renal tubules, and the small intestine. The parathyroid glands, small highly vascularized endocrine organs located behind the thyroid gland, secrete parathyroid hormone (PTH) into the systemic circulation as is needed to keep the serum free calcium concentration within a tight physiologic range. Primary hyperparathyroidism (HPT), a disorder of mineral metabolism usually associated with abnormally elevated serum calcium, results from the uncontrolled release of PTH from one or several abnormal parathyroid glands. Although in the vast majority of cases HPT is a sporadic disease, it can also present as a manifestation of a familial syndrome. Many benign and malignant sporadic parathyroid neoplasms are caused by loss-of-function mutations in tumor suppressor genes that were initially identified by the study of genomic DNA from patients who developed HPT as a manifestation of an inherited syndrome. Somatic and inherited mutations in certain proto-oncogenes can also result in the development of parathyroid tumors. The clinical and genetic investigation of familial HPT in kindreds found to lack germline variants in the already known HPT-predisposition genes represents a promising future direction for the discovery of novel genes relevant to parathyroid tumor development.

The Roles of Sodium-Independent Inorganic Phosphate Transporters in Inorganic Phosphate Homeostasis and in Cancer and Other Diseases. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21239298.

Abstract
Inorganic phosphate (Pi) is an essential nutrient for the maintenance of cells. In healthy mammals, extracellular Pi is maintained within a narrow concentration range of 0.70 to 1.55 mM. Mammalian cells depend on Na+/Pi cotransporters for Pi absorption, which have been well studied. However, a new type of sodium-independent Pi transporter has been identified. This transporter assists in the absorption of Pi by intestinal cells and renal proximal tubule cells and in the reabsorption of Pi by osteoclasts and capillaries of the blood–brain barrier (BBB). Hyperphosphatemia is a risk factor for mineral deposition, the development of diseases such as osteoarthritis, and vascular calcifications (VCs). Na+-independent Pi transporters have been identified and biochemically characterized in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), chondrocytes, and matrix vesicles, and their involvement in mineral deposition in the extracellular microenvironment has been suggested. According to the growth rate hypothesis, cancer cells require more phosphate than healthy cells due to their rapid growth rates. Recently, it was demonstrated that breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231) respond to high Pi concentration (2 mM) by decreasing Na+-dependent Pi transport activity concomitant with an increase in Na+-independent (H+-dependent) Pi transport. This Pi H+-dependent transport has a fundamental role in the proliferation and migratory capacity of MDA-MB-231 cells. The purpose of this review is to discuss experimental findings regarding Na+-independent inorganic phosphate transporters and summarize their roles in Pi homeostasis, cancers and other diseases, such as osteoarthritis, and in processes such as VC.

Abstract
Dogs and cats have differences in vitamin D metabolism compared to other mammalian species, as they are unable to perform vitamin D cutaneous synthesis through sun exposure. Therefore, they are dependent on the dietary intake of this nutrient. The classic functions of vitamin D are to stimulate intestinal calcium and phosphate absorption, renal calcium and phosphate reabsorption and regulate bone mineral metabolism. Thus, it is an important nutrient for calcium and phosphorus homeostasis. This review highlights the evidence of the direct and indirect actions of vitamin D on bone mineral metabolism, the consequences of nutritional imbalances of this nutrient in small animals, as well as differences in vitamin D metabolism between different size dogs.
