Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) levels are often elevated in chronic kidney disease (CKD). FGF23 and inflammation are common characteristics in CKD, and both are associated with worse disease progression and the occurrence of complications. The existence of an interaction between FGF23 and inflammation has been suggested, each of which influences the expression and activity of the other, leading to a vicious feedback loop with adverse outcomes, including cardiovascular disease and mortality. In this work, we determined circulating FGF23 levels in a group of patients with CKD stages 3 and 4 subjected to elective femoral endarterectomy due to established peripheral artery disease (PAD), a condition resulting from an athero-inflammatory process, and we studied its associations with different inflammatory markers and mediators. We evaluated its association with serum tumor necrosis factor (TNF)α, interleukin (IL) 6, and IL10, as well as with the gene expression levels of these parameters and A disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein (ADAM) 17 in femoral vascular tissue and peripheral blood circulating cells (PBCCs). We also analyzed its association with serum concentrations of C-reactive protein (CRP), the systemic immune inflammation index (SII), and the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR). Finally, we determined the vascular immunoreactivity of protein TNFα in a subgroup of patients. FGF23 concentrations were independently associated with circulating and PBCC mRNA levels of TNFα. Worst kidney function and diabetes were also found to be contributing to FGF23 levels. Patients with higher levels of FGF23 also had greater vascular immunoreactivity for TNFα.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW Iron deficiency regulates the production of the bone-derived phosphaturic hormone fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) but also its cleavage, to generate both intact (iFGF23) and C-terminal (Cter)-FGF23 peptides. Novel studies demonstrate that independently of the phosphaturic effects of iFGF23, Cter-FGF23 peptides play an important role in the regulation of systemic iron homeostasis. This review describes the complex interplay between iron metabolism and FGF23 biology. RECENT FINDINGS C-terminal (Cter) FGF23 peptides antagonize inflammation-induced hypoferremia to maintain a pool of bioavailable iron in the circulation. A key mechanism proposed is the down-regulation of the iron-regulating hormone hepcidin by Cter-FGF23. SUMMARY In this manuscript, we discuss how FGF23 is produced and cleaved in response to iron deficiency, and the principal functions of cleaved C-terminal FGF23 peptides. We also review possible implications anemia of chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Abstract
Hypertensive nephropathy (HTN) is the second leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and a chronic inflammatory disease. Persistent hypertension leads to lesions of intrarenal arterioles and arterioles, luminal stenosis, secondary ischemic renal parenchymal damage, and glomerulosclerosis, tubular atrophy, and interstitial fibrosis. Studying the pathogenesis of hypertensive nephropathy is a prerequisite for diagnosis and treatment. The main cause of HTN is poor long-term blood pressure control, but kidney damage is often accompanied by the occurrence of immune inflammation. Some studies have found that the activation of innate immunity, inflammation and acquired immunity is closely related to the pathogenesis of HTN, which can cause damage and dysfunction of target organs. There are more articles on the mechanism of diabetic nephropathy, while there are fewer studies related to immunity in hypertensive nephropathy. This article reviews the mechanisms by which several different immune cells and inflammatory cytokines regulate blood pressure and renal damage in HTN. It mainly focuses on immune cells, cytokines, and chemokines and inhibitors. However, further comprehensive and large-scale studies are needed to determine the role of these markers and provide effective protocols for clinical intervention and treatment.

Abstract
Purpose of review: Mineral and bone disorder (MBD) is a prevalent complication in chronic kidney disease (CKD), significantly impacting overall health with multifaceted implications including fractures, cardiovascular events, and mortality. Despite its pervasive nature, effective treatments for CKD-MBD are lacking, emphasizing the urgency to advance understanding and therapeutic interventions. Bone metabolism intricacies, influenced by factors like 1,25 dihydroxy vitamin D, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), along with intrinsic osseous mechanisms, play pivotal roles in CKD. Skeletal abnormalities precede hormonal changes, persisting even with normalized systemic mineral parameters, necessitating a comprehensive approach to address both aspects. Recent findings: In this review, we explore novel pathways involved in the regulation of systemic mineral bone disease factors, specifically examining anemia, inflammation, and metabolic pathways. Special emphasis is placed on internal bone mechanisms, such as hepatocyte nuclear factor 4α, transforming growth factor-β1, and sclerostin, which play crucial roles in the progression of renal osteodystrophy. Summary: Despite advancements, effective treatments addressing CKD-MBD morbidity and mortality are lacking, necessitating ongoing research for novel therapeutic targets.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Patients with AKI suffer a staggering mortality rate of approximately 30%. Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) and phosphate (P i ) rise rapidly after the onset of AKI and have both been independently associated with ensuing morbidity and mortality. This study demonstrates that dietary P i restriction markedly diminished the early rise in plasma FGF23 and prevented the rise in plasma P i , parathyroid hormone, and calcitriol in mice with folic acid-induced AKI (FA-AKI). Furthermore, the study provides evidence for P i -sensitive osseous Fgf23 mRNA expression and reveals that P i restriction mitigated calciprotein particles (CPPs) formation, inflammation, acidosis, cardiac electrical disturbances, and mortality in mice with FA-AKI. These findings suggest that P i restriction may have a prophylactic potential in patients at risk for AKI. BACKGROUND In AKI, plasma FGF23 and P i rise rapidly and are independently associated with disease severity and outcome. METHODS The effects of normal (NP) and low (LP) dietary P i were investigated in mice with FA-AKI after 3, 24, and 48 hours and 14 days. RESULTS After 24 hours of AKI, the LP diet curbed the rise in plasma FGF23 and prevented that of parathyroid hormone and calcitriol as well as of osseous but not splenic or thymic Fgf23 mRNA expression. The absence of Pth prevented the rise in calcitriol and reduced the elevation of FGF23 in FA-AKI with the NP diet. Furthermore, the LP diet attenuated the rise in renal and plasma IL-6 and mitigated the decline in renal α -Klotho. After 48 hours, the LP diet further dampened renal IL-6 expression and resulted in lower urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin. In addition, the LP diet prevented the increased formation of CPPs. Fourteen days after AKI induction, the LP diet group maintained less elevated plasma FGF23 levels and had greater survival than the NP diet group. This was associated with prevention of metabolic acidosis, hypocalcemia, hyperkalemia, and cardiac electrical disturbances. CONCLUSIONS This study reveals P i -sensitive FGF23 expression in the bone but not in the thymus or spleen in FA-AKI and demonstrates that P i restriction mitigates CPP formation, inflammation, acidosis, and mortality in this model. These results suggest that dietary P i restriction could have prophylactic potential in patients at risk for AKI.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Cardiomyopathy in chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a complex condition with multiple triggers and poor prognosis. This review provides an overview of recent advances in CKD-associated cardiomyopathy, with a focus on pathophysiology, newly discovered biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets. RECENT FINDINGS CKD is associated with a specific pattern of myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis, resulting in diastolic and systolic dysfunction, and often triggered by nonatherosclerotic processes. Novel biomarkers, including amino-terminal type III procollagen peptide (PIIINP), carboxy-terminal type I procollagen peptide (PICP), FGF23, marinobufagenin, and several miRNAs, show promise for early detection and risk stratification. Treatment options for CKD-associated cardiomyopathy are limited. Sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors have been shown to reduce left ventricle hypertrophy and improve ejection fraction in individuals with diabetes and mild CKD, and are currently under investigation for more advanced stages of CKD. In hemodialysis patients calcimimetic etelcalcetide resulted in a significant reduction in left ventricular mass. SUMMARY CKD-associated cardiomyopathy is a common and severe complication in CKD. The identification of novel biomarkers may lead to future therapeutic targets. Randomized clinical trials in individuals with more advanced CKD would be well posed to expand treatment options for this debilitating condition.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the relationship of four chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) biomarkers, including intact parathyroid hormone (PTH), fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), soluble klotho, and fetuin-A, with aortic stiffness in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients, comparing those with and without diabetes mellitus (DM). A total of 213 patients (mean age 58 ± 14 years; 81 (38.0%) patients with DM) were enrolled. Their aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) was measured using pressure applanation tonometry, while serum intact PTH, FGF23, α-klotho, and fetuin-A levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Overall, patients with DM had higher aortic PWV than those without (9.9 ± 1.8 vs. 8.6 ± 1.4 m/s, p < 0.001). Among the four CKD-MBD biomarkers, FGF23 levels were significantly lower in DM group (462 [127-1790] vs. 1237 [251-3120] pg/mL, p = 0.028) and log-FGF23 independently predicted aortic PWV in DM group (β: 0.61, 95% confidence interval: 0.06-1.16, p = 0.029 in DM group; β: 0.10, 95% confidence interval: - 0.24-0.45, p = 0.546 in nonDM group; interaction p = 0.016). In conclusion, the association between FGF23 and aortic PWV was significantly modified by DM status in PD patients.

Abstract
Phosphorus is an essential mineral that is, in the form of inorganic phosphate (Pi), required for building cell membranes, DNA and RNA molecules, energy metabolism, signal transduction and pH buffering. In bone, Pi is essential for bone stability in the form of apatite. Intestinal absorption of dietary Pi depends on its bioavailability and has two distinct modes of active transcellular and passive paracellular absorption. Active transport is transporter mediated and partly regulated, while passive absorption depends mostly on bioavailability. Renal excretion controls systemic Pi levels, depends on transporters in the proximal tubule and is highly regulated. Deposition and release of Pi into and from soft tissues and bone has to be tightly controlled. The endocrine network coordinating intestinal absorption, renal excretion and bone turnover integrates dietary intake and metabolic requirements with renal excretion and is critical for bone stability and cardiovascular health during states of hypophosphataemia or hyperphosphataemia as evident from inborn or acquired diseases. This review provides an integrated overview of the biology of phosphate and Pi in mammals.

Abstract
Folic acid (FA)-induced acute kidney injury (FA-AKI) is an increasingly prevalent rodent disease model involving the injection of a high dose of FA that culminates in renal FA crystal deposition and injury. However, the literature characterizing the FA-AKI model is sparse and dated in part due to the absence of a well-described methodology for the visualization and quantification of renal FA crystals. Using widely available materials and tools, we developed a straightforward and crystal-preserving histological protocol that can be coupled with automated imaging for renal FA crystal visualization and generated an automated macro for downstream crystal content quantification. The applicability of the method was demonstrated by characterizing the model in male and female C57BL6/JRj mice after 3 and 30 h of FA treatment. Kidneys from both sexes and timepoints showed a bimodal distribution of FA crystal deposition in the cortical and medullary regions while, compared with males, females exhibited higher renal FA crystal content at the 30-h timepoint accompanied by greater kidney weight and higher plasma urea. Despite comparable plasma phosphate concentrations, FA-AKI resulted in a substantially more elevated plasma intact fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) in females, reflected by a similar pattern in osseous Fgf23 mRNA expression. Therefore, the presented method constitutes a valuable tool for the quantification of renal FA crystals, which can aid the mechanistic characterization of the FA-AKI model and serves as a means to control for confounding changes in FA crystallization when using the model for investigating early and prophylactic AKI therapeutic interventions.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Here, we describe a novel method for the visualization and quantification of renal folic acid (FA) crystals in the rodent FA-induced acute kidney injury (FA-AKI) model. The protocol involves a straightforward histological approach followed by fully automated imaging and quantification steps. Applicability was confirmed by showing that the FA-AKI model is sex-dependent. The method can serve as a tool to aid in characterizing FA-AKI and to control for studies investigating prophylactic therapeutic avenues using FA-AKI.

We sought to understand the role of IL-10 in the cross-talk between these systems. Six-week-old IL-10 KO mice and their wild type (WT) counterparts were maintained on a standard rodent diet for 3 or 6 months. Gene expression of proinflammatory markers and Fgf23, serum 17β-estradiol (E2), and cardiac protein expression were assessed. Ileal Il17a and Tnf mRNA increased while Il6 mRNA increased in the bone and heart by at least 2-fold in IL-10 KO mice. Bone Dmp1 and Phex mRNA were repressed at 6 months in IL-10 KO mice, resulting in increased Fgf23 mRNA (~4-fold) that contributed to increased fibrosis. In the IL-10 KO mice, gut bacterial β-glucuronidase activity and ovarian Cyp19a1 mRNA were lower (p < 0.05), consistent with reduced serum E2 and reduced cardiac pNOS3 (Ser1119 ) in these mice. Treatment of ileal lymphocytes with E2 reduced gut inflammation in WT but not IL-10 KO mice. In conclusion, our data suggest that diminished estrogen and defective bone mineralization increased FGF23 which contributed to cardiac fibrosis in the IL-10 KO mouse.

Abstract
Inorganic phosphate (Pi) is an essential component of many biologically important molecules such as DNA, RNA, ATP, phospholipids, or apatite. It is required for intracellular phosphorylation signaling events and acts as pH buffer in intra- and extracellular compartments. Intestinal absorption, uptake into cells, and renal reabsorption depend on a set of different phosphate transporters from the SLC20 (PiT transporters) and SLC34 (NaPi transporters) gene families. The physiological relevance of these transporters is evident from rare monogenic disorders in humans affecting SLC20A2 (Fahr's disease, basal ganglia calcification), SLC34A1 (idiopathic infantile hypercalcemia), SLC34A2 (pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis), and SLC34A3 (hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets with hypercalciuria). SLC34 transporters are inhibited by millimolar concentrations of phosphonoformic acid or arsenate while SLC20 are relatively resistant to these compounds. More recently, a series of more specific and potent drugs have been developed to target SLC34A2 to reduce intestinal Pi absorption and to inhibit SLC34A1 and/or SLC34A3 to increase renal Pi excretion in patients with renal disease and incipient hyperphosphatemia. Also, SLC20 inhibitors have been developed with the same intention. Some of these substances are currently undergoing preclinical and clinical testing. Tenapanor, a non-absorbable Na+/H+-exchanger isoform 3 inhibitor, reduces intestinal Pi absorption likely by indirectly acting on the paracellular pathway for Pi and has been tested in several phase III trials for reducing Pi overload in patients with renal insufficiency and dialysis.

Abstract
Background Hyperphosphatemia is associated with increased mortality and cardiovascular morbidity of end-stage kidney failure (ESKF) patients. Managing serum phosphate in ESKF patients is challenging and mostly based on limiting intestinal phosphate absorption with low phosphate diets and phosphate binders (PB). In a multi-centric, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study cohort of maintenance hemodialysis patients with hyperphosphatemia, we demonstrated the efficacy of nicotinamide modified release (NAMR) formulation treatment in addition to standard PB therapy in decreasing serum phosphate. Here we aimed to assess the relationship between phosphate, FGF23, inflammation and iron metabolism in this cohort. Methods We measured the plasma concentrations of intact fibroblast growth factor 23 (iFGF23) and selected proinflammatory cytokines at baseline and Week 12 after initiating treatment. Results We observed a strong correlation between iFGF23 and cFGF23 (C-terminal fragment plus iFGF23). We identified iFGF23 as a better predictor of changes in serum phosphate induced by NAMR and PB treatment compared with cFGF23. Recursive partitioning revealed at baseline and Week 12, that iFGF23 and cFGF23 together with T50 propensity were the most important predictors of serum phosphate, whereas intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) played a minor role in this model. Furthermore, we found serum phosphate and iPTH as the best predictors of iFGF23 and cFGF23. Sex, age, body mass index, and markers of inflammation and iron metabolism had only a minor impact in predicting FGF23. Conclusion Lowering serum phosphate in ESKF patients may depend highly on iFGF23 which is correlated to cFGF23 levels. Serum phosphate was the most important predictor of plasma FGF23 in this ESKF cohort.

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

Abstract
We report an 11-year-old girl with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who showed hypophosphataemia (1.7 mg/dl, normal range: 3.9-5.8 mg/dl), a decrease in the tubular maximum reabsorption of phosphate/glomerular filtration rate (TmP/GFR) (0.77 mg/dl, normal range: 3.4-5.6 mg/dl), and an elevated serum fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) (circulating phosphate-regulatory hormone) concentration (FGF23: 282 pg/ml, normal range: <52 pg/ml) at the onset. The patient was treated with intravenous pulse methylprednisolone, oral prednisolone, mycophenolate mofetil, hydroxychloroquine, and phosphorus supplement. Serum FGF23 concentrations decreased to near the reference value at 5 months after the onset of SLE, and the TmP/GFR (4.61 mg/dl) simultaneously improved. The urinary deoxypyridinoline (bone resorption marker) concentration on admission (18.9 nmol/mmol creatinine, normal range: 75.4 ± 6.8 nmol/mmol creatinine) was greatly reduced, and the bone-type alkaline phosphatase (bone formation marker) concentration (30.6 µg/l, normal range: 58.6 ± 15.3 µg/l) was also reduced during the increase in FGF23 concentrations before steroid therapy was initiated. The reason for the inappropriate secretion of FGF23, despite hypophosphataemia, remains unknown. The findings in our case suggest that changes in bone turnover markers can occur in patients with SLE and excess inappropriate secretion of FGF23, despite severe and persistent hypophosphataemia.

Abstract
The actions of several bone-mineral ion regulators, namely PTH, FGF23, Klotho and 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D (1,25(OH)2D), control calcium and phosphate metabolism, and each of these molecules has additional biological effects related to cell signaling, metabolism and ultimately survival. Therefore, these factors are tightly regulated at various levels - genetic, epigenetic, protein secretion and cleavage. We review the main determinants of mineral homeostasis including well-established genetic and post-translational regulators and bring attention to the epigenetic mechanisms that affect the function of PTH, FGF23/Klotho and 1,25(OH)2D. Clinically relevant epigenetic mechanisms include methylation of cytosine at CpG-rich islands, histone deacetylation and micro-RNA interference. For example, sporadic pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1B (PHP1B), a disease characterized by resistance to PTH actions due to blunted intracellular cAMP signaling at the PTH/PTHrP receptor, is associated with abnormal methylation at the GNAS locus, thereby leading to reduced expression of the stimulatory G protein α-subunit (Gsα). Post-translational regulation is critical for the function of FGF-23 and such modifications include glycosylation and phosphorylation, which regulate the cleavage of FGF-23 and hence the proportion of available FGF-23 that is biologically active. While there is extensive data on how 1,25(OH)2D and the vitamin D receptor (VDR) regulate other genes, much more needs to be learned about their regulation. Reduced VDR expression or VDR mutations are the cause of rickets and are thought to contribute to different disorders. Epigenetic changes, such as increased methylation of the VDR resulting in decreased expression are associated with several cancers and infections. Genetic and epigenetic determinants play crucial roles in the function of mineral factors and their disorders lead to different diseases related to bone and beyond.

Abstract
Tachysterol2 (T2) is a photoisomer of the previtamin D2 found in UV-B-irradiated foods such as mushrooms or baker’s yeast. Due to its structural similarity to vitamin D, we hypothesized that T2 can affect vitamin D metabolism and in turn, fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), a bone-derived phosphaturic hormone that is transcriptionally regulated by the vitamin D receptor (VDR). Initially, a mouse study was conducted to investigate the bioavailability of T2 and its impact on vitamin D metabolism and Fgf23 expression. UMR106 and IDG-SW3 bone cell lines were used to elucidate the effect of T2 on FGF23 synthesis and the corresponding mechanisms. LC-MS/MS analysis found high concentrations of T2 in tissues and plasma of mice fed 4 vs. 0 mg/kg T2 for 2 weeks, accompanied by a significant decrease in plasma 1,25(OH)2D and increased renal Cyp24a1 mRNA abundance. The Fgf23 mRNA abundance in bones of mice fed T2 was moderately higher than that in control mice. The expression of Fgf23 strongly increased in UMR106 cells treated with T2. After Vdr silencing, the T2 effect on Fgf23 diminished. This effect is presumably mediated by single-hydroxylated T2-derivatives, since siRNA-mediated silencing of Cyp27a1, but not Cyp27b1, resulted in a marked reduction in T2-induced Fgf23 gene expression. To conclude, T2 is a potent regulator of Fgf23 synthesis in bone and activates Vdr. This effect depends, at least in part, on the action of Cyp27a1. The potential of oral T2 to modulate vitamin D metabolism and FGF23 synthesis raises questions about the safety of UV-B-treated foods.

Abstract
Background Obesity poses significant challenges to healthcare globally, particularly through its bi-directional relationship with co-morbid metabolic conditions such as type 2 diabetes and hypertension. There is also emerging evidence of an association between obesity and chronic kidney disease (CKD) which is less well characterized. Methods A literature search of electronic libraries was conducted to identify and present a narrative review of the interplay between obesity and CKD. Findings Obesity may predispose to CKD directly as it is linked to the histopathological finding of obesity-related glomerulopathy and indirectly through its widely recognized complications such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes. The biochemical and endocrine products of adipose tissue contribute to pathophysiological processes such as inflammation, oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, and proteinuria. The prevention and management of obesity may prove critical in counteracting both the development and advancement of CKD. Moreover, measures of abdominal adiposity such as waist circumference, are generally associated with worse morbidity and mortality in individuals receiving maintenance hemodialysis. Conclusion Obesity is a risk factor for the onset and progression of CKD and should be recognized as a potential target for a preventative public health approach to reduce CKD rates within the general population. Future research should focus on the use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors in patients with CKD and obesity due to their multi-faceted actions on major outcomes.

Abstract
Hyperphosphatemia associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) not only dysregulates mineral metabolism and bone diseases, but also strongly contributes to the progression of kidney disease itself. We have identified a novel drug for hyperphosphatemia, EOS789, that interacts with several sodium-dependent phosphate transporters (NaPi-IIb, PiT-1, and PiT-2) known to contribute to intestinal phosphate absorption. In this study, we investigated whether EOS789 could ameliorate kidney disease progression in glomerulonephritis rats. Anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) nephritis was induced in rats by intravenously administering two types of anti-rat GBM antibodies. We evaluated the effect of EOS789 administered in food admixture on hyperphosphatemia and kidney disease progression. In an anti-GBM nephritis rats, which exhibit a significant increase in serum phosphate and a decline in renal function, EOS789 dose-dependently improved hyperphosphatemia and EOS789 at 0.3% food admixture significantly ameliorated kidney dysfunction as shown in the decline of serum creatinine and BUN. Renal histopathology analysis showed that EOS789 significantly decreased crescent formation in glomeruli. To elucidate the mechanism underlying glomerular disease progression, human mesangial cells were used. High phosphate concentration in media significantly increased the expression of Collagen 1A1, 3A1, and αSMA mRNA in human mesangial cells and EOS789 dose-dependently suppressed these fibrotic markers. These results indicate that EOS789 prevented glomerular crescent formation caused by mesangial fibrosis by ameliorating hyperphosphatemia. In conclusion, EOS789 would not only be useful against hyperphosphatemia but may also have the potential to relieve mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis with crescent formation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) levels increase as kidney function decreases and are associated with increased mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Inflammation has also been shown to increase FGF23 production in adults; however, this has not been validated in pediatric patients with CKD. Furthermore, previous studies on children involved a single measurement of FGF23 without a follow-up, and a few studies have examined changes in FGF23 levels. METHODS We measured the levels of serum intact FGF23, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interleukin-6 as parameters of inflammation and other variables related to bone metabolism at baseline and after 1 year in 62 pediatric patients with CKD (stages 2-5D, 1-16 years old). Factors related to changes in FGF23 levels were investigated. RESULTS The median age of patients at the evaluation was 10.5 years (interquartile range 6.0-14.0), and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 59.0 mL/min/1.73 m2 (45.1-69.3). Primary diseases included congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract, ischemic kidney, and glomerulonephritis. The baseline value of FGF23 was 66.5 pg/mL (48.3-96.4), and percent change in FGF23 levels after 1 year was 8.5% (- 29.9-74.7). The percent change in FGF23 levels showed a negative correlation with that in eGFR (P = 0.010), and a positive correlation with that in TNF-α levels (P = 0.035). A multivariate linear regression analysis identified TNF-α as an independent factor increasing FGF23 levels. CONCLUSIONS An increase in TNF-α levels is associated with elevation of FGF23 levels in pediatric patients with CKD.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease is common and causes significant morbidity including shortened lifespans and decrease in quality of life for patients. The major cause of mortality in chronic kidney disease is cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease within the chronic kidney disease population is closely tied with disordered calcium and phosphorus metabolism and driven in part by renal bone disease. The complex nature of renal, bone, and cardiovascular diseases was renamed as mineral and bone disorder of chronic kidney disease to encompass how bone disease drives vascular calcification and contributes to the development of long-term cardiovascular disease, and recent data suggest that managing bone disease well can augment and improve cardiovascular disease status. Pediatric nephrologists have additional obstacles in optimal mineral and bone disorder of chronic kidney disease management such as linear growth and skeletal maturation. In this article, we will discuss cardiovascular and bone diseases in chronic kidney disease and end-stage kidney disease patients with a focus on pediatric issues and concerns.

Abstract
Early research has suggested a rather straightforward relation between phosphate exposure, increased serum FGF23 (Fibroblast Growth Factor 23) concentrations and clinical endpoints. Unsurprisingly, however, subsequent studies have revealed a much more complex interplay between autocrine and paracrine factors locally in bone like PHEX and DMP1, concentrations of minerals in particular calcium and phosphate, calciprotein particles, and endocrine systems like parathyroid hormone PTH and the vitamin D system. In addition to these physiological regulators, an expanding list of disease states are shown to influence FGF23 levels, usually increasing it, and as such increase the burden of disease. While some of these physiological or pathological factors, like inflammatory cytokines, may partially confound the association of FGF23 and clinical endpoints, others are in the same causal path, are targetable and hence hold the promise of future treatment options to alleviate FGF23-driven toxicity, for instance in chronic kidney disease, the FGF23-associated disease with the highest prevalence by far. These factors will be reviewed here and their relative importance described, thereby possibly opening potential means for future therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects about 10-13 % of the population worldwide and halting its progression is a major clinical challenge. Metabolic acidosis is both a consequence and a possible driver of CKD progression. Alkali therapy counteracts these effects in CKD patients, but underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Here we show that bicarbonate supplementation protected renal function in a murine CKD model induced by an oxalate-rich diet. Alkali therapy had no effect on the aldosterone-endothelin axis but promoted levels of the anti-aging protein klotho; moreover, it suppressed adhesion molecules required for immune cell invasion along with reducing T helper cell and inflammatory monocyte invasion. Comparing transcriptomes from the murine crystallopathy model and from human biopsies of kidney transplant recipients suffering from acidosis with or without alkali therapy unveils parallel transcriptome responses mainly associated with lipid metabolism and oxidoreductase activity. Our data reveal novel pathways associated with acidosis in kidney disease and sensitive to alkali therapy and identifies potential targets through which alkali therapy may act on CKD and that may be amenable for more targeted therapies.

Abstract
Overview: The treatment of chronic renal failure (CRF) with traditional Chinese medicine has attracted much attention, but its mechanism is not clear. Network pharmacology is an effective strategy for exploring the interaction mechanisms between Chinese herbs and diseases, however, it still needs to be validated in cell and/or animal experiments due to its virtual screening characteristics. Herein, the anti-CRF mechanism of the Fushengong decoction (FSGD) was investigated using a dual-dimension network pharmacological strategy combined with in vivo experiment. Methods: The traditional Chinese medicine systems pharmacology (TCMSP) database (https://tcmspw.com) and UHPLC-MS/MS technology were used to identify the effective compounds of FSGD in theory and practice, such as quercetin, formononetin, and pachymic acid. The putative targets of FSGD and CRF were obtained from the Swisstarget prediction platform and the Genecards database, respectively. The common target pathways between FSGD and CRF were got from the dual-dimension network pharmacology analysis, which integrated the cross-common targets from the TCMSP components-Swisstarget-Genecards-Venn platform analysis in theory, and the UHPLC-MS/MS identified effective ingredients-Swisstarget screening, such as TNF and PI3K/AKT. Furthermore, system molecular determinations were used to prove the dual-dimension network pharmacology study through CRF rat models, which were constructed using adenine and treated with FSGD for 4 weeks. Results: A total of 121 and 9 effective compounds were obtained from the TCMSP database and UHPLC-MS/MS, respectively. After dual-dimension network pharmacology analysis, the possible mechanism of PTEN/PI3K/AKT/NF-κB pathway was found for FSGD in CRF. In vivo experiments indicated that FSGD can play a role in protecting renal function and reducing fibrosis by regulating the PTEN/PI3K/AKT/NF-κB pathway. These findings provide a reference for FSGD in CRF. Conclusion: Based on the theoretical and practical dual-dimension network pharmacology analysis for FSGD in CRF, the possible molecular mechanism of PTEN/PI3K/AKT/NF-κB was successfully predicted, and these results were verified by in vivo experiments. In this study, the dual-dimension network pharmacology was used to interpret the key signal pathway for FSGD in CRF, which also proved to be a smart strategy for the study of effective substances and pharmacology in FSGD.

Abstract
Endocrine and paracrine fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a protein predominantly produced by bone cells with strong impact on phosphate and vitamin D metabolism by targeting the kidney. Plasma FGF23 concentration early rises in kidney and cardiovascular diseases correlating with progression and outcome. Lactic acid is generated in anaerobic glycolysis. Lactic acidosis is the consequence of various physiological and pathological conditions and may be fatal. Since FGF23 production is stimulated by inflammation and lactic acid induces pro-inflammatory signaling, we investigated whether and how lactic acid influences FGF23. Experiments were performed in UMR106 osteoblast-like cells, Fgf23 mRNA levels estimated from quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, and FGF23 protein determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Lactic acid dose-dependently induced Fgf23 gene expression and up-regulated FGF23 synthesis. Also, Na+-lactate as well as formic acid and acetic acid up-regulated Fgf23. The lactic acid effect was significantly attenuated by nuclear factor kappa-light-chain enhancer of activated B-cells (NFκB) inhibitors wogonin and withaferin A. Lactic acid induces FGF23 production, an effect at least in part mediated by NFκB. Lactic acidosis may, therefore, be paralleled by a surge in plasma FGF23.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is an important bone hormone that regulates phosphate homeostasis in the kidney along with active vitamin D (1,25(OH)2D3) and parathyroid hormone (PTH). Endocrine effects of FGF23 depend, at least in part, on αKlotho functioning as a co-receptor whereas further paracrine effects in other tissues are αKlotho-independent. Regulation of FGF23 production is complex under both, physiological and pathophysiological conditions. Physiological regulators of FGF23 include, but are not limited to, 1,25(OH)2D3, PTH, dietary phosphorus intake, and further intracellular and extracellular factors, kinases, cytokines, and hormones. Moreover, several acute and chronic diseases including chronic kidney disease (CKD) or further cardiovascular disorders are characterized by early rises in the plasma FGF23 level pointing to further mechanisms effective in the regulation of FGF23 under pathophysiological conditions. Therefore, FGF23 also serves as a prognostic marker in several diseases. Our review aims to comprehensively summarize the regulation of FGF23 in health and disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Abnormal bone metabolism and renal anemia seriously affect the prognosis of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Existing studies have mostly addressed the pathogenesis and treatment of bone metabolism abnormality and anemia in patients with CKD, but few have evaluated their mutual connection. Administration of exogenous erythropoietin to CKD patients with anemia used to be the mainstay of therapeutic approaches; however, with the availability of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) stabilizers such as roxadustat, more therapeutic choices for renal anemia are expected in the future. However, the effects posed by the hypoxic environment on both CKD complications remain incompletely understood. AIM To summarize the relationship between renal anemia and abnormal bone metabolism, and to discuss the influence of hypoxia on bone metabolism. METHODS CNKI and PubMed searches were performed using the key words "chronic kidney disease," "abnormal bone metabolism," "anemia," "hypoxia," and "HIF" to identify relevant articles published in multiple languages and fields. Reference lists from identified articles were reviewed to extract additional pertinent articles. Then we retrieved the Abstract and Introduction and searched the results from the literature, classified the extracted information, and summarized important information. Finally, we made our own conclusions. RESULTS There is a bidirectional relationship between renal anemia and abnormal bone metabolism. Abnormal vitamin D metabolism and hyperparathyroidism can affect bone metabolism, blood cell production, and survival rates through multiple pathways. Anemia will further attenuate the normal bone growth. The hypoxic environment regulates bone morphogenetic protein, vascular endothelial growth factor, and neuropilin-1, and affects osteoblast/osteoclast maturation and differentiation through bone metabolic changes. Hypoxia preconditioning of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can enhance their paracrine effects and promote fracture healing. Concurrently, hypoxia reduces the inhibitory effect on osteocyte differentiation by inhibiting the expression of fibroblast growth factor 23. Hypoxia potentially improves bone metabolism, but it still carries potential risks. The optimal concentration and duration of hypoxia remain unclear. CONCLUSION There is a bidirectional relationship between renal anemia and abnormal bone metabolism. Hypoxia may improve bone metabolism but the concentration and duration of hypoxia remain unclear and need further study.

Abstract
Na+-dependent phosphate cotransporters NaPi-IIa and NaPi-IIc, located at the brush-border membrane of renal proximal tubules, are regulated by numerous factors, including fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23). FGF23 downregulates NaPi-IIa and NaPi-IIc abundance after activating a signaling pathway involving phosphorylation of ERK1/2 (phospho-ERK1/2). FGF23 also downregulates expression of renal 1-α-hydroxylase (Cyp27b1) and upregulates 24-hydroxylase (Cyp24a1), thus reducing plasma calcitriol levels. Here, we examined the time course of FGF23-induced internalization of NaPi-IIa and NaPi-IIc and their intracellular pathway toward degradation in vivo. Mice were injected intraperitoneally with recombinant human (rh)FGF23 in the absence (biochemical analysis) or presence (immunohistochemistry) of leupeptin, an inhibitor of lysosomal proteases. Phosphorylation of ERK1/2 was enhanced 60 min after rhFGF23 administration, and increased phosphorylation was still detected 480 min after injection. Colocalization of phospho-ERK1/2 with NaPi-IIa was seen at 60 and 120 min and partly at 480 min. The abundance of both cotransporters was reduced 240 min after rhFGF23 administration, with a further reduction at 480 min. NaPi-IIa and NaPi-IIc were found to colocalize with clathrin and early endosomal antigen 1 as early as 120 min after rhFGF23 injection. Both cotransporters partially colocalized with cathepsin B and lysosomal-associated membrane protein-1, markers of lysosomes, 120 min after rhFGF23 injection. Thus, NaPi-IIa and NaPi-IIc are internalized within 2 h upon rhFGF23 injection. Both cotransporters share the pathway of clathrin-mediated endocytosis that leads first to early endosomes, finally resulting in trafficking toward the lysosome as early as 120 min after rhFGF23 administration.NEW & NOTEWORTHY The hormone fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) controls phosphate homeostasis by regulating renal phosphate excretion. FGF23 acts on several phosphate transporters in the kidney. Here, we define the time course of this action and demonstrate how phosphate transporters NaPi-IIa and NaPi-IIc are internalized.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a bone- and bone marrow-derived hormone that is critical to maintain phosphate homeostasis. The principal actions of FGF23 are to reduce serum phosphate levels by decreasing kidney phosphate reabsorption and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D synthesis. FGF23 deficiency causes hyperphosphatemia and ectopic calcifications, while FGF23 excess causes hypophosphatemia and skeletal defects. Excess FGF23 also correlates with kidney disease, where it is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Accordingly, FGF23 levels are tightly regulated, but the mechanisms remain incompletely understood. RECENT FINDINGS In addition to bone mineral factors, additional factors including iron, erythropoietin, inflammation, energy, and metabolism regulate FGF23. All these factors affect Fgf23 expression, while some also regulate FGF23 protein cleavage. Conversely, FGF23 may have a functional role in regulating these biologic processes. Understanding the bi-directional relationship between FGF23 and non-bone mineral factors is providing new insights into FGF23 regulation and function.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are a large family of secretory molecules that act through tyrosine kinase receptors known as FGF receptors. They play crucial roles in a wide variety of cellular functions, including cell proliferation, survival, metabolism, morphogenesis, and differentiation, as well as in tissue repair and regeneration. The signaling pathways regulated by FGFs include RAS/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase (PI3K)–protein kinase B (AKT), phospholipase C gamma (PLCγ), and signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT). To date, 22 FGFs have been discovered, involved in different functions in the body. Several FGFs directly or indirectly interfere with repair during tissue regeneration, in addition to their critical functions in the maintenance of pluripotency and dedifferentiation of stem cells. In this review, we summarize the roles of FGFs in diverse cellular processes and shed light on the importance of FGF signaling in mechanisms of tissue repair and regeneration.

Abstract
Background Patients on dialysis have a high burden of bone-related comorbidities, including fractures. We report a post hoc analysis of the prospective cohort study HDF, Hearts and Heights (3H) to determine the prevalence and risk factors for chronic kidney disease-related bone disease in children on hemodiafiltration (HDF) and conventional hemodialysis (HD). Methods The baseline cross-sectional analysis included 144 children, of which 103 (61 HD, 42 HDF) completed 12-month follow-up. Circulating biomarkers of bone formation and resorption, inflammatory markers, fibroblast growth factor-23, and klotho were measured. Results Inflammatory markers interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-α, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein were lower in HDF than in HD cohorts at baseline and at 12 months (P < .001). Concentrations of bone formation (bone-specific alkaline phosphatase) and resorption (tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b) markers were comparable between cohorts at baseline, but after 12-months the bone-specific alkaline phosphatase/tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b ratio increased in HDF (P = .004) and was unchanged in HD (P = .44). On adjusted analysis, the bone-specific alkaline phosphatase/tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b ratio was 2.66-fold lower (95% confidence interval, −3.91 to −1.41; P < .0001) in HD compared with HDF. Fibroblast growth factor-23 was comparable between groups at baseline (P = .52) but increased in HD (P < .0001) and remained unchanged in HDF (P = .34) at 12 months. Klotho levels were similar between groups and unchanged during follow-up. The fibroblast growth factor-23/klotho ratio was 3.86-fold higher (95% confidence interval, 2.15–6.93; P < .0001) after 12 months of HD compared with HDF. Conclusion Children on HDF have an attenuated inflammatory profile, increased bone formation, and lower fibroblast growth factor-23/klotho ratios compared with those on HD. Long-term studies are required to determine the effects of an improved bone biomarker profile on fracture risk and cardiovascular health.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION After the onset of bone metastasis, tumor cells appear to modify surrounding microenvironments for their benefit, and particularly, the levels of circulating fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 23 in patients with tumors have been highlighted. MATERIALS AND METHODS We have attempted to verify if human breast carcinoma MDA-MB-231 cells metastasized in the long bone of nu/nu mice would synthesize FGF23. Serum concentrations of calcium, phosphate (Pi) and FGF23 were measured in control nu/nu mice, bone-metastasized mice, and mice with mammary gland injected with MDA-MB-231 cells mimicking primary mammary tumors. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS MDA-MB-231 cells revealed intense FGF23 reactivity in metastasized lesions, whereas MDA-MB-231 cells cultured in vitro or when injected into the mammary glands (without bone metastasis) showed weak FGF23 immunoreactivity. Although the bone-metastasized MDA-MB-231 cells abundantly synthesized FGF23, osteocytes adjacent to the FGF23-immunopositive tumors, unlike intact osteocytes, showed no FGF23. Despite significantly elevated serum FGF23 levels in bone-metastasized mice, there was no significant decrease in the serum Pi concentration when compared with the intact mice and mice with a mass of MDA-MB-231 cells in mammary glands. The metastasized femora showed increased expression and FGFR1 immunoreactivity in fibroblastic stromal cells, whereas femora of control mice showed no obvious FGFR1 immunoreactivity. Taken together, it seems likely that MDA-MB-231 cells synthesize FGF23 when metastasized to a bone, and thus affect FGFR1-positive stromal cells in the metastasized tumor nest in a paracrine manner.

Abstract
Dietary habits in the western world lead to increasing phosphate intake. Under physiological conditions, extraosseous precipitation of phosphate with calcium is prevented by a mineral buffering system composed of calcification inhibitors and tight control of serum phosphate levels. The coordinated hormonal regulation of serum phosphate involves fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), αKlotho, parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcitriol. A severe derangement of phosphate homeostasis is observed in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), a patient collective with extremely high risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Higher phosphate levels in serum have been associated with increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in CKD patients, but also in the general population. The causal connections between phosphate and CVD are currently incompletely understood. An assumed link between phosphate and cardiovascular risk is the development of medial vascular calcification, a process actively promoted and regulated by a complex mechanistic interplay involving activation of pro-inflammatory signalling. Emerging evidence indicates a link between disturbances in phosphate homeostasis and inflammation. The present review focuses on critical interactions of phosphate homeostasis, inflammation, vascular calcification and CVD. Especially, pro-inflammatory responses mediating hyperphosphatemia-related development of vascular calcification as well as FGF23 as a critical factor in the interplay between inflammation and cardiovascular alterations, beyond its phosphaturic effects, are addressed.

Abstract
C57BL/6 mice are known to be rather resistant to the induction of experimental chronic kidney disease (CKD) by 5/6-nephrectomy (5/6-Nx). Here, we sought to characterize the development of CKD and its cardiac and skeletal sequelae during the first three months after 5/6-Nx in C57BL/6 mice fed a calcium- and phosphate enriched diet (CPD) with a balanced calcium/phosphate ratio. 5/6-NX mice on CPD showed increased renal fibrosis and a more pronounced decrease in glomerular filtration rate when compared to 5/6-Nx mice on normal diet (ND). Interestingly, despite comparable levels of serum calcium, phosphate, and parathyroid hormone (PTH), circulating intact fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) was 5 times higher in 5/6-Nx mice on CPD, relative to 5/6-Nx mice on ND. A time course experiment revealed that 5/6-Nx mice on CPD developed progressive renal functional decline, renal fibrosis, cortical bone loss, impaired bone mineralization as well as hypertension, but not left ventricular hypertrophy. Collectively, our data show that the resistance of C57BL/6 mice to 5/6-Nx can be partially overcome by feeding the CPD, and that the CPD induces a profound, PTH-independent increase in FGF23 in 5/6-Nx mice, making it an interesting tool to assess the pathophysiological significance of FGF23 in CKD.

Abstract
Observational studies have associated the increase in fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 23 levels, the main regulator of phosphate levels, with the onset of diabetes. These studies open the debate on the plausible existence of undescribed diabetogenic mechanisms derived from chronic supraphysiological levels of FGF23, a prevalent condition in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. These maladaptive and diabetogenic responses to FGF23 may occur at different levels, including a direct effect on the pancreatic ß cells, and an indirect effect derived from the stimulation of the synthesis of pro-inflammatory factors. Both mechanisms could be mediated by the binding of FGF23 to noncanonical receptor complexes with the subsequent overactivation of signaling pathways that leads to harmful effects. The canonical binding of FGF23 to the receptor complex formed by the receptor FGFR1c and the coreceptor αKlotho activates Ras/MAPK/ERK signaling. However, supraphysiological concentrations of FGF23 favor non-αKlotho-dependent binding of this molecule to other FGFRs, which could generate an undesired overactivation of the PLCγ/CN/NFAT pathway, as observed in cardiomyocytes and hepatocytes. Moreover, the decrease in αKlotho expression may constitute a contributing factor to the appearance of these effects by promoting the nonspecific activation of the PLCγ/CN/NFAT to the detriment of the αKlotho-dependent Ras/MAPK/ERK pathway. The description of these mechanisms would allow the development of new therapeutic targets susceptible to be modified by dietary changes or by pharmacological intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mineral and bone disorder (MBD) and growth impairment are common complications of pediatric chronic kidney disease (CKD). Chronic inflammation detrimentally affects bone health and statural growth in non-CKD settings, but the impact of inflammation on CKD-MBD and growth in pediatric CKD remains poorly understood. This study assessed associations between inflammatory cytokines with biomarkers of CKD-MBD and statural growth in pediatric CKD. METHODS This is a cross-sectional study of children with predialysis CKD stages II-V. Cytokines (IL-1b, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12, IL-13, TNF-α, interferon-γ), bone alkaline phosphatase (BAP), and procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP) were measured at the same time as standard CKD-MBD biomarkers. Associations between cytokines, CKD-MBD biomarkers, and height z-score were assessed using linear regression analysis. RESULTS Among 63 children, 52.4% had stage 3 CKD, 76.2% non-glomerular CKD etiology, and 21% short stature. TNF-α was the only cytokine associated with parathyroid hormone (PTH) independent of glomerular filtration rate. After stratification by low, medium, and high TNF-α tertiles, significant differences in PTH, serum phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, BAP, P1NP, and height z-score were found. In a multivariate analysis, TNF-α positively associated with phosphorus, PTH, and alkaline phosphatase and inversely associated with height z-score, independent of kidney function, age, sex, and active vitamin D analogue use. CONCLUSIONS TNF-α is positively associated with biomarkers of CKD-MBD and inversely associated with height z-score, indicating that inflammation likely contributes to the development of CKD-MBD and growth impairment in pediatric CKD. Prospective studies to definitively assess causative effects of inflammation on bone health and growth in children with CKD are warranted.

Abstract
Myostatin is a signaling molecule produced by skeletal muscle cells (myokine) that inhibits muscle hypertrophy and has further paracrine and endocrine effects in other organs including bone. Myostatin binds to activin receptor type 2B which forms a complex with transforming growth factor-β type I receptor (TGF-βRI) and induces intracellular p38MAPK and NFκB signaling. Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a paracrine and endocrine mediator produced by bone cells and regulates phosphate and vitamin D metabolism in the kidney. P38MAPK and NFκB-dependent store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) are positive regulators of FGF23 production. Here, we explored whether myostatin influences the synthesis of FGF23. Fgf23 gene expression was determined by qRT-PCR and FGF23 protein by ELISA in UMR106 osteoblast–like cells. UMR106 cells expressed activin receptor type 2A and B. Myostatin upregulated Fgf23 gene expression and protein production. The myostatin effect on Fgf23 was significantly attenuated by TGF-βRI inhibitor SB431542, p38MAPK inhibitor SB202190, and NFκB inhibitor withaferin A. Moreover, SOCE inhibitor 2-APB blunted the myostatin effect on Fgf23. Taken together, myostatin is a stimulator of Fgf23 expression in UMR106 cells, an effect at least partially mediated by downstream TGF-βRI/p38MAPK signaling as well as NFκB-dependent SOCE.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury is a global disease with high morbidity and mortality. Recent studies have revealed that the fibroblast growth factor-23-α-Klotho axis is closely related to chronic kidney disease, and has multiple biological functions beyond bone-mineral metabolism. However, although dysregulation of fibroblast growth factor-23-α-Klotho has been observed in acute kidney injury, the role of fibroblast growth factor-23-α-Klotho in the pathophysiology of acute kidney injury remains largely unknown. In this review, we describe recent findings regarding fibroblast growth factor-23-α-Klotho, which is mainly involved in inflammation, oxidative stress, and hemodynamic disorders. Further, based on these recent results, we put forth novel insights regarding the relationship between the fibroblast growth factor-23-α-Klotho axis and acute kidney injury, which may provide new therapeutic targets for treating acute kidney injury.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the major health problems of the modern age. It represents an important public health challenge with an ever-lasting rising prevalence, which reached almost 700 million by the year 2017. Therefore, it is very important to identify patients at risk for CKD development and discover risk factors that cause the progression of the disease. Several studies have tackled this conundrum in recent years, novel markers have been identified, and new insights into the pathogenesis of CKD have been gained. This review summarizes the evidence on markers of inflammation and their role in the development and progression of CKD. It will focus primarily on cytokines, chemokines, and cell adhesion molecules. Nevertheless, further large, multicenter studies are needed to establish the role of these markers and confirm possible treatment options in everyday clinical practice.

Abstract
Anemia affects millions of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and prompt iron supplementation can lead to reductions in the required dose of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents, thereby reducing medical costs. Oral and intravenous (IV) traditional iron preparations are considered far from ideal, primarily due to gastrointestinal intolerability and the potential risk of infusion reactions, respectively. Fortunately, the emergence of novel iron replacement therapies has engendered a paradigm shift in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia in patients with CKD. For example, oral ferric citrate is an efficacious and safe phosphate binder that increases iron stores to maintain hemoglobin levels. Additional benefits include reductions in fibroblast growth factor 23 levels and the activation of 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D. The new-generation IV iron preparations ferumoxytol, iron isomaltoside 1000, and ferric carboxymaltose are characterized by a reduced risk of infusion reactions and are clinically well tolerated as a rapid high-dose infusion. In patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD), ferric pyrophosphate citrate (FPC) administered through dialysate enables the replacement of ongoing uremic and HD-related iron loss. FPC transports iron directly to transferrin, bypassing the reticuloendothelial system and avoiding iron sequestration. Moreover, this paper summarizes recent advancements of hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors and future perspectives in renal anemia management.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), which is involved in the regulation of vitamin D, is an emerging independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Previous studies have demonstrated a positive association between FGF23 and stroke. In this study, we aimed to assess the association of FGF23 with ischemic stroke and its subtypes by applying a Mendelian randomization (MR) framework. Five genetic variants obtained from a genome-wide association study involving 16,624 European subjects were used as valid instruments of circulating FGF23 levels. MR was applied to infer the causality of FGF23 levels and the risk of ischemic stroke using data from the MEGASTROKE consortium. Subsequently, several MR analyses, including inverse-variance weighted meta-analysis, MR-Egger, weighted median estimate (WME), MR Pleiotropy Residual Sum and Outlier were performed. The heterogeneity test analysis, including Cochran's Q, I 2 test and leave-one-out analysis were also applied. Furthermore, potential horizontal/vertical pleiotropy was assessed. Lastly, the power of MR analysis was tested. Three validated variants were found to be associated with circulating FGF23 levels and were used for further investigation. We found that high expression level of FGF23 was not associated with any ischemic stroke. However, a causal association between genetically predicted FGF23 levels and the risk of large-artery atherosclerotic stroke (LAS) was significant, with an odds ratio of 1.74 (95% confidence interval = 1.08-2.81) per standard deviation increase in circulating FGF23 levels. Our findings provide support for the causal association between FGF23 and LAS, and therefore, offer potential therapeutic targets for LAS. The specific roles of FGF23 in LAS and associated molecules require further investigation.

Abstract
Erythropoiesis is a complex process driving the production of red blood cells. During homeostasis, adult erythropoiesis takes place in the bone marrow and is tightly controlled by erythropoietin (EPO), a central hormone mainly produced in renal EPO-producing cells. The expression of EPO is strictly regulated by local changes in oxygen partial pressure (pO2) as under-deprived oxygen (hypoxia); the transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor-2 induces EPO. However, erythropoiesis regulation extends beyond the well-established hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-EPO axis and involves processes modulated by other hypoxia pathway proteins (HPPs), including proteins involved in iron metabolism. The importance of a number of these factors is evident as their altered expression has been associated with various anemia-related disorders, including chronic kidney disease. Eventually, our emerging understanding of HPPs and their regulatory feedback will be instrumental in developing specific therapies for anemic patients and beyond.

Abstract
FGF-23 has arisen as an early biomarker of renal dysfunction, but at the onset of chronic kidney disease (CKD), data suggest that FGF-23 may be produced independently of the parathyroid hormone (PTH), 1,25(OH)2 -vitamin D3 signaling axis. Iron status is inversely correlated to the level of circulating FGF-23, and improvement in iron bioavailability within patients correlates with a decrease in FGF-23. Alternately, recent evidence also supports a regulatory role of inflammatory cytokines in the modulation of FGF-23 expression. To determine the identity of the signal from the kidney-inducing upregulation of osteocytic FGF-23 at the onset of CKD, we utilized a mouse model of congenital CKD that fails to properly mature the glomerular capillary tuft. We profiled the sequential presentation of indicators of renal dysfunction, phosphate imbalance, and iron bioavailability and transport to identify the events that initiate osteocytic production of FGF-23 during the onset of CKD. We report here that elevations in circulating intact-FGF-23 coincide with the earliest indicators of renal dysfunction (P14), and precede changes in serum phosphate or iron homeostasis. Serum PTH was also not changed within the first month. Instead, production of the inflammatory protein IL-1β from the kidney and systemic elevation of it in the circulation matched the induction of FGF-23. IL-1β's ability to induce FGF-23 was confirmed on bone chips in culture and within mice in vivo. Furthermore, neutralizing antibody to IL-1β blocked FGF-23 expression in both our congenital model of CKD and a second nephrotoxic serum-mediated model. We conclude that early CKD resembles a situation of primary FGF-23 excess mediated by inflammation. These findings do not preclude that altered mineral availability or anemia can later modulate FGF-23 levels but find that in early CKD they are not the driving stimulus for the initial upregulation of FGF-23. © 2020 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Abstract
After decades of pioneering and improvement, kidney transplantation is now the renal replacement therapy of choice for most patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Where focus has traditionally been on surgical techniques and immunosuppressive treatment with prevention of rejection and infection in relation to short-term outcomes, nowadays, so many people are long-living with a transplanted kidney that lifestyle, including diet and exposure to toxic contaminants, also becomes of importance for the kidney transplantation field. Beyond hazards of immunological nature, a systematic assessment of potentially modifiable-yet rather overlooked-risk factors for late graft failure and excess cardiovascular risk may reveal novel targets for clinical intervention to optimize long-term health and downturn current rates of premature death of kidney transplant recipients (KTR). It should also be realized that while kidney transplantation aims to restore kidney function, it incompletely mitigates mechanisms of disease such as chronic low-grade inflammation with persistent redox imbalance and deregulated mineral and bone metabolism. While the vicious circle between inflammation and oxidative stress as common final pathway of a multitude of insults plays an established pathological role in native chronic kidney disease, its characterization post-kidney transplant remains less than satisfactory. Next to chronic inflammatory status, markedly accelerated vascular calcification persists after kidney transplantation and is likewise suggested a major independent mechanism, whose mitigation may counterbalance the excess risk of cardiovascular disease post-kidney transplant. Hereby, we first discuss modifiable dietary elements and toxic environmental contaminants that may explain increased risk of cardiovascular mortality and late graft failure in KTR. Next, we specify laboratory and clinical readouts, with a postulated role within persisting mechanisms of disease post-kidney transplantation (i.e., inflammation and redox imbalance and vascular calcification), as potential non-traditional risk factors for adverse long-term outcomes in KTR. Reflection on these current research opportunities is warranted among the research and clinical kidney transplantation community.

Abstract
High serum concentrations of the phosphaturic hormone, fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), contribute to various tissue injuries. In chronic kidney disease, the sources of FGF23 and the stimuli that control FGF23 production differ from those in the physiologic scenario. Mediators of inflammation are intensively studied as potential factors that contribute to FGF23 elevations and thereby might function as drug targets to lower FGF23 levels. The present study focuses on tumor necrosis factor.

Abstract
Elevated levels of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) and phosphate are highly associated with increased cardiovascular disease and mortality in patients suffering from chronic kidney disease (CKD). As the kidney function declines, serum phosphate levels rise and subsequently induce the secretion of the phosphaturic hormone FGF23. In early stages of CKD, FGF23 prevents the increase of serum phosphate levels and thereby attenuates phosphate-induced vascular calcification, whereas in end-stage kidney disease, FGF23 fails to maintain phosphate homeostasis. Both hyperphosphatemia and elevated FGF23 levels promote the development of hypertension, vascular calcification, and left ventricular hypertrophy by distinct mechanisms. Therefore, FGF23 and phosphate are considered promising therapeutic targets to improve the cardiovascular outcome in CKD patients. Previous therapeutic strategies are based on dietary and pharmacological reduction of serum phosphate, and consequently FGF23 levels. However, clinical trials proving the effects on the cardiovascular outcome are lacking. Recent publications provide evidence for new promising therapeutic interventions, such as magnesium supplementation and direct targeting of phosphate and FGF receptors to prevent toxicity of FGF23 and hyperphosphatemia in CKD patients.

Abstract
In patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), adverse outcomes such as systemic inflammation and anemia are contributing pathologies which increase the risks for cardiovascular mortality. Amongst these complications, abnormalities in mineral metabolism and the metabolic milieu are associated with chronic inflammation and iron dysregulation, and fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a risk factor in this context. FGF23 is a bone-derived hormone that is essential for regulating vitamin D and phosphate homeostasis. In the early stages of CKD, serum FGF23 levels rise 1000-fold above normal values in an attempt to maintain normal phosphate levels. Despite this compensatory action, clinical CKD studies have demonstrated powerful and dose-dependent associations between FGF23 levels and higher risks for mortality. A prospective pathomechanism coupling elevated serum FGF23 levels with CKD-associated anemia and cardiovascular injury is its strong association with chronic inflammation. In this review, we will examine the current experimental and clinical evidence regarding the role of FGF23 in renal physiology as well as in the pathophysiology of CKD with an emphasis on chronic inflammation and anemia.
