The calcium-sensing receptor has only a parathyroid hormone-dependent role in the acute response of renal phosphate transporters to phosphate intake. Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 2024; 326:F792-F801. [PMID: 38545651 DOI: 10.1152/ajprenal.00009.2024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2024] [Revised: 03/22/2024] [Accepted: 03/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/04/2024] Open
Abstract
The kidney controls systemic inorganic phosphate (Pi) levels by adapting reabsorption to Pi intake. Renal Pi reabsorption is mostly mediated by sodium-phosphate cotransporters NaPi-IIa (SLC34A1) and NaPi-IIc (SLC34A3) that are tightly controlled by various hormones including parathyroid hormone (PTH) and fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23). PTH and FGF23 rise in response to Pi intake and decrease NaPi-IIa and NaPi-IIc brush border membrane abundance enhancing phosphaturia. Phosphaturia and transporter regulation occurs even in the absence of PTH and FGF23 signaling. The calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) regulates PTH and FGF23 secretion, and may also directly affect renal Pi handling. Here, we combined pharmacological and genetic approaches to examine the role of the CaSR in the acute phosphaturic response to Pi loading. Animals pretreated with the calcimimetic cinacalcet were hyperphosphatemic, had blunted PTH levels upon Pi administration, a reduced Pi-induced phosphaturia, and no Pi-induced NaPi-IIa downregulation. The calcilytic NPS-2143 exaggerated the PTH response to Pi loading but did not abolish Pi-induced downregulation of NaPi-IIa. In mice with a dominant inactivating mutation in the Casr (CasrBCH002), baseline NaPi-IIa expression was higher, whereas downregulation of transporter expression was blunted in double CasrBCH002/PTH knockout (KO) transgenic animals. Thus, in response to an acute Pi load, acute modulation of the CaSR affects the endocrine and renal response, whereas chronic genetic inactivation, displays only subtle differences in the downregulation of NaPi-IIa and NaPi-IIc renal expression. We did not find evidence that the CaSR impacts on the acute renal response to oral Pi loading beyond its role in regulating PTH secretion.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Consumption of phosphate-rich diets causes an adaptive response of the body leading to the urinary excretion of phosphate. The underlying mechanisms are still poorly understood. Here, we examined the role of the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) that senses both calcium and phosphate. We confirmed that the receptor increases the secretion of parathyroid hormone involved in stimulating urinary phosphate excretion. However, we did not find any evidence for a role of the receptor beyond this function.

Pflugers Arch 2022; 474:1201-1212. [PMID: 36074191 PMCID: PMC9560988 DOI: 10.1007/s00424-022-02744-1] [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: 07/11/2022] [Revised: 08/20/2022] [Accepted: 08/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
Studies addressing homeostasis of inorganic phosphate (Pi) are mostly restricted to murine models. Data provided by genetically modified mice suggest that renal Pi reabsorption is primarily mediated by the Na+/Pi cotransporter NaPi-IIa/Slc34a1, whereas the contribution of NaPi-IIc/Slc34a3 in adult animals seems negligible. However, mutations in both cotransporters associate with hypophosphatemic syndromes in humans, suggesting major inter-species heterogeneity. Urinary extracellular vesicles (UEV) have been proposed as an alternative source to analyse the intrinsic expression of renal proteins in vivo. Here, we analyse in rats whether the protein abundance of renal Pi transporters in UEV correlates with their renal content. For that, we compared the abundance of NaPi-IIa and NaPi-IIc in paired samples from kidneys and UEV from rats fed acutely and chronically on diets with low or high Pi. In renal brush border membranes (BBM) NaPi-IIa was detected as two fragments corresponding to the full-length protein and to a proteolytic product, whereas NaPi-IIc migrated as a single full-length band. The expression of NaPi-IIa (both fragments) in BBM adapted to acute as well to chronic changes of dietary Pi, whereas adaptation of NaPi-IIc was only detected in response to chronic administration. Both transporters were detected in UEV as well. UEV reflected the renal adaptation of the NaPi-IIa proteolytic fragment (but not the full-length protein) upon chronic but not acute dietary changes, while also reproducing the chronic regulation of NaPi-IIc. Thus, the composition of UEV reflects only partially changes in the expression of NaPi-IIa and NaPi-IIc at the BBM triggered by dietary Pi.

Abstract
Phosphate is essential in living organisms and its blood levels are regulated by a complex network involving the kidneys, intestine, parathyroid glands, and the skeleton. The crosstalk between these organs is executed primarily by three hormones, calcitriol, parathyroid hormone, and fibroblast growth factor 23. Largely due to a higher intake of ultraprocessed foods, dietary phosphate intake has increased in the last decades. The average intake is now about twice the recommended dietary allowance. Studies investigating the side effect of chronic high dietary phosphate intake suffer from incomplete dietary phosphate assessment and, therefore, often make data interpretation difficult. Renal excretion is quickly adapted to acute and chronic phosphate intake. However, at the high ends of dietary intake, renal adaptation, even in pre-existing normal kidney function, apparently is not perfect. Experimental intervention studies suggest that chronic excess of dietary phosphate can result in sustained higher blood phosphate leading to hyperphosphatemia. Evidence exists that the price of the homeostatic response (phosphaturia in response to phosphate loading/hyperphosphatemia) is an increased risk for declining kidney function, partly due by intraluminal/tubular calcium phosphate particles that provoke renal inflammation. High dietary phosphate intake and hyperphosphatemia are progression factors for declining kidney function and are associated with higher cardiovascular disease and mortality risk. This is best established for pre-existing chronic kidney disease, but epidemiological and experimental data strongly suggest that this holds true for subjects with normal renal function as well. Here, we review the latest advances in phosphate intake and kidney function decline.

Abstract
AIMS Dietary inorganic phosphate (Pi) modulates renal Pi reabsorption by regulating the expression of the NaPi-IIa and NaPi-IIc Pi transporters. Here, we aimed to clarify the role of several Pi-regulatory mechanisms including parathyroid hormone (PTH), fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) and inositol hexakisphosphate kinases (IP6-kinases) in the acute regulation of NaPi-IIa and NaPi-IIc. METHODS Wildtype (WT) and PTH-deficient mice (PTH-KO) with/without inhibition of FGF23 signalling were gavaged with Pi/saline and examined at 1, 4 and 12 h. RESULTS Pi-gavage elevated plasma Pi and decreased plasma Ca2+ in both genotypes after 1 h Within 1 h, Pi-gavage decreased NaPi-IIa abundance in WT and PTH-KO mice. NaPi-IIc was downregulated 1 h post-administration in WT and after 4 h in PTH-KO. PTH increased after 1 h in WT animals. After 4 h Pi-gavage, FGF23 increased in both genotypes being higher in the KO group. PTHrp and dopamine were not altered by Pi-gavage. Blocking FGF23 signalling blunted PTH upregulation in WT mice and reduced NaPi-IIa downregulation in PTH-KO mice 4 h after Pi-gavage. Inhibition of IP6-kinases had no effect. CONCLUSIONS (1) Acute downregulation of renal Pi transporters in response to Pi intake occurs also in the absence of PTH and FGF23 signalling, (2) when FGF23 signalling is blocked, a partial contribution of PTH is revealed, (3) IP6 kinases, intracellular Pi-sensors in yeast and bacteria, are not involved, and (4) Acute Pi does not alter PTHrp and dopamine. Thus, signals other than PTH, PTHrp, FGF23 and dopamine contribute to renal adaption.

Abstract
Kidneys, one of the vital organs in our body, are responsible for maintaining whole body homeostasis. The complexity of renal function (e.g., filtration, reabsorption, fluid and electrolyte regulation, and urine production) demands diversity not only at the level of cell types but also in their overall distribution and structural framework within the kidney. To gain an in depth molecular-level understanding of the renal system, it is imperative to discern the components of kidney and the types of cells residing in each of the subregions. Recent developments in labeling, tracing, and imaging techniques have enabled us to mark, monitor, and identify these cells in vivo with high efficiency in a minimally invasive manner. In this review, we summarize different cell types, specific markers that are uniquely associated with those cell types, and their distribution in the kidney, which altogether make kidneys so special and different. Cellular sorting based on the presence of certain proteins on the cell surface allowed for the assignment of multiple markers for each cell type. However, different studies using different techniques have found contradictions in cell type-specific markers. Thus, the term "cell marker" might be imprecise and suboptimal, leading to uncertainty when interpreting the data. Therefore, we strongly believe that there is an unmet need to define the best cell markers for a cell type. Although the compendium of renal-selective marker proteins presented in this review is a resource that may be useful to researchers, we acknowledge that the list may not be necessarily exhaustive.

Abstract
The mineral-bone axis is tightly regulated and dependent on renal function. In chronic kidney disease (CKD) progressive loss of renal capacity disrupts this axis over-time, with marked changes in circulating calcium, phosphate, PTH, and fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23). These changes contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease, like vascular calcification (VC), which worsens morbidity and mortality in CKD. Although the chronic changes in these circulating factors and their relationships are well known, no experimental studies have examined how the progressive development of CKD and VC alter the circadian rhythms of these factors. An adenine-induced experimental model of CKD in rats was used to establish (i) general circulating trends, (ii) if renal dysfunction affects these observed trends, and (iii) identify potential changes in these trends caused by VC. This study clearly discerned patterns of daily variations in circulating minerals and hormones, finding that both phosphate and PTH follow modelable diurnal variations whereas calcium and FGF-23 maintain relative stability over 24-hr. Surprisingly, the development of CKD was not sufficient to disrupt these patterns of diurnal variation and only altered the magnitude of change; however, it was found that the diurnal rhythms of circulating phosphate and daily stability of calcium were only significantly altered in the setting of CKD with established VC.

Abstract
Phosphate is an essential nutrient for life and is a critical component of bone formation, a major signaling molecule, and structural component of cell walls. Phosphate is also a component of high-energy compounds (i.e., AMP, ADP, and ATP) and essential for nucleic acid helical structure (i.e., RNA and DNA). Phosphate plays a central role in the process of mineralization, normal serum levels being associated with appropriate bone mineralization, while high and low serum levels are associated with soft tissue calcification. The serum concentration of phosphate and the total body content of phosphate are highly regulated, a process that is accomplished by the coordinated effort of two families of sodium-dependent transporter proteins. The three isoforms of the SLC34 family (SLC34A1-A3) show very restricted tissue expression and regulate intestinal absorption and renal excretion of phosphate. SLC34A2 also regulates the phosphate concentration in multiple lumen fluids including milk, saliva, pancreatic fluid, and surfactant. Both isoforms of the SLC20 family exhibit ubiquitous expression (with some variation as to which one or both are expressed), are regulated by ambient phosphate, and likely serve the phosphate needs of the individual cell. These proteins exhibit similarities to phosphate transporters in nonmammalian organisms. The proteins are nonredundant as mutations in each yield unique clinical presentations. Further research is essential to understand the function, regulation, and coordination of the various phosphate transporters, both the ones described in this review and the phosphate transporters involved in intracellular transport.

Abstract
The cloning of the renal NaPi-2a (SLC34A1) and NaPi-2c (SLC34A3) phosphate transporters has made it possible to characterize the molecular and biophysical regulation of renal proximal tubular reabsorption of inorganic phosphate (Pi). Dietary factors, such as Pi and K, and several hormones and phosphatonins, including parathyroid hormone (PTH), fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), and glucocorticoids, regulate the transporters through various transcriptional, translational, and post-translational mechanisms that involve acute trafficking via endocytosis or exocytosis, interactions with PDZ domain proteins, lipid microdomains, and diffusion and clustering in the apical brush border membrane. The visualization of these trafficking events by means of novel microscopy techniques that includes fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM), Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET), fluctuation correlation spectroscopy (FCS), and modulation tracking (MT), is the primary focus of this review.

Abstract
Inorganic phosphate (Pi) is an abundant element in the body and is essential for a wide variety of key biological processes. It plays an essential role in cellular energy metabolism and cell signalling, e.g. adenosine and guanosine triphosphates (ATP, GTP), and in the composition of phospholipid membranes and bone, and is an integral part of DNA and RNA. It is an important buffer in blood and urine and contributes to normal acid-base balance. Given its widespread role in almost every molecular and cellular function, changes in serum Pi levels and balance can have important and untoward effects. Pi homoeostasis is maintained by a counterbalance between dietary Pi absorption by the gut, mobilisation from bone and renal excretion. Approximately 85% of total body Pi is present in bone and only 1% is present as free Pi in extracellular fluids. In humans, extracellular concentrations of inorganic Pi vary between 0.8 and 1.2 mM, and in plasma or serum Pi exists in both its monovalent and divalent forms (H2PO4- and HPO42-). In the intestine, approximately 30% of Pi absorption is vitamin D regulated and dependent. To help maintain Pi balance, reabsorption of filtered Pi along the renal proximal tubule (PT) is via the NaPi-IIa and NaPi-IIc Na+-coupled Pi cotransporters, with a smaller contribution from the PiT-2 transporters. Endocrine factors, including, vitamin D and parathyroid hormone (PTH), as well as newer factors such as fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-23 and its coreceptor α-klotho, are intimately involved in the control of Pi homeostasis. A tight regulation of Pi is critical, since hyperphosphataemia is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hypophosphataemia with rickets and growth retardation. This short review considers the control of Pi balance by vitamin D, PTH and Pi itself, with an emphasis on the insights gained from human genetic disorders and genetically modified mouse models.

Abstract
NaPi-IIb/Slc34a2 is a Na+-dependent phosphate transporter that accounts for the majority of active phosphate transport into intestinal epithelial cells. Its abundance is regulated by dietary phosphate, being high during dietary phosphate restriction. Intestinal ablation of NaPi-IIb in mice leads to increased fecal excretion of phosphate, which is compensated by enhanced renal reabsorption. Here we compared the adaptation to dietary phosphate of wild type (WT) and NaPi-IIb−/− mice. High phosphate diet (HPD) increased fecal and urinary excretion of phosphate in both groups, though NaPi-IIb−/− mice still showed lower urinary excretion than WT. In both genotypes low dietary phosphate (LDP) resulted in reduced fecal excretion and almost undetectable urinary excretion of phosphate. Consistently, the expression of renal cotransporters after prolonged LDP was similar in both groups. Plasma phosphate declined more rapidly in NaPi-IIb−/− mice upon LDP, though both genotypes had comparable levels of 1,25(OH)2vitamin D3, parathyroid hormone and fibroblast growth factor 23. Instead, NaPi-IIb−/− mice fed LDP had exacerbated hypercalciuria, higher urinary excretion of corticosterone and deoxypyridinoline, lower bone mineral density and higher number of osteoclasts. These data suggest that during dietary phosphate restriction NaPi-IIb-mediated intestinal absorption prevents excessive demineralization of bone as an alternative source of phosphate.

Abstract
NEW FINDINGS What is the central question of this study? Does a previously hypothesized signalling mechanism, believed to detect postprandial increases in intestinal phosphate and that can stimulate the kidneys to rapidly excrete phosphate, operate under physiological conditions? What is the main finding and its importance? Contrary to earlier reports, rapid signalling between the small intestine and kidney mediated by a gut-derived phosphaturic factor in response to a physiological intestinal phosphate load is not supported by the present findings; moreover, hyperphosphataemia and increased parathyroid hormone concentrations are likely to be the underlying factors responsible for the phosphaturia following a supraphysiological intestinal phosphate load. To date, the role of the small intestine in the regulation of postprandial phosphate homeostasis has remained unclear and controversial. Previous studies have proposed the presence of a gut-derived phosphaturic factor that acts independently of changes in plasma phosphate concentration or parathyroid hormone (PTH) concentration; however, these early studies used duodenal luminal phosphate concentrations in the molar range, and therefore, the physiological relevance of this is uncertain. In the present study, we used both in vivo and in vitro approaches to investigate the presence of this putative 'intestinal phosphatonin'. Instillation of 1.3 m phosphate into the duodenum rapidly induced phosphaturia, but in contrast to previous reports, this was associated with significant hyperphosphataemia and elevated PTH concentration; however, there was not the expected decrease in abundance of the renal sodium-phosphate cotransporter NaPi-IIa. Instillation of a physiological (10 mm) phosphate load had no effect on plasma phosphate concentration, PTH concentration or phosphate excretion. Moreover, phosphate uptake by opossum kidney cells was unaffected after incubation with serosal fluid collected from intestinal segments perfused with different concentrations of phosphate. Taken together, these findings do not support the concept of a gut-derived phosphaturic factor that can mediate rapid signalling between the gut and kidney, leading to increased urinary phosphate excretion, as part of normal phosphate homeostasis.

Phosphorus (P) is of vital importance for many aspects of metabolism, including bone mineralization, blood buffering, and energy utilization. In order to identify molecular routes affecting intrinsic P utilization, we address processes covering P intake, uptake, metabolism, and excretion. In particular, the interrelation of bone tissue and immune features is of interest to approximate P intake to animal's physiology and health status. German Landrace piglets received different levels of digestible phosphorus: recommended, higher, or lower amounts. At multiple time points, relevant serum parameters were analyzed and radiologic studies on bone characteristics were performed. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were collected to assess differential gene expression. Dietary differences were reflected by serum phosphorus, calcium, parathyroid hormone, and vitamin D. Bone reorganization was persistently affected as shown by microstructural parameters, cathepsin K levels, and transcripts associated with bone formation. Moreover, blood expression patterns revealed a link to immune response, highlighting bidirectional loops comprising bone formation and immune features, where the receptor-activator of NF-κB ligand/receptor-activator of NF-κB kinase system may play a prominent role. The modulated P supplementation provoked considerable organismal plasticity. Genes found to be differentially expressed due to variable P supply are involved in pathways relevant to P utilization and are potential candidate genes for improved P efficiency.

Abstract
Na+/H+ exchanger regulatory factor (NHERF1) plays a critical role in the renal transport of phosphate by binding to Na+-Pi cotransporter (NpT2a) in the proximal tubule. While the association between NpT2a and NHERF1 in the apical membrane is known, the role of NHERF1 to regulate the trafficking of NpT2a has not been studied. To address this question, we performed cell fractionation by sucrose gradient centrifugation in opossum kidney (OK) cells placed in low-Pi medium to stimulate forward trafficking of NpT2a. Immunoblot analysis demonstrated expression of NpT2a and NHERF1 in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)/Golgi. Coimmunoprecipitation demonstrated a NpT2a-NHERF1 interaction in the ER/Golgi. Low-Pi medium for 4 and 8 h triggered a decrease in NHERF1 in the plasma membrane with a corresponding increase in the ER/Golgi. Time-lapse total internal reflection fluorescence imaging of OK cells placed in low-Pi medium, paired with particle tracking and mean square displacement analysis, indicated active directed movement of NHERF1 at early and late time points, whereas NpT2a showed active movement only at later times. Silence of NHERF1 in OK cells expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP)-NpT2a resulted in an intracellular accumulation of GFP-NpT2a. Transfection with GFP-labeled COOH-terminal (TRL) PDZ-binding motif deleted or wild-type NpT2a in OK cells followed by cell fractionation and immunoprecipitation confirmed that the interaction between NpT2a and NHERF1 was dependent on the TRL motif of NpT2a. We conclude that appropriate trafficking of NpT2a to the plasma membrane is dependent on the initial association between NpT2a and NHERF1 through the COOH-terminal TRL motif of NpT2a in the ER/Golgi and requires redistribution of NHERF1 to the ER/Golgi.

Abstract
The SLC34 family of sodium-driven phosphate cotransporters comprises three members: NaPi-IIa (SLC34A1), NaPi-IIb (SLC34A2), and NaPi-IIc (SLC34A3). These transporters mediate the translocation of divalent inorganic phosphate (HPO4 (2-)) together with two (NaPi-IIc) or three sodium ions (NaPi-IIa and NaPi-IIb), respectively. Consequently, phosphate transport by NaPi-IIa and NaPi-IIb is electrogenic. NaPi-IIa and NaPi-IIc are predominantly expressed in the brush border membrane of the proximal tubule, whereas NaPi-IIb is found in many more organs including the small intestine, lung, liver, and testis. The abundance and activity of these transporters are mostly regulated by changes in their expression at the cell surface and are determined by interactions with proteins involved in scaffolding, trafficking, or intracellular signaling. All three transporters are highly regulated by factors including dietary phosphate status, hormones like parathyroid hormone, 1,25-OH2 vitamin D3 or FGF23, electrolyte, and acid-base status. The physiological relevance of the three members of the SLC34 family is underlined by rare Mendelian disorders causing phosphaturia, hypophosphatemia, or ectopic organ calcifications.

Abstract
The uriniferous tubule is divided into the proximal tubule, the intermediate (thin) tubule, the distal tubule and the collecting duct. The present chapter is based on the chapters by Maunsbach and Christensen on the proximal tubule, and by Kaissling and Kriz on the distal tubule and collecting duct in the 1992 edition of the Handbook of Physiology, Renal Physiology. It describes the fine structure (light and electron microscopy) of the entire mammalian uriniferous tubule, mainly in rats, mice, and rabbits. The structural data are complemented by recent data on the location of the major transport- and transport-regulating proteins, revealed by morphological means(immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, and/or mRNA in situ hybridization). The structural differences along the uriniferous tubule strictly coincide with the distribution of the major luminal and basolateral transport proteins and receptors and both together provide the basis for the subdivision of the uriniferous tubule into functional subunits. Data on structural adaptation to defined functional changes in vivo and to genetical alterations of specified proteins involved in transepithelial transport importantly deepen our comprehension of the correlation of structure and function in the kidney, of the role of each segment or cell type in the overall renal function,and our understanding of renal pathophysiology.

The phosphate transporter NaPi-IIa determines the rapid renal adaptation to dietary phosphate intake in mouse irrespective of persistently high FGF23 levels. Pflugers Arch 2013; 465:1557-72.

Abstract
Renal reabsorption of inorganic phosphate (Pi) is mediated by the phosphate transporters NaPi-IIa, NaPi-IIc, and Pit-2 in the proximal tubule brush border membrane (BBM). Dietary Pi intake regulates these transporters; however, the contribution of the specific isoforms to the rapid and slow phase is not fully clarified. Moreover, the regulation of PTH and FGF23, two major phosphaturic hormones, during the adaptive phase has not been correlated. C57/BL6 and NaPi-IIa(-/-) mice received 5 days either 1.2 % (HPD) or 0.1 % (LPD) Pi-containing diets. Thereafter, some mice were acutely switched to LPD or HPD. Plasma Pi concentrations were similar under chronic diets, but lower when mice were acutely switched to LPD. Urinary Pi excretion was similar in C57/BL6 and NaPi-IIa(-/-) mice under HPD. During chronic LPD, NaPi-IIa(-/-) mice lost phosphate in urine compensated by higher intestinal Pi absorption. During the acute HPD-to-LPD switch, NaPi-IIa(-/-) mice exhibited a delayed decrease in urinary Pi excretion. PTH was acutely regulated by low dietary Pi intake. FGF23 did not respond to low Pi intake within 8 h whereas the phospho-adaptator protein FRS2α necessary for FGF-receptor cell signaling was downregulated. BBM Pi transport activity and NaPi-IIa but not NaPi-IIc and Pit-2 abundance acutely adapted to diets in C57/BL6 mice. In NaPi-IIa(-/-), Pi transport activity was low and did not adapt. Thus, NaPi-IIa mediates the fast adaptation to Pi intake and is upregulated during the adaptation to low Pi despite persistently high FGF23 levels. The sensitivity to FGF23 may be regulated by adapting FRS2α abundance and phosphorylation.

Inorganic phosphate modulates the expression of the NaPi-2a transporter in the trans-Golgi network and the interaction with PIST in the proximal tubule.

Abstract
Inorganic phosphate (Pi) homeostasis is maintained by the tight regulation of renal Pi excretion versus reabsorption rates that are in turn modulated by adjusting the number of Pi transporters (mainly NaPi-2a) in the proximal tubules. In response to some hormones and a high dietary Pi content, NaPi-2a is endocytosed and degraded in the lysosomes; however, we show here that some NaPi-2a molecules are targeted to the trans-Golgi network (TGN) during the endocytosis. In the TGN, NaPi-2a interacts with PIST (PDZ-domain protein interacting specifically with TC10), a TGN-resident PDZ-domain-containing protein. The extension of the interaction is proportional to the expression of NaPi-2a in the TGN, and, consistent with that, it is increased with a high Pi diet. When overexpressed in opossum kidney (OK) cells, PIST retains NaPi-2a in the TGN and inhibits Na-dependent Pi transport. Overexpression of PIST also prevents the adaptation of OK cells to a low Pi culture medium. Our data supports the view that NaPi-2a is subjected to retrograde trafficking from the plasma membrane to the TGN using one of the machineries involved in endosomal transport and explains the reported expression of NaPi-2a in the TGN.

Abstract
The mechanism by which phosphorus levels are maintained in the body was investigated by analyzing changes in gene expression in the rat kidney following administration of a high phosphorus (HP) diet. Male Wistar rats were divided into two groups and fed a diet containing 0.3% (control) or 1.2% (HP) phosphorous for 24 days. Phosphorous retention was not significantly increased in HP rats, but fractional excretion of phosphorus was significantly increased in the HP group compared to controls, with an excessive amount of the ingested phosphorus being passed through the body. DNA microarray analysis of kidney tissue from both groups revealed changes in gene expression profile induced by a HP diet. Among the genes that were upregulated, Gene Ontology (GO) terms related to ossification, collagen fibril organization, and inflammation and immune response were significantly enriched. In particular, there was significant upregulation of type IIb sodium-dependent phosphate transporter (NaPi-IIb) in the HP rat kidney compared to control rats. This upregulation was confirmed by in situ hybridization. Distinct signals for NaPi-IIb in both the cortex and medulla of the kidney were apparent in the HP group, while the corresponding signals were much weaker in the control group. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that NaPi-IIb localized to the basolateral side of kidney epithelial cells surrounding the urinary duct in HP rats but not in control animals. These data suggest that NaPi-IIb is upregulated in the kidney in response to the active excretion of phosphate in HP diet-fed rats.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Total body phosphate homeostasis is regulated by expression of type IIa sodium phosphate cotransporter (NpT2a) in the apical membrane (BBM) of renal proximal tubule cells. NpT2a expression is regulated by dietary phosphate and PTH but the mechanisms for trafficking of the protein are unknown. Based on 2D gel electrophoresis and mass spectroscopy data that changes in dietary phosphate stimulated changes in BBM expression of vacuolar H(+)-ATPase, we hypothesized that vacuolar H(+)-ATPase plays a significant role in regulation of NpT2a in opossum kidney (OK) cells, a model for renal proximal tubule transport. METHODS Role of vacuolar H(+)-ATPase was studied in opossum kidney (OK) cells by examining the effect of inhibition of vacuolar H(+)-ATPase on Pi uptake and NpT2a expression. RESULTS Pretreatment of OK cells with bafilomycin A(1) and concanamycin A, inhibitors of vacuolar H(+)-ATPases, blocked high phosphate- and PTH-induced degradation of NpT2a, but had no effect on high phosphate or PTH induced inhibition of sodium-dependent phosphate transport. Exposure of the cells to bafilomycin A(1) significantly decreased phosphate transport and apical membrane expression of NpT2a. Treatment with brefeldin A, an inhibitor of Golgi transport, decreased phosphate transport and apical membrane expression of NpT2a while treatment of cells with both brefeldin A and bafilomycin A(1) had no additive effect. CONCLUSION We conclude that vacuolar H(+)-ATPase plays a significant role in exocytosis of NpT2a into the apical membrane and in degradation of NpT2a but has no role in endocytosis.

Abstract
The sodium-dependent phosphate (Na/P(i)) transporters NaPi-2a and NaPi-2c play a major role in the renal reabsorption of P(i). The functional need for several transporters accomplishing the same role is still not clear. However, the fact that these transporters show differential regulation under dietary and hormonal stimuli suggests different roles in P(i) reabsorption. The pathways controlling this differential regulation are still unknown, but one of the candidates involved is the NHERF family of scaffolding PDZ proteins. We propose that differences in the molecular interaction with PDZ proteins are related with the differential adaptation of Na/P(i) transporters. Pdzk1(-/-) mice adapted to chronic low P(i) diets showed an increased expression of NaPi-2a protein in the apical membrane of proximal tubules but impaired up-regulation of NaPi-2c. These results suggest an important role for PDZK1 in the stabilization of NaPi-2c in the apical membrane. We studied the specific protein-protein interactions of Na/P(i) transporters with NHERF-1 and PDZK1 by FRET. FRET measurements showed a much stronger interaction of NHERF-1 with NaPi-2a than with NaPi-2c. However, both Na/P(i) transporters showed similar FRET efficiencies with PDZK1. Interestingly, in cells adapted to low P(i) concentrations, there were increases in NaPi-2c/PDZK1 and NaPi-2a/NHERF-1 interactions. The differential affinity of the Na/P(i) transporters for NHERF-1 and PDZK1 proteins could partially explain their differential regulation and/or stability in the apical membrane. In this regard, direct interaction between NaPi-2c and PDZK1 seems to play an important role in the physiological regulation of NaPi-2c.

Abstract
The current experiments explore the role of dopamine in facilitating the acute increase in renal phosphate excretion in response to a high-phosphate diet. Compared with a low-phosphate (0.1%) diet for 24 h, mice fed a high-phosphate (1.2%) diet had significantly higher rates of phosphate excretion in the urine associated with a two- to threefold increase in the dopamine content of the kidney and in the urinary excretion of dopamine. Animals fed a high-phosphate diet had a significant increase in the abundance and activity of renal DOPA (l-dihydroxyphenylalanine) decarboxylase and significant reductions in renalase, monoamine oxidase A, and monoamine oxidase B. The activity of protein kinase A and protein kinase C, markers of activation of renal dopamine receptors, were significantly higher in animals fed a high-phosphate vs. a low-phosphate diet. Treatment of rats with carbidopa, an inhibitor of DOPA decarboxylase, impaired adaptation to a high-phosphate diet. These experiments indicate that the rapid adaptation to a high-phosphate diet involves alterations in key enzymes involved in dopamine synthesis and degradation, resulting in increased renal dopamine content and activation of the signaling cascade used by dopamine to inhibit the renal tubular reabsorption of phosphate.

Abstract
Serum phosphate levels are acutely impacted by the abundance of sodium-phosphate cotransporter IIa (NaPiIIa) in the apical membrane of renal proximal tubule cells. PSD-95/Disks Large/Zonula Occludens (PDZ) domain-containing proteins bind NaPiIIa and likely contribute to the delivery, retention, recovery, and trafficking of NaPiIIa. Shank2 is a distinctive PDZ domain protein that binds NaPiIIa. Its role in regulating NaPiIIa activity, distribution, and abundance is unknown. In the present in vivo study, rats were maintained on a low-phosphate diet, and then plasma phosphate levels were acutely elevated by high-phosphate feeding to induce the recovery, endocytosis, and degradation of NaPiIIa. Western blot analysis of renal cortical tissue from rats given high-phosphate feed showed NaPiIIa and Shank2 underwent degradation. Quantitative immunofluorescence analyses, including microvillar versus intracellular intensity ratios and intensity correlation quotients, showed that Shank2 redistributed with NaPiIIa during the time course of NaPiIIa endocytosis. Furthermore, NaPiIIa and Shank2 trafficked through distinct endosomal compartments (clathrin, early endosomes, lysosomes) with the same temporal pattern. These in vivo findings indicate that Shank2 is positioned to coordinate the regulated endocytic retrieval and downregulation of NaPiIIa in rat renal proximal tubule cells.

Abstract
There are a number of hypophosphatemic disorders due to renal phosphate wasting that cannot be explained by elevated levels of parathyroid hormone. The circulating factors responsible for the phosphaturia have been designated as phosphatonins. Studies of patients with tumor-induced osteomalacia and other genetic diseases of phosphate metabolism have resulted in the identification of a number of hormones that regulate phosphate homeostasis, including matrix extracellular phosphoglycoprotein (MEPE), secreted frizzled-related protein 4 (sFRP-4), dentin matrix protein 1 (DMP1), fibroblast growth factor 7 (FGF7), fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), and Klotho. Our understanding of the actions of these hypophosphatemic peptides has been enhanced by studies in mice either overexpressing or not expressing these hormones. This review focuses on FGF23 since its regulation is disordered in diseases that affect children, such as X-linked hypophosphatemia, autosomal dominant and recessive hypophosphatemic rickets as well as chronic kidney disease. Recent studies have shown that FGF23 is unique among the FGFs in its requirement for Klotho for receptor activation. Here, we also discuss new potentially clinically important data pointing to the receptor(s) that mediate the binding and action of FGF23 and Klotho.

Abstract
We have recently shown that the abundance of the renal sodium (Na)/inorganic phosphate (Pi) cotransporter NaPi-IIa is increased in the absence of the GABA(A) receptor-associated protein (GABARAP). Accordingly, GABARAP-deficient mice have a reduced urinary excretion of Pi. However, their circulating levels of Pi do not differ from wild-type animals, suggesting the presence of a compensatory mechanism responsible for keeping serum Pi values constant. Here, we aimed first to identify the molecular basis of this compensation by analyzing the expression of Na/Pi cotransporters known to be expressed in the kidney and intestine. We found that, in the kidney, the upregulation of NaPi-IIa is not accompanied by changes on the expression of either NaPi-IIc or PiT2, the other cotransporters known to participate in renal Pi reabsorption. In contrast, the intestinal expression of NaPi-IIb is downregulated in mutant animals, suggesting that a reduced intestinal absorption of Pi could contribute to maintain a normophosphatemic status despite the increased renal retention. The second goal of this work was to study whether the alterations on the expression of NaPi-IIa induced by chronic dietary Pi are impaired in the absence of GABARAP. Our data indicate that, in response to high Pi diets, GABARAP-deficient mice downregulate the expression of NaPi-IIa to levels comparable to those seen in wild-type animals. However, in response to low Pi diets, the upregulation of NaPi-IIa is greater in the mutant mice. Thus, both the basal expression and the dietary-induced upregulation of NaPi-IIa are increased in the absence of GABARAP.

Abstract
The role of four Pi transporters in the renal handling of Pi was analyzed using functional and molecular methods. The abundance of NaPi-IIa, NaPi-IIc, and Pit-2 was increased by 100% in kidney from rats on a 0.1% Pi diet, compared to a 0.6% Pi diet. Pit-1 was not modified. Type II-mediated Pi uptake in Xenopus oocytes increased as the pH of the uptake medium increased, and the opposite occurred with Pit-1 and Pit-2. At pH 6.0, Pi uptake mediated through type II was approximately 10% of the uptake at pH 7.5, but the uptake through Pit-2 was 250% of the activity at pH 7.5. Real brush-border membrane vesicles (BBMV) responded to pH changes following the same pattern as type II transporters. Adaptation to a 0.1% Pi diet was accompanied by a 65% increase in the V (max) of BBMV Pi transport at pH 7.5, compared to a 0.6% Pi diet. The increase was only 11% at pH 6.0. Metabolic acidosis increased the expression of NaPi-IIc and Pit-2 in animals adapted to a low Pi diet, and phosphaturia was only observed in control diet animals. The combination of the pH effect, Pi adaptation, and metabolic acidosis suggests very modest involvement of Pit-2 in renal Pi handling. Real-time PCR and mathematical analyses of transport findings suggest that NaPi-IIa RNA accounts for 95% of all Pi transporters and that type II handles 97% of Pi transport at pH 7.5 and 60% of Pi transport at pH 6.0, depending on the pH and the physiological conditions.

Abstract
The main nonhormonal mechanism for controlling inorganic phosphate (Pi) homeostasis is renal adaptation of the proximal tubular Pitransport rate to changes in dietary phosphate content. Opossum kidney (OK) cell line is an in vitro renal model that maintains the ability of renal adaptation to the extracellular Piconcentration. We have studied how two competitive inhibitors of Pitransport, arsenate [As(V)] and phosphonoformate (PFA), affect adaptation to low and high Piconcentrations. OK cells show very high affinity for As(V) (inhibitory constant, Ki0.12 mM) when compared with the rat kidney. As(V) very efficiently reversed the adaptation of OK cells to low Pi(0.1 mM), whereas PFA induced adaptation similar to 0.1 mM Pi. Adaptation with 2 mM Pior As(V) was characterized by decreases in the maximal velociy ( Vmax) of Pitransport and an abundance of the NaPi-IIa Pitransporter in the plasma membrane, shown by the protein biotinylation. Conversely, PFA and 0.1 mM Piincreased the Vmaxand transporter abundance. Changes in the Vmaxwere limited to a 50% variation, which was not paralleled by changes in the concentration of Pior of the inhibitor. OK cells are very sensitive to As(V), but the effects are reversible and noncytotoxic. These effects can be interpreted as As(V) being transported into the cell, thereby mimicking a high Piconcentration. PFA blocks the uptake of Pibut is not transported, and it therefore simulates a low Piconcentration inside the cell. To conclude, a mathematical definition of the adaptation process is reported, thereby explaining the limited changes in Pitransport Vmax.

Abstract
Renal reabsorption of inorganic phosphate (P(i)) is mainly mediated by the Na(+)-dependent P(i)-cotransporter NaPi-IIa that is expressed in the brush-border membrane (BBM) of renal proximal tubules. Regulation and apical expression of NaPi-IIa are known to depend on a network of interacting proteins. Most of the interacting partners identified so far associate with the COOH-terminal PDZ-binding motif (TRL) of NaPi-IIa. In this study GABA(A) receptor-associated protein (GABARAP) was identified as a novel interacting partner of NaPi-IIa applying a membrane yeast-two-hybrid system (MYTH 2.0) to screen a mouse kidney library with the TRL-truncated cotransporter as bait. GABARAP mRNA and protein are present in renal tubules, and the interaction of NaPi-IIa and GABARAP was confirmed by using glutathione S-transferase pulldowns from BBM and coimmunoprecipitations from transfected HEK293 cells. Amino acids 36-68 of GABARAP were identified as the determinant for the described interaction. The in vivo effects of this interaction were studied in a murine model. GABARAP(-/-) mice have reduced urinary excretion of P(i), higher Na(+)-dependent (32)P(i) uptake in BBM vesicles, and increased expression of NaPi-IIa in renal BBM compared with GABARAP(+/+) mice. The expression of Na(+)/H(+) exchanger regulatory factor (NHERF)1, an important scaffold for the apical expression of NaPi-IIa, is also increased in GABARAP(-/-) mice. The absence of GABARAP does not interfere with the regulation of the cotransporter by either parathyroid hormone or acute changes of dietary P(i) content.

Abstract
The principal mediators of renal phosphate (P(i)) reabsorption are the SLC34 family proteins NaPi-IIa and NaPi-IIc, localized to the proximal tubule (PT) apical membrane. Their abundance is regulated by circulatory factors and dietary P(i). Although their physiological importance has been confirmed in knockout animal studies, significant P(i) reabsorptive capacity remains, which suggests the involvement of other secondary-active P(i) transporters along the nephron. Here we show that a member of the SLC20 gene family (PiT-2) is localized to the brush-border membrane (BBM) of the PT epithelia and that its abundance, confirmed by Western blot and immunohistochemistry of rat kidney slices, is regulated by dietary P(i). In rats treated chronically on a high-P(i) (1.2%) diet, there was a marked decrease in the apparent abundance of PiT-2 protein in kidney slices compared with those from rats kept on a chronic low-P(i) (0.1%) diet. In Western blots of BBM from rats that were switched from a chronic low- to high-P(i) diet, NaPi-IIa showed rapid downregulation after 2 h; PiT-2 was also significantly downregulated at 24 h and NaPi-IIc after 48 h. For the converse dietary regime, NaPi-IIa showed adaptation within 8 h, whereas PiT-2 and NaPi-IIc showed a slower adaptive trend. Our findings suggest that PiT-2, until now considered as a ubiquitously expressed P(i) housekeeping transporter, is a novel mediator of P(i) reabsorption in the PT under conditions of acute P(i) deprivation, but with a different adaptive time course from NaPi-IIa and NaPi-IIc.

Abstract
Inorganic phosphate (P(i)) is abundant in cells and tissues as an important component of nucleic acids and phospholipids, a source of high-energy bonds in nucleoside triphosphates, a substrate for kinases and phosphatases, and a regulator of intracellular signaling. The majority of the body's P(i) exists in the mineralized matrix of bones and teeth. Systemic P(i) metabolism is regulated by a cast of hormones, phosphatonins, and other factors via the bone-kidney-intestine axis. Mineralization in bones and teeth is in turn affected by homeostasis of P(i) and inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi), with further regulation of the P(i)/PP(i) ratio by cellular enzymes and transporters. Much has been learned by analyzing the molecular basis for changes in mineralized tissue development in mutant and knock-out mice with altered P(i) metabolism. This review focuses on factors regulating systemic and local P(i) homeostasis and their known and putative effects on the hard tissues of the oral cavity. By understanding the role of P(i) metabolism in the development and maintenance of the oral mineralized tissues, it will be possible to develop improved regenerative approaches.

Abstract
In the kidney, ∼80% of the filtered phosphate (Pi) is reabsorbed along the proximal tubule. Changes in renal Pireabsorption are associated with modulation of the sodium-dependent Picotransporter type IIa (NaPi-IIa) and type IIc (NaPi-IIc) protein abundance in the brush-border membrane (BBM) of proximal tubule cells. NaPi-IIa is mainly regulated by dietary Piintake and parathyroid hormone (PTH). The purpose of the present study was to elucidate the effect of alteration in dietary magnesium (Mg2+) intake on renal Pihandling. Urinary Piexcretion and renal expression of NaPi-IIa and NaPi-IIc were analyzed in rats fed a normal (0.2%) or high-Mg2+(2.5%) diet. A high-Mg2+diet resulted in decreased renal Piexcretion and increased protein expression of NaPi-IIa and NaPi-IIc. Serum FGF-23 (fibroblast growth factor 23) levels were unchanged under a high-Mg2+diet. Serum PTH levels were slightly decreased under a high-Mg2+diet. To examine whether the observed changes in renal Pireabsorption are PTH dependent, expression of NaPi-IIa and NaPi-IIc was also analyzed in parathyroidectomized (PTX) rats fed a normal or high-Mg2+diet. In PTX rats, Mg2+had no significant effect on renal Piexcretion or NaPi-IIa protein expression. Mg2+increased NaPi-IIc protein expression in PTX rats. This experiment shows for the first time on the molecular level how Mg2+stimulates renal Pireabsorption. Under a high-Mg2+diet, NaPi-IIa expression is dependent on PTH levels, whereas NaPi-IIc expression seems to be independent of PTH levels.

Abstract
During metabolic acidosis (MA), urinary phosphate excretion increases and contributes to acid removal. Two Na(+)-dependent phosphate transporters, NaPi-IIa (Slc34a1) and NaPi-IIc (Slc34a3), are located in the brush border membrane (BBM) of the proximal tubule and mediate renal phosphate reabsorption. Transcriptome analysis of kidneys from acid-loaded mice revealed a large decrease in NaPi-IIc messenger RNA (mRNA) and a smaller reduction in NaPi-IIa mRNA abundance. To investigate the contribution of transporter regulation to phosphaturia during MA, we examined renal phosphate transporters in normal and Slc34a1-gene ablated (NaPi-IIa KO) mice acid-loaded for 2 and 7 days. In normal mice, urinary phosphate excretion was transiently increased after 2 days of acid loading, whereas no change was found in Slc34a1-/- mice. BBM Na/Pi cotransport activity was progressively and significantly decreased in acid-loaded KO mice, whereas in WT animals, a small increase after 2 days of treatment was seen. Acidosis increased BBM NaPi-IIa abundance in WT mice and NaPi-IIc abundance in WT and KO animals. mRNA abundance of NaPi-IIa and NaPi-IIc decreased during MA. Immunohistochemistry did not indicate any change in the localization of NaPi-IIa and NaPi-IIc along the nephron. Interestingly, mRNA abundance of both Slc20 phosphate transporters, Pit1 and Pit2, was elevated after 7 days of MA in normal and KO mice. These data demonstrate that phosphaturia during acidosis is not caused by reduced protein expression of the major Na/Pi cotransporters NaPi-IIa and NaPi-IIc and suggest a direct inhibitory effect of low pH mainly on NaPi-IIa. Our data also suggest that Pit1 and Pit2 transporters may play a compensatory role.

Abstract
Direct phosphorylation of sodium hydrogen exchanger type 3 (NHE3) is a well-established physiological phenomenon; however, the exact role of NHE3 phosphorylation in its regulation remains unclear. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether NHE3 phosphorylation at serines 552 and 605 is physiologically regulated in vivo and, if so, whether changes in phosphorylation at these sites are tightly coupled to changes in transport activity. To this end, we directly compared PKA-induced NHE3 inhibition with site-specific changes in NHE3 phosphorylation in vivo and in vitro. In vivo, PKA was activated using an intravenous infusion of parathyroid hormone in Sprague-Dawley rats. In vitro, PKA was activated directly in opossum kidney (OKP) cells using forskolin and IBMX. NHE3 activity was assayed in microvillar membrane vesicles in the rat model and by 22Na uptake in the OKP cell model. In both cases, NHE3 phosphorylation at serines 552 and 605 was determined using previously characterized monoclonal phosphospecific antibodies directed to these sites. In vivo, we found dramatic changes in NHE3 phosphorylation at serines 552 and 605 with PKA activation but no corresponding alteration in NHE3 activity. This dissociation between NHE3 phosphorylation and activity was further verified in OKP cells in which phosphorylation clearly preceded transport inhibition. We conclude that although phosphorylation of NHE3 at serines 552 and 605 is regulated by PKA both in vivo and in vitro, phosphorylation of these sites does not directly alter Na+/H+ exchange activity.

Abstract
Background CLIC1 is a chloride channel whose cellular role remains uncertain. The distribution of CLIC1 in normal tissues is largely unknown and conflicting data have been reported regarding the cellular membrane fraction in which CLIC1 resides. Results New antisera to CLIC1 were generated and were found to be sensitive and specific for detecting this protein. These antisera were used to investigate the distribution of CLIC1 in mouse tissue sections and three cultured cell lines. We find CLIC1 is expressed in the apical domains of several simple columnar epithelia including glandular stomach, small intestine, colon, bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, airway, and the tail of the epididymis, in addition to the previously reported renal proximal tubule. CLIC1 is expressed in a non-polarized distribution in the basal epithelial cell layer of the stratified squamous epithelium of the upper gastrointesitinal tract and the basal cells of the epididymis, and is present diffusely in skeletal muscle. Distribution of CLIC1 was examined in Panc1 cells, a relatively undifferentiated, non-polarized human cell line derived from pancreatic cancer, and T84 cells, a human colon cancer cell line which can form a polarized epithelium that is capable of regulated chloride transport. Digitonin extraction was used to distinguish membrane-inserted CLIC1 from the soluble cytoplasmic form of the protein. We find that digitonin-resistant CLIC1 is primarily present in the plasma membrane of Panc1 cells. In T84 cells, we find digitonin-resistant CLIC1 is present in an intracellular compartment which is concentrated immediately below the apical plasma membrane and the extent of apical polarization is enhanced with forskolin, which activates transepithelial chloride transport and apical membrane traffic in these cells. The sub-apical CLIC1 compartment was further characterized in a well-differentiated mouse renal proximal tubule cell line. The distribution of CLIC1 was found to overlap that of megalin and the sodium-phosphate cotransporter, NaPi-II, which are markers of the apical endocytic/recycling compartment in proximal tubule. Conclusion The cell and tissue specific patterns of CLIC1 expression suggest it may play distinct roles in different cell types. In certain polarized columnar epithelia, it may play a role in apical membrane recycling.

Abstract
Phosphate reabsorption in the renal proximal tubule occurs mostly via the type IIa Na(+)-phosphate cotransporter (NaP(i)-IIa) in the brush border membrane (BBM). The activity and localization of NaP(i)-IIa are regulated, among other factors, by parathyroid hormone (PTH). NaP(i)-IIa interacts in vitro via its last three COOH-terminal amino acids with the PDZ protein Na(+)/H(+)-exchanger isoform 3 regulatory factor (NHERF)-1 (NHERF1). Renal phosphate reabsorption in Nherf1-deficient mice is altered, and NaP(i)-IIa expression in the BBM is reduced. In addition, it has been proposed that NHERF1 and NHERF2 are important for the coupling of PTH receptors (PTHRs) to phospholipase C (PLC) and the activation of the protein kinase C pathway. We tested the role of NHERF1 in the regulation of NaP(i)-IIa by PTH in Nherf1-deficient mice. Immunohistochemistry and Western blotting demonstrated that stimulation of apical and basolateral receptors with PTH-(1-34) led to internalization of NaP(i)-IIa in wild-type and Nherf1-deficient mice. Stimulation of only apical receptors with PTH-(3-34) failed to induce internalization in Nherf1-deficient mice. Expression and localization of apical PTHRs were similar in wild-type and Nherf1-deficient mice. Activation of the protein kinase C- and A-dependent pathways with 1,2-dioctanoyl-sn-glycerol or 8-bromo-cAMP induced normal internalization of NaP(i)-IIa in wild-type, as well as Nherf1-deficient, mice. Stimulation of PLC activity due to apical PTHRs was impaired in Nherf1-deficient mice. These data suggest that NHERF1 in the proximal tubule is important for PTH-induced internalization of NaP(i)-IIa and, specifically, couples the apical PTHR to PLC.

Abstract
The function of the NaPiIIa renal sodium-phosphate transporter is regulated through a complex network of interacting proteins. Several PDZ domain-containing proteins interact with its COOH terminus while the small membrane protein MAP17 interacts with its NH(2) end. To elucidate the function of MAP17, we identified its interacting proteins using both bacterial and mammalian two-hybrid systems. Several PDZ domain-containing proteins, including the four NHERF proteins, as well as NaPiIIa and NHE3, were found to bind to MAP17. The interactions of MAP17 with the NHERF proteins and with NaPiIIa were further analyzed in opossum kidney (OK) cells. Expression of MAP17 alone had no effect on the NaPiIIa apical membrane distribution, but coexpression of MAP17 and NHERF3 or NHERF4 induced internalization of NaPiIIa, MAP17, and the PDZ protein to the trans-Golgi network (TGN). This effect was not observed when MAP17 was cotransfected with NHERF1/2 proteins. Inhibition of protein kinase C (PKC) prevented expression of the three proteins in the TGN. Activation of PKC in OK cells transfected only with MAP17 induced complete degradation of MAP17 and NaPiIIa. When lysosomal degradation was prevented, both proteins accumulated in the TGN. When the dopamine D1-like receptor was activated with fenoldopam, both NaPiIIa and MAP17 also accumulated in the TGN. Finally, cotransfection of MAP17 and NHERF3 prevented the adaptive upregulation of phosphate transport activity in OK cells in response to low extracellular phosphate. Therefore, the interaction between MAP17, NHERF3/4, and NaPiIIa in the TGN could be an important intermediate or alternate path in the internalization of NaPiIIa.

Abstract
Sodium-dependent phosphate transport in NHERF-1(-/-) proximal tubule cells does not increase when grown in a low phosphate media and is resistant to the normal inhibitory effects of parathyroid hormone (PTH). The current experiments employ adenovirus-mediated gene transfer in primary cultures of mouse proximal tubule cells from NHERF-1 null mice to explore the specific role of NHERF-1 on regulated Npt2a trafficking and sodium-dependent phosphate transport. NHERF-1 null cells have decreased sodium-dependent phosphate transport compared with wild-type cells. Infection of NHERF-1 null cells with adenovirus-GFP-NHERF-1 increased phosphate transport and plasma membrane abundance of Npt2a. Adenovirus-GFP-NHERF-1 infected NHERF-1 null proximal tubule cells but not cells infected with adenovirus-GFP demonstrated increased phosphate transport and Npt2a abundance in the plasma membrane when grown in low phosphate (0.1 mM) compared with high phosphate media (1.9 mM). PTH inhibited phosphate transport and decreased Npt2a abundance in the plasma membrane of adenovirus-GFP-NHERF-1-infected NHERF-1 null proximal tubule cells but not cells infected with adenovirus-GFP. Interestingly, phosphate transport is inhibited by activation of protein kinase A and protein kinase C in wild-type proximal tubule cells but not in NHERF-1(-/-) cells. Together, these results highlight the requirement for NHERF-1 for physiological control of Npt2a trafficking and suggest that the Npt2a/NHERF-1 complex represents a unique PTH-responsive pool of Npt2a in renal microvilli.

Abstract
Secondary hyperparathyroidism in chronic renal failure is stimulated by dietary phosphate (P(i)) loading and ameliorated by dietary P(i) restriction. We investigated the rapidity of the response of serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) to changes in dietary P(i). When uremic rats adapted to a high P(i) diet (HPD) were fed a single meal of low P(i) diet (LPD), plasma PTH fell 80% within 2 h; plasma P(i) fell 1 mg/dl with no change in plasma ionized Ca (ICa). When uremic rats on the HPD were gavaged with LPD, PTH fell 60% within 15 min; plasma P(i) fell by 3.0 mg/dl with no change in total plasma Ca. However, HPD gavage increased PTH by 80% within 15 min with no change in plasma P or Ca, suggesting that the response may be independent of altered plasma P(i). Duodenal infusion of sodium P(i) increased PTH twofold within 10 min, with no change in ICa but an increase in plasma P(i), whereas duodenal infusion of NaCl had no effect on any of these parameters. Intravenous infusion of sodium phosphate also increased PTH within 10 min with no change in plasma ICa; intravenous NaCl had no effect. Additionally, duodenal infusion of phosphonoformate, a nonabsorbable phosphate analog, increased PTH fourfold within 5 min, but did not change plasma P or ICa. These findings indicate that oral P(i) increases PTH release in vivo more rapidly than previously reported; this response may be from both plasma phosphate and an additional signal arising from the gastrointestinal tract.

Abstract
Phosphate (Pi) homeostasis is achieved by adjusting the intestinal absorption and the renal excretion. Renal proximal reabsorption of Pi is regulated by controlling the amount of NaPi-IIa cotransporters in the brush border membrane of proximal tubules. Therefore, the understanding of the molecular mechanisms that control the apical expression of NaPi-IIa is required to have a full picture of how phosphate balancing takes place. In this review we will summarize our present knowledge about the mechanisms involved in the regulation of the apical expression and membrane retrieval of this family of transporters.

Abstract
The present experiments using primary cultures from renal proximal tubule cells examine two aspects of the regulation of sodium-dependent phosphate transport and membrane sodium-dependent phosphate transporter (Npt2a) expression by parathyroid hormone (PTH). Sodium-dependent phosphate transport in proximal tubule cells from wild-type mice grown in normal-phosphate media averaged 4.4 +/- 0.5 nmol.mg protein(-1).10 min(-1) and was inhibited by 30.5 +/- 8.6% by PTH (10(-7) M). This was associated with a 32.7 +/- 5.2% decrease in Npt2a expression in the plasma membrane. Proximal tubule cells from Na(+)/H(+) exchanger regulatory factor-1 (NHERF-1)(-/-) mice had a lower rate of phosphate transport compared with wild-type cells and a significantly reduced inhibitory response to PTH. Wild-type cells incubated in low-phosphate media for 24 h had a higher rate of phosphate transport compared with wild-type cells grown in normal-phosphate media but a significantly blunted inhibitory response to PTH. These data indicate a role for NHERF-1 in mediating the membrane retrieval of Npt2a and the subsequent inhibition of phosphate transport in renal proximal tubules. These studies also suggest that there is a blunted phosphaturic effect of PTH in cells adapted to low-phosphate media.

Abstract
Proteins expressing postsynaptic density (PSD)-95/Drosophila disk large (Dlg)/zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) (PDZ) domains are commonly involved in moderating receptor, channel, and transporter activities at the plasma membrane in a variety of cell types. At the apical membrane of renal proximal tubules (PT), the type IIa NaP(i) cotransporter (NaP(i)-IIa) binds specific PDZ domain proteins. Shank2E is a spliceoform of a family of PDZ proteins that is concentrated at the apical domain of liver and pancreatic epithelial cell types and is expressed in kidney. In the present study, immunoblotting of enriched plasma membrane fractions and immunohistology found Shank2E concentrated at the brush border membrane of rat PT cells. Confocal localization of Flag-Shank2E and enhanced green fluorescent protein-NaP(i)-IIa in cotransfected OK cells showed these proteins colocalized in the apical microvilli of this PT cell model. Shank2E co-immunoprecipitated with NaP(i)-IIa from rat renal cortex tissue and HA-NaP(i)-IIa coprecipitated with Flag-Shank2E in cotransfected human embryonic kidney HEK cells. Domain analysis showed that the PDZ domain of Shank2E specifically bound NaP(i)-IIa and truncation of the COOH-terminal TRL motif from NaP(i)-IIa abolished this binding, and Far Western blotting showed that the Shank2E- NaP(i)-IIa interaction occurred directly between the two proteins. NaP(i)-IIa activity is regulated by moderating its abundance in the apical membrane. High-P(i) conditions induce NaP(i)-IIa internalization and degradation. In both rat kidney PT cells and OK cells, shifting to high-P(i) conditions induced an acute internal redistribution of Shank2E and, in OK cells, a significant degree of degradation. In sum, Shank2E is concentrated in the apical domain of renal PT cells, specifically binds NaP(i)-IIa via PDZ interactions, and undergoes P(i)-induced internalization.

Abstract
We previously showed an inverse correlation between membrane cholesterol content and Na-P(i) cotransport activity during the aging process and adaptation to alterations in dietary P(i) in the rat (Levi M, Jameson DM, and van der Meer BW. Am J Physiol Renal Fluid Electrolyte Physiol 256: F85-F94, 1989). The purpose of the present study was to determine whether alterations in cholesterol content per se modulate Na-P(i) cotransport activity and apical membrane Na-P(i) protein expression in opossum kidney (OK) cells. Acute cholesterol depletion achieved with beta-methyl cyclodextrin (beta-MCD) resulted in a significant increase in Na-P(i) cotransport activity accompanied by a moderate increase in apical membrane Na-P(i) protein abundance and no alteration of total cellular Na-P(i) protein abundance. Conversely, acute cholesterol enrichment achieved with beta-MCD/cholesterol resulted in a significant decrease in Na-P(i) cotransport activity with a moderate decrease in apical membrane Na-Pi protein abundance and no change of the total cellular Na-P(i) protein abundance. In contrast, chronic cholesterol depletion, achieved by growing cells in lipoprotein-deficient serum (LPDS), resulted in parallel and significant increases in Na-P(i) cotransport activity and apical membrane and total cellular Na-P(i) protein abundance. Cholesterol depletion also resulted in a significant increase in membrane lipid fluidity and alterations in lipid microdomains as determined by laurdan fluorescence spectroscopy and imaging. Chronic cholesterol enrichment, achieved by growing cells in LPDS followed by loading with low-density lipoprotein, resulted in parallel and significant decreases in Na-P(i) cotransport activity and apical membrane and total cellular Na-P(i) protein abundance. Our results indicate that in OK cells acute and chronic alterations in cholesterol content per se modulate Na-P(i) cotransport activity by diverse mechanisms that also include significant interactions of Na-P(i) protein with lipid microdomains.

Abstract
Dietary phosphate levels regulate the renal brush-border type IIa Na-Pi cotransporter. Another Na-Pi cotransporter, type IIc, colocalizes with type IIa Na-Pi cotransporter in the apical membrane of renal proximal tubular cells. The goal of the present study was to determine whether dietary phosphate levels also rapidly regulate the type IIc Na-Pi cotransporter. Type IIa and type IIc transporter protein levels were increased in rats chronically fed a low-Pi diet compared with those fed a normal-Pi diet. Two hours after beginning a high-Pi diet, type IIa transporter levels were decreased, whereas type IIc protein levels remained unchanged. Western blot analysis of brush-border membrane prepared 4 h after beginning a high-Pi diet showed a significant reduction in type IIc transporter protein levels, and immunohistochemistry showed translocation of the type IIc-immunoreactive signal from the entire brush border to subapical membrane. Membrane fractionation studies revealed a decrease in apical membrane type IIc protein without changes in total cortical type IIc protein, which is compatible with redistribution of type IIc protein from the apical membrane to the dense membrane fraction. The microtubule-disrupting reagent colchicine prevented this reduction in apical type IIc transporter at the apical membrane but had no effect on type IIa transporter levels. These data suggest that the type IIc Na-Pi cotransporter level is rapidly regulated by rapid adaptation to dietary Pi in a microtubule-dependent manner. Furthermore, the mechanisms of the internalization of the type IIc transporter are distinct from those of the type IIa transporter.

Abstract
Sodium-dependent phosphate cotransport in renal proximal tubules (PTs) is heterogeneous with respect to proximal tubular segmentation (S1 vs. S3) and nephron generation (superficial vs. juxtamedullary). In the present study, S1 and S3 segments of superficial and juxtamedullary nephrons were laser-microdissected and mRNA and protein expression of the Na/Pi-cotransporters NaPi-IIa and NaPi-IIc and the PDZ proteins NHERF-1 and PDZK1 determined. Expression of NaPi-IIa mRNA decreased axially in juxtamedullary nephrons. There was no effect of dietary Pi content on NaPi-lla mRNA expression in any proximal tubular segment. The abundance of the NaPi-IIa cotransporter in the brush-border membrane showed inter- and intranephron heterogeneity and increased in response to a low-Pi diet (5 days), suggesting that up-regulation of NaPi-lla occurs via post-transcriptional mechanisms. In contrast, NaPi-IIc mRNA and protein was up-regulated by the low-Pi diet in all nephron generations analysed. NHERF-1 and PDZK1, at both mRNA and protein levels, were distributed evenly along the PTs and did not change after a low-Pi diet.

Abstract
Growth hormone (GH) is an important factor in the developmental adaptation to enhance P(i) reabsorption; however, the nephron sites and mechanisms by which GH regulates renal P(i) uptake remain unclear and are the focus of the present study. Micropuncture experiments were performed after acute thyroparathyroidectomy in the presence and absence of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in adult (14- to 17-wk old), juvenile (4-wk old), and GH-suppressed juvenile male rats. While the phosphaturic effect of PTH was blunted in the juvenile rat compared with the adult, suppression of GH in the juvenile restored fractional P(i) excretion to adult levels. In the presence or absence of PTH, GH suppression in the juvenile rat caused a significant increase in the fractional P(i) delivery to the late proximal convoluted (PCT) and early distal tubule, so that delivery was not different from that in adults. These data were confirmed by P(i) uptake studies into brush-border membrane (BBM) vesicles. Immunofluorescence studies indicate increased BBM type IIa NaP(i) cotransporter (NaPi-2) expression in the juvenile compared with adult rat, and GH suppression reduced NaPi-2 expression to levels observed in the adult. GH replacement in the [N-acetyl-Tyr(1)-d-Arg(2)]-GRF-(1-29)-NH(2)-treated juveniles restored high NaPi-2 expression and P(i) uptake. Together, these novel results demonstrate that the presence of GH in the juvenile animal is crucial for the early developmental upregulation of BBM NaPi-2 and, most importantly, describe the enhanced P(i) reabsorption along the PCT and proximal straight nephron segments in the juvenile rat.

Abstract
Treatment with PTH (parathyroid hormone) or a high-P(i) diet causes internalization of the type IIa sodium-dependent phosphate (Na/P(i) IIa) co-transporter from the apical membrane and its degradation in the lysosome. A dibasic amino acid motif (KR) in the third intracellular loop of the co-transporter is essential for protein's PTH-induced retrieval. To elucidate the mechanism of internalization of Na/P(i) IIa, we identified the interacting protein for the endocytic motif by yeast two-hybrid screening. We found a strong interaction of the Na/P(i) IIa co-transporter with a small protein known as the PEX19 (human peroxisomal farnesylated protein; PxF, Pex19p). PEX19 can bind to the KR motif, but not to a mutant with this motif replaced with NI residues. PEX19 is highly expressed in mouse and rat kidney. Western blot analysis indicates that PEX19 is located in the cytosolic and brush-border membrane fractions (microvilli and the subapical component). Overexpression of PEX19 stimulated the endocytosis of the Na/P(i) IIa co-transporter in opossum kidney cells in the absence of PTH. In conclusion, the present study indicates that PEX19 may be actively involved in controlling the internalization and trafficking of the Na/P(i) IIa co-transporter.

Abstract
Serum phosphate concentrations are maintained within a defined range by processes that regulate the intestinal absorption and renal excretion of inorganic phosphate. The hormones currently believed to influence these processes are parathyroid hormone (PTH) and the active metabolite of vitamin D, 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1alpha,25(OH)2D). A new class of phosphate-regulating factors, collectively known as the phosphatonins, have been shown to be associated with the hypophosphatemic diseases, tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO), X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH), and autosomal-dominant hypophosphatemic rickets (ADHR). These factors, which include fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) and secreted frizzled-related protein 4 (FRP4), decrease extracellular fluid phosphate concentrations by directly reducing renal phosphate reabsorption and by suppressing 1alpha,25(OH)2D formation through the inhibition of 25-hydroxyvitamin D 1alpha-hydroxylase. The role of these substances under normal or pathologic conditions is not yet clear. For example, it is unknown whether any of the phosphatonins are directly responsible for the decreased concentrations of 1alpha,25(OH)2D observed in chronic and end-stage kidney disease or whether they are induced in an attempt to correct the hyperphosphatemia seen in late stages of chronic renal failure. Future experiments should clarify their physiologic and pathologic roles in phosphate metabolism.

Abstract
In expression systems and in yeast, Na/H exchanger regulatory factor (NHERF)-1 and NHERF-2 have been demonstrated to interact with the renal brush border membrane proteins NHE3 and Npt2. In renal tissue of mice, however, NHERF-1 is required for cAMP regulation of NHE3 and for the apical targeting of Npt2 despite the presence of NHERF-2, suggesting another order of specificity. The present studies examine the subcellular location of NHERF-1 and NHERF-2 and their interactions with target proteins including NHE3, Npt2, and ezrin. The wild-type mouse proximal tubule expresses both NHERF-1 and NHERF-2 in a distinct pattern. NHERF-1 is strongly expressed in microvilli in association with NHE3, Npt2, and ezrin. Although NHERF-2 can be detected weakly in the microvilli, it is expressed predominantly at the base of the microvilli in the vesicle-rich domain. NHERF-2 appears to associate directly with ezrin and NHE3 but not Npt2. NHERF-1 is involved in the apical expression of Npt2 and the presence of other Npt2-binding proteins does not compensate totally for the absence of NHERF-1 in NHERF-1-null mice. Although NHERF-1 links NHE3 to the actin cytoskeleton through ezrin, the absence of NHERF-1 does not result in a generalized disruption of the architecture of the cell. Thus the mistargeting of Npt2 seen in NHERF-1-null mice likely represents a specific disruption of pathways mediated by NHERF-1 to achieve targeting of Npt2. These findings suggest that the organized subcellular distribution of the NHERF isoforms may play a role in the specific interactions mediating physiological control of transporter function.

Abstract
The sodium-dependent renal phosphate transporter (Npt2, Na-Pi IIa) is the major regulated phosphate transporter in the renal proximal convoluted tubule. Npt2 associates with a number of PDZ-containing proteins including Na+H+ exchanger regulatory factor-1 (NHERF-1). To determine whether NHERF-1 is involved in the acute regulation of phosphate transport, wild-type and NHERF-1 (-/-) mice were stabilized on a high-phosphate diet and then acutely changed to a low-phosphate diet. At 24 h after the change to a low-phosphate diet, there was a significant decrease in the urinary excretion of phosphate in both groups but the urinary excretion of phosphate in NHERF-1 (-/-) mice was significantly higher than in wild-type animals (1,097 +/- 356 vs. 255 +/- 54 ng/min, P < 0.05). Renal mRNA levels and total cellular Npt2 protein did not differ between the animal groups or in response to the changes in diet. Renal brush-border membrane (BBM) expression of Npt2 protein, however, was lower in NHERF-1 (-/-) mice compared with wild-type. In addition, with both the high- and low-phosphate diets, there was increased detection of Npt2 in submicrovillar domains that were particularly prominent in NHERF-1 (-/-) mice compared with wild-type animals. On the other hand, a change from a low-phosphate diet to a high-phosphate diet was associated with a similar increase in the urinary excretion of phosphate in wild-type and NHERF-1 (-/-) animals. These experiments demonstrate that full renal adaptation to a low-phosphate diet requires NHERF-1, which serves to increase BBM expression of Npt2.

Abstract
The present study was undertaken to define the mechanisms governing the regulation of the novel renal brush-border membrane (BBM) Na-phosphate (Pi) cotransporter designated type IIc (Npt2c). To address this issue, the renal expression of Npt2c was compared in two hypophosphatemic mouse models with impaired renal BBM Na-Pi cotransport. In mice homozygous for the disrupted Npt2a gene (Npt2-/-), BBM Npt2c protein abundance, relative to actin, was increased 2.8-fold compared with Npt2+/+ littermates, whereas a corresponding increase in renal Npt2c mRNA abundance, relative to beta-actin, was not evident. In contrast, in X-linked Hyp mice, which harbor a large deletion in the Phex gene, the renal abundance of both Npt2c protein and mRNA was significantly decreased by 80 and 50%, respectively, relative to normal littermates. Pi deprivation elicited a 2.5-fold increase in BBM Npt2c protein abundance in Npt2+/+ mice but failed to elicit a further increase in Npt2c protein in Npt2-/- mice. Pi restriction led to an increase in BBM Npt2c protein abundance in both normal and Hyp mice without correcting its renal expression in the mutants. In summary, we report that BBM Npt2c protein expression is differentially regulated in Npt2-/- mice and Hyp mice and that the Npt2c response to low-Pi challenge differs in both hypophosphatemic mouse strains. We demonstrate that Npt2c protein is maximally upregulated in Npt2-/- mice and suggest that Npt2c likely accounts for residual BBM Na-Pi cotransport in the knockout model. Finally, our data indicate that loss of Phex function abrogates renal Npt2c protein expression.
