Abstract
A link between vascular calcification and bone anomalies has been suggested in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with low bone turnover disease. We investigated the vascular expression of osteocyte markers in relation to bone microarchitecture and mineralization defects in a model of low bone turnover CKD rats with vascular calcification. CKD with vascular calcification was induced by 5/6 nephrectomy followed by high calcium and phosphate diet, and vitamin D supplementation (Ca/P/VitD). CKD + Ca/P/VitD group (n = 12) was compared to CKD + normal diet (n = 12), control + normal diet (n = 8) and control + Ca/P/VitD supplementation (n = 8). At week 6, tibia, femurs and the thoracic aorta were analysed by Micro-Ct, histomorphometry and for expression of osteocyte markers. High Ca/P/VitD treatment induced vascular calcification only in CKD rats, suppressed serum parathyroid hormone levels and led to higher sclerostin, DKK1 and FGF23 serum levels. Expression of sclerostin, DKK1 and DMP1 but not FGF23 were increased in calcified vessels from CKD + Ca/P/VitD rats. Despite low parathyroid hormone levels, tibia bone cortical thickness was significantly lower in CKD + Ca/P/VitD rats as compared to control rats fed a normal diet, which is likely the result of radial growth impairment. Finally, Ca/P/VitD treatment in CKD rats induced a bone mineralization defect, which is likely explained by the high calcitriol dose. In conclusion, Ca/P/VitD supplementation in CKD rats induces expression of osteocyte markers in vessels and bone mineralisation anomalies. Further studies should evaluate the mechanisms of high dose calcitriol-induced bone mineralisation defects in CKD.

Abstract
Vascular calcification and bone fragility are common and interrelated health problems that affect chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Bone fragility, which leads to higher risk of fracture and mortality, arises from the abnormal bone remodeling and mineralization that are seen in chronic kidney disease. Recently, sclerostin and Dickkopf-related protein 1 were suggested to play a significant role in CKD-related bone disease as they are known inhibitors of the Wnt pathway, thus preventing bone formation. This review focuses on new knowledge about the Wnt pathway in bone, how its function is affected by chronic kidney disease and how this affects bone structure. Expression of components and inhibitors of the Wnt pathway has been shown to be affected by the loss of kidney function, and a better understanding of the bone effects of Wnt pathway inhibitors could allow the development of new therapies to prevent bone fragility in this population.
