Dietary and Serum Phosphorus Regulate Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 Expression and 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D Metabolism in Mice

Zusammenfassung:Fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) is a novel circulating peptide that regulates phosphorus (Pi) and vitamin D metabolism, but the mechanisms by which circulating FGF-23 itself is regulated are unknown. To determine whether the serum FGF-23 concentration is regulated by dietary intake of Pi, we fed wild-type (WT), Npt2a gene-ablated (Npt2a−/−), and Hyp mice diets containing varying Pi contents (0.02–1.65%). In WT mice, increases in dietary Pi intake from 0.02–1.65% induced a 7-fold increase in serum FGF-23 and a 3-fold increase in serum Pi concentrations. Across the range of dietary Pi, serum FGF-23 concentrations varied directly with serum Pi concentrations (r2 = 0.72; P < 0.001). In Npt2a−/− mice, serum FGF-23 concentrations were significantly lower than in WT mice, and these differences could be accounted for by the lower serum Pi levels in Npt2a−/− mice. The serum concentrations of FGF-23 in Hyp mice were 5- to 25-fold higher than values in WT mice, and the values varied with dietary Pi intake. Fgf-23 mRNA abundance in calvaria was significantly higher in Hyp mice than in WT mice on the 1% Pi diet; in both groups of mice, fgf-23 mRNA abundance in calvarial bone was suppressed by 85% on the low (0.02%) Pi diet. In WT mice fed the low (0.02%) Pi diet, renal mitochondrial 1α-hydroxylase activity and renal 1α-hydroxylase (P450c1α) mRNA abundance were significantly higher than in mice fed the higher Pi diets and varied inversely with serum FGF-23 concentrations (r2 = 0.86 and r2 = 0.64; P < 0.001, respectively). The present data demonstrate that dietary Pi regulates the serum FGF-23 concentration in mice, and such regulation is independent of phex function. The data suggest that genotype-dependent and dietary Pi-induced changes in the serum FGF-23 concentration reflect changes in fgf-23 gene expression in bone.
