Hypophosphatemia can lead to muscle weakness and respiratory and heart failure, but the mechanism is unknown. To address this question, we noninvasively assessed rates of muscle ATP synthesis in hypophosphatemic mice by using in vivo saturation transfer [31P]-magnetic resonance spectroscopy. By using this approach, we found that basal and insulin-stimulated rates of muscle ATP synthetic flux (VATP) and plasma inorganic phosphate (Pi) were reduced by 50% in mice with diet-induced hypophosphatemia as well as in sodium-dependent Pi transporter solute carrier family 34, member 1 (NaPi2a)-knockout (NaPi2a-/-) mice compared with their wild-type littermate controls. Rates of VATP normalized in both hypophosphatemic groups after restoring plasma Pi concentrations. Furthermore, VATP was directly related to cellular and mitochondrial Pi uptake in L6 and RC13 rodent myocytes and isolated muscle mitochondria. Similar findings were observed in a patient with chronic hypophosphatemia as a result of a mutation in SLC34A3 who had a 50% reduction in both serum Pi content and muscle VATP After oral Pi repletion and normalization of serum Pi levels, muscle VATP completely normalized in the patient. Taken together, these data support the hypothesis that decreased muscle ATP synthesis, in part, may be caused by low blood Pi concentrations, which may explain some aspects of muscle weakness observed in patients with hypophosphatemia.-Pesta, D.

F., Bergwitz, C., Shulman, G. I. Hypophosphatemia promotes lower rates of muscle ATP synthesis.
Objective Phosphate is a fundamental element involved in a number of physiological pathways. A previous study showed abnormal laboratory findings and a higher mortality in hypophosphatemic patients than in normophosphatemic patients with pneumonia. Sporadic cases of pneumonia due to Legionella spp., Streptococcus pneumoniae, and viruses have been reported; however, the significance of hypophosphatemia in patients with pneumonia has not been adequately studied. We determined whether or not hypophosphatemia in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) was associated with specific pathogens, patient factors, disease severity, and mortality. Method We retrospectively analyzed 600 patients with CAP who were admitted to our hospital between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2019. Results Hypophosphatemia was found in 72 (12.0%) of the 600 patients. The most frequent causative microbial agents of CAP in patients with hypophosphatemia were S. pneumoniae, Legionella spp., and influenza virus, whereas in severely ill patients with hypophosphatemia, influenza virus was the most common. Legionella spp., diabetes mellitus, and severe pneumonia were the independent factors for hypophosphatemia in the multivariable analysis. An impaired performance status, severe status on admission, interstitial pneumonia, bacteremia, and guideline-discordant therapy were the independent factors associated with mortality in the multivariable analysis. Hypophosphatemia was not significantly associated with mortality but showed a trend towards higher mortality in the multivariable analysis. Conclusion Hypophosphatemia was not associated with the prognosis in patients with CAP. However, the significance of hypophosphatemia for clinicians lies in the laboratory findings that predict abnormal glucose metabolism, Legionella infection, and severe disease.
Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23)-induced hypophosphatemia is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome of phosphate wasting that, if unrecognized, may cause tumor-induced osteomalacia. It is classically associated with benign mesenchymal tumors but occasionally has been found in patients with other malignancies. Hypophosphatemia has been associated with acute leukemia but has not previously been reported to be due to inappropriate FGF23 secretion. Here, we describe FGF23-induced severe hypophosphatemia and renal phosphate wasting associated with a mixed-phenotype Philadelphia chromosome-like acute leukemia in a previously healthy 22-year-old man. He was found to have low serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D and extremely high FGF23 levels, as well as inappropriate urinary phosphorus excretion. The hypophosphatemia improved with calcitriol and oral phosphate treatment but normalized only during chemotherapy-induced ablation of the blasts. FGF23 levels declined with a reduction in peripheral blast counts. Using real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, we found that the leukemia cells were the source of FGF23. To our knowledge, this is the first description of FGF23-induced hypophosphatemia associated with acute leukemia. We recommend that the FGF23 paraneoplastic syndrome be considered as a possible etiology of hypophosphatemia in patients with acute leukemia.
Transcriptomic analysis showed that the central circadian pathway genes had significantly altered expression in fracture calluses from mice fed a low phosphate diet. This led us to hypothesize that phosphate deficiency altered the circadian cycle in peripheral tissues. Analysis of the expression of the central clock genes over a 24-36 hour period in multiple peripheral tissues including fracture callus, proximal tibia growth plate and cardiac tissues after 12 days on a low phosphate diet showed higher levels of gene expression in the hypophosphatemia groups (p < 0.001) and a 3 to 6 hour elongation of the circadian cycle. A comparative analysis of the callus tissue transcriptome genes that were differentially regulated by hypophosphatemia with published data for the genes in bone that are diurnally regulated identified 1879 genes with overlapping differential regulation, which were shown by ontology assessment to be associated with oxidative metabolism and apoptosis. Network analysis of the central circadian pathway genes linked their expression to the up regulated expression of the histone methyltransferase gene EZH2, a gene that when mutated in both humans and mice controls overall skeletal growth. These data suggest that phosphate is an essential metabolite that controls circadian function in both skeletal and non skeletal peripheral tissues and associates its levels with the overall oxidative metabolism and skeletal growth of animals.
Some, but not all, intravenous iron formulations have been recognized to induce renal phosphate wasting syndrome. Most commonly this has been reported following treatment of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) with ferric carboxymaltose (FCM). A search of PubMed identified relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and case studies evaluating hypophosphatemia (HPP) resulting from intravenous iron treatment. While more recent larger comparative RCTs have confirmed that the majority of patients receiving FCM, especially those with normal renal function, may experience severe HPP, complete documentation is hampered by inconsistent reporting of serum phosphate in such trials. Similarly, while case series and RCTs have documented the persistence of HPP for several weeks or even months, the lack of studies lasting beyond 5-6 weeks has constrained full understanding of the duration of effect. Clinical trials have established that the mechanism involves the bone/metabolic axis with the elevation of intact fibroblast growth factor 23 playing the central role. Reports continue to accumulate of the clinical consequences of severe HPP which are, most commonly, bone abnormalities following repetitive dosing. Case reports and studies, however, have also shown that symptomatic hypophosphatemia can occur after a single FCM dose. The frequency of such events remains unknown, in part due to lack of awareness of hypophosphatemia coupled with the fact that the most common acute symptoms of HPP (fatigue and weakness) are the same for IDA and for many of the chronic diseases that cause IDA. Changes to US and European prescribing information for FCM should raise awareness of the potential for HPP and need to monitor patients at risk for it.
Background: X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is the most frequent form of hypophosphatemic rickets and is caused by mutations in the PHEX gene. We analyzed genotype-phenotype correlations in XLH patients with proven PHEX mutations. Methods: PHEX mutations were detected in 55 out of 81 patients who clinically presented with hypophosphatemic rickets. The patients were grouped into nontruncating (n = 9) and truncating (n = 46) mutation groups; their initial presentation as well as long-term clinical findings were evaluated according to these groups. Results: Initial findings, including presenting symptoms, onset age, height standard deviation scores (SDS), and laboratory tests, including serum phosphate level and tubular resorption of phosphate, were not significantly different between the two groups (onset age: nontruncating mutation group, 2.0 years, truncating mutation group, 2.2 years; height SDS: nontruncating mutation group, -1.9, truncating mutation group, -1.7; serum phosphate: nontruncating mutation group, 2.5 mg/dL, truncating mutation group, 2.6 mg/dL). However, at their last follow-up, the serum phosphate level was significantly lower in patients with truncating mutations (nontruncating mutation group: 3.2 mg/dl, truncating mutation group: 2.3 mg/dl; P = 0.006). Additionally, 62.5% of patients with truncating mutations developed nephrocalcinosis at their last follow-up, while none of the patients with nontruncating mutations developed nephrocalcinosis (P = 0.015). Orthopedic surgery due to bony deformations was performed significantly more often in patients with truncating mutations (52.3 vs. 10.0%, P = 0.019). Conclusion: Although considerable inconsistency exists regarding the correlation of truncating mutations and their disease phenotype in several other studies, we cautiously suggest that there would be genotype-phenotype correlation in some aspects of disease manifestation after long-term follow-up. This information can be used when consulting patients with confirmed XLH regarding their disease prognosis.
hypophosphatemia occurs in up to 80% of the patients during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Phosphate supplementation is time-consuming and the phosphate level might be dangerously low before normophosphatemia is re-established. This study evaluated the possibility to prevent hypophosphatemia during CRRT treatment by using a new commercially available phosphate-containing dialysis fluid.
The Hyp mouse is a murine homolog of human X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets and displays hypo-mineralization in bone and dentin due to a defect of the phosphate-regulating gene with homology to endopeptidase on the X chromosome (Phex) gene. It has long been considered that the bone and dentin defects in Hyp mice are caused by hypophosphatemia alone, however, several recent studies have indicated the possibility that intrinsic defects are present in Hyp mice osteoblasts. Further, we previously found a hyper-expression of osteocalcin (OC) mRNA in Hyp mouse odontoblasts and suggested the possibility of the presence of intrinsic defects. In the present study, we evaluated morphological features and OC mRNA expression levels in tooth germs of Nor mice with a normal phex gene and a low concentration of serum phosphate, and compared them to those in Hyp and wild-type mice. Nor mice exhibited low serum phosphate levels, however, did not show the characteristic features of dentin defects seen in Hyp mice, such as widened predentin and hyper-expression of OC mRNA. These results suggest that the hypo-mineralization of dentin in Hyp mice is not dependent on serum phosphate level, but rather is affected by intrinsic defects in odontoblasts.
Hypophosphatemia occurs in 40 to 60% of patients with acute malaria, and in many other conditions associated with elevations of body temperature. To determine the prevalence and causes of hypophosphatemia in patients with malaria, we retrospectively studied all adults diagnosed with acute malaria during a 12-year period. To validate our findings, we analyzed a second sample of malaria patients during a subsequent 10-year period. Serum phosphorus correlated inversely with temperature (n = 59, r = -0.62; P<0.0001), such that each 1 degrees C increase in body temperature was associated with a reduction of 0.18 mmol/L (0.56 mg/dL) in the serum phosphorus level (95% confidence interval: -0.12 to -0.24 mmol/L [-0.37 to -0.74 mg/dL] per 1 degrees C). A similar effect was observed among 19 patients who had repeat measurements of serum phosphorus and temperature. In a multiple linear regression analysis, the relation between temperature and serum phosphorus level was independent of blood pH, PCO2, and serum levels of potassium, bicarbonate, calcium, albumin, and glucose. Our study demonstrates a strong inverse linear relation between body temperature and serum phosphorus level that was not explained by other factors known to cause hypophosphatemia. If causal, this association can account for the high prevalence of hypophosphatemia, observed in our patients and in previous studies of patients with malaria. Because hypophosphatemia has been observed in other clinical conditions characterized by fever or hyperthermia, this relation may not be unique to malaria. Elevation of body temperature should be added to the list of causes of hypophosphatemia.
The phosphaturic hormone Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 (FGF23) controls phosphate homeostasis by regulating renal expression of sodium-dependent phosphate co-transporters and cytochrome P450 enzymes involved in vitamin D catabolism. Multiple FGF Receptors (FGFRs) can act as receptors for FGF23 when bound by the co-receptor Klotho expressed in the renal tubular epithelium. FGFRs also regulate skeletal FGF23 secretion; ectopic FGFR activation is implicated in genetic conditions associated with FGF23 overproduction and hypophosphatemia. The identity of FGFRs that mediate the activity of FGF23 or that regulate skeletal FGF23 secretion remains ill defined. Here we report that pharmacological activation of FGFR1 with monoclonal anti-FGFR1 antibodies (R1MAb) in adult mice is sufficient to cause an elevation in serum FGF23 and mild hypophosphatemia. In cultured rat calvariae osteoblasts, R1MAb induces FGF23 mRNA expression and FGF23 protein secretion into the culture medium. In a cultured kidney epithelial cell line, R1MAb acts as a functional FGF23 mimetic and activates the FGF23 program. siRNA-mediated Fgfr1 knockdown induced the opposite effects. Taken together, our work reveals the central role of FGFR1 in the regulation of FGF23 production and signal transduction, and has implications in the pathogenesis of FGF23-related hypophosphatemic disorders.
Isolated renal hypophosphatemia may be inherited or acquired. An increasing number of patients with unexplained renal hypophosphatemia is being referred to our clinics, but the optimal diagnostic work-up is not known. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic yield in these patients.
Patients with intestinal failure (IF) are prone to hypophosphatemia and shifts in magnesium and potassium levels. Although these shifts are often attributed to refeeding syndrome (RFS), the incidence of electrolyte shifts among patients with IF is unknown. We evaluated the occurrence of hypophosphatemia and other electrolyte shifts according to the functional and pathophysiological IF classifications.
Serum phosphate levels are regulated in both calcium-dependent and -independent fashions. Active vitamin D increases while PTH decreases serum phosphate levels in association with the elevation of serum calcium. On the other hand, a calcium-independent phosphaturic factor, historically called phosphatonin is believed to exert a physiological function based on findings in hereditary and tumor-induced diseases characterized by hypophosphatemia with normocalcemia. Among them, autosomal dominant hypophosphatemic rickets (ADHR) has contributed greatly to its elucidation because the gene responsible for ADHR encodes fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) that has been found to have a phosphaturic effect. In addition, FGF23 has been proved to be involved in most cases of oncogenic osteomalacia and X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets that are also characterized by hypophosphatemia and normocalcemia. Moreover, familial tumoral calcinosis, which represents the metabolic mirror image of hypophosphatemic conditions, is caused by a loss-of-function mutation in the FGF23 gene in some patients. Very recently, hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets with hypercalciuria has been found to be caused by mutations in the SLC34A1 gene which encodes a type of sodium phosphate cotransporter. These findings may provide new strategies for treating patients with abnormal phosphate metabolism.
X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is caused by inactivating mutations in the phosphate-regulating endopeptidase homolog, X-linked (PHEX) gene, resulting in an excess of circulating intact fibroblast growth factor-23 (iFGF-23) and a waste of renal phosphate. In the present study, we retrospectively reviewed the clinical and molecular features of 153 Chinese patients, representing 87 familial and 66 sporadic cases with XLH. A total of 153 patients with XLH presented with signs or symptoms at a median age of 18.0 months (range, 9.0 months-26.0 years). Lower-limb deformity was the most frequent clinical manifestation, accounting for 79.1% (121/153). Biochemical screening showed increased serum levels of iFGF23 in patients with XLH, with a wide variation ranging from 14.39 to 730.70 pg/ml. Median values of serum iFGF23 in pediatric and adult patients were 94.87 pg/ml (interquartile range: 74.27-151.86 pg/ml) and 72.82 pg/ml (interquartile range: 39.42-136.00 pg/ml), respectively. Although no difference in circulating iFGF23 levels between these two groups was observed (P = 0.062), the proportion of patients with high levels of circulating iFGF23 (>42.2 pg/ml) was greater in the pediatric group than in the adult group (P = 0.026). Eighty-eight different mutations in 153 patients were identified, with 27 (30.7%) being novel. iFGF23 levels and severity of the disease did not correlate significantly with truncating and non-truncating mutations or N-terminal and C-terminal PHEX mutations. This study provides a comprehensive description of the clinical profiles, circulating levels of iFGF23 and gene mutation features of patients with XLH, further enriching the genotypic spectrum of the diseases. The findings show no evident correlation of circulating iFGF23 levels with the age or disease severity in patients with XLH.
Background and Objectives: Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is one of the most challenging complications after pancreatic resections, associated with prolonged hospital stay and high mortality. Early identification of pancreatic fistula is necessary for the treatment to be effective. Several prognostic factors have been identified, although it is unclear which one is the most crucial. Some studies show that post-pancreatectomy hypophosphatemia may be associated with the development of POPF. The aim of this systematic review was to determine whether postoperative hypophosphatemia can be used as a prognostic factor for postoperative pancreatic fistula. Materials and Methods: The systematic literature review was performed according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses recommendations (PRISMA) and was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO). The PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science databases were systematically searched up to the 31st of January 2022 for studies analyzing postoperative hypophosphatemia as a prognostic factor for POPF. Data including study characteristics, patient characteristics, operation type, definitions of postoperative hypophosphatemia and postoperative pancreatic fistula were extracted. Results: Initially, 149 articles were retrieved. After screening and final assessment, 3 retrospective studies with 2893 patients were included in this review. An association between postoperative hypophosphatemia and POPF was found in all included studies. Patients undergoing distal pancreatectomy were more likely to develop severe hypophosphatemia compared to patients undergoing proximal pancreatectomy. Serum phosphate levels on postoperative day 4 (POD 4) and postoperative day 5 (POD 5) remained significantly lower in patients who developed leak-related complications showing a slower recovery of hypophosphatemia from postoperative day 3 (POD 3) through postoperative day 7 (POD 7). Moreover, body mass index (BMI) higher than 30 kg/m2, soft pancreatic tissue, abnormal white blood cell count on postoperative day 3 (POD 3), and shorter surgery time were associated with leak-related complications (LRC) and lower phosphate levels. Conclusions: Early postoperative hypophosphatemia might be used as a prognostic biomarker for early identification of postoperative pancreatic fistula. However, more studies are needed to better identify significant cut-off levels of postoperative hypophosphatemia and development of hypophosphatemia in the postoperative period.
Congenital fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23)-related hypophosphatemic rickets/osteomalacia is a rare bone metabolism disorder characterized by hypophosphatemia and caused by genetic abnormalities that result in excessive secretion of FGF23. Hyp mice are a model of X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) caused by deletion of the PHEX gene and excessive production of FGF23. The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential of TM5614 as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of congenital FGF23-related hypophosphatemic rickets and osteomalacia in humans by administering TM5614 to Hyp mice and examining its curative effect on hypophosphatemia. After a single oral administration of TM5614 10 mg·kg-1 to female Hyp mice starting at 17 weeks of age, the serum phosphate concentration increased with a peak at 6 h after administration. ELISA confirmed that TM5614 administration decreased the intact FGF23 concentration in the blood. Expression of 25-hydroxyvitamin D-1α-hydroxylase protein encoded by Cyp27b1 mRNA in the kidney was suppressed in Hyp mice, and treatment with 10 mg·kg-1 of TM5614 normalized the expression of 25-hydroxyvitamin D-1α-hydroxylase protein and Cyp27b1 mRNA in the kidneys of these mice. Our data indicate that oral administration of TM5614 ameliorates hypophosphatemia in Hyp mice, suggesting that TM5614 may be an effective treatment for congenital FGF23-related hypophosphatemic rickets and osteomalacia.
Raine syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by generalized osteosclerosis with periosteal bone formation and a distinctive facial phenotype. Either homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in family with sequence similarity 20, member C (FAM20C) have been reported to cause this syndrome. Recently, it was reported that fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23)-related hypophosphatemia was found in patients with non-lethal Raine syndrome, and Fam20c conditional knockout mice presented Fgf23-related hypophosphatemic rickets. To clarify the mechanism of how FAM20C regulates FGF23, we performed functional analysis of mutant FAM20C proteins reported in Raine syndrome. We analyzed 6 mutant FAM20C proteins (T268M, P328S, R408W, D451N, D478A, and R549W) for their distributions, kinase activities, and effects on dentin matrix protein (DMP1) promoter activity. We also analyzed the effect of Fam20c knockdown on Dmp1 and Fgf23 mRNA levels in UMR-106 cells. As a result, all the mutant FAM20C proteins showed decreased kinase activities compared to wild-type (WT) FAM20C, and most of them also showed impaired secretion. Overexpression of WT FAM20C increased DMP1 promoter activity in Saos-2 cells while mutant FAM20C did not. Fam20c knockdown decreased Dmp1 mRNA and increased Fgf23 mRNA in UMR-106 cells. In conclusion, our results suggest that FAM20C suppresses FGF23 production by enhancing DMP1 expression, and inactivating mutations in FAM20C cause FGF23-related hypophosphatemia by decreasing transcription of DMP1.
Elevated fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) in X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) results in rickets and phosphate wasting, manifesting by severe bone and dental abnormalities. Burosumab, a FGF23-neutralizing antibody, an alternative to conventional treatment (phosphorus and active vitamin D analogs), showed significant improvement in the long bone phenotype. Here, we examined whether FGF23 antibody (FGF23-mAb) also improved the dentoalveolar features associated with XLH. Four-week-old male Hyp mice were injected weekly with 4 or 16 mg·kg-1 of FGF23-mAb for 2 months and compared to wild-type (WT) and vehicle (PBS) treated Hyp mice (n = 3-7 mice). Micro-CT analyses showed that both doses of FGF23-mAb restored dentin/cementum volume and corrected the enlarged pulp volume in Hyp mice, the higher concentration resulting in a rescue similar to WT levels. FGF23-mAb treatment also improved alveolar bone volume fraction and mineral density compared to vehicle-treated ones. Histology revealed improved mineralization of the dentoalveolar tissues, with a decreased amount of osteoid, predentin and cementoid. Better periodontal ligament attachment was also observed, evidenced by restoration of the acellular cementum. These preclinical data were consistent with the retrospective analysis of two patients with XLH showing that burosumab treatment improved oral features. Taken together, our data show that the dentoalveolar tissues are greatly improved by FGF23-mAb treatment, heralding its benefit in clinics for dental abnormalities.
