Effect of phosphate supplementation on the expression of the mutant phenotype in murine X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets.

The X-linked Hyp mouse, a murine homologue of X-linked hypophosphatemia in humans, is characterized by rachitic bone disease, hypophosphatemia, impaired renal brush-border membrane Na(+)-phosphate cotransport and abnormal regulation of renal vitamin D metabolism. We demonstrated that short-term phosphate supplementation decreases renal 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2D) catabolism and increases serum 1,25-(OH)2D levels in Hyp mice (Tenenhouse & Jones 1990). In the present study, we compared several other parameters in normal and Hyp mice fed control (1%) and high (1.6%) phosphate diets for 4 days. Phosphate supplementation significantly raised serum phosphate levels and decreased renal brush-border membrane Na(+)-phosphate but not Na(+)-glucose, cotransport in both genotypes (67% of control diet, p < 0.05). However, under both dietary conditions, the phosphate/glucose transport ratio was significantly reduced in Hyp mice (58% of normal littermates, p < 0.05). Renal PTH-stimulated cAMP accumulation, which was significantly blunted in Hyp mice compared to normal mice under control dietary conditions (p < 0.05), was not altered by phosphate supplementation in either genotype. Serum alkaline phosphatase activity was significantly higher than normal in Hyp mice on the control diet and was further increased in mutants but not in normals fed the high phosphate diet (p < 0.05). Measurements of serum bilirubin and electrophoresis of serum alkaline phosphatase suggested that the elevation in serum alkaline phosphatase activity in phosphate-supplemented Hyp mice represents the bone-derived isozyme.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Altered localisation of transforming growth factor-beta 3 during endochondral ossification in rachitic chicks.

Growth plates from chicks displaying hypocalcaemic rickets, hypophosphataemic rickets and dyschondroplasia were studied. Immunohistochemical staining using specific TGF-beta 3 antibodies showed disruption of TGF-beta 3 localisation in all three disorders. In hypocalcaemic rickets, transitional and hypertrophic chondrocytes showed expression of TGF-beta 3, while accumulating, proliferative chondrocytes showed little expression. In the accumulating hypertrophic chondrocytes of hypophosphataemic rickets there was a reduction in the number of chondrocytes expressing TGF-beta 3, but transitional cells stained intensely. In the accumulating transitional chondrocytes of dyschondroplastic physes there was a reduction in the number of chondrocytes containing TGF-beta 3 and, in addition, the concentration of TGF-beta 3 appeared reduced. In all three disorders, there was localisation of some TGF-beta 3 in chondrocytes that appeared to be differentiating within the areas of repair. In addition, little TGF-beta 3 was detected in osteoclasts resorbing accumulated matrix from hypocalcaemic, hypophosphataemic and dyschondroplastic growth plates. These in vivo studies show a reduction in TGF-beta 3 localisation within growth plate chondrocytes and osteoclasts in three disorders in which chondrocytes cease to differentiate. This suggests that TGF-beta 3 may be important during chondrocyte differentiation in the growth plate.

Effect of abnormal mineralization on the mechanical behavior of X-linked hypophosphatemic mice femora.

The Hyp mouse is an established animal model of X-linked hypophosphatemia, one of the most common genetic forms of metabolic bone disease in humans. This study describes the first determination of whole bone mechanical behavior in the heterozygous male and female Hyp mouse. Femora from 12-week-old mice were tested in torsion. The contribution of structural and material properties to mechanical behavior was determined by geometrical evaluation prior to testing and by analysis of the diaphyseal mineral after testing. The male and female Hyp femora were found to undergo significantly more angular deformation at failure than the same sex normal femora (82.49 +/- 24.37 vs. 22.63 +/- 8.02 rad/m [corrected] for the females and 128.90 +/- 37.05 vs. 22.79 +/- 7.24 rad/m [corrected] for the males) and to have a significantly lower structural stiffness (0.373 +/- 0.130 x 10(-3) vs. 1.33 +/- 0.380 x 10(-3) [corrected] [N-m/(rad/m)] for the females and 0.167 +/- 0.104 x 10(-3) vs. 1.60 +/- 0.502 x 10(-3) [corrected] [N-m/(rad/m)] for the males). The male Hyp femora had a significantly lower failure torque than male normal femora (1.58 +/- 0.62 x 10(-2) vs. 3.44 +/- 1.57 x 10(-2) N-m). Because the polar movement of inertia, a geometrical property that affects torsional behavior, was not significantly different between the Hyp femora and the same sex normals, differences in mechanical behavior were attributed to material properties.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Dentinal defects in Hyp mice not caused by hypophosphatemia alone.

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.

Effect of gene dose and parental origin on bone histomorphometry in X-linked Hyp mice.

X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is characterized by rickets and osteomalacia and arises from mutations in the Phex and PHEX genes in mice (Hyp) and humans, respectively. The present study was undertaken to examine the effect of gene dose on the skeletal phenotype using a histomorphometric approach. Metrical traits (vertebral length, growth plate thickness, cancellous osteoid volume per bone volume, and cancellous, endocortical, and periosteal osteoid thickness) were compared in caudal vertebrae of mutant female (Hyp/+, Hyp/Hyp) and male (Hyp/Y) mice and their normal female (+/+) and male (+/Y) littermates. Mutant animals had trait values that differed significantly from those of normal animals. However, with the exception of vertebral length and cancellous osteoid thickness, values were not significantly different between the three mutant genotypes. We also examined the effect of gamete-of-origin on histomorphometric parameters in obligate Hyp/+ females derived from male or female transmitting parents. The metrical trait values in both groups of Hyp/+ mice were similar, with the exception of vertebral length and cancellous osteoid volume per bone volume. In summary, we demonstrate that the amount of osteoid per bone volume is similar in the three mutant genotypes and conclude that the extent and magnitude of the mineralization defect is fully dominant and likely not affected by gene dose. The differences in vertebral length in the mutants suggest that rickets and osteomalacia are not the only causes of decreased vertebral growth in Hyp mice and that Phex protein may influence bone growth and mineralization by distinct pathways.

Cartilage abnormalities are associated with abnormal Phex expression and with altered matrix protein and MMP-9 localization in Hyp mice.

X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (HYP) in humans is caused by mutations in the PHEX gene. This gene mutation is also found in Hyp mice, the murine homologue of the human disease. At present, it is unknown why loss of Phex function leads to cartilage abnormalities in Hyp mice. In the present study, we compared in wild-type and Hyp mice Phex protein localization in cartilage of developing long bone as well as localization of skeletal matrix proteins and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9). Also compared were chondrocyte apoptosis in the growth plate, mineralization and cartilage remnant retention in the metaphysis, and chondroclast/osteoclast characteristics in the primary spongiosa. Phex protein was detected in proliferating and hypertrophic chondrocytes in growth plate cartilage of wild-type mice, but not in Hyp mice. Hyp mice exhibited a widened and irregular hypertrophic zone in growth plate cartilage showing hypomineralization, increased cartilage remnants from the growth plate in both metaphyseal trabecular and cortical bone, and fewer and smaller chondroclasts/osteoclasts in the primary spongiosa. Increased link protein and C-propeptide of type II procollagen of Hyp mice reflected the increase in chondrocytes and matrix in the cartilaginous growth plate and in bone. In addition, growth plate osteocalcin and bone sialoprotein levels were decreased, while osteonectin was increased, in hypertrophic chondrocytes and cartilage matrix in Hyp mice. MMP-9 in hypertrophic chondrocytes was also reduced in Hyp mice and fewer apoptotic hypertrophic chondrocytes were detected. These findings suggest that Phex may control mineralization and removal of hypertrophic chondrocytes and cartilage matrix in growth plate by regulating the synthesis and deposition of certain bone matrix proteins and proteases such as MMP-9.

Resolution of severe, adolescent-onset hypophosphatemic rickets following resection of an FGF-23-producing tumour of the distal ulna.

Oncogenic hypophosphatemic osteomalacia (OHO) is an uncommon hypophosphatemic syndrome characterized by bone pain, proximal muscle weakness and rickets. It has been postulated that OHO results from overproduction of a humoral phosphaturic factor by an occult tumour. Recently, some OHO tumours have been shown to elaborate fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23), which causes renal phosphate wasting when administered to mice. The purpose of this study was to undertake detailed investigations to confirm the diagnosis of OHO in a pediatric patient and to document the biochemical, radiographic and bone histological phenotype before and after tumour removal. We describe an 11-year-old, previously healthy girl with significant pain and functional disability associated with hypophosphatemic rickets. Circulating 1,25-(OH)(2) vitamin D was very low (14 pM; N: 40-140) while the FGF-23 serum level was markedly elevated [359.5 reference units (RU)/ml, N: 33-105]. An iliac bone biopsy revealed severe osteomalacia, but periosteocytic lesions, as are typical for X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets, were not seen. Sequence analyses of the PHEX and FGF23 genes were normal. A radiographic skeletal survey revealed a small exostosis of the left, distal ulnar metaphysis. A tumour was subsequently removed from this site and the pathology was consistent with benign, fibro-osseous tissue. Serum FGF-23 was normal when measured at 7 h post-operatively, while serum phosphate reached the low-normal range at 16 days following surgery. An iliac bone biopsy taken 5 months after the operation showed improvement, but not yet resolution, of the osteomalacia. Biochemical parameters of bone and mineral metabolism suggested that complete resolution of the osteomalacia was not achieved until 12 months following surgery. One year after tumour removal, the patient was pain-free and had resumed a normal level of activity. The rapid normalization of FGF-23 levels following removal of a benign tumour and the subsequent improvement in the biochemical and histological parameters of bone and mineral metabolism suggest that FGF-23 played a key role in this girl's disease.

Positive octreotide scintigraphy and determination of lanreotide activity in Paget's disease of bone associated with phosphate diabetes: a case report.

A patient with Paget's disease developed phosphate diabetes (phosphate: 1.6 mg/dl (2.5-4.4 mg/dl), with 29 ml/min phosphate clearance (Nl<15ml/min) and a 65% phosphate reabsorption rate (Nl>85%). As previously demonstrated in tumor-induced osteomalacia, we hypothesized that osteoblasts might manifest somatostatin receptor activity. The patient underwent an octreotide scan which demonstrated increased uptake localized in affected bone. Under lanreotide treatment (40 mg i.m.), the patient's bone pain improved with a concomitant decrease in phosphate alkaline level. Phosphate clearance and tubular readsorption rate of phosphate did not change significantly. We reviewed previously reported cases of associated Paget's bone disease and phosphate diabetes.

[Genetic hypophosphatemia: recent advances in physiopathogenic concept].

Renal proximal tubular reabsorption of phosphate and intestinal absorption both regulate phosphate homeostasis. Brush-border membrane Npt2a cotransporter is the key element in proximal tubular P (i) reabsorption. Inactivating mutations of Npt2a cause bone demineralisation and urolithiasis. An excess of a phosphaturic factor, called "Phosphatonin", could modulate phosphate reabsorption by inhibition on Npt2a. Inactivating mutation of PHEX, an endopeptidase-membrane coding gene, is responsible for X-linked Hypophosphatemia (XLH), because of an impaired degradation of phosphatonine by PHEX product. Autosomic Dominant Hypophosphatemic Rickets (ADHR) is explained by a mutation preventing FGF23 (one of the best identified phosphatonines) from cleavage. According recent data, FGF23, MEPE (Matrix Extracellular Phosphoglycoprotein) et FRP4 (frizzled related protein-4) are 3 putative "phosphatonines".

Defective adaptation to a low phosphate environment by cultured renal tubular cells from X-linked hypophosphatemic (Hyp) mice.

Effects of parathyroid hormone (PTH), low phosphate environment, and 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) on the phosphate reabsorption by the renal tubular cells from mutant hemizygous hypophosphatemic (Hyp/Y) mice and their littermates (+/Y) were studied using a phosphate accumulation system which had been developed recently. This system mimics phosphate transport at the renal tubules. When cultured in a normal phosphate medium, the characteristics of the phosphate accumulation by Hyp cells was almost identical with that by normal cells; a PTH-induced inhibition and a TPA-induced stimulation of phosphate accumulation. However, when preincubated in a low phosphate medium, the accumulation of phosphate by normal cells increased significantly, while that by Hyp cells did not. These results indicate that the adaptation to the low phosphate environment is defective in Hyp cells and it may be one of the cause of renal phosphate leakage in the Hyp mouse.

The petrous temporal bone and deafness in X-linked hypophosphataemic osteomalacia.

Radiological anatomy of the petrous bones and skull base has been studied in a group of 11 patients with X-linked hypophosphataemic osteomalacia and hearing loss, and comparison made with a control group of normal subjects. Patients with X-linked hypophosphataemic osteomalacia were found to have generalised osteosclerosis and thickening of the petrous bone, with some narrowing of the internal auditory meatus, particularly in its mid-portion. No evidence of platybasia nor of basilar impression was found in the hypophosphataemmic group. The aetiology of the hearing loss which occurs in patients with X-linked hypophosphataemic osteomalacia is discussed in relation to the radiological abnormalities described.

Calcium therapy for calcitriol-resistant rickets.

Ten patients with calcitriol-resistant rickets caused by a defect in the ligand-binding domain of the vitamin D receptor are described. Eight patients, 1.7 to 13.8 years of age, received high doses of elemental calcium (range, 0.4 to 1.4 gm/m2) through indwelling intracaval catheters for periods of 1.8 to 3.8 years. Two other patients, aged 1.1 and 2.2 years, were given oral calcium therapy as the sole mode of treatment. In five of the intravenously treated patients, oral calcium therapy was initiated after radiologic evidence of healing of the rickets. To maintain normal serum calcium concentration, the patients required daily doses of elemental calcium of 3.5 to 9 gm/m2 body surface area. Clinical improvement was observed within a week of the start of intravenous therapy, with disappearance of bone pain; several of the younger patients started to walk for the first time. Growth velocity increased within 2 to 3 months, from a pretreatment rate of -0.8 to -6.3 standard deviation score (SDS), to a posttreatment rate of +0.1 to +5.1 (SDS). Serum calcium, parathyroid hormone, phosphorus, and alkaline phosphatase values returned to normal within a year. Radiologic signs of healing occurred more rapidly in the intravenous treatment groups and in younger patients. Episodes of septicemia occurred frequently in those receiving parenteral therapy and required replacement of the catheter. We recommend that in the treatment of calcitriol-resistant rickets, oral calcium therapy be started at the youngest possible age, in doses to the limit of intestinal tolerance. When rickets is present, calcium should be infused through a large vessel in doses high enough to produce normocalcemia, normophosphatemia, and suppression of parathyroid hormone. Only after radiologic healing has been observed can oral calcium therapy be introduced.

Metabolic and histologic investigation of the nature of nephrocalcinosis in children with hypophosphatemic rickets and in the Hyp mouse.

To investigate the biochemical nature of nephrocalcinosis in children with hypophosphatemic rickets treated with orally administered phosphate and vitamin D, we studied five such patients, aged 3.7 to 12.3 years, during treatment and again 3 days after it had been discontinued. Treatment was associated with significant increases in mean serum phosphate concentration and urine phosphate/creatinine ratio, from 0.71 to 1.03 mmol/L and from 3.61 to 9.42 mmol/mmol, respectively. Significant correlation was found between urine phosphate/creatinine and oxalate/creatinine ratios (r = 0.670; p less than 0.01); however, the mean urine oxalate/creatinine ratio of 65.0 mumol/mmol while patients were taking phosphate orally was not significantly different from the ratio of 59.0 mumol/mmol when treatment was discontinued. Kidney biopsy specimens from three of the patients showed that the renal calcifications were located mainly intratubularly and were composed exclusively of calcium phosphate. In a further investigation of the nature of phosphate-induced nephrocalcinosis, six 6-week-old male Hyp mice, the murine analog of the human disease, received oral phosphate therapy with drinking water for 48 days; six others served as control animals. Mice in the experimental group excreted more phosphate (p less than 0.001) and less calcium (p less than 0.01) than control mice did, and medullary nephrocalcinosis, with a high kidney calcium content, developed (p less than 0.001). Histologic sections showed that the renal calcifications were located intratubularly and were composed of calcium phosphate. We conclude that, both in children with hypophosphatemic rickets and in the Hyp mouse, the development of nephrocalcinosis is associated with high oral phosphate intake and subsequent deposition of calcium phosphate precipitates in the kidney.

Acute effects of calcitriol and phosphate salts on mineral metabolism in children with hypophosphatemic rickets.

We investigated the acute effects of oral administration of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25-(OH)2D) and phosphate on the major mineral metabolism indexes in six children with vitamin D-resistant rickets treated with a long-term regimen of phosphate and calcitriol. Two acute tests were performed in which plasma calcium, phosphate, immunoreactive parathyroid hormone (iPTH) (intact molecule), 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD), and 1,25-(OH)2D levels were measured: the first after an oral phosphate load (20 mg/kg) was administered after calcitriol had been discontinued for 10 days, and the second after a calcitriol load (0.03 microgram/kg) plus the same phosphate load but with the children receiving the usual combination treatment. There were no significant differences in basal levels of calcium, phosphate, iPTH, 25-OHD, or 1,25-(OH)2D between the two tests, nor were delta percent calcium and 25-OHD values significantly different. The delta percent plasma phosphate concentration at 60 minutes was significantly higher during test 2 than during test 1 (p less than 0.01) and delta percent iPTH concentration at 60 minutes was significantly higher during test 1 than during test 2 (p less than 0.01). In test 2 the iPTH level returned to baseline at 180 minutes. Higher delta percent 1,25-(OH)2D values at 60 minutes were observed in test 2 than in test 1 (p less than 0.01). Furthermore, the delta percent 1,25-(OH)2D levels were still higher at 180 minutes in test 2 than during test 1 (p less than 0.01). Our study indicates that oral calcitriol has an inhibitory effect on iPTH secretion in the hours immediately after oral phosphate administration in children with vitamin D-resistant rickets.
