FGF23 (fibroblast growth factor 23) is a novel phosphaturic factor that influences vitamin D metabolism and renal re-absorption of Pi. The goal of the present study was to characterize the role of the VDR (vitamin D receptor) in FGF23 action using VDR(−/−) (VDR null) mice. Injection of FGF23M (naked DNA encoding the R179Q mutant of human FGF23) into VDR(−/−) and wildtype VDR(+/+) mice resulted in an elevation in serum FGF23 levels, but had no effect on serum calcium or parathyroid hormone levels. In contrast, injection of FGF23M resulted in significant decreases in serum Pi levels, renal Na/Pi co-transport activity and type II transporter protein levels in both groups when compared with controls injected with mock vector or with FGFWT (naked DNA encoding wild-type human FGF23). Injection of FGF23M resulted in a decrease in 25-hydroxyvitamin D 1α-hydroxylase mRNA levels in VDR(−/−) and VDR(+/+) mice, while 25-hydroxyvitamin D 24-hydroxylase mRNA levels were significantly increased in FGF23M-treated animals compared with mock vector control- or FGF23WT-treated animals. The degree of 24-hydroxylase induction by FGF23M was dependent on the VDR, since FGF23M significantly reduced the levels of serum 1,25(OH)2D3 [1,25-hydroxyvitamin D3] in VDR(+/+) mice, but not in VDR(−/−) mice. We conclude that FGF23 reduces renal Pi transport and 25-hydroxyvitamin D 1α-hydroxylase levels by a mechanism that is independent of the VDR. In contrast, the induction of 25-hydroxyvitamin D 24-hydroxylase and the reduction of serum 1,25(OH)2D3 levels induced by FGF23 are dependent on the VDR.

Critical to an understanding of the control of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25D) activity is a molecular appreciation of the regulation of three genes, 25-hydroxyvitamin D-1alpha-hydroxylase (CYP27B1), 25-hydroxyvitamin D-24-hydroxylase (CYP24) and vitamin D receptor (VDR). We now report the sensitivity, reproducibility and accuracy of a real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction protocol (Taqman) for the quantification of mRNA levels for these genes in total RNA extracted from kidney tIssue. The sensitivity of the protocol was at least 150 copies of mRNA per reaction. Reproducibility, expressed as the coefficient of variation, ranged between 14 and 30% at the level of approximately 10(4) copies of mRNA per reaction. Accuracy was estimated at greater than 95% for each of these mRNAs. This protocol allows for the comparison of absolute mRNA levels in extracted total RNA in kidneys from animals fed diets containing different levels of calcium, ranging from 0.05% to 1%. Serum 1,25D levels were decreased when the dietary calcium concentration was increased (P<0.05). The levels of CYP27B1 mRNA were highest in the animals fed the 0.05% calcium diet (P<0.01). Conversely, CYP24 and VDR mRNA levels were highest in the animals fed the 1% calcium diet (P<0.01). Both CYP27B1 and CYP24 mRNA levels were major determinants of serum 1,25D levels when dietary calcium intakes were varied in these adult animals (Multiple R(2)=0.70, P<0.01). No significant relationship was detected between kidney CYP27B1 and serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) suggesting that serum calcium may regulate CYP27B1 mRNA expression directly during normocalcaemia. Low levels of CYP24 mRNA were associated with high PTH levels. These findings suggest that kidney CYP24 activity, possibly regulated by factors such as PTH, acts in concert with kidney CYP27B1 to control serum 1,25D levels.

AbstractHypercalcemia occurs in up to 4% of the population in association with malignancy, primary hyperparathyroidism, ingestion of excessive calcium and/or vitamin D, ectopic production of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH)2D], and impaired degradation of 1,25(OH)2D. The ingestion of excessive amounts of vitamin D3 (or vitamin D2) results in hypercalcemia and hypercalciuria due to the formation of supraphysiological amounts of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] that bind to the vitamin D receptor, albeit with lower affinity than the active form of the vitamin, 1,25(OH)2D, and the formation of 5,6-trans 25(OH)D, which binds to the vitamin D receptor more tightly than 25(OH)D. In patients with granulomatous disease such as sarcoidosis or tuberculosis and tumors such as lymphomas, hypercalcemia occurs as a result of the activity of ectopic 25(OH)D-1-hydroxylase (CYP27B1) expressed in macrophages or tumor cells and the formation of excessive amounts of 1,25(OH)2D. Recent work has identified a novel cause of non-PTH-mediated hypercalcemia that occurs when the degradation of 1,25(OH)2D is impaired as a result of mutations of the 1,25(OH)2D-24-hydroxylase cytochrome P450 (CYP24A1). Patients with biallelic and, in some instances, monoallelic mutations of the CYP24A1 gene have elevated serum calcium concentrations associated with elevated serum 1,25(OH)2D, suppressed PTH concentrations, hypercalciuria, nephrocalcinosis, nephrolithiasis, and on occasion, reduced bone density. Of interest, first-time calcium renal stone formers have elevated 1,25(OH)2D and evidence of impaired 24-hydroxylase-mediated 1,25(OH)2D degradation. We will describe the biochemical processes associated with the synthesis and degradation of various vitamin D metabolites, the clinical features of the vitamin D-mediated hypercalcemia, their biochemical diagnosis, and treatment.

Flanking Region

The enzyme 25-hydroxyvitamin D 1α-hydroxylase, or CYP27B1, is the key enzyme in the two-step activation process of vitamin D to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25D). While a number of regulators of the renal CYP27B1 enzyme activity have been recognized for some years, their underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown, and the DNA regions involved in the in vivo regulation of gene expression by these factors have not been delineated. We have generated a transgenic mouse line that expresses 1501 bp of 5′ flanking region together with 44 bp of 5′ untranslated region of the human CYP27B1 gene fused to the firefly luciferase reporter gene. Animals expressing the luciferase gene demonstrated that both luciferase protein and mRNA for CYP27B1 were localized to proximal convoluted tubule cells of the kidney. In 2-week-old animals, the expression of the transgene and the endogenous CYP27B1 mRNA levels in the kidney were highest and fell with increasing age. Both reporter gene expression and CYP27B1 mRNA levels were downregulated in response to increasing amounts of dietary calcium in a dose-dependent manner. Vitamin D deficiency resulted in an increase in both the reporter gene and CYP27B1 expression. Interestingly, the increase in CYP27B1 mRNA levels was substantially higher than the increase in reporter gene expression, suggesting either that there is a post-transcriptional mechanism that increases the amount of CYP27B1 mRNA or that other regulatory elements are required to maximize the effect of vitamin D deficiency. These findings demonstrate that the 1501 bp 5′ flanking region of the CYP27B1 gene directs expression to the proximal convoluted tubules of the kidney and is responsible for increasing transcriptional activity when dietary calcium and vitamin D levels are depleted. It also responds in the kidney to the physiological regulators of development and ageing.

Abstract Background Vitamin D deficiency occurs frequently in patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). While recent cohort studies support an association of vitamin D with important clinical parameters and outcomes in IBD, the complex interplay of inflammation with vitamin D metabolism in IBD poses a viscious circle. We sought to further illucidate the relation between inflammation and different vitamin D parameters. To the best our knowledge, this was the first study to focus on the relationship between vitamin D binding protein (VDBP), circulating total, free, and bioavailable 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), and inflammation, in adult IBD patients. Methods This was a comparative, single-centred, cross-sectional study in patients with IBD aged 18–65 years. Full blood count, transferrin, albumin and hsCRP were determined by standard methods. The presence/absence of inflammation was assessed based on serum hsCRP levels (cutoff &lt;5mg/l). VDBP levels were determined by ELISA, and 25(OH)D by LCMS. Free and bioavailable vitamin D levels were calculated using the validated formula. IBM SPSS version 25.0 was used for statistical analysis. Results In total, 129 subjects with IBD (70 male/59 female; 82 CD/47 UC; mean age 41.7 ± 12.6 years) were enrolled. Of these, 38/129 had inflammation (19 m/19 f; 26 CD/12 UC; 39.6 ± 12.9 years) while 91/129 had no inflammation (40 m/51 f; 56 CD/35 UC; 42.5 ± 12.5 years). Subjects with disease activity had significantly higher leukocyte, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and hsCRP, but lower transferrin, transferrin saturation (TSAT) and albumin levels than those without inflammation (p &lt; 0.05). Average serum levels of 25(OH)D (24.6[6.8–54.8] vs. 26.4[5.0–74.4]ng/ml), free 25(OH)D (5.9[1.3–13.3] vs. 1.0[1.0–21.4]ng/ml) and bioavailable 25(OH)D(2.3 [0.1–4.7] vs. 2.4[0.5–19.5]ng/ml) were similar in patients with vs. without inflammation (p &gt; 0.05). However, VDBP levels were significantly higher in inflammatory conditions (359.6[252.2–530.6] mg/l vs. 327.4[183.5–560.3]mg/l; p &lt; 0.05) and showed a positive correlation with CRP levels (0.293, p &lt; 0.001). Ratio of free/total 25(OH)D correlated negatively with CRP levels (−0.282, p = 0.002). Conclusion High levels of circulating VDBP were associated with inflammatory activity. Moreover, free/total 25(OH)D ratio was inversely associated with inflammation. Other vitamin D parameters including total, free and bioavailable 25(OH)D showed no association with inflammation. These findings suggest that VDBP may play a bigger role than thought as a modulator of vitamin D and inflammation, and that simultaneous detection and investigation of plasma VDBP may provide additional insights into this complex interaction.
