Background: Elevated serum fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23), an endogenous hormone, is associated with endothelial dysfunction, chronic kidney disease, arterial wall stiffness, and inflammation. These factors may contribute to an increased risk of hypertension. To date, the association of FGF23 with incident hypertension has not been examined. Hypothesis: Elevated serum FGF23 will be positively associated with risk of incident hypertension. Methods: The ARIC study measured intact FGF23 in stored serum from 7,948 middle-aged men and women without hypertension at baseline (1990-92). Participants were examined during two follow-up visits, in 1993-95 and 1996-98. Incident hypertension was determined by measured blood pressure (DBP 90 mm Hg, or SBP140 mm Hg) and/or hypertension medication use during the follow-up exams. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression models and complementary log-log models were used to adjust for potential confounding variables. Results: During a median follow-up of 5.9 years, 27% (2,152/7,948) participants developed hypertension. A nonlinear association between serum FGF23 and incident hypertension was observed; only the highest decile of serum FGF23 was positively associated with incident hypertension (Table). After adjustment for demographics, the hazard ratio for incident hypertension was 1.37 (95% CI: 1.17, 1.60) for the highest decile of FGF23 compared to the lowest quintile. After adjustment for behaviors and adiposity the HR was 1.25 (95% CI: 1.07, 1.46). The association was further attenuated in the final model after adjusting for renal function (HR: 1.20, 95% CI: 1.03, 1.41). Complementary log-log models that accounted for interval censoring did not alter results. Conclusions: High levels ( 60.6 pg/mL) of FGF23 are associated with a modestly increased risk of incident hypertension in the general population. Next steps include replication of these findings in other cohorts, and examining the association with a longer follow-up period.

The fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling pathway plays a key role in tumorigenesis and is recognized as a potential therapeutic target. In this study, the authors aimed to assess the impact of serum FGF23 levels in the prognosis of patients with cancer and bone metastases from solid tumors. A cohort of 112 patients with cancer and metastatic bone disease were treated with bone-targeted agents (BTA). Serum baseline FGF23 was quantified by ELISA and dichotomized in FGF23high and FGF23low groups. Additionally, the association between FGF23 and overall survival (OS) and time to skeletal-related events (TTSRE) was investigated. Baseline characteristics were balanced between groups, except for the median urinary N-terminal telopeptide (uNTX) level. After a median follow-up of 26.0 months, a median OS of 34.4 and 12.2 months was found in the FGF23low and FGF23high groups, respectively (multivariate HR 0.18, 95% CI 0.07–0.44, p = 0.001; univariate HR 0.27, p = 0.001). Additionally, TTSRE was significantly longer for patients with FGF23low (13.0 vs 2.0 months, p = 0.04). Overall, this study found that patients with FGF23low at baseline had longer OS and TTSRE. Further studies are warranted to define its role as a prognostic biomarker and in the use of drugs targeting the FGF axis.

Background: While fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is associated with incident heart failure (HF) and atrial fibrillation (AF), the mechanisms driving these associations are unclear. FGF23 elevation leads to cardiomyocyte calcium handling abnormalities, suggesting that FGF23 may directly reduce myocardial function. Methods: In the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis, a cohort free of cardiovascular disease at recruitment, we evaluated the associations of serum FGF23 (2000-2002) with measures of left ventricular (LV) and left atrial (LA) mechanical function on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) at 10-year follow up (2010-2012). Results: Of 2,276 participants with baseline FGF23 and CMR at 10-year follow up, participants with higher FGF23 levels were more likely white race, taking anti-hypertensive medications, and had lower baseline glomerular filtration rate (GFR). After covariate adjustment, baseline FGF23 levels were independently associated with worse LV global circumferential strain, worse LV mid-wall circumferential strain, and lower LA total emptying fraction in later life ( Table ). The association of FGF23 and LV global circumferential strain was consistent across the spectrum of GFR ( Figure ). While higher FGF23 was associated with higher LV mass (β coefficient per SD higher: 1.14, 95% CI: 0.16, 2.12, P= 0.02), it was not associated with the presence of macroscopic myocardial scar (OR per SD higher: 1.12, 95% CI: 0.86-1.45, P= 0.42). Conclusions: Baseline FGF23 is independently associated with lower LV and LA systolic function in later life. These findings provide mechanistic insight driving the associations of FGF23 with development of both HF and AF.

Abstract Interactions between cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) and renal dysfunction (RD) have been reported, but previous studies were mostly retrospective and limited to measurements of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). In this prospective, longitudinal study of patients with CSVD-related recent small subcortical infarcts (RSSI), we aimed at a comprehensive exploration of markers of early RD and their association with microvascular brain damage. We investigated 101 stroke patients (mean age: 60.2 ± 10.7 years) with an MRI-confirmed RSSI who underwent follow-up brain MRI 15 months post-stroke. Besides serum creatinine and eGFR, we assessed urinary Albumin-Creatinine Ratio and fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23). RD was classified according to recent Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes criteria. We identified 24 patients with RD, only six patients revealed an eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m². RSSI patients with RD more often had severe white matter hyperintensities (WMH, 58% vs. 36%, p = 0.04). CSVD progression was not dependent on RD. However, patients in the highest FGF-23 quartile more frequently had new microangiopathic lesions on follow-up MRI (50% vs. 21%, p = 0.03). Early RD was found in a quarter of RSSI patients and associated with WMH severity, but not CSVD progression. High FGF-23 indicates an increased risk for ongoing microvascular brain damage, warranting further studies.

AbstractElevated fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) levels are associated with adverse outcome in populations with cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney failure. It is unclear if FGF23 has significance in prognosis estimation in patients with acute heart failure (HF) when compared to traditional risk estimation tools. Serum levels of intact FGF23 were assessed in 139 patients admitted to the Intermediate Care Unit of a tertiary hospital for acute HF. Patients were followed-up for one year. After exclusion of patients who were lost to follow-up, data outliers, and patients with sampling errors, the final study cohort comprised 133 patients. The Seattle Heart Failure (SHF) Model was used to estimate one-year survival. FGF23 levels correlated with HF severity and were strongly associated with one-year mortality. Associations between one-year outcome and FGF23, assessed on day 1 after admission, were still evident after multivariable adjustment (OR 15.07; 95%CI 1.75–129.79; p = 0.014). FGF23 levels predicted the one-year outcome with similar accuracy as the SHF Model, both if assessed on day 1 and on day 2 after admission (FGF23d1: AUC 0.784; 95%CI 0.669–0.899; FGF23d2: AUC 0.766; 95%CI 0.631–0.901; SHF: AUC 0.771; 95%CI 0.651–0.891). The assessment of FGF23 in patients with acute HF might help identify high-risk patients that are more prone to complications, need a closer follow-up and more aggressive treatment.
