FGF23 directly inhibits osteoprogenitor differentiation in Dmp1-knockout mice.

ABSTRACT: Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a phosphate-regulating (Pi-regulating) hormone produced by bone. Hereditary hypophosphatemic disorders are associated with FGF23 excess, impaired skeletal growth, and osteomalacia. Blocking FGF23 became an effective therapeutic strategy in X-linked hypophosphatemia, but testing remains limited in autosomal recessive hypophosphatemic rickets (ARHR). This study investigates the effects of Pi repletion and bone-specific deletion of Fgf23 on bone and mineral metabolism in the dentin matrix protein 1-knockout (Dmp1KO) mouse model of ARHR. At 12 weeks, Dmp1KO mice showed increased serum FGF23 and parathyroid hormone levels, hypophosphatemia, impaired growth, rickets, and osteomalacia. Six weeks of dietary Pi supplementation exacerbated FGF23 production, hyp
