Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a bone-derived hormone involved in the control of phosphate (P) homeostasis and vitamin D metabolism. Despite advances, however, molecular details of this gene’s regulation remain uncertain. In this report, we created mouse strains in which four epigenetically marked FGF23 regulatory regions were individually deleted from the mouse genome using CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology, and the consequences of these mutations were then assessed on Fgf23 expression and regulation in vivo. An initial analysis confirmed that bone expression of Fgf23 and circulating intact FGF23 (iFGF23) were strongly influenced by both chronic dietary P treatment and acute injection of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3]. However, further analysis revealed that bone Fgf23 expression and iFGF23 could be rapidly upregulated by dietary P within 3 and 6 hours, respectively; this acute upregulation was lost in the FGF23-PKO mouse containing an Fgf23 proximal enhancer deletion but not in the additional enhancer-deleted mice. Of note, prolonged dietary P treatment over several days led to normalization of FGF23 levels in the FGF23-PKO mouse, suggesting added complexity associated with P regulation of FGF23. Treatment with 1,25(OH)2D3 also revealed a similar loss of Fgf23 induction and blood iFGF23 levels in this mouse. Finally, normal lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induction of Fgf23 expression was also compromised in the FGF23-PKO mouse, a result that, together with our previous report, indicates that the action of LPS on Fgf23 expression is mediated by both proximal and distal Fgf23 enhancers. These in vivo data provide key functional insight into the genomic enhancers through which Fgf23 expression is mediated.
