Decrease in serum FGF23 levels after intravenous infusion of pamidronate in patients with osteogenesis imperfecta.
Summary of "Decrease in serum FGF23 levels after intravenous infusion of pamidronate in patients with osteogenesis imperfecta."
Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) plays a central role in phosphate (P) homeostasis. However, the precise mechanism of how FGF23 secretion is regulated remains to be elucidated. In the present study, we examined the effect of intravenous pamidronate administration on serum levels of FGF23. Thirteen patients with osteogenesis imperfecta were treated with two cycles of 3-day pamidronate infusion. Blood samples at pre- and post-drip pamidronate infusion were evaluated for serum calcium, P, intact PTH (iPTH), 1,25(OH)(2)D, intact FGF23 (FGF23), type I collagen cross-linked N-telopeptides (NTx), bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP), and TmP/GFR. During the two cycles, FGF23 levels decreased significantly preceding the decline in P levels. Although the change in P levels became less apparent during the second cycle, the reduction in FGF23 levels was similar during both cycles. Moreover, absence of correlation between FGF23 and P indicates that FGF23 attenuation is independent of the decrease in P levels during pamidronate infusion. Significant correlation between NTx suppression and the decrease in FGF23 levels during the 1st cycle (r = 0.665, P = 0.013) suggests that inhibition of osteoclast function may have some role in suppressing FGF23 levels. Because pamidronate dose was most associated with the decrease in FGF23 levels during the second cycle, pamidronate may directly attenuate osteocyte/osteoblast-mediated FGF23 production. This is the first evidence of a rapid fall in FGF23 levels following pamidronate infusion, raising the possibility that inhibition of bone resorption and/or direct effects of pamidronate may suppress secretion of FGF23.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Immunoglobulins, Intravenous
Immunoglobulin preparations used in intravenous infusion, containing primarily IMMUNOGLOBULIN G. They are used to treat a variety of diseases associated with decreased or abnormal immunoglobulin levels including pediatric AIDS; primary HYPERGAMMAGLOBULINEMIA; SCID; CYTOMEGALOVIRUS infections in transplant recipients, LYMPHOCYTIC LEUKEMIA, CHRONIC; Kawasaki syndrome, infection in neonates, and IDIOPATHIC THROMBOCYTOPENIC PURPURA.
Prealbumin
A tetrameric protein, molecular weight between 50,000 and 70,000, consisting of 4 equal chains, and migrating on electrophoresis in 3 fractions more mobile than serum albumin. Its concentration ranges from 7 to 33 per cent in the serum, but levels decrease in liver disease.
Glucose Tolerance Test
A test to determine the ability of an individual to maintain HOMEOSTASIS of BLOOD GLUCOSE. It includes measuring blood glucose levels in a fasting state, and at prescribed intervals before and after oral glucose intake (75 or 100 g) or intravenous infusion (0.5 g/kg).
Hyperthyroxinemia, Familial Dysalbuminemic
An inherited autosomal dominant trait characterized by abnormally elevated levels of total serum THYROXINE; (T4) in euthyroid patients with abnormal SERUM ALBUMIN that binds T4 with enhanced affinity. The serum levels of free T4, free T3, and TSH are normal. It is one of several T4 abnormalities produced by non-thyroid disorder. This condition is due to mutations of the ALB gene on CHROMOSOME 4.
Infusion Pumps
Fluid propulsion systems driven mechanically, electrically, or osmotically that are used to inject (or infuse) over time agents into a patient or experimental animal; used routinely in hospitals to maintain a patent intravenous line, to administer antineoplastic agents and other drugs in thromboembolism, heart disease, diabetes mellitus (INSULIN INFUSION SYSTEMS is also available), and other disorders.
