Extracellular sodium regulates fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) formation
Open accessPublished version of a preprint
Abstract
The bone-derived hormone fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) has recently received much attention due to its association with chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular disease progression. Extracellular sodium concentration ([Na + ]) plays a significant role in bone metabolism. Hyponatremia (lower serum [Na + ]) has recently been shown to be independently associated with FGF23 levels in patients with chronic systolic heart failure. However, nothing is known about the direct impact of [Na + ] on FGF23 production. Here, we show that an elevated [Na + ] (+20 mM) suppressed FGF23 formation, whereas low [Na + ] (-20 mM) increased FGF23 synthesis in the osteoblast-like cell lines UMR-106 and MC3T3-E1. Similar bidirectional changes in FGF23 abundance were observed when osmolality was altered by mannitol but not by urea, suggesting a role of tonicity in FGF23 formation. Moreover, these changes in FGF23 were inversely proportional to the expression of NFAT5 (nuclear factor of activated T cells-5), a transcription factor responsible for tonicity-mediated cellular adaptations. Furthermore arginine vasopressin (AVP), which is often responsible for hyponatremia, did not affect FGF23 production. Next, we performed a comprehensive and unbiased RNA-seq analysis of UMR-106 cells exposed to low vs. high [Na + ], which revealed several novel genes involved in cellular adaptation to altered tonicity. Additional analysis of cells with Crisp-Cas9 mediated NFAT5 deletion indicated that NFAT5 controls numerous genes associated with FGF23 synthesis, thereby confirming its role in [Na + ]-mediated FGF23 regulation. In line with these in vitro observations, we found that hyponatremia patients have higher FGF23 levels. Our results suggest that [Na + ] is a critical regulator of FGF23 synthesis.

The literature suggests that high sodium intake is associated with lower cFGF23 expression.
“The literature suggests that high sodium intake is associated with lower cFGF23 expression [27, 29, 48, 62].”
From Controlled dietary phosphate loading in healthy young men elevates plasma phosphate and FGF23 levels (2025) · cites this paper as [48]
The Results section reports an inverse association between serum sodium and cFGF23, and the Abstract reports that elevated extracellular sodium suppressed FGF23 formation in cell lines. Neither establishes that high sodium intake is associated with lower cFGF23; the Abstract explicitly distinguishes dietary salt intake from plasma sodium levels.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
