Renal Dnase1 expression is regulated by FGF23 but loss of Dnase1 does not alter renal phosphate handling
Open accessAbstract
Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a bone-derived endocrine hormone that regulates phosphate and vitamin D metabolism. In models of FGF23 excess, renal deoxyribonuclease 1 (Dnase1) mRNA expression is downregulated. Dnase-1 is an endonuclease which binds monomeric actin. We investigated whether FGF23 suppresses renal Dnase-1 expression to facilitate endocytic retrieval of renal sodium dependent phosphate co-transporters (NaPi-IIa/c) from the brush border membrane by promoting actin polymerization. We showed that wild type mice on low phosphate diet and Fgf23−/−mice with hyperphosphatemia have increased renal Dnase1 mRNA expression while in Hyp mice with FGF23 excess and hypophosphatemia,Dnase1 mRNA expression is decreased. Administration of FGF23 in wild type and Fgf23−/−mice lowered Dnase1 expression. Taken together, our data shows that Dnase1 is regulated by FGF23. In 6-week-old Dnase1−/−mice, plasma phosphate and renal NaPi-IIa protein were significantly lower compared to wild-type mice. However, these changes were transient, normalized by 12 weeks of age and had no impact on bone morphology. Adaptation to low and high phosphate diet were similar in Dnase1−/−and Dnase1+/+mice, and loss of Dnase1 gene expression did not rescue hyperphosphatemia in Fgf23−/−mice. We conclude that Dnase-1 does not mediate FGF23-induced inhibition of renal tubular phosphate reabsorption.

In rodent studies, renal Klotho expression is upregulated with low dietary Pi and downregulated with high dietary Pi.
“Similarly, in rodent studies, renal Klotho expression—the main source of plasma soluble Klotho [38]—is upregulated and downregulated with low and high dietary Pi, respectively [18, 40].”
From Controlled dietary phosphate loading in healthy young men elevates plasma phosphate and FGF23 levels (2025) · cites this paper as [18]
The Results section on dietary phosphate reports higher renal Klotho mRNA in Dnase1−/− mice than in wild-type mice fed a low-phosphate diet. That is a genotype comparison, not evidence that lowering dietary phosphate upregulates Klotho; the section does not report Klotho downregulation with a high-phosphate diet. The Discussion’s low/high-diet upregulation and downregulation finding concerns Dnase1, not Klotho (page numbers unavailable). (LLM, conf=0.83)

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.
