Abstrakt: | Background: Nephron loss dramatically increases tubular phosphate to concentrations that exceed supersaturation. Osteopontin (OPN) is a matricellular protein that enhances mineral solubility in solution; however, the role of OPN in maintaining urinary phosphate solubility in CKD remains undefined. Methods: Here, we examined ( 1 ) the expression patterns and timing of kidney/urine OPN changes in CKD mice, ( 2 ) if tubular injury is necessary for kidney OPN expression in CKD, ( 3 ) how OPN deletion alters kidney mineral deposition in CKD mice, ( 4 ) how neutralization of the mineral-binding (ASARM) motif of OPN alters kidney mineral deposition in phosphaturic mice, and ( 5 ) the in vitro effect of phosphate-based nanocrystals on tubular epithelial cell OPN expression. Results: Tubular OPN expression was dramatically increased in all studied CKD murine models. Kidney OPN gene expression and urinary OPN/Cr ratios increased before changes in traditional biochemical markers of kidney function. Moreover, a reduction of nephron numbers alone (by unilateral nephrectomy) was sufficient to induce OPN expression in residual nephrons and induction of CKD in OPN-null mice fed excess phosphate resulted in severe nephrocalcinosis. Neutralization of the ASARM motif of OPN in phosphaturic mice resulted in severe nephrocalcinosis that mimicked OPN-null CKD mice. Lastly, in vitro experiments revealed calcium-phosphate nanocrystals to induce OPN expression by tubular epithelial cells directly. Conclusions: Kidney OPN expression increases in early CKD and serves a critical role in maintaining tubular mineral solubility when tubular phosphate concentrations are exceedingly high, as in late-stage CKD. Calcium-phosphate nanocrystals may be a proximal stimulus for tubular OPN production. Competing Interests: J. Boulanger reports being an employee of Sanofi-Genzyme. S.
