Serum levels of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) markedly increase with renal impairment, with FGF23 levels correlating with the presence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). FGF23 activates calcineurin/nuclear factor of activated T cell (NFAT) signaling and induces hypertrophy in murine cardiomyocytes. X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is characterized by high circulating levels of FGF23 but, in contrast to CKD, is associated with hypophosphatemia. The cardiac effects of high circulating levels of FGF23 in XLH are not well defined. Thus, studies were undertaken to define the cardiac phenotype in the mouse model of XLH (Hyp mice). Echocardiographic and histological analyses demonstrated that Hyp left ventricles (LVs) are smaller than those of wild-type mice. Messenger RNA expression of cardiac hypertrophy markers was not altered in the LV or right ventricle of Hyp mice. However, the Hyp LVs had increased expression of the NFAT target genes NFATc1 and RCAN1. To determine whether phosphate alone can induce markers of hypertrophy, differentiated C2C12 myocytes were treated with phosphate. Phosphate treatment increased expression of cardiac hypertrophy markers, supporting a primary role for phosphate in inducing LVH. Although previous studies showed that increased circulating FGF23 and phosphate levels are associated with LVH, our results demonstrated that in XLH, high circulating levels of FGF23 in the setting of hypophosphatemia do not induce cardiac hypertrophy.
