Abstract
- Chronic kidney disease (CKD) frequently leads to hyperphosphatemia and hyperparathyroidism, mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD), ectopic calcifications and cardiovascular mortality. PTH activates the osteoanabolic Gαs/PKA and the Gαq/11/PKC pathways in osteoblasts, the specific impact of the latter in CKD-MBD is unknown. We generated osteoblast specific Gαq/11 knockout (KO) mice and established CKD-MBD by subtotal nephrectomy and dietary phosphate load. Bone morphology was assessed by micro-CT, osteoblast function by bone planar scintigraphy at week 10 and 22 and by histomorphometry. Osteoblasts isolated from Gαq/11 KO mice increased cAMP but not IP3 in response to PTH 1-34, demonstrating the specific KO of the PKC signaling pathway. Osteoblast specific Gαq/11 KO mice exhibited increased serum calcium and reduced bone cortical thickness and mineral density at 24 weeks. CKD Gαq/11 KO mice had similar bone morphology compared to WT, while CKD Gαq/11-KO on high phosphate diet developed decreased metaphyseal and diaphyseal cortical thickness and area, as well as a reduction in trabecular number. Gαq/11-KO increased bone scintigraphic tracer uptake at week 10 and mitigated tracer uptake in CKD mice at week 22. Histological bone parameters indicated similar trends. Gαq/11-KO in osteoblast modulates calcium homeostasis, bone formation rate, bone morphometry, and bone mineral density. In CKD and high dietary phosphate intake, osteoblast Gαq/11/PKC KO further aggravates mineral bone disease.
