Familial tumoral calcinosis (FTC) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by ectopic calcifications and elevated serum phosphate levels. Recently, mutations in the GALNT3 gene have been described to cause FTC. The FTC phenotype is regarded as the metabolic mirror image of hypophosphatemic conditions, where causal mutations are known in genes FGF23 or PHEX. We investigated an individual with FTC who was negative for GALNT3 mutations. Sequencing revealed a homozygous missense mutation in the FGF23 gene (p.S71G) at an amino acid position which is conserved from fish to man. Wild-type FGF23 is secreted as intact protein and processed N-terminal and C-terminal fragments. Expression of the mutated protein in HEK293 cells showed that only the C-terminal fragment is secreted, whereas the intact protein is retained in the Golgi complex. In addition, determination of circulating FGF23 in the affected individual showed a marked increase in the C-terminal fragment. These results suggest that the FGF23 function is decreased by absent or extremely reduced secretion of intact FGF23. We conclude that FGF23 mutations in hypophosphatemic rickets and FTC have opposite effects on phosphate homeostasis.

Familial tumoral calcinosis (FTC) [online mendelian inheritance in man (OMIM) 211900] is characterized by periarticular calcified masses often localized in the hip, elbow or shoulder (1
Recently, biallelic mutations in the UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosamine:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 3 (GALNT3) gene have been identified in two large families as a cause of FTC. GALNT3 encodes a glycosyltransferase responsible for initiating mucin-type O-glycosylation. The findings suggested that defective post-translational modification underlies this disorder. Furthermore, evidence for heterogeneity has been provided (8
).
We investigated an individual with FTC where GALNT3 mutations have been excluded. FTC seems to represent the metabolic mirror image of hypophosphatemic conditions, which are characterized by decreased serum phosphate levels, reduced tubular phosphate reabsorption and mostly rickets. One of these conditions is X-linked and is caused by loss of function mutations of the putative endopeptidase PHEX (9
) (OMIM 307800). The other condition is caused by gain of function mutations of the putative circulating factor with phosphaturic activity, FGF23 (10
) (OMIM 193100) and a third condition, by over-expression of FGF23 in tumor-induced osteomalacia (11
,12
). We therefore considered these genes candidates for FTC.
Sequence analysis of the FGF23 gene showed a homozygous missense mutation (c.211A>G) in the affected individual resulting in a serine to glycine substitution (p.S71G). During secretion, wild-type FGF23 is processed by subtilisin-like proprotein convertases (SPC) into an N-terminal fragment which constitutes the ß-barrel structure of the FGF protein family and a C-terminal fragment with no homologies to known proteins or motifs (11
,13
,14
). We conclude from expression analysis and determination of FGF23 plasma levels that the novel missense mutation of FGF23 leads to decreased FGF23 function by nil or extremely reduced secretion of intact FGF23. This investigation also suggests FGF23 as a possible target of GALNT3.

Mutation analysis
We studied a 12-year-old boy who presented with typical symptoms of tumoral calcinosis. He had painful swellings at the left elbow and tibia (Supplementary Material, Figs S1 and S2). Repeated measurements showed elevated serum phosphate levels (Table 1) and increased tubular phosphate reabsorption. A dental panoramic radiograph revealed pulp stones at several teeth (Supplementary Material, Fig. S3). After exclusion of GALNT3 mutations, sequencing identified a homozygous substitution (c.211A>G) at the last nucleotide of the first exon. The parents and one sister were heterozygous for the mutation, which was not found in 256 control alleles sequenced previously (Fig. 1) (10
|
|
In order to study whether the mutated serine is evolutionary conserved, we determined the FGF23 sequence in other species by RTPCR (Tetraodon nigroviridis and Danio rerio) or prediction from genomic sequence (Gallus gallus, Xenopus tropicalis and Fugu rubripes). Alignment of the sequences showed complete conservation of the serine residue from fish to mammals (Fig. 2). According to a model of FGF23 generated by the alignment of the protein sequence onto the superimposed crystal structure of FGFs (16
|
Expression in mammalian cells
We then investigated expression and processing of the mutated FGF23 in HEK293 cells. Cells were stably transfected with FGF23 carrying the mutation S71G (FGF23-S71G). Untransfected cells and cells transfected with native FGF23 and the empty pcDNA3.1 vector were used as controls. Western blot analysis was performed on conditioned medium and total cellular lysate using polyclonal antibodies directed against peptides within the N-terminal (anti-FGF234867) (Fig. 3A) and the C-terminal fragments (anti-FGF23173187) (Fig. 3B). In the conditioned medium of cells expressing native FGF23, we detected immunoreactive bands of
30, 18 and 12 kDa, corresponding to secreted intact FGF2325251, N-terminal FGF2325179 and C-terminal FGF23180251, respectively, whereas only after 1 day of exposure, a slight band corresponding to intact FGF2325251 was detected in the cell lysate. In contrast, conditioned medium of cells expressing mutant FGF23-S71G contained almost exclusively C-terminal FGF23180251 (12 kDa). Only very slight bands of intact FGF2325251 and N-terminal FGF2325179 were detected in seven of 10 and four of five experiments, respectively. Surprisingly, we detected a prominent band of
25 kDa with both antibodies within the cell lysates. Other bands were not detected. Although this band migrated faster than FGF2325251 detected in the conditioned medium, it most probably represents intact FGF2325251 in another folding state. Alternatively, the difference in the apparent molecular weight may be caused by post-translational modifications or by digestions at the N- or C-terminal ends. We conclude that most of the mutant intact FGF23-S71G protein remained trapped within the cells, whereas only the C-terminal fragment was secreted.

Subcellular localization of FGF23-S71G protein
As a consequence of mutation, proteins may be misfolded and degraded by the ubiquitinproteasome system, may be transported to lysosomes or may be retained within the endoplasmic reticulum or Golgi apparatus (17
|
Serum levels of FGF23
To investigate the effect of mutant FGF23-S71G in vivo, we measured FGF23 plasma levels with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) detecting C-terminal and intact FGF23 in the patient, his parents, two sisters and five controls (Table 1). The FGF23 levels of normal controls ranged from 25 to 78 RU/ml (median 42 RU/ml), thus being within the normal range, which is <150 RU/ml for this assay (18
| DISCUSSION |
|---|
|
|
|---|
We have previously shown that gain of function mutations in the FGF23 gene cause autosomal dominant hypophosphatemic rickets (ADHR) (10
Interestingly, all FGF23 mutations reported so far in ADHR (R176Q, R179Q, R179W) were located in the cleavage motif (RXXR) for an SPC responsible for processing of the protein (13
,14
,21
). The new mutation in autosomal recessive FTC is located in the N-terminal ß-barrel structure
100 amino acids before the cleavage motif. The serine residue at position 71 is conserved among species, from fish to mammals (Fig. 2). According to structure modeling, it is situated at the end of the loop between strands 3 and 4 of the FGF ß-barrel structure (16
).
Cell culture experiments showed that intact FGF23-S71G is retained within the Golgi complex, whereas the C-terminal fragment is secreted (Figs 3 and 4). Retention in the Golgi complex has also been reported in other mutated proteins (22
). We could not detect the N-terminal fragment either within the cell or in the conditioned medium. We conclude that this fragment is degraded. In order to study whether these in vitro experiments reflect the in vivo situation, we used a commercially available FGF23 sandwich ELISA that uses polyclonal antibodies against peptides within the C-terminal part of FGF23, thereby measuring intact FGF23 as well as the C-terminal fragment. We found markedly elevated levels in the affected individual. Most probably, these levels represent elevated concentrations of the C-terminal fragment as shown in the cell culture experiments. It has been shown that over-expression of full-length FGF23 in nude mice (23
) and in tumor-induced osteomalacia (11
,12
) is associated with hypophosphatemia. It has also been demonstrated that mutated FGF23 in ADHR (10
,21
) or when over-expressed causes hypophosphatemia. It is less well established whether N-terminal FGF2325179 or C-terminal FGF23180251 alone causes renal phosphate wasting. There is only a single report demonstrating that the administration of intact FGF23 to rodents caused renal phosphate wasting, whereas the administration of N-terminal FGF2325179 and C-terminal FGF23180251 did not (23
). The results of this study exclude the possibility that the C-terminal fragment alone can cause phosphate wasting.
Elevated FGF23 levels have recently been reported in two families with FTC due to mutations in the GALNT3 gene (8
). The similarities between FTC caused by GALNT3 and FGF23 mutations, suggest that FGF23 may be a substrate of GALNT3. FGF23 has been described to be O-glycosylated (23
). Nevertheless, it is unlikely that the serine substituted in FGF23-S71G is O-glycosylated. According to structure modeling, this serine is solvent inaccessible (16
) and would sterically not allow O-glycosylation.
Hyperphosphatemia due to increased renal phosphate reabsorption and increased 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D serum levels have also been found in Fgf23 null-mice (19
). However, this mouse model showed, in addition, severe bone tissue abnormalities, severe growth retardation and reduced life span possibly because of marked vascular calcification in the kidneys, impaired renal function and hypoglycemia. These differences between the mouse model and human FTC due to either FGF23 or GALNT3 mutations, can be explained either by residual function of FGF23 in humans or by inadequacy of the mouse model. A residual function may be explained by low levels of mutated intact FGF23, but a physiological function of the abundant C-terminal fragment cannot be excluded.
In conclusion, autosomal recessive hyperphosphatemic FTC is caused by a novel missense mutation in the FGF23 gene. This report provides additional evidence that FGF23 is a physiological regulator of phosphate homeostasis. Further studies will be necessary to understand the role of FGF23 in the regulation of phosphate homeostasis.

Family data and laboratory data
A 12-year-old boy from Austria presented with painful swellings at the left elbow and left tibia. Radiographs showed a calcified tumoral mass at the left elbow and signs of diaphysitis at the left tibia (Supplementary Material, Figs S1 and S2). Biopsy of the tumoral mass confirmed tumoral calcinosis by histologic analysis. Serum phosphate levels were elevated at repeated measurements (Table 1). Calcium (Table 1), parathormone [8.314.6 pg/ml (normal: 1065 pg/ml)], 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [36.250.6 pg/ml (normal: 2046 pg/ml)], AP [127131 U/l (normal: 74390 U/l)] and creatinine [0.440.54 mg/dl (normal: 0.31.0 mg/dl)] levels were normal. Tubular phosphate reabsorption (9397%) and maximal tubular phosphate reabsorption (7.097.33 mg/dl) determined with the nomogram of Bijvoet were elevated (24
Mutation analysis
FGF23 exons were amplified with intronic primers and directly sequenced using a BigDye Cycle sequencing kit (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA). Genomic DNA (
100 ng) was subjected to PCR amplification carried out in a 25 µl volume containing 1xPCR MasterMix (Promega, Madison, WI, USA), 0.25 µM of each forward and reverse primer under the following cycle conditions: 95°C for 5 min, for 1 cycle; 95°C for 30 s, 60°C for 30 s and 72°C for 30 s, for 35 cycles; final extension 72°C for 5 min. Primer sequences are shown in Supplementary Material, Table S1.
Mutagenesis and construction of expression vectors
The mutant FGF23-S71G cDNA (FGF23-S71G) was generated by site-directed mutagenesis (Stratagene, La Jolla, CA, USA) using a native FGF23 plasmid (FGF23/pBS) as template. The full-length FGF23 cDNA and the completely resequenced FGF23-S71G cDNA were subcloned for further experiments into the multiple cloning site of the mammalian expression vector pcDNA3.1 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA).
Cell culture
Human embryonic kidney cells (HEK293) were maintained on RPMI 1640 (1x) with HEPES medium (PAA Laboratories, Cölbe, Germany), supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (FCS), 50 IU/ml penicillin and 50 µg/ml streptomycin (Invitrogen). Cells were stably transfected with empty pcDNA3.1 vector (Invitrogen), native FGF23/pcDNA3.1 or FGF23-S71G/pcDNA3.1 plasmid using EffecteneTM transfection reagent (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany) and single clones were generated. Conditioned medium was collected after culturing the cells in serum-free medium for 24 h and it was concentrated 1 : 20 with Macrosep-omega 10 K concentrators (PALL Life Sciences, Dreieich, Germany) at 4°C. Protein concentrations were determined using the Bradford protein assay (Bio-Rad Laboratories, München, Germany). Cells were washed with PBS (PAA Laboratories), centrifuged for 5 min at 200g and cell pellets were resuspended in 500 µl lysis buffer (10 mM TrisHCl/1% SDS).
Western blot analysis
Protein samples (conditioned medium: 3 µg, cell lysate: 510 µg) were electrophoresed on 12% SDSPAGE and electroblotted onto a BioTrace PVDF membrane (PALL Life Sciences). For the analysis of FGF23 protein, the membranes were incubated with 0.5 µg/ml anti-human FGF23 polyclonal antibody anti-FGF234867 against N-terminal or anti-FGF23173187 against C-terminal peptides, described previously (13
). Followed by detection with secondary HRP-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG antibody (Bio-Rad Laboratories), the signals were visualized with ECL plus system (Amersham Biosciences, Freiburg, Germany).
Immunocytochemistry
HEK293 cells stably expressing mutant FGF23-S71G or native FGF23 protein and untransfected HEK293 cells as control, were grown on coated eight-chamber slides (Nunc, Wiesbaden, Germany) for 48 h. Cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 min at room temperature, washed with PBS and permeabilized in PBS, 0.1% Igepal (Sigma, München, Germany) for 30 min followed by blocking with PBS, 3% BSA and 0.1% Igepal at 37°C. The primary antibody anti-FGF23148163 against an N-terminal peptide was diluted to a concentration of 2.5 µg/ml. Anti-calnexin (AF18) (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), anti-Lamp1 (LY1C6) (Abcam) antibodies, monoclonal antibody against human mitochondria (Chemicon, Temecula, CA, USA) and wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) Alexa Fluor 594 conjugate (Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR, USA) were diluted in the blocking solution as recommended by the manufacturers and incubated for 1 h at 37°C. Slides were washed in PBS, 0.1% Igepal three times for 10 min. The same incubation and washing procedures were used for the secondary antibodies anti-rabbit Alexa fluor 350 nm and anti-mouse Alexa fluor 568 nm (Invitrogen) diluted 1 : 1000 in the blocking solution. Preparations were visualized using an ApoTome Microscope (Zeiss, Jena, Germany).
Circulating FGF23 levels
Plasma samples were isolated by centrifugation and stored at 70°C before biochemical analysis. FGF23 levels were measured using a commercial C-terminal two-site ELISA (Immutopics, San Clemente, CA, USA). The intra-assay CV for this assay is 5% and the inter-assay CV is 7.3%.
