Abstract

Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is now recognized as a key regulator of phosphate metabolism. Numerous reports have found elevated serum FGF23 concentrations in oncogenic osteomalacia associated with mesenchymal tumors. Hypophosphatemic osteomalacia more rarely occurs in non-mesenchymal tumors. We identified elevated serum FGF23 levels in one patient with chronic lymphatic leukemia (CLL) and hypophosphatemia, prompting us to examine FGF23 concentrations in other patients with B-cell neoplasms. FGF23 levels were elevated in several patients with myeloma and monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), and were significantly associated with serum paraprotein and beta-2 microglobulin concentrations in these patients. Hypophosphatemia was not observed even in those patients with elevated FGF23, and a weak positive correlation was noted between serum FGF23 and phosphate concentrations. Malignant plasma cells in bone marrow trephines from patients with myeloma showed cytoplasmic expression of FGF23, similar to the cytoplasmic localization of FGF23 already described in mesenchymal tumors associated with oncogenic osteomalacia. Our findings contribute to an expanding literature regarding abnormal FGF/FGF receptor-sign...Continue Reading

Cardiac Cachexia

Cardiac cachexia is a syndrome associated with the progressive loss of muscle and fat mass. It most commonly affects patients with heart failure and can significantly decrease the quality of life and survival in these patients. Here is the latest research on cardiac cachexia.

Cachexia & Brown Fat

Cachexia is a condition associated with progressive weight loss due to severe illness. In cancer patients, it is proposed to occur as a result of tumor-induced energy wasting. Several proteins have been implicated in browning and depletion of white adipose tissue. Here is the latest research on cachexia and brown fat.

B-Cell Leukemia (Keystone)

B-cell leukemia includes various types of lymphoid leukemia that affect B cells. Here is the latest research on B-cell leukemia.

Calcium & Bioenergetics

Bioenergetic processes, including cellular respiration and photosynthesis, concern the transformation of energy by cells. Here is the latest research on the role of calcium in bioenergetics.

B cell Differentiation

Depending on the signal received through the B cell receptor and other receptors, B cells differentiate into follicular or marginal zone B cells. Here is the latest research pertaining to this differentiation process.
