Differential regulation of PHEX expression in bone and parathyroid gland by chronic renal insufficiency and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D<sub>3</sub>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Mutations in the PHEX gene are responsible for X-linked hypophosphatemia, a renal phosphate-wasting disorder associated with defective skeletal mineralization. PHEX is predominantly expressed in bones and teeth and in the parathyroid gland of patients with chronic renal failure and tertiary hyperparathyroidism. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of renal insufficiency and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3] on the regulation of PHEX expression in rat tibia and parathyroid gland. In rats fed a high-phosphate (Pi) diet, nephrectomy elicited a significant increase in the serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) concentration that was associated with a significant increase in the abundance of PHEX mRNA and protein in the tibia and a significant increase in PHEX mRNA in the parathyroid gland. In contrast, 1,25(OH)2D3 administration to intact rats fed a control diet elicited a significant decrease in the serum PTH concentration that was accompanied by a significant decrease in PHEX mRNA and protein abundance in the tibia and a significant decrease in PHEX mRNA in the parathyroid gland. In addition, the increases in serum PTH levels and PHEX mRNA in the tibia and parathyroid gland in nephrectomized rats fed a high-Pi diet were blunted by 1,25(OH)2D3. Serum PTH concentration was positively and significantly correlated with tibial PHEX mRNA and protein abundance. In summary, we demonstrate that PHEX expression in the tibia and parathyroid gland is increased by chronic renal insufficiency and decreased by 1,25(OH)2D3 administration and suggest that PTH status may play an important role in mediating these changes in PHEX expression.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
