Definitions
- This invention relates to an isolated polynucleotide encoding an oncogenic osteomalacia-related gene and to methods of using this gene to modulate the activity of cells and diagnose and treat diseases characterized by abnormal phosphate metabolism or bone mineralization.
- Oncogenic osteomalacia is an acquired hypophosphatemic syndrome associated with a variety of mesenchymal tumors and is characterized by low serum levels of phosphate and calcitriol, inappropriate phosphaturia secondary to inhibition of proximal renal tubular phosphate reabsorption, and defective bone demineralization.
- OOM is caused by a humoral factor, termed phosphatonin (PTN), that is produced by these mesenchymal tumors.
- PTN humoral factor
- Tumor extracts can inhibit phosphate transport in vitro and produce phosphaturia and hypophosphatemia in vivo.
- surgical removal of tumor tissue results in normalization of serum phosphorous and calcitriol, reverses phosphaturia and eventually results in remineralization of bone.
- the mesenchymal tumors that are associated with OOM are characteristically slow-growing, complex, polymorphous neoplasms. Many of these mesenchymal tumors contain areas of dystrophic calcification, osseous metaplasia, poorly differentiated foci of chondroid tissue and osteoclast-like giant cells. The presence of these bony elements and calcification suggest these tumors express genes that have important functions in bone formation and mineralization.
- OOM is clinically and biochemically similar to inherited disorders of phosphate wasting, X-linked Hypophosphatemic Rickets (XLH) and Autosomal Dominant Hypophosphatemic Rickets (ADHR).
- XLH is caused by haploinsufficency of PHEX, an endopeptidase whose substrate is yet undefined.
- FGF-23 a novel member of the fibroblast growth factor family
- PTHrP parathyroid hormone related-pep tide
- Efforts to identify and isolate the phosphaturic humoral factor produced by some of these mesenchymal tumors have been hampered by difficulty propagating the tumors. Moreover, the tumors often cease making the phosphaturic factor with passage in culture.
- This invention provides methods for modulating phosphate homeostasis and/or renal phosphate transport by delivering agents that alter the expression of the FGF 23 gene or alter the activity of the FGF 23 protein.
- the methods of the invention are useful for one or more of modulating bone mineralization, modulating renal phosphate transport, alleviating oncogenic osteomalacia-associated symptoms and treating phosphate homeostasis-related disease.
- the invention further provides methods for reducing phosphate re-absorption by delivering to a subject FGF 23 protein or polynucleotides that encode the FGF 23 protein.
- the invention provides methods for detecting and monitoring expression of the FGF 23 gene.
- the invention provides methods for modulating the phenotype of a neoplastic cell associated with oncogenic osteomalacia by delivering an agent that alters the expression of the FGF 23 gene. Additionally, the invention provides methods for screening candidate agents to identify compositions that modify the activity of the FGF 23 gene and protein.
- the invention provides for methods of modulating the activity of cells (e.g., responsiveness to a hormone or activator), by delivering to the cell the FGF 23 protein or polynucleotides that encode the FGF 23 protein.
- This invention provides isolated polynucleotides useful in the methods identified herein.
- the polynucleotides encode FGF 23 protein and are intended to include DNA, cDNA, RNA and genomic DNA.
- Expression systems, including gene delivery vehicles such as liposomes and vectors, and host cells containing the polynucleotides are further provided by this invention.
- the present invention also provides proteins encoded by the polynucleotides.
- nucleic acid probes and primers that hybridize to invention polynucleotides are provided, as well as isolated nucleic acids comprising unique, expressed gene sequences.
- the present invention further includes antisense oligonucleotides, antibodies, hybridoma cell lines and compositions containing same.
- the present invention also provides methods of monitoring gene expression using invention polynucleotides.
- the methods of monitoring gene expression are useful for detecting a cell expressing oncogenic osteomalacia-related polypeptide and for detecting a neoplastic cell associated with oncogenic osteomalacia.
- This invention further provides methods for modulating the expression of the inventive polynucleotides, for altering the activity of the proteins encoded by the polynucleotides, and for treating symptoms of phosphate transport related diseases and diseases characterized by abnormal bone mineralization.
- diseases include but are not limited to, oncogenic osteomalacia, X-linked hypophosphataemia rickets, rhabdomyolysis, osteoporosis, cardiamyopathy, tumoral calcinosis, renal failure, bone mineralization and low turnover bone disease.
- This invention also provides a method for screening for candidate agents that modulate the expression of a polynucleotide of the invention or its complement, by contacting a test agent with a neoplastic cell associated with oncogenic osteomalacia and monitoring expression of the polynucleotide, wherein the test agent which modifies the expression of the polynucleotide is a candidate agent.
- Figure 1 shows Sequence ID No. 1 ("SEQ ID NOT”), a polynucleotide encoding FGF 23. The sequence is reproduced from GenBank Accession No. NM_020638, that was submitted in connection with White, K.E., et al. (2000) Nat. Genetics 26(3):345-348.
- Figure 2 shows the amino acid sequence containing 251 amino acid residues is SEQ ID NO:2.
- An alternative sequences encoding human FGF23 is available under GenBank Accession No. XP_007056.
- a cell includes a plurality of cells, including mixtures thereof.
- compositions and methods include the recited elements, but not excluding others.
- Consisting essentially of when used to define compositions and methods shall mean excluding other elements of any essential significance to the combination.
- a composition consisting essentially of the elements as defined herein would not exclude trace contaminants from the isolation and purification method and pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, such as phosphate buffered saline, preservatives, and the like.
- Consisting of shall mean excluding more than trace elements of other ingredients and substantial method steps for administering the compositions of this invention. Embodiments defined by each of these transition terms are within the scope of this invention.
- polynucleotide and “nucleic acid molecule” are used interchangeably to refer to polymeric forms of nucleotides of any length.
- the polynucleotides may contain deoxyribonucleotides, ribonucleotides, and/or their analogs.

- a nucleic acid molecule may also comprise modified nucleic acid molecules.
- a “gene” refers to a polynucleotide containing at least one open reading frame that is capable of encoding a particular polypeptide or protein after being transcribed and translated.
- FGF 23 gene is a polynucleotide comprising an ordered sequence of nucleotides located in a particular position on a particular chromosome that encodes a polypeptide, such as the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ. ID NO 2 ( Figure 2).
- the term gene is intended to include contiguous polynucleotide sequences such as promoters and enhancers that modulate expression.
- FGF 23 gene refers to all orthologous sequences from divergent species, ie. homologous sequences encoding polypeptides that have the same activity in different species. It is particularly intended to include the FGF 23 genes of humans, simians and rodents.
- FGF 23 polynucleotide means any ordered sequence of polynucleotides that encode polypeptide, a portion of such a peptide, or a portion of the FGF 23 gene.
- An "FGF 23 polynucleotide” thus include cDNA's, probes, primers, and other molecules comprising polynucleotide sequences derived from the complete FGF 23 gene, eg. biologically equivalent polynucleotides.
- Biologically equivalent polynucleotides are polynucleotides which differ from the polynucleotides described above, but produce the same phenotypic effect, such as the allele, splice variant and homolog. These altered, but phenotypically equivalent polynucleotides are referred to as "biologically equivalent polynucleotide” and "equivalent nucleic acids.”
- the methods of the invention also encompasses polynucleotides characterized by changes in non-coding regions that do not alter the phenotype of the polypeptide produced therefrom when compared to the polynucleotide herein. This invention further envisions the use of polynucleotides, which hybridize to the polynucleotides of the subject invention under conditions of moderate or high stringency.
- Bioly equivalent polynucleotides useful in the methods of this invention are identified using sequence homology searches.
- Several embodiments of biologically equivalent polynucleotides are within the scope of this invention, e.g., those characterized by possessing at least 75%, or at least 80%, or at least 90% or at least 95% sequence homology as determined using a sequence alignment program under default parameters correcting for ambiguities in the sequence data, changes in nucleotide sequence that do not alter the amino acid sequence because of degeneracy of the genetic code, conservative amino acid substitutions and corresponding changes in nucleotide sequence, and variations in the lengths of the aligned sequences due to splicing variants or small deletions or insertions between sequences that do not affect function.
- Non-limiting examples of these programs are BLAST family programs including BLASTN, BLASTP, BLASTX, TBLASTN, and TBLASTX (BLAST is available from the worldwide web at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/BLAST/), FastA, Compare, DotPlot, BestFit, GAP, FrameAlign, ClustalW, and PileUp. These programs can be obtained commercially in a comprehensive package of sequence analysis software such as GCG Inc.'s Wisconsin Package. Other similar analysis and alignment programs can be purchased from various providers such as DNA Star's MegAlign, or the alignment programs in GeneJockey.
- sequence analysis and alignment programs can be accessed through the world wide web at sites such as the CMS Molecular Biology Resource at http://www.sdsc.edu ResTools/cmshp.html.
- Any sequence database that contains DNA or protein sequences corresponding to a gene or a segment thereof can be used for sequence analysis. Commonly employed databases include but are not limited to GenBank, EMBL, DDBJ, PDB, SWISS-PROT, EST, STS, GSS, and HTGS. Sequence similarity can be discerned by aligning the tag sequence against a DNA sequence database.
- the tag sequence can be translated into six reading frames; the predicted peptide sequences of all possible reading frames are then compared to individual sequences stored in a protein database such as s done using the BLASTX program.
- Parameters for determining the extent of homology set forth by one or more of the aforementioned alignment programs are well established in the art. They include but are not limited to p value, percent sequence identity and the percent sequence similarity. P value is the probability that the alignment is produced by chance. For a single alignment, the p value can be calculated according to Karlin et al. (1990) PNAS 87: 2246. For multiple alignments, the p value can be calculated using a heuristic approach such as the one programmed in BLAST. Percent sequence identify is defined by the ratio of the number of nucleotide or amino acid matches between the query sequence and the known sequence when the two are optimally aligned.
- the percent sequence similarity is calculated in the same way as percent identity except one scores amino acids that are different but similar as positive when calculating the percent similarity.
- conservative changes that occur frequently without altering function such as a change from one basic amino acid to another or a change from one hydrophobic amino acid to another are scored as if they were identical.
- a tag sequence is considered to lack substantial homology with any known sequences when the regions of alignment of comparable length exhibit less than 30% of sequence identity, more preferably less than 20% identity, even more preferably less than 10% identity.
- polynucleotides useful for practicing the methods of the invention can comprise additional sequences, such as additional coding sequences within the same transcription unit, controlling elements such as promoters, ribosome binding sites, and polyadenylation sites, additional transcription units under control of the same or a different promoter, sequences that permit cloning, expression, and transformation of a host cell, and any such construct as may be desirable to provide embodiments of this invention.
- FGF 23 polypeptide is a molecule comprising an ordered sequence of amino acids specified by translation of a FGF 23 cDNA, such as is shown in SEQ. ID NO 2.
- the term is used to refer to the complete FGF 23 amino acid sequence of FGF 23 (SEQ. ID NO 2) as well as to alternatively spliced polypeptide molecules, and other portions of the complete molecule, such as protease cleavage products and synthetic peptides derived from the complete sequence. It also refers to orthologous FGF 23 polypeptides derived from various species including, but not limited to humans, simians, and rodents.
- a “gene product” refers to the amino acid (e.g., peptide or polypeptide) generated when a gene is transcribed and translated.

- the tag can be used to identify the corresponding transcript and gene from which it was transcribed.
- a tag can further comprise exogenous nucleotide sequences to facilitate the identification and utility of the tag.
- auxiliary sequences include, but are not limited to, restriction endonuclease cleavage sites and well known primer sequences for sequencing and cloning.
- a sequence is the complement or is complementary to another sequence if they are related by the base-pairing rules. For example, in DNA, a sequence A-G-T in one strand is complementary to T-C-A in the other strand. A given sequence defines the complementary sequence.
- module means to alter or modify a process or biological function associated with bone or mineral metabolism or any of the diseases described herein.
- peptide is used in its broadest sense to refer to a compound of two or more subunit amino acids, amino acid analogs, or peptidomimetics.
- the subunits may be linked by peptide bonds. In another embodiment, the subunit may be linked by other bonds, e.g. ester, ether, etc.
- amino acid refers to either natural and/or unnatural or synthetic amino acids, including glycine and both the D or L optical isomers, and amino acid analogs and peptidomimetics.
- a peptide of three or more amino acids is commonly called an oligopeptide if the peptide chain is short. If the peptide chain is long, the peptide is commonly called a polypeptide or a protein.
- cDNAs refers to complementary DNA, that is mRNA molecules present in a cell or organism made in to cDNA with an enzyme such as reverse transcriptase.
- a "cDNA library” is a collection of all of the mRNA molecules present in a cell or organism, all turned into cDNA molecules with the enzyme reverse transcriptase, then inserted into “vectors”.
- a "probe” when used in the context of polynucleotide manipulation refers to an oligonucleotide that is provided as a reagent to detect a target potentially present in a sample of interest by hybridizing with the target.
- a probe will comprise a label or a means by which a label can be attached, either before or subsequent to the hybridization reaction.
- Suitable labels include, but are not limited to radioisotopes, fluorochromes, chemiluminescent compounds, dyes, and proteins, including enzymes.
- a “primer” is a short polynucleotide, generally with a free 3' -OH group that binds to a target or "template” potentially present in a sample of interest by hybridizing with the target, and thereafter promoting polymerization of a polynucleotide complementary to the target.
- a “polymerase chain reaction” (“PCR”) is a reaction in which replicate copies are made of a target polynucleotide using a "pair of primers” or a “set of primers” consisting of an "upstream” and a “downstream” primer, and a catalyst of polymerization, such as a DNA polymerase, and typically a thermally-stable polymerase enzyme.
- PCR A PRACTICAL APPROACH
- All processes of producing replicate copies of a polynucleotide, such as PCR or gene cloning, are collectively referred to herein as "replication.”
- a primer can also be used as a probe in hybridization reactions, such as Southern or Northern blot analyses. Sambrook et al, supra.
- a “promoter” is a region on a DNA molecule to which an RNA polymerase binds and initiates transcription.
- the promoter is usually located at the operator end, adjacent but external to the operator.
- the nucleotide sequence of the promoter determines both the nature of the enzyme that attaches to it and the rate of RNA synthesis.
- genetically modified means containing and/or expressing a foreign gene or nucleic acid sequence which in turn, modifies the genotype or phenotype of the cell or its progeny.
- Form nucleic acid includes, but is not limited to promoters, enhancers and gene activators.
- a genetically modified cell includes a cell that contains a polynucleotide encoding FGF 23 polypeptide in its native environment but not expressed and expression has been turned on or the level of expression has been enhanced or lowered by the upstream insertion of a gene activator.
- expression refers to the process by which polynucleotides are transcribed into mRNA or by which transcription is enhanced.
- the RNA is translated into peptides, polypeptides, or proteins. If the polynucleotide is derived from genomic DNA, expression may include splicing of the mRNA, if an appropriate eukaryotic host is selected.
- Hybridization refers to a reaction in which one or more polynucleotides react to form a complex that is stabilized via hydrogen bonding between the bases of the nucleotide residues.
- the hydrogen bonding may occur by Watson-Crick base pairing, Hoogstein binding, or in any other sequence-specific manner.
- the complex may comprise two strands forming a duplex structure, three or more strands forming a multi-stranded complex, a single self-hybridizing strand, or any combination of these.
- a hybridization reaction may constitute a step in a more extensive process, such as the initiation of a PCR reaction, or the enzymatic cleavage of a polynucleotide by a ribozyme.
- Hybridization reactions can be performed using traditional hybridization techniques under different stringency.
- a low stringency hybridization reaction is carried out at about 40°C in 10 X SSC or a solution of equivalent ionic strength/temperature.
- a moderate stringency hybridization is typically performed at about 50°C in 6 X SSC, and a high stringency hybridization reaction is generally performed at about 60°C in 1 X SSC.
- TMAC hybridization technology can be used for hybridization reactions probed with pooled oligonucleotides such as the SAGE tags. The advantage of using TMAC hybridization is that the reaction condition is not dependent on the G+C content of the oligonucleotide, and the melting temperature is determined only by the length of the oligomers to be used.
- a double-stranded polynucleotide can be “complementary” or “homologous” to another polynucleotide, if hybridization can occur between one of the strands of the first polynucleotide and the second.
- “Complementarity” or “homology” is quantifiable in terms of the proportion of bases in opposing strands that are expected to form hydrogen bonding with each other, according to generally accepted base-pairing rules.
- a polynucleotide that is 100% complementary to a second polynucleotide are understood to be “complements" of each other.
- composition is intended to mean a combination of active agent and another compound or composition, inert (for example, a detectable agent or label or a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier) or active, such as an adjuvant.
- a “pharmaceutical composition” is intended to include the combination of an active agent with a carrier, inert or active, making the composition suitable for diagnostic or therapeutic use in vitro, in vivo or ex vivo.
- the term "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” encompasses any of the standard pharmaceutical carriers, such as a phosphate buffered saline solution, water, and emulsions, such as an oil/water or water/oil emulsion, and various types of wetting agents.
- the compositions also can include stabilizers and preservatives.
- stabilizers and adjuvants see Martin, REMINGTON'S PHARM. SCI., 15th Ed. (Mack Publ. Co., Easton (1975)).
- an “effective amount” is an amount sufficient to effect beneficial or desired results.
- An effective amount can be administered in one or more administrations, applications or dosages.
- a “subject,” “individual” or “patient” is used interchangeably herein, which refers to a vertebrate, preferably a mammal, more preferably a human. Mammals include, but are not limited to, murines, simians, humans, farm animals, sport animals, and pets.
- a “control” is an alternative subject or sample used in an experiment for comparison purpose.
- a control can be "positive” or “negative".
- the purpose of the experiment is to determine a correlation of an altered expression level of a gene with a particular type of cancer, it is generally preferable to use a positive control (a subject or a sample from a subject, carrying such alteration and exhibiting syndromes characteristic of that disease), and a negative control (a subject or a sample from a subject lacking the altered expression and clinical syndrome of that disease).
- a “gene delivery vehicle” is defined as any molecule that can carry inserted polynucleotides into a host cell.
- Examples of gene delivery vehicles are liposomes, cationic liposomes, viruses, such as baculovirus, adenovirus, adeno-associated virus, and retrovirus, bacteriophage, cosmid, plasmid, fungal vectors and other recombination vehicles typically used in the art which have been described for expression in a variety of eukaryotic and prokaryotic hosts, and may be used for gene therapy as well as for simple protein expression.

- retroviral mediated gene transfer or “retroviral transduction” carries the same meaning and refers to the process by which a gene or nucleic acid sequences are stably transferred into the host cell by virtue of the virus entering the cell and integrating its genome into the host cell genome.
- the virus can enter the host cell via its normal mechanism of infection or be modified such that it binds to a different host cell surface receptor or ligand to enter the cell.
- retroviral vector refers to a viral particle capable of introducing exogenous nucleic acid into a cell through a viral or viral-like entry mechanism.
- Retroviruses carry their genetic information in the form of RNA; however, once the virus infects a cell, the RNA is reverse-transcribed into the DNA form that integrates into the genomic DNA of the infected cell.
- the integrated DNA form is called a provirus.
- a vector construct refers to the polynucleotide comprising the viral genome or part thereof, and a polynucleotide to be inserted.
- Ads adenoviruses
- Ads are a relatively well characterized, homogenous group of viruses, including over 50 serotypes. (see, e.g., WO 95/27071). Ads are easy to grow and do not require integration into the host cell genome.
- Ad-derived vectors particularly those that reduce the potential for recombination and generation of wild-type virus, have also been constructed, (see, WO 95/00655; WO 95/11984). Wild-type AAV has high infectivity and specificity integrating into the host cells genome. (Hermonat and Muzyczka (1984) PNAS USA 81 :6466-6470; Lebkowski, et al. (1988) Mol. Cell. Biol. 8:3988-3996).
- Vectors that contain both a promoter and a cloning site into which a polynucleotide can be operatively linked are well known in the art. Such vectors are capable of transcribing RNA in vitro or in vivo, and are commercially available from sources such as Stratagene (La Jolla, CA) and Promega Biotech (Madison, WI). In order to optimize expression and/or in vitro transcription, it may be necessary to remove, add or alter 5' and/or 3' untranslated portions of the clones to eliminate extra, potential inappropriate alternative translation initiation codons or other sequences that may interfere with or reduce expression, either at the level of transcription or translation. Alternatively, consensus ribosome binding sites can be inserted immediately 5' of the start codon to enhance expression.
- Gene delivery vehicles also include several non- viral vectors, including DNA/liposome complexes, and targeted viral protein DNA complexes. Liposomes that also comprise a targeting antibody or fragment thereof can be used in the methods of this invention.
- the nucleic acid or proteins of this invention can be conjugated to antibodies or binding fragments thereof which bind cell surface antigens, e.g., TCR, CD3 or CD4.
- Polynucleotides are inserted into vector genomes using methods well known in the art.
- insert and vector DNA can be contacted, under suitable conditions, with a restriction enzyme to create complementary ends on each molecule that can pair with each other and be joined together with a ligase.
- synthetic nucleic acid linkers can be ligated to the termini of restricted polynucleotide. These synthetic linkers contain nucleic acid sequences that correspond to a particular restriction site in the vector DNA.
- an oligonucleotide containing a termination codon and an appropriate restriction site can be ligated for insertion into a vector containing, for example, some or all of the following: a selectable marker gene, such as the neomycin gene for selection of stable or transient transfectants in mammalian cells; enhancer/promoter sequences from the immediate early gene of human CMV for high levels of transcription; transcription termination and RNA processing signals from SV40 for mRNA stability; SV40 polyoma origins of replication and ColEl for proper episomal replication; versatile multiple cloning sites; stabilizing elements 3' to the inserted polynucleotide, and T7 and SP6 RNA promoters for in vitro transcription of sense and antisense RNA.

It also is intended to include progeny of a single cell, and the progeny may not necessarily be completely identical (in morphology or in genomic or total DNA complement) to the original parent cell due to natural, accidental, or deliberate mutation.
- the cells may be prokaryotic or eukaryotic, and include but are not limited to bacterial cells, yeast cells, plant cells, insect cells, animal cells, and mammalian cells, e.g., murine, rat, simian or human.
- an “antibody” is an immunoglobulin molecule capable of binding an antigen.
- the term encompasses not only intact immunoglobulin molecules, but also anti-idiotypic antibodies, mutants, fragments, fusion proteins, humanized proteins and modifications of the immunoglobulin molecule that comprise an antigen recognition site of the required specificity.
- expression refers to the process by which polynucleotides are transcribed into mRNA and translated into peptides, polypeptides, or proteins. If the polynucleotide is derived from genomic DNA, expression may include splicing of the mRNA, if an appropriate eukaryotic host is selected. Regulatory elements required for expression include promoter sequences to bind RNA polymerase and transcription initiation sequences for ribosome binding.
- a bacterial expression vector includes a promoter such as the lac promoter and for transcription initiation the Shine-Dalgarno sequence and the start codon AUG (Sambrook, et al. (1989) supra).

It is intended, although not always explicitly stated, that molecules having similar biological activity as wild-type or purified cytokines (e.g., recombinantly produced or muteins thereof) are intended to be used within the spirit and scope of the invention.
- culture refers to the in vitro propagation of cells or organisms on or in media of various kinds. It is understood that the descendants of a cell grown in culture may not be completely identical (i.e., morphologically, genetically, or phenotypically) to the parent cell. By “expanded” is meant any proliferation or division of cells.
- cancer refers to cells that have undergone a malignant transformation that makes them pathological to the host organism.
- Primary cancer cells that is, cells obtained from near the site of malignant transformation
- the definition of a cancer cell includes not only a primary cancer cell, but any cell derived from a cancer cell ancestor. This includes metastasized cancer cells, and in vitro cultures and cell lines derived from cancer cells.
- a "clinically detectable" tumor is one that is detectable on the basis of tumor mass; e.g., by such procedures as CAT scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), X-ray, ultrasound or palpation. Biochemical or immunologic findings alone may be insufficient to meet this definition.
- Tumor cells often express antigens which are tumor specific.
- the term "tumor associated antigen” or “TAA” refers to an antigen that is associated with or specific to a tumor.
- Solid phase support is not limited to a specific type of support. Rather a large number of supports are available and are known to one of ordinary skill in the art. Solid phase supports include silica gels, resins, derivatized plastic films, glass beads, cotton, plastic beads, alumina gels. A suitable solid phase support may be selected on the basis of desired end use and suitability for various synthetic protocols.
- solid phase support may refer to resins such as polystyrene (e.g., PAM-resin obtained from Bachem Inc., Peninsula Laboratories, etc.), POLYHIPE ® resin (obtained from Aminotech, Canada), polyamide resin (obtained from Peninsula Laboratories), polystyrene resin grafted with polyethylene glycol (TentaGel , Rapp Polymere, Tubingen, Germany) or polydimethylacrylamide resin (obtained from Milligen/Biosearch, California).
- solid phase support refers to polydimethylacrylamide resin.
- transgenic animal refers to a genetically engineered animal or offspring of genetically engineered animals.
- the transgenic animal may contain genetic material from at least one unrelated organism (such as from a bacteria, virus, plant, or other animal) or may contain a mutation which interferes with expression of a gene product.
- oncogenic osteomalacia refers to a tumor-acquired syndrome characterized mainly by hypophosphatemia, hyperphosphaturia, abnormally low serum level of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, and osteomalacia.
- Tumors associated with OOM are mainly of mesenchymal origin such as hemangiopericytomas, although carcinoma of prostate and lung, fibrous dysplasia of bone, linear sebaceous naevus syndrome, neurofibromatosis, and oat cell carcinoma are also associated with OOM.
- the OOM syndrome can be described as having a paraneoplastic etiology. Surgical removal of the tumor in a patient often results in a complete or near-complete resolution of biochemical and clinical defects associated with OOM.
- Oncogenic osteomalacia-related genes include genes that have been identified to be over-expressed or under-expressed relative to control tumors (histologically similar tumors that are not associated with OOM). Genes that are up-regulated or down-regulated in oncogenic osteomalacia may encode proteins involved in several distinct biochemical pathways. These include phosphate regulation, bone mineralization, and protein synthesis, processing and secretion.
- the regulation of phosphate metabolism plays a central role in mediating the symptoms of oncogenic osteomalacia.
- Genes whose expression is altered in OOM tumors can effect phosphate metabolism through a variety of mechanisms.
- the tumor may directly produce increased amounts of phosphatonin, a secreted humoral factor whose activity includes inhibition of phosphate re-absorption in the kidney.
- the OOM tumor cells could produce a factor or factors that alter the expression in the kidney of accessory polypeptides required for mediating the effects of phosphatonin such as the phosphatonin receptor and intracellular proteins responsible for eliciting the effects of phosphatonin.
- FGF 23 is a gene of the second type.
- OOM tumor cells can also alter phosphate metabolism by more complex mechanisms.
- tumor produced factors could up-regulate expression of genes normally controlled directly by phosphatonin or in response to phosphatonin.
- OOM tumor produced factors could increase expression of phosphate transport molecules and other cellular proteins necessary for regulating either phosphate uptake or secretion of phosphate.
- OOM tumor factors could alter expression of extracellular regulators or carriers of phosphate or phosphatonin.
- OOM-related genes that modulate phosphate metabolism are useful candidates for developing therapeutic agents for a variety of disease conditions related to abnormal phosphate metabolism.
- renal conditions such as renal osteodystrophy, changes in phosphate homeostasis after kidney transplant, end stage renal disease (ESRD), and acute renal disease, bone defects, hypophosphataemia, hyperphosphataemia, hypoparathyroidism, and pseudohypoparathyroidism.
- ESRD end stage renal disease
- Phosphate metabolism related factors could provide useful mediators of disease conditions through a variety of alternative mechanisms. For example, during ESRD, phosphatonin or other proteins in its pathway may inhibit absorption of phosphate in the small intestine. Such factors may also enhance phosphate uptake in the proximal tubules of the kidney. Modulation of the activity of these factors could therefore be used to control the symptoms of this disease.
- any protein that is involved in lowering serum phosphate levels or inhibiting its functions could be an effective therapy.
- This type of therapy could be useful for a range of conditions including hype arathyroidism, X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets, vitamin D dependent rickets, Franconi Syndrome, post kidney transplant condition, and oncogenic osteomalacia.
- Diseases characterized by increased phosphate levels or hyperphosphatemia could be affected by treatment directed towards any protein that acts in the phosphatonin pathway to lower serum phosphate levels.
- Diseases related to hyperphosphatemia include: hypoparathyroidism (levels of PTH secreted are insufficient to maintain extracellular calcium and phosphate levels-leads to hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia); pseudohypoparathyroidism (a group of disorders characterized by biochemical hypoparathyroidism, hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia, increased secretion of PTH and resistance to the biological actions of PTH); transcellular phosphate shift from cells into the extracellular fluid caused by systemic infections, severe hyperthermia, crush injuries, non-traumatic rhabdomyoloysis, and tumor lysis syndrome after cytotoxic therapies for hematologic malignancies; and renal disease.
- PTH parathyroid hormone
- 1,25- dihydroxyvitamin D calcitriol
- PTH stimulates the release of calcium and phosphate from bone.
- PTH stimulates the re-absorption of calcium and inhibits the reabsorption of phosphate.
- it stimulates the activity of 1 alpha- hydroxylase, thereby enhancing the synthesis of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D 3 .
- 1,25- dihydroxyvitamin D 3 in turn increases intestinal abso ⁇ tion of calcium and phosphate.
- serum calcium concentration increases and serum phosphate concentration decreases.
- 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D , calcium, and phosphate are important regulators of PTH secretion from the parathyroid gland. Decreasing amounts of 1,25- dihydroxyvitamin D 3 stimulate secretion of PTH. Low serum concentrations of calcium stimulate secretion of PTH, whereas increasing calcium serum concentrations repress PTH secretion. Decreased levels of serum phosphate repress PTH secretion from the parathyroid gland (E. Slatopolsky, et al; J Clin Invest 97:2534-2540). In chronic renal insufficiency, declining levels of calcitriol promote hype ⁇ arathyroidism and increased secretion of PTH.
- Hype ⁇ arathyroidism and hype ⁇ hosphatemia leads to enhanced vascular calcification, a key factor promoting increased morbidity and mortality in chronic renal insufficiency patients (Liach, F and FV Forero; 2001, American Journal of Kidney Disease 38:1-17).
- Therapeutic agents that control secretion of PTH and/or serum phosphate concentrations can be used to treat chronic renal insufficiency patients.
- factors whose expression is altered in OOM tumor cells can include genes whose polypeptide products act directly on osteogenic cells to mediate bone mineralization.
- Such proteins associated with OOM may either promote or inhibit diseases associated with defective mineralization.
- Possible functions of proteins in the bone mineralization pathway include: inhibition of bone mineralization, regulation of the early stages of bone mineralization, and control of bone cell differentiation and bone development.
- a variety of types of polypeptide factors may be found to modulate bone mineralization.
- extracellular matrix proteins are an important constituent of bone. In bone, cartilage and the tissues forming the teeth, unlike those in other connective tissues, the matrices have the unique ability to become calcified.
- OOM tumor produced ECM proteins could alter the natural process of bone mineral homeostasis by acting directly on bone cells.
- OOM tumor cells could produce diffusable soluble factors that regulate bone cell differentiation, growth and metabolism. Such factors also provide useful targets for development of therapeutic agents to regulate bone mineralization.
- osteoporosis a metabolic bone disease characterized by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue
- osteomalacia a defect in bone mineralization that occurs after the cessation of growth and involves only the bone and not the growth plate
- rickets a disorder of mineralization of the bone matrix, or osteoid, in growing bones; that involves both the growth plate (epiphysis) and newly formed traebacular and cortical bone

- Fanconi syndrome and renal tubular acidosis a generalized defect in renal proximal tubule transport capacity that includes impaired reabso ⁇ tion of glucose, phosphate, amino acids, bicarbonate, uric acid, citrate and other organic acids
- OOM tumor produced factors that are found to modulate fundamental processes involved in bone formation, mineralization and maintenance could provide useful targets to inhibit the progression of these diseases.
- pathological conditions of the bone include defects in bone remodeling such as Paget's disease, osteomyeloitis, osteosarcoma, stress fracture and low turnover bone disease.
- defects in bone remodeling such as Paget's disease, osteomyeloitis, osteosarcoma, stress fracture and low turnover bone disease.
- polypeptide factors identified from OOM tumor cells that directly modulate bone metabolism and bone cell development are useful targets for developing novel therapeutic agents to treat diseases characterized by alternative bone pathologies.

- Nucleotide probes having complementary sequences over stretches greater than 5 to 10 nucleotides in length are generally preferred, so as to increase stability and selectivity of the hybrid, and thereby improving the specificity of particular hybrid molecules obtained. More preferably, one can design polynucleotides having gene-complementary stretches of 10 or more or more than 50 nucleotides in length, or even longer where desired. Such fragments may be readily prepared by, for example, directly synthesizing the fragment by chemical means, by application of nucleic acid reproduction technology, such as the PCR technology with two priming oligonucleotides as described in U.S. Pat.

- the methods of the invention can also employ the isolated polynucleotide encoding the FGF 23 protein operatively linked to a promoter of RNA transcription, as well as other regulatory sequences for replication and/or transient or stable expression of the DNA or RNA.
- operatively linked means positioned in such a manner that the promoter will direct transcription of RNA off the DNA molecule.
- promoters are SP6, T4 and T7.
- cell-specific promoters are used for cell-specific expression of the inserted polynucleotide.
- Vectors which contain a promoter or a promoter/enhancer, with termination codons and selectable marker sequences, as well as a cloning site into which an inserted piece of DNA can be operatively linked to that promoter are well known in the art and commercially available. For general methodology and cloning strategies, see GENE EXPRESSION TECHNOLOGY (Goeddel ed., Academic Press, Inc.
- Expression vectors containing these nucleic acids are useful to obtain host vector systems to produce proteins and polypeptides. It is implied that these expression vectors must be replicable in the host organisms either as episomes or as an integral part of the chromosomal DNA. Suitable expression vectors include plasmids, A preferred length of the primer is the same as that identified for probes, above viral vectors, including adenoviruses, adeno-associated viruses, retroviruses, cosmids, etc. Adenoviral vectors are particularly useful for introducing genes into tissues in vivo because of their high levels of expression and efficient transformation of cells both in vitro and in vivo.
- a suitable host cell e.g., a prokaryotic or a eukaryotic cell and the host cell replicates
- the protein can be recombinantly produced.
- suitable host cells will depend on the vector and can include mammalian cells, animal cells, human cells, simian cells, insect cells, yeast cells, and bacterial cells constructed using well known methods. See Sambrook, et al. (1989) supra.
- the nucleic acid can be inserted into the host cell by methods well known in the art such as transformation for bacterial cells; transfection using calcium phosphate precipitation for mammalian cells; or DEAE-dextran; electroporation; or microinjection. See Sambrook, et al. (1989) supra for this methodology.

- a pharmaceutically acceptable vector such as a replication-incompetent retroviral or adenoviral vector.
- Pharmaceutically acceptable vectors containing the nucleic acids of this invention can be further modified for transient or stable expression of the inserted polynucleotide.
- the term "pharmaceutically acceptable vector” includes, but is not limited to, a vector or delivery vehicle having the ability to selectively target and introduce the nucleic acid into dividing cells.
- An example of such a vector is a "replication-incompetent" vector defined by its inability to produce viral proteins, precluding spread of the vector in the infected host cell.
- LNL6 An example of a replication-incompetent retroviral vector is LNL6 (Miller, A.D. et al. (1989) BioTechniques 7:980-990).
- the methodology of using replication- incompetent retroviruses for retroviral-mediated gene transfer of gene markers is well established (Correll, et al.

- a monoclonal antibody being tested binds with the protein or polypeptide, then the antibody being tested and the antibodies provided by the hybridomas of this invention are equivalent. It also is possible to determine without undue experimentation, whether an antibody has the same specificity as the monoclonal antibody of this invention by determining whether the antibody being tested prevents a monoclonal antibody of this invention from binding the protein or polypeptide with which the monoclonal antibody is normally reactive. If the antibody being tested competes with the monoclonal antibody of the invention as shown by a decrease in binding by the monoclonal antibody of this invention, then it is likely that the two antibodies bind to the same or a closely related epitope.
- antibody also is intended to include antibodies of all isotypes. Particular isotypes of a monoclonal antibody can be prepared either directly by selecting from the initial fusion, or prepared secondarily, from a parental hybridoma secreting a monoclonal antibody of different isotype by using the sib selection technique to isolate class switch variants using the procedure described in Steplewski et al.

- the antibodies utilized in practicing this invention also can be modified to create chimeric antibodies and humanized antibodies (Oi, et al. (1986) BioTechniques 4(3):214). Chimeric antibodies are those in which the various domains of the antibodies' heavy and light chains are coded for by DNA from more than one species.
- the isolation of other hybridomas secreting monoclonal antibodies with the specificity of the monoclonal antibodies of the invention can also be accomplished by one of ordinary skill in the art by producing anti-idiotypic antibodies (Herlyn, et al. (1986) Science 232:100).
- An anti-idiotypic antibody is an antibody which recognizes unique determinants present on the monoclonal antibody produced by the hybridoma of interest. Idiotypic identity between monoclonal antibodies of two hybridomas demonstrates that the two monoclonal antibodies are the same with respect to their recognition of the same epitopic determinant. Thus, by using antibodies to the epitopic determinants on a monoclonal antibody it is possible to identify other hybridomas expressing monoclonal antibodies of the same epitopic specificity.
- an anti-idiotypic monoclonal antibody made to a first monoclonal antibody will have a binding domain in the hypervariable region which is the mirror image of the epitope bound by the first monoclonal antibody.
- the anti-idiotypic monoclonal antibody could be used for immunization for production of these antibodies.
- epitopic determinants are meant to include any determinant having specific affinity for the monoclonal antibodies of the invention.
- Epitopic determinants usually consist of chemically active surface groupings of molecules such as amino acids or sugar side chains and usually have specific three dimensional structural characteristics, as well as specific charge characteristics.
- the antibodies utilized in this invention can be linked to a detectable agent or label.
- a detectable agent or label There are many different labels and methods of labeling known to those of ordinary skill in the art.
- the antibody-label complex is useful to detect the protein or fragments in a sample, using standard immunochemical techniques such as immunohistochemistry as described by Harlow and Lane (1988) supra.
- Competitive and non-competitive immunoassays in either a direct or indirect format are examples of such assays, e.g., enzyme linked immunoassay (ELISA) radioimmunoassay (RIA) and the sandwich (immunometric) assay.

- Monoclonal antibodies also can be bound to many different carriers.
- this invention also envisions employing compositions containing the antibodies and another substance, active or inert.
- examples of well-known carriers include glass, polystyrene, polypropylene, polyethylene, dextran, nylon, amylases, natural and modified celluloses, polyacrylamides, agaroses and magnetite.
- the nature of the carrier can be either soluble or insoluble for pu ⁇ oses of the invention.
- suitable carriers for binding monoclonal antibodies or will be able to ascertain such, using routine experimentation.
- compositions containing the antibodies, fragments thereof or cell lines which produce the antibodies are encompassed by this invention.

These include, but are not limited to, hemangiopericytomas and other tumors of mesenchymal origin, carcinoma of prostate and lung, fibrous dysplasia of bone, linear sebaceous naevus syndrome, neurofibromatosis, and oat cell carcinoma.
- Tumor cells are typically obtained from a cancer patient by resection, biopsy, or endoscopic sampling; the cells may be used directly, stored frozen, or maintained or expanded in culture. Samples of both the tumor and the patient's blood or blood fraction should be thoroughly tested to ensure sterility before co-culturing of the cells. Standard sterility tests are known to those of skill in the art and are not described in detail herein.
- the tumor cells can be cultured in vitro to generate a cell line.
- tumor cells can be dispersed from, for example, a biopsy sample, by standard mechanical means before use.
- One aspect of the invention involves the comparison of transcript expression pattern between a sample cell and a control cell.
- the selection of the control cell is determined by the sample cell initially selected and the phenotype of interest.
- the control cell can be any of a counte ⁇ art normal cell type, a counte ⁇ art benign cell type, a counte ⁇ art non-neoplastic cell type and a non-neoplastic precursor of the neoplastic cell.
- the sample cell can be a hemangiopericytoma cell isolated from a patient with oncogenic osteomalacia;
- the counte ⁇ art control cell can be a hemangiopericytoma cell isolated from a patient who does not have oncogenic osteomalacia.
- tumor cells can be dispersed from, for example, a biopsy sample, by standard mechanical means before use.
- One aspect of the invention involves the comparison of transcript expression pattern between a sample cell and a control cell.

- the isolated FGF 23 gene can be used to search for and identify single nucleotide polymo ⁇ hisms (SNP's), which are mutant variants of the gene in the human population. Identification of such polymo ⁇ hisms is useful to define human diseases to which mutations in the FGF 23 gene contribute and to perfect therapies for disease processes in which the protein encoded by the FGF 23 gene participates. Mutant variants of the gene identified in this manner can then be employed in the development, screening, and analysis of pharmaceutical agents to treat these diseases. Methods to detect such SNP's can be formatted to create diagnostic tests.
- SNP's single nucleotide polymo ⁇ hisms
- SNP's identified in the FGF 23 gene can provide useful sequence markers for genetic tests to analyze other genes and mutations in the region of the genome where the FGF 23 gene is located. Thus it is useful to inco ⁇ orate these SNP's into polymo ⁇ hism databases.
- a full length cDNAs encoding the FGF23 protein is inserted into an expression vector and the protein is expressed in mammalian culture cells using standard cloning strategies. Stable cell lines that can be rapidly scaled for production ae also established. In vitro expressed FGF23 is then produced as a secreted molecule in conditioned culture medium and prepared for functional assays measuring phosphate re-abso ⁇ tion.
- Similar conditioned media are also prepared from mammalian cells that are transfected with a control vector that does not contain any recombinant gene.
- the phosphate transport modulating activity of FGF23 protein is analyzed using methods and techniques known in the art. Specifically, sodium-dependent phosphate uptake is measured in opossum kidney (OK) cells according to the methods described in Cai et al. (1994) New Engl. J. Med. 330: 1645-1649. Briefly, OK cells are cultured until becoming confluent, harvested and then re-seeded at a density of 1 X 10 5 cells per 24 well dish. The cells are then re-grown for several days past the time they become confluent and then re-fed with medium containing FGF23 protein as well as control conditioned medium from cells that are transfected with an the expression vector with no cloned insert.
