Intake of a low-phosphate diet stimulates transepithelial transport of P_i in small intestine as well as in renal proximal tubules. In both organs, this is paralleled by a change in the abundance of the apically localized NaP_i cotransporters NaP_i type IIa (NaP_i-IIa) and NaP_i type IIb (NaP_i-IIb), respectively. Low-P_i diet, via stimulation of the activity of the renal 25-hydroxyvitamin-D₃-1-hydroxylase (1OHase), leads to an increase in the level of 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D₃ [1,25(OH)₂D]. Regulation of the intestinal absorption of P_i and the abundance of NaP_i-IIb by 1,25(OH)₂D has been supposed to involve the vitamin D receptor (VDR). In this study, we investigated the adaptation to a low-P_i diet of NaP_i-IIb in small intestine as well as NaP_i-IIa in kidneys of either VDR- or 1OHase-deficient mice. In both mouse models, upregulation by a low-P_i diet of the NaP_i cotransporters NaP_i-IIa and NaP_i-IIb was normal, i.e., similar to that observed in the wild types. Also, in small intestines of VDR- and 1OHase-deficient mice, the same changes in NaP_i-IIb mRNA found in wild-type mice were observed. On the basis of the results, we conclude that the regulation of NaP_i cotransport in small intestine (via NaP_i-IIb) and kidney (via NaP_i-IIa) by low dietary intake of P_i cannot be explained by the 1,25(OH)₂D-VDR axis.
