Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 3 Phosphatropic hormones after 5 days of low- or high- phosphate (Pi) diet. Levels of A serum parathyroid hor- mone (PTH), B plasma intact fibroblast growth factor 23 (iFGF23), C plasma C-terminal FGF23 (cFGF23), D the ratio of iFGF23 (ng/l)/cFGF23 (ng/l) as well as serum E calcidiol, and F calcitriol, and G plasma soluble Klotho, and H Fetuin-A on the final day of both the 5-day low and high Pi diet. One reference unit (RU)/ml corre- sponds to 2 ng/l cFGF23. Blue dots represent differences (Δ) between high Pi diet and low Pi diet expressed as mean differ- ence ± 95% confidence interval and blue dashed line represents the zero line of the right y-axis. Data was analyzed by the paired t-test (A–E) or Wilcoxon test (F–H), n = 10, *p < 0.05

Article Snippet: Daily fractional excretion of Pi (FEPi) was calculated by the following equation using the absolute 24-h urine Pi and creatinine: Daily renal filtered Pi load was calculated with the following equation: Plasma iFGF23, cFGF23, Fetuin-A, and urinary metanephrine were measured with the human iFGF23 and cFGF23 enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) (iFGF23 and cFGF23, Quidel, 60–6600 and 60–6100, respectively), Fetuin-A ELISA (R&D Systems, DFTA00, Lot P413286), and the Metanephrine Urine ELISA (Demeditec Diagnostics GmbH, DEE8400) according to manufacturers’ protocols.

Article Title: Post-translational modifications glycosylation and phosphorylation of the major hepatic plasma protein fetuin-A are associated with severity of CNS inflammation in children

doi: 10.1101/2022.05.04.22274686

Figure Lengend Snippet: shows the results of the concentration measurements of fetuin-A in CSF and serum. The correlation of fetuin-A in serum (y-axis, mg/ml) with an elevated C-reactive protein concentration (x-axis, (A)) and the presence of neuroinflammatory disease (x-axis, (B)) is shown. The relation between fetuin-A in CSF (y-axis, µg/ml) and a disruption of the blood-brain barrier (x-axis) is displayed in (C). (D) and (E) show the connection of the serum fetuin-A / total serum protein ratio (y-axis) with an intrathecal IgG synthesis (x-axis, (D)) and the disruption of the blood-brain barrier (x-axis, (E)). In (F), the link between the CSF fetuin-A / total CSF protein ratio (y-axis) and age (x-axis, years) is shown as a scatter plot. (G) and (H) show the correlation between the CSF fetuin-A / serum fetuin-A ratio QFet (y-axis, x10-3) and the CSF albumin / serum albumin ratio QAlb (x-axis, x10-3, (H)) and the presence of a blood-brain barrier disruption (x-axis, (G)). (G) represents a scatter blot double logarithmically. (H) shows a boxplot.

Article Snippet: For ELISA studies of fetuin-A concentrations we used the Human Fetuin-A/AHSG DuoSet ELISA (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, USA) as well as 96 well plates and solutions from the DuoSet Ancillary Reagent Kit (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, USA) according to the manufacturers’ recommendations.

doi: 10.1101/2022.05.04.22274686

Figure Lengend Snippet: illustrates the results of the glycosylation studies of fetuin-A. (A) and (B) show the glycosylation patterns of fetuin-A with (A) and without (B) double bands. On each membrane, lane 1 shows undigested fetuin-A, lane 2 shows fetuin-A after PNGase-F digestion and lane 3 shows fetuin-A after sialidase-Au digestion. (C) compares the occurrence of double bands in the control group and inflammatory group as a bar chart. (D) displays the kinetic of PNGase-F digestion in serum and CSF. Lane 1 shows undigested fetuin-A, lane 2 shows the pattern after 1 minute of digestion, lane 3 displays the pattern after 10 minutes of digestion and lane 4 shows fetuin-A after 3 hours of PNGase-F digestion.

Figure Lengend Snippet: displays the results of the statistical analysis of the phosphorylation studies. (A) and (B) show relative CSF phospho fetuin-A concentrations (y-axis, %) in comparison to the CSF albumin / serum albumin ratio (A, x-axis, x10-3) and in the presence of neuroinflammatory diseases (B). (C) and (D) show absolute phospho fetuin-A levels in CSF (y-axis, µg/ml) in comparison to the CSF albumin / serum albumin ratio ((C), x-axis, ×10 −3 ) and a blood-brain barrier disruption ((D), x-axis). (E) and (D) display the results of the linear regression with the relative CSF phospho fetuin-A / relative serum phospho fetuin-A ratio. This ratio is shown on the y-axis. (E) shows a scatter plot with the CSF albumin / serum albumin ratio (x-axis, ×10 −3 ). (F) shows the correlation of the CSF phospho fetuin-A / serum phospho fetuin-A ratio with the presence of a neuroinflammatory disorder (x-axis).
