Klotho and Renal Fibrosis
Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education: Klotho is a newly discovered protein with pleotropic effects and have affected different fields of renal medicine from translational research to clinical nephrology. Here we want to summarize some new scopes in the field of renal fibrosis and Klotho with this hope that in future it could be implemented as a new therapeutic strat...
متن کاملKlotho protects against mouse renal fibrosis by inhibiting Wnt signaling.
Augmented Wnt signaling has been implicated in many fibrotic diseases including obstructive nephropathy. Soluble form Klotho has been reported to function as a secreted Wnt antagonist. In this study, we tested whether Klotho protein could reduce renal fibrosis by inhibition of Wnt signaling. Transgenic mice that overexpressed Klotho, wild-type mice, and Klotho hetero mutant mice underwent unila...
متن کاملReduced Klotho expression level in kidney aggravates renal interstitial fibrosis.
Renal expression of the klotho gene is markedly suppressed in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Since renal fibrosis is the final common pathology of CKD, we tested whether decreased Klotho expression is a cause and/or a result of renal fibrosis in mice and cultured renal cell lines. We induced renal fibrosis by unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) in mice with reduced Klotho expression (kl/+ mice...
متن کاملSoluble klotho as a marker of renal fibrosis and podocyte injuries in human kidneys
Klotho deficiency is relevant to renal fibrosis and podocyte injury in vivo and in vitro. We examined whether histological findings of renal biopsy specimens were associated with the levels of soluble klotho in humans. We investigated renal biopsy specimens of 67 patients and detailed microscopic findings were reviewed. Soluble serum/urinary klotho and urinary angiotensinogen were assessed by e...
متن کاملKlotho prevents renal calcium loss.
Disturbed calcium (Ca(2+)) homeostasis, which is implicit to the aging phenotype of klotho-deficient mice, has been attributed to altered vitamin D metabolism, but alternative possibilities exist. We hypothesized that failed tubular Ca(2+) absorption is primary, which causes increased urinary Ca(2+) excretion, leading to elevated 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) [1,25(OH)(2)D(3)] and its sequelae. He...
متن کاملRhein reversal of DNA hypermethylation-associated Klotho suppression ameliorates renal fibrosis in mice
Renal fibrosis is the hallmark of chronic kidney diseases (CKD) and its development and progression are significantly affected by epigenetic modifications. Rhein, a plant-derived anthraquinone, displays strong anti-fibrosis properties, but its protective mode of action remains incompletely understood. Here we explore the mechanism of Rhein anti-renal fibrosis by investigating its regulation of ...
