Pathobiology of the Klotho Antiaging Protein and Therapeutic Considerations

open access: yesFrontiers in Aging, 2022
The α-Klotho protein (henceforth denoted Klotho) has antiaging properties, as first observed in mice homozygous for a hypomorphic Klotho gene (kl/kl). These mice have a shortened lifespan, stunted growth, renal disease, hyperphosphatemia, hypercalcemia ...

A Klotho-derived peptide protects against kidney fibrosis by targeting TGF-β signaling

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Loss of Klotho, an anti-aging protein, plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of chronic kidney diseases. As Klotho is a large transmembrane protein, it is challenging to harness it as a therapeutic remedy.

Anti-Inflammatory Role of the Klotho Protein and Relevance to Aging

open access: yesCells
The α-Klotho protein (hereafter Klotho) is an obligate coreceptor for fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23). It is produced in the kidneys, brain and other sites. Klotho insufficiency causes hyperphosphatemia and other anomalies.

Klotho prevents transforming growth factor-β2-induced senescent-like morphological changes in the retinal pigment epithelium

open access: yesCell Death and Disease, 2023
Degenerative changes of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) triggered by transforming growth factor-β2 (TGF-β2) and oxidative stress play a critical role in the progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Current understanding of klotho [PDF]

open access: yesAgeing Research Reviews, 2009
Klotho is a new anti-aging gene. Genetic mutation of klotho causes multiple premature aging-like phenotypes and strikingly shortens lifespan. Overexpression of the klotho gene in mice suppresses aging and extends lifespan which may involve the mechanism of suppression of insulin signaling and oxidant stress.

The relationship between serum klotho and cognitive performance in a nationally representative sample of US adults

open access: yesFrontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2023
PurposeAging is the primary risk factor for cognitive decline. Serum klotho, as an anti-aging protein, may be involved in cognitive decline. Thus, we aim to explorer the correlation between serum klotho and cognitive performance among an older adult ...

The association between serum soluble α-Klotho and thyroid profile among adults from NHANES 2007–2012 [PDF]

open access: goldBMC Endocrine Disorders
Background Thyroid hormone is the key endocrine regulator of growth, development, metabolism, and other bodily functions. α-Klotho has been involved in the aging process and acts as an endocrine factor involved in the regulation of various metabolic ...

Reduced Plasma Levels of α-Klotho and Their Correlation With Klotho Polymorphisms in Elderly Patients With Major Depressive Disorders

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychiatry, 2021
Background: Recent literature suggests that α-Klotho, a widely recognized anti-aging protein, is involved in longevity as well as in many diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, and depression.

Klotho, Oxidative Stress, and Mitochondrial Damage in Kidney Disease

open access: yesAntioxidants, 2023
Reducing oxidative stress stands at the center of a prevention and control strategy for mitigating cellular senescence and aging. Kidney disease is characterized by a premature aging syndrome, and to find a modulator targeting against oxidative stress ...
