Klotho and activin A in kidney injury: plasma Klotho is maintained in unilateral obstruction despite no upregulation of Klotho biosynthesis in the contralateral kidney [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Physiology-Renal Physiology, 2018
In a new paradigm of etiology related to chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD), kidney injury may cause induction of factors in the injured kidney that are released into the circulation and thereby initiate and maintain renal fibrosis and CKD-MBD.

Identification of the cleavage sites leading to the shed forms of human and mouse anti-aging and cognition-enhancing protein Klotho.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Klotho is an age-extending, cognition-enhancing protein found to be down-regulated in aged mammals when age-related diseases start to appear. Low levels of Klotho occur in neurodegenerative diseases, kidney disease and many cancers.

Association between serum cotinine and α-Klotho levels among adults: Findings from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2007–2016

open access: yesTobacco Induced Diseases, 2022
Introduction Serum cotinine is a sensitive and specific marker of tobacco smoke exposure. α-Klotho is an anti-ageing molecule, which plays an important role in several diseases.

Centrally circulating α-klotho inversely correlates with human obesity and modulates arcuate cell populations in mice

open access: yesMolecular Metabolism, 2021
Objective: Our laboratory recently identified the centrally circulating α-klotho protein as a novel hypothalamic regulator of food intake and glucose metabolism in mice. The current study aimed to investigate novel molecular effectors of central α-klotho

Klotho Null Mutation Indirectly Leads to Age-Related Lacrimal Gland Degeneration in Mutant Mice

open access: yesBiology, 2023
The Klotho null mutation is known to lead to accelerated aging in many organs, but its effects on tear secretion and lacrimal gland (LG) senescence have not been addressed.

Klotho retards renal fibrosis through targeting mitochondrial dysfunction and cellular senescence in renal tubular cells

open access: yesPhysiological Reports, 2021
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has a high prevalence worldwide and is an intricate issue to whole medical society. Renal fibrosis is the common pathological feature for various kinds of CKD.

The role of klotho in systemic sclerosis

open access: yesReumatismo, 2017
The aim was to evaluate the role of klotho in the pathogenesis of systemic sclerosis (SSc), through the measurement of its serum concentration in SSc patients compared to healthy controls, and to assess the association with cutaneous and visceral involvement.

Klotho protein in neurodegenerative disorders [PDF]

open access: yesNeurological Sciences, 2018
The Klotho protein is a recently discovered protein and its overexpression is associated with life extension. Klotho deficiency or silencing of the Klotho gene in mice leads to an accelerated aging and short life, whereas overexpression of Klotho in mice extends lifespan.

Research progress on the role of inflammatory mediators in the pathogenesis of epilepsy

open access: yesIbrain, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 44-58, Spring 2025.
In the central nervous system, activated immune cells lead to the overproduction of inflammatory mediators through the corresponding signal pathway. Under the stimulation of inflammatory factors, neuroinflammation ultimately occurs. Overexpression of inflammatory mediators and activated immunocytes plays an important role in the emergence and ...

Novel functions of circulating Klotho [PDF]

open access: yesBone, 2017
A significant portion of the key biological functions of αKlotho (αKL) and its cognate ligand Fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) have been revealed through the study of rare diseases of mineral metabolism. These findings have far reaching implications for common disorders such as chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD).
