Inflammation-Induced Klotho Deficiency: A Possible Key Driver of Chronic Kidney Disease Progression by Liang Y, Zhang Q, Qian JR, Li SS, Liu QF

“…However, the mechanism regarding their relationship is still unclear. The reduction in Klotho due to inflammation may be attributed to epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation, histone deacetylation, transcription factor, microRNA (miRNA) regulation and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) regulation or non-epigenetic factors, such as endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and ER-associated degradation (ERAD), which affect Klotho protein metabolism. …”
