Wang Y, Hu B, Yang S. Association between serum Klotho levels and hypothyroidism in older adults: NHANES 2007-2012. Sci Rep 2024; 14:11477. [PMID: 38769411 PMCID: PMC11106061 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-62297-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2023] [Accepted: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 05/22/2024] Open
Abstract
Whether Klotho plays any role in hypothyroidism is unknown. This study aimed to determine the relationship between serum Klotho levels and hypothyroidism in older adults. From the 2007 to 2012 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), 1444 older adults aged 65-79 were included in this cross-sectional study. Hypothyroidism was diagnosed using participants' reports of current medications and TSH tests. Klotho was measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The relationship between serum Klotho levels and hypothyroidism in older people was analyzed by one-way analysis of variance, multiple linear regression models, subgroup analyses, interaction tests, smoothed curve fitting, and threshold effects. A total of 209 (14.47%) participants were identified as having hypothyroidism. Serum Klotho (ln transformation) is independently and significantly negatively associated with the risk of hypothyroidism after complete adjustment for confounders (OR = 0.49, 95% CI 0.31-0.80; P = 0.0039). The results remained stable based on subgroup analyses and interaction tests. However, we observed an inverted U-shaped curve between the two using a smoothed curve fitting in the subgroups of 70 < age ≤ 75 years and females, with inflection points of 6.26 and 6.17, respectively. The results of our study indicate that serum Klotho levels negatively correlate with hypothyroidism among older adults.

Yu LX, Sha MY, Chen Y, Tan F, Liu X, Li S, Liu QF. Potential application of Klotho as a prognostic biomarker for patients with diabetic kidney disease: a meta-analysis of clinical studies. Ther Adv Chronic Dis 2023; 14:20406223231213246. [PMID: 38058396 PMCID: PMC10697044 DOI: 10.1177/20406223231213246] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2023] [Accepted: 10/10/2023] [Indexed: 12/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a serious diabetic complication and the performance of serum Klotho in DKD's prognostic evaluation is controversial. Objective To assess the association of serum Klotho with adverse kidney and non-kidney clinical outcomes in patients with DKD. Design Clinical studies regarding the relationship of serum Klotho with DKD were included. Study quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. Subgroup and sensitive analyses were performed to search for the source of heterogeneity. Data sources and methods We comprehensively searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane library databases up to 27 September 2022. The associations of Klotho with albuminuria, such as the urinary albumin creatinine ratio (UACR), kidney outcomes such as persistent albuminuria, estimated glomerular filtration rate decline, and non-kidney outcomes such as diabetic retinopathy, cardiovascular morbidity, and mortality, were evaluated. The indicators, such as the correlation coefficient (r), odds ratio (OR), relative risk, and hazard ratio, were retrieved or calculated from the eligible studies. Results In all, 17 studies involving 5682 participants fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were included in this meta-analysis. There was no significant association of serum Klotho with UACR in DKD patients [summary r, -0.28 (-0.55, 0.04)] with high heterogeneity. By contrast, a strong association was observed regarding serum Klotho with kidney outcomes [pooled OR, 1.60 (1.15, 2.23)], non-kidney outcomes [pooled OR, 2.78 (2.11, 3.66)], or combined kidney and non-kidney outcomes [pooled OR, 1.96 (1.45, 2.65)] with moderate heterogeneity. Subgroup analysis indicated that age, study design, and the estimated glomerular filtration rate may be the sources of heterogeneity. Conclusion A decreased serum Klotho level is possibly associated with an increased risk of developing kidney and non-kidney clinical outcomes in DKD patients; thus, Klotho may be a possible biomarker to predict DKD clinical outcomes. Additional studies are needed to clarify and validate Klotho's prognostic value.

Serum Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 and FGF23 Gene Variants in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes and Essential Hypertension. Association with Chronic Kidney Disease. Arch Med Res 2023; 54:239-246. [PMID: 36907780 DOI: 10.1016/j.arcmed.2023.02.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2022] [Revised: 01/19/2023] [Accepted: 02/28/2023] [Indexed: 03/12/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) gene variants could influence the production of FGF23 in subjects at risk for chronic kidney disease (CKD). Our purpose was to analyze the association of serum levels of FGF23 and two FGF23 gene variants with metabolic and renal function parameters in Mexican patients with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) and/or essential hypertension (HTN). MATERIALS/METHODS The study included 632 individuals diagnosed with T2D and/or HTN, of which 269 (43%) were diagnosed with CKD. FGF23 serum levels were determined and FGF23 gene variants rs11063112 and rs7955866 were genotyped. Genetic association analysis included binary and multivariate logistic regressions adjusted for age and sex. RESULTS Patients with CKD were older, had higher systolic blood pressure, uric acid, and glucose levels than those without CKD. Also, patients with CKD had higher FGF23 levels (106 vs. 73 pg/mL p = 0.003). No correlation of any gene variants with FGF23 levels was found, but minor allele for rs11063112 and haplotype rs11063112A-rs7955866A were associated with low probability of CKD (Odds Ratio [OR] = 0.62 and 0.58, respectively). Conversely, the haplotype rs11063112T-rs7955866A was associated with increased FGF23 levels and risk for CKD (OR = 6.90). CONCLUSIONS In addition to the traditional risk factors, levels of FGF23 are higher in Mexican patients with diabetes and/or essential hypertension and CKD, compared to those without renal damage. In contrast, the two minor alleles of two variants of the FGF23 gene, rs11063112 and rs7955866, as well as the haplotype carrying these two alleles, were found to be protective against renal disease in this Mexican patients' sample.

Abstract
Despite emerging evidence suggesting that autophagy occurs during renal interstitial fibrosis, the role of autophagy activation in fibrosis and the mechanism by which autophagy influences fibrosis remain controversial. Transcription factor EB (TFEB) is a master regulator of autophagy-related gene transcription, lysosomal biogenesis, and autophagosome formation. In this study, we examined the preventive effects of TFEB suppression on renal fibrosis. We injected synthesized TFEB decoy oligonucleotides (ODNs) into the tail veins of unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) mice to explore the regulation of autophagy in UUO-induced renal fibrosis. The expression of interleukin (IL)-1β, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and collagen was decreased by TFEB decoy ODN. Additionally, TEFB ODN administration inhibited the expression of microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 (LC3), Beclin1, and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α). We confirmed that TFEB decoy ODN inhibited fibrosis and autophagy in a UUO mouse model. The TFEB decoy ODNs also showed anti-inflammatory effects. Collectively, these results suggest that TFEB may be involved in the regulation of autophagy and fibrosis and that regulating TFEB activity may be a promising therapeutic strategy against kidney diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a chronic microvascular complication caused by long-term hyperglycemia in patients with diabetes and an important cause of end-stage renal disease. Although some studies have shown that soluble Klotho(sKlotho) levels of patients with DN are lower than those without DN, in the early stage of patients with DN with normal renal function and albuminuria, the change in sKlotho is still controversial. AIM This meta-analysis was conducted to statistically evaluate sKlotho levels in patients with DN. METHODS We searched the following electronic databases: Web of Science, Embase, PubMed, Google Scholar, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI). The following search terms were used for the title or abstract: "diabetic kidney disease", "diabetic nephropathy", OR "DN" in combination with "Klotho". The meta-analysis results were presented as standardized mean differences (SMDs) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS Fourteen articles were included in the meta-analysis. In our meta-analysis, we found that the sKlotho level in patients with DN was significantly lower than that in patients without DN (SMD: -1.52, 95% CI [-2.24, -0.80]), and it was also significantly lower in the early stage of DN (SMD: -1.65, 95% CI [-2.60, -0.70]). CONCLUSIONS This systematic review was the first to evaluate the relationship between sKlotho levels and DN. The sKlotho level was significantly lower in the early stages of DN, indicating that sKlotho might be a new biomarker of DN in the future.

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a common microvascular complication in the late stages of diabetes. Currently, the etiology and pathogenesis of DN are not well understood. Even so, available evidence shows its development is associated with metabolism, oxidative stress, cytokine interaction, genetic factors, and renal microvascular disease. Diabetic nephropathy can lead to proteinuria, edema and hypertension, among other complications. In severe cases, it can cause life-threatening complications such as renal failure. Patients with type 1 diabetes, hypertension, high protein intake, and smokers have a higher risk of developing DN. Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) regulates several human processes essential for normal development. Even though FGF has been implicated in the pathological development of DN, the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. This review summarizes the role of FGF in the development of DN. Moreover, the association of FGF with metabolism, inflammation, oxidative stress and fibrosis in the context of DN is discussed. Findings of this review are expected to deepen our understanding of DN and generate ideas for developing effective prevention and treatments for the disease.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Serum levels of FGF23 have been associated with adverse outcomes in cardiovascular diseases in patients with and without impaired renal function. Hence, this study aimed to explore the prognostic relevance of intact FGF23 (iFGF23) and its derivate C-terminal FGF23 (cFGF23) in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with regard to renal function. METHODS A total of 274 patients undergoing transfemoral TAVR were enrolled in this study. Blood samples were obtained preinterventionally and analyzed for iFGF23 and cFGF23 by means of enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Follow-up was obtained for 12 months. RESULTS Serum levels of cFGF23 and iFGF23 both correlated positively with serum creatinine and inversely with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Cox regression analysis revealed a significant association of cFGF23 with 1-year-mortality in patients with eGFR ≥45ml/min/1.73m², but not in patients with an eGFR <45ml/min/1.73m². A cut-off was calculated for cFGF23 (6.82 pmol/l) and patients with eGFR ≥45ml/min/1.73m² were retrospectively divided into two groups (above/below cut-off). Patients above the cut-off had a significantly worse 1-year-mortality than patients below the cut-off (33.3% vs. 19.6%; OR 2.05 (95%CI 1.03-4.07), p= 0.038). The association of cFGF23 with 1-year-mortality in patients with eGFR ≥45ml/min/1.73m² remained statistically significant even after correction for possible confounders in a multivariate Cox regression analysis. CONCLUSION cFGF23 could be an individual risk factor for mortality in patients undergoing TAVR with an eGFR ≥45ml/min/1.73m².

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To identify biomarkers of renal disease in adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and to compare findings in adults with T1D. METHODS Twenty-five serum biomarkers were measured, using a Luminex platform, in 553 adolescents (median [interquartile range] age: 13.9 [12.6, 15.2] years), recruited to the Adolescent Type 1 Diabetes Cardio-Renal Intervention Trial. Associations with baseline and final estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), rapid decliner and rapid increaser phenotypes (eGFR slopes <-3 and > 3 mL/min/1.73m2 /year, respectively), and albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR) were assessed. Results were also compared with those obtained in 859 adults (age: 55.5 [46.1, 64.4) years) from the Scottish Diabetes Research Network Type 1 Bioresource. RESULTS In the adolescent cohort, baseline eGFR was negatively associated with trefoil factor-3, cystatin C, and beta-2 microglobulin (B2M) (B coefficient[95%CI]: -0.19 [-0.27, -0.12], P = 7.0 × 10-7 ; -0.18 [-0.26, -0.11], P = 5.1 × 10-6 ; -0.12 [-0.20, -0.05], P = 1.6 × 10-3 ), in addition to clinical covariates. Final eGFR was negatively associated with osteopontin (-0.21 [-0.28, -0.14], P = 2.3 × 10-8 ) and cystatin C (-0.16 [-0.22, -0.09], P = 1.6 × 10-6 ). Rapid decliner phenotype was associated with osteopontin (OR: 1.83 [1.42, 2.41], P = 7.3 × 10-6 ), whereas rapid increaser phenotype was associated with fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) (1.59 [1.23, 2.04], P = 2.6 × 10-4 ). ACR was not associated with any of the biomarkers. In the adult cohort similar associations with eGFR were found; however, several additional biomarkers were associated with eGFR and ACR. CONCLUSIONS In this young population with T1D and high rates of hyperfiltration, osteopontin was the most consistent biomarker associated with prospective changes in eGFR. FGF-23 was associated with eGFR increases, whereas trefoil factor-3, cystatin C, and B2M were associated with baseline eGFR.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) 21 and 23 are recently identified hormones regulating metabolism of glucose, lipid, phosphate and vitamin D. Here we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for circulating FGF21 and FGF23 concentrations to identify their genetic determinants. We enrolled 5,000 participants from Taiwan Biobank for this GWAS. After excluding participants with diabetes mellitus and quality control, association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with log-transformed FGF21 and FGF23 serum concentrations adjusted for age, sex and principal components of ancestry were analyzed. A second model additionally adjusted for body mass index (BMI) and a third model additionally adjusted for BMI and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were used. A total of 4,201 participants underwent GWAS analysis. rs67327215, located within RGS6 (a gene involved in fatty acid synthesis), and two other SNPs (rs12565114 and rs9520257, located between PHC2-ZSCAN20 and ARGLU1-FAM155A respectively) showed suggestive associations with serum FGF21 level (P = 6.66 × 10–7, 6.00 × 10–7 and 6.11 × 10–7 respectively). The SNPs rs17111495 and rs17843626 were significantly associated with FGF23 level, with the former near PCSK9 gene and the latter near HLA-DQA1 gene (P = 1.04 × 10–10 and 1.80 × 10–8 respectively). SNP rs2798631, located within the TGFB2 gene, was suggestively associated with serum FGF23 level (P = 4.97 × 10–7). Additional adjustment for BMI yielded similar results. For FGF23, further adjustment for eGFR had similar results. We conducted the first GWAS of circulating FGF21 levels to date. Novel candidate genetic loci associated with circulating FGF21 or FGF23 levels were found. Further replication and functional studies are needed to support our findings.

Abstract
With aging, the kidney undergoes inexorable and progressive changes in structural and functional performance. These aging-related alterations are more obvious and serious in diabetes mellitus (DM). Renal accelerated aging under DM conditions is associated with multiple stresses such as accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), hypertension, oxidative stress, and inflammation. The main hallmarks of cellular senescence in diabetic kidneys include cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors, telomere shortening, and diabetic nephropathy-associated secretory phenotype. Lysosome-dependent autophagy and antiaging proteins Klotho and Sirt1 play a fundamental role in the accelerated aging of kidneys in DM, among which the autophagy-lysosome system is the convergent mechanism of the multiple antiaging pathways involved in renal aging under DM conditions. Metformin and the inhibitor of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 are recommended due to their antiaging effects independent of antihyperglycemia, besides angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockers. Additionally, diet intervention including low protein and low AGEs with antioxidants are suggested for patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN). However, their long-term benefits still need further study. Exploring the interactive relationships among antiaging protein Klotho, Sirt1, and autophagy-lysosome system may provide insight into better satisfying the urgent medical needs of elderly patients with aging-related DN.
