GENE THERAPY For Kidney Rescue

Klotho

Klotho has been called the king of anti-aging proteins.  For years  its absence has been known to contribute to Chronic Kidney Disease, but research now has turned to its broader role in the aging process as a whole. 

Inducing Klotho expression with gene therapy in mice lengthens their lifespans by targeting many of the same pathways as caloric restriction. Knocking it out, on the other hand, causes premature aging. It not only protects the brain, but contributes more to differences in intelligence than any single gene. 

Research by a group at the University of California showed Klotho protected the brains of mice and improved their brain function within four hours - this included young mice, old mice, and those bred to serve as a model for Alzheimer's Disease. It also plays a critical role in the inflammaging process, Dr. Lei Zu states: 

"The barrier between the brain and the immune system seems to break down with low levels of Klotho. Our findings indicate that Klotho helps keep that barrier closed. When levels of this molecule are depleted in the choroid plexus, the barrier becomes more porous and allows immune cells and inflammatory molecules to get through more easily.”
