Fibroblast growth factor 23 precursor (FGF-23) (Phosphatonin) (Tumor-derived hypophosphatemia-inducing factor) [Contains: Fibroblast growth factor 23 N-terminal peptide; Fibroblast growth factor 23 C-terminal peptide] [HYPF] [UNQ3027/PRO9828] ==Publications== {{medline-entry |title=Phosphate as a Pathogen of Arteriosclerosis and Aging. |pubmed-url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33028781 |abstract=During the evolution of skeletons, terrestrial vertebrates acquired strong bones made of calcium-phosphate. By keeping the extracellular fluid in a supersaturated condition regarding calcium and phosphate ions, they created the bone when and where they wanted simply by providing a cue for precipitation. To secure this strategy, they acquired a novel endocrine system to strictly control the extracellular phosphate concentration. In response to phosphate intake, fibroblast growth factor-23 ([[FGF23]]) is secreted from the bone and acts on the kidney through binding to its receptor Klotho to increase urinary phosphate excretion, thereby maintaining phosphate homeostasis. The [[FGF23]]-Klotho endocrine system, when disrupted in mice, results in hyperphosphatemia and vascular calcification. Besides, mice lacking Klotho or [[FGF23]] suffer from complex aging-like phenotypes, which are alleviated by placing them on a low-phosphate diet, indicating that phosphate is primarily responsible for the accelerated aging. Phosphate acquires the ability to induce cell damage and inflammation when precipitated with calcium. In the blood, calcium-phosphate crystals are adsorbed by serum protein fetuin-A and prevented from growing into large precipitates. Consequently, nanoparticles that comprised calcium-phosphate crystals and fetuin-A, termed calciprotein particles (CPPs), are generated and dispersed as colloids. CPPs increase in the blood with an increase in serum phosphate and age. Circulating CPP levels correlate positively with vascular stiffness and chronic non-infectious inflammation, raising the possibility that CPPs may be an endogenous pro-aging factor. Terrestrial vertebrates with the bone made of calcium-phosphate may be destined to age due to calcium-phosphate in the blood. |keywords=* Aging * Calciprotein particles (CPPs) * Fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) * Inflammation * Klotho * Phosphate * Vascular calcification |full-text-url=https://sci-hub.do/10.5551/jat.RV17045 }} {{medline-entry |title=Plasma Soluble αKlotho, Serum Fibroblast Growth Factor 23, and Mobility Disability in Community-Dwelling Older Adults. |pubmed-url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32405607 |abstract=αKlotho is a hormone and co-receptor for fibroblast growth factor 23 ([[FGF23]]), a hormone that downregulates active vitamin D synthesis and promotes phosphate excretion. Low αKlotho and high [[FGF23]] occur in chronic kidney disease (CKD). We aimed to assess the relationships of αKlotho and [[FGF23]] with mobility disability in community-dwelling older adults. We estimated associations of plasma-soluble αKlotho and serum [[FGF23]] concentrations with mobility disability over 6 years. Additional analyses was stratified by CKD. Participants included 2751 adults (25.0% with CKD), aged 71 to 80 years, from the 1998 to 1999 Health, Aging, and Body Composition Study visit. Walking disability and stair climb disability were defined as self-reported "a lot of difficulty" or an inability to walk a quarter mile and climb 10 stairs, respectively. Median (interquartile range [IQR]) serum [[FGF23]] and plasma soluble αKlotho concentrations were 46.6 (36.7, 60.2) pg/mL and 630.4 (478.4, 816.0) pg/mL, respectively. After adjustment, higher αKlotho concentrations were associated with lower walking disability rates (Rate Ratio [RR] highest vs. lowest tertile = 0.74; 95% confidence interval l [CI] = 0.62, 0.89; [i]P[/i] = 0.003). Higher [[FGF23]] concentrations were associated with higher walking disability rates (RR highest vs. lowest tertile = 1.24; 95%CI = 1.03, 1.50; [i]P[/i] = 0.005). Overall, higher αKlotho combined with lower [[FGF23]] was associated with the lowest walking disability rates ([i]P[/i] for interaction = 0.023). Stair climb disability findings were inconsistent. No interactions with CKD were statistically significant ([i]P[/i] for interaction > 0.10). Higher plasma soluble αKlotho and lower serum [[FGF23]] concentrations were associated with lower walking disability rates in community-dwelling older adults, particularly those without CKD. |keywords=* aging * chronic kidney disease * fibroblast growth factor 23 * mobility disability * αKlotho |full-text-url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7209777 }} {{medline-entry |title=Astragalus improve aging bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) vitality and osteogenesis through VD-[[FGF23]]-Klotho axis. |pubmed-url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32355520 |abstract=To clarify the regulation of astragalus on the aging BMSCs model and the effect of astragalus on Vitamin D (VD)-[[FGF23]]-Klotho axis. siRNA was used to interfere the expression of [[VDR]] gene in aging BMSCs. Serum containing astragalus in different concentrations was added to the cultured cells. The expression of osteocalcin and alkaline phosphatase were detected by alizarin red staining and ELISA. Cell vitality was detected by flow cytometry, [[CCK]]-8 test, and [i]β[/i]-galactosidase staining. The expression of [[FGF23]], Klotho, [[CYP27B1]], and [[CYP24A1]] was detected by qRT-PCR and western blot. The results showed that after reducing [[VDR]] gene expression, the aging BMSCs model showed decreased activity and osteogenic ability, increased expression of [[FGF23]], Klotho and [[CYP24A1]], and decreased expression of [[CYP27B1]]. After adding serum-containing astragalus, the activity of cells and the osteogenic ability was increased; the expression levels of [[FGF23]], Klotho and [[CYP24A1]] were decreased, the expression levels of [[CYP27B1]] were increased, and the trend was more obvious with the increase of astragalus concentration. This study confirmed that astragalus could inhibit the aging of BMSCs and improve the osteogenesis ability by regulating the VD-[[FGF23]]-Klotho pathway. This study provided a certain research basis for the therapeutic of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) on primary osteoporosis. |keywords=* Astragalus * BMSCs * VD-FGF23-Klotho axis * aging * osteogenesis differentiation |full-text-url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7191145 }} {{medline-entry |title=Protective effect of Polygonatum sibiricum Polysaccharide on D-galactose-induced aging rats model. |pubmed-url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32042011 |abstract=The polysaccharide of Polygonatum sibiricum (PSP)is one of the main active ingredients of Polygonatum Polygonatum in Liliaceae. It has anti-tumor, anti-aging, immune regulation, and anti-oxidative effects. Recent studies have shown that the Klotho gene and fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) have a common receptor, which is closely related to aging and highly expressed in kidney and meninges. Our study aimed to investigate the anti-aging effect of PSP on D-galactose-induced rats and its mechanism. D-galactose (120 mg Kg ) and PSP (100 mg Kg ) was used to intervene in rats, respectively. Then The changes of indexes of the natural aging-like model rats before and after PSP intervention were observed. We found that PSP could significantly improve the learning and memory abilities of rats and reverse the pathological changes of kidney tissues in rats. At the same time, PSP up-regulated the expression of Klotho mRNA and Klotho protein in the renal cortex, down-regulated the expression of FOXO3a mRNA and p-FOXO3a protein in renal tissue, and inhibited the expression of FGF-23 protein in the femur. Our studies suggest that PSP may play a role by regulating the Klotho-[[FGF23]] endocrine axis, alleviating oxidative stress, and balancing calcium and phosphorus metabolism. |mesh-terms=* Aging * Animals * Calcium * Dietary Carbohydrates * Fibroblast Growth Factors * Galactose * Glucuronidase * Male * Oxidative Stress * Phosphorus * Phytochemicals * Polygonatum * Polysaccharides * Protective Agents * Rats * Rats, Sprague-Dawley |full-text-url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7010663 }} {{medline-entry |title=[[FGF23]] expression is stimulated in transgenic α-Klotho longevity mouse model. |pubmed-url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31801907 |abstract=Observations in transgenic α-Klotho (Kl) mice (KlTg) defined the antiaging role of soluble Klotho (s[[KL]]130). A genetic translocation that elevates s[[KL]] levels in humans is paradoxically associated with increased circulating fibroblast growth factor 23 ([[FGF23]]) levels and the potential of both membrane [[KL]] (m[[KL]]135) and s[[KL]]130 to act as coreceptors for [[FGF23]] activation of fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs). Neither [[FGF23]] expression nor the contributions of [[FGF23]], m[[KL]]135, and s[[KL]]130 codependent and independent functions have been investigated in KlTg mice. In the current study, we examined the effects of Kl overexpression on [[FGF23]] levels and functions in KlTg mice. We found that m[[KL]]135 but not s[[KL]]130 stimulated [[FGF23]] expression in osteoblasts, leading to elevated Fgf23 bone expression and circulating levels in KlTg mice. Elevated [[FGF23]] suppressed 1,25(OH)2D and parathyroid hormone levels but did not cause hypophosphatemic rickets in KlTg mice. KlTg mice developed low aldosterone-associated hypertension but not left ventricular hypertrophy. Mechanistically, we found that m[[KL]]135 and s[[KL]]130 are essential cofactors for [[FGF23]]-mediated ERK activation but that they inhibited [[FGF23]] stimulation of PLC-γ and PI3K/AKT signaling. Thus, increased longevity in KlTg mice occurs in the presence of excess [[FGF23]] that interacts with m[[KL]] and s[[KL]] to bias FGFR pathways. |mesh-terms=* Aldosterone * Animals * Bone and Bones * Cardiovascular Diseases * Disease Models, Animal * Female * Fibroblast Growth Factors * Gene Knockout Techniques * Glucuronidase * Kidney * Longevity * Male * Mice * Mice, Inbred C57BL * Mice, Transgenic * Osteoblasts * Protein Isoforms * Transcriptome |keywords=* Bone Biology * Cardiovascular disease |full-text-url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6962016 }} {{medline-entry |title=Fibroblast growth factor 23 and symmetric dimethylarginine concentrations in geriatric cats. |pubmed-url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31568615 |abstract=Fibroblast growth factor 23 ([[FGF23]]) is a phosphaturic hormone that is increased in azotemic cats with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and predictive of the onset of azotemia in older cats. The introduction of symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) as a biomarker of glomerular filtration rate has led to the identification of cats in which SDMA is increased, but plasma creatinine concentrations remains within reference range. There is currently little understanding of the metabolic changes present in such cats. To examine the relationship between plasma [[FGF23]] and SDMA concentrations in non-azotemic geriatric cats. Records of a cross section of client-owned cats (n = 143) without azotemic CKD. Clinicopathological information was obtained from cats (≥ 9 years) from records of 2 first opinion practices. The relationship between plasma SDMA and [[FGF23]] concentrations was examined using Spearman's correlation and variables compared using the Mann-Whitney U test. Cats with increased SDMA concentrations had significantly higher plasma [[FGF23]] (P < .001) and creatinine (P < .001) concentrations compared to cats with SDMA concentrations within reference range. A weak positive relationship was demonstrated between plasma [[FGF23]] and SDMA concentrations (r = .35, P < .001) and between plasma [[FGF23]] and creatinine (r = .23, P = .005) concentrations. More cats with increased SDMA concentrations had higher [[FGF23]] concentrations than those with SDMA concentrations within the reference range, suggesting the presence of an alteration in phosphate homeostasis. Further studies are warranted to identify influencing factors and to explore the utility of [[FGF23]] concentration to inform management of cats with early stage CKD. |mesh-terms=* Aging * Animals * Arginine * Biomarkers * Cats * Cross-Sectional Studies * Female * Fibroblast Growth Factors * Male * Reference Values * Retrospective Moral Judgment |keywords=* azotemia * feline * phosphate * renal |full-text-url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6872607 }} {{medline-entry |title=Muscle-bone crosstalk and potential therapies for sarco-osteoporosis. |pubmed-url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31106446 |abstract=The nature of muscle-bone crosstalk has been historically considered to be only mechanical, where the muscle is the load applier while bone provides the attachment sites. However, this dogma has been challenged with the emerging notion that bone and muscle act as secretory endocrine organs affect the function of each other. Biochemical crosstalk occurs through myokines such as myostatin, irisin, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-7, IL-15, insulin-like growth factor-1, fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2, and β-aminoisobutyric acid and through bone-derived factors including [[FGF23]], prostaglandin E , transforming growth factor β, osteocalcin, and sclerostin. Aside from the biochemical and mechanical interaction, additional factors including aging, circadian rhythm, nervous system network, nutrition intake, and exosomes also have effects on bone-muscle crosstalk. Here, we summarize the current research progress in the area, which may be conductive to identify potential novel therapies for the osteoporosis and sarcopenia, especially when they develop in parallel. |mesh-terms=* Aging * Bone and Bones * Circadian Rhythm * Humans * Muscle Proteins * Muscle, Skeletal * Nervous System Physiological Phenomena * Osteocalcin * Protein Binding * Signal Transduction |keywords=* bone * crosstalk * muscle * myokines * osteoporosis * sarcopenia |full-text-url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7331460 }} {{medline-entry |title=Extraskeletal Calcifications in Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome. |pubmed-url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31077852 |abstract=Children with Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS), a rare premature aging disease, exhibit extraskeletal calcifications detected by radiographic analysis and on physical examination. The aim of this study was to describe the natural history and pathophysiology of these abnormal calcifications in HGPS, and to determine whether medications and/or supplements tested in clinical trials alter their development. Children from two successive clinical trials administering 1) lonafarnib (n = 26) and 2) lonafarnib pravastatin zoledronic acid (n = 37) were studied at baseline (pre-therapy), one year on therapy, and at end-of-therapy (3.3-4.3 years after the baseline visit). Calcium supplementation (oral calcium carbonate) was administered during the first year of the second trial and was subsequently discontinued. Information on calcifications was obtained from physical examinations, radiographs, and serum and urinary biochemical measures. The mineral content of two skin-derived calcifications was determined by x-ray diffraction. Extraskeletal calcifications were detected radiographically in 12/39 (31%) patients at baseline. The odds of exhibiting calcifications increased with age (p = 0.045). The odds were unaffected by receipt of lonafarnib, pravastatin, and zoledronate therapies. However, administration of calcium carbonate supplementation, in conjunction with all three therapeutic agents, significantly increased the odds of developing calcifications (p = 0.009), with the odds plateauing after the supplement's discontinuation. Composition analysis of calcinosis cutis showed hydroxyapatite similar to bone. Although serum calcium, phosphorus, and parathyroid hormone ([[PTH]]) were within normal limits at baseline and on-therapy, [[PTH]] increased significantly after lonafarnib initiation (p < 0.001). Both the urinary calcium/creatinine ratio and tubular reabsorption of phosphate (TRP) were elevated at baseline in 22/39 (56%) and 31/37 (84%) evaluable patients, respectively, with no significant changes while on-therapy. The mean calcium × phosphorus product (Ca × Pi) was within normal limits, but plasma magnesium decreased over both clinical trials. Fibroblast growth factor 23 ([[FGF23]]) was lower compared to age-matched controls (p = 0.03). Extraskeletal calcifications increased with age in children with HGPS and were composed of hydroxyapatite. The urinary calcium/creatinine ratio and TRP were elevated for age while [[FGF23]] was decreased. Magnesium decreased and [[PTH]] increased after lonafarnib therapy which may alter the ability to mobilize calcium. These findings demonstrate that children with HGPS with normal renal function and an unremarkable Ca × Pi develop extraskeletal calcifications by an unidentified mechanism that may involve decreased plasma magnesium and [[FGF23]]. Calcium carbonate accelerated their development and is, therefore, not recommended for routine supplementation in these children. |mesh-terms=* Calcinosis * Calcium * Child * Child, Preschool * Creatinine * Female * Humans * In Vitro Techniques * Lamin Type A * Male * Parathyroid Hormone * Piperidines * Pravastatin * Progeria * Pyridines * Zoledronic Acid |keywords=* Aging * Extraskeletal calcifications * HGPS * Lamin * Laminopathy * Magnesium * Parathyroid hormone * Progeria |full-text-url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6628204 }} {{medline-entry |title=Genome-wide associations and detection of potential candidate genes for direct genetic and maternal genetic effects influencing dairy cattle body weight at different ages. |pubmed-url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30727969 |abstract=Body weight (BW) at different ages are of increasing importance in dairy cattle breeding schemes, because of their strong correlation with energy efficiency traits, and their impact on cow health, longevity and farm economy. In total, 15,921 dairy cattle from 56 large-scale test-herds with BW records were genotyped for 45,613 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). This dataset was used for genome-wide association studies (GWAS), in order to localize potential candidate genes for direct and maternal genetic effects on BW recorded at birth (BW0), at 2 to 3 months of age (BW23), and at 13 to 14 months of age (BW1314). The first 20 principal components ([[PC]]) of the genomic relationship matrix ([Formula: see text]) grouped the genotyped cattle into three clusters. In the statistical models used for GWAS, correction for population structure was done by including polygenic effects with various genetic similarity matrices, such as the pedigree-based relationship matrix ([Formula: see text]), the [Formula: see text]-matrix, the reduced [Formula: see text]-matrix LOCO (i.e. exclusion of the chromosome on which the candidate SNP is located), and LOCO plus chromosome-wide [[PC]]. Inflation factors for direct genetic effects using [Formula: see text] and LOCO were larger than 1.17. For [Formula: see text] and LOCO plus chromosome-wide [[PC]], inflation factors were very close to 1.0. According to Bonferroni correction, ten, two and seven significant SNPs were detected for the direct genetic effect on BW0, BW23, and BW1314, respectively. Seventy-six candidate genes contributed to direct genetic effects on BW with four involved in growth and developmental processes: [[FGF6]], [[FGF23]], [[TNNT3]], and [[OMD]]. For maternal genetic effects on BW0, only three significant SNPs (according to Bonferroni correction), and four potential candidate genes, were identified. The most significant SNP on chromosome 19 explained only 0.14% of the maternal de-regressed proof variance for BW0. For correction of population structure in GWAS, we suggest a statistical model that considers LOCO plus chromosome-wide [[PC]]. Regarding direct genetic effects, several SNPs had a significant effect on BW at different ages, and only two SNPs on chromosome 5 had a significant effect on all three BW traits. Thus, different potential candidate genes regulate BW at different ages. Maternal genetic effects followed an infinitesimal model. |mesh-terms=* Aging * Animals * Body Weight * Cattle * Extracellular Matrix Proteins * Female * Fibroblast Growth Factors * Genome-Wide Association Study * Male * Polymorphism, Single Nucleotide * Proteoglycans * Quantitative Trait Loci * Troponin T |full-text-url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6366057 }} {{medline-entry |title=Age-Related Changes and Effects of Bisphosphonates on Bone Turnover and Disease Progression in Fibrous Dysplasia of Bone. |pubmed-url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30645769 |abstract=Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a mosaic disease in which bone is replaced with fibro-osseous tissue. Lesions expand during childhood, reaching final burden by age 15 years. In vitro data suggest that disease activity decreases in adulthood; however, there is no clinical data to support this concept. Bone turnover markers (BTMs) have been used as markers of disease activity in FD; however, the natural history of BTM changes, the effects of antiresorptive treatment, and their association to clinical outcomes have not been described. The goals of this study are to describe 1) the natural history of FD disease activity and its association with pain; 2) the impact of bisphosphonates on the natural history of BTMs; and 3) the effect of bisphosphonates on progression of FD burden during childhood. Disease burden scores and alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, NTx, [[FGF23]], and RANKL levels from 178 subjects in an FD/MAS natural history study were reviewed, including 73 subjects treated with bisphosphonates. BTMs, RANKL, and [[FGF23]] demonstrated a sustained reduction with age. Bisphosphonate treatment did not significantly impact this age-dependent decrease in BTMs. Pain was more prevalent and severe in adults compared with children and was not associated with BTMs. In children, the progression of disease burden was not affected by bisphosphonates. In conclusion, FD is associated with an age-dependent decline in bone turnover and other markers of disease activity. Pain, in contrast, is more frequent and severe in adults with FD and is not related to bone turnover. Bisphosphonate treatment does not significantly impact the age-dependent decrease in bone turnover, nor does it prevent the progression of FD disease burden in children. These findings, in association with the established adverse effects of antiresorptives, should be considered when evaluating use and response to bisphosphonates in patients being treated for FD and in any study using BTMs as surrogate endpoints. © 2019 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research. |mesh-terms=* Adolescent * Adult * Age Factors * Aged * Aged, 80 and over * Aging * Biomarkers * Bone Remodeling * Child * Child, Preschool * Diphosphonates * Female * Fibrous Dysplasia of Bone * Humans * Male * Middle Aged * Pain * Prevalence |keywords=* ANTIRESORPTIVES * BIOCHEMICAL MARKERS OF BONE TURNOVER * FIBROUS DYSPLASIA * MCCUNE-ALBRIGHT SYNDROME |full-text-url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6983318 }} {{medline-entry |title=Kotho and aging. |pubmed-url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30557478 |abstract=Three fibroblast growth factor(FGF) members, [[FGF19]], [[FGF21]], and [[FGF23]], function as endocrine factors that regulate various metabolic processes.

Defects in Klotho or [[FGF23]] result in disturbed mineral metabolism and accelerated aging. The aging phenotypes can be alleviated by correcting phosphate imbalance, leading us to hypothesize that phosphate accelerates aging. In contrast, overexpression of [[FGF21]] extends life span in mice.

Collectively, these proteins form a unique endocrine system that governs multiple metabolic processes in mammals. [[FGF19]] is a satiety hormone that is secreted from the intestine on ingestion of food and binds the βKlotho-[[FGFR4]] complex in hepatocytes to promote metabolic responses to feeding. By contrast, under fasting conditions, the liver secretes the starvation hormone [[FGF21]], which induces metabolic responses to fasting and stress responses through the activation of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis and the sympathetic nervous system following binding to the βKlotho-FGFR1c complex in adipocytes and the suprachiasmatic nucleus, respectively. Finally, [[FGF23]] is secreted by osteocytes in response to phosphate intake and binds to αKlotho-FGFR complexes, which are expressed most abundantly in renal tubules, to regulate mineral metabolism. Growing evidence suggests that the FGF-Klotho endocrine system also has a crucial role in the pathophysiology of ageing-related disorders, including diabetes, cancer, arteriosclerosis and chronic kidney disease. Therefore, targeting the FGF-Klotho endocrine axes might have therapeutic benefit in multiple systems; investigation of the crystal structures of FGF-Klotho-FGFR complexes is paving the way for the development of drugs that can regulate these axes. |mesh-terms=* Aging * Animals * Biomarkers * Birds * Cardiovascular Diseases * Endocrine System Diseases * Fibroblast Growth Factors * Glucuronidase * Humans * Hypothalamo-Hypophyseal System * Kidney Diseases * Mammals * Phosphates * Pituitary-Adrenal System |full-text-url=https://sci-hub.do/10.1038/s41581-018-0078-3 }} {{medline-entry |title=Wnt signaling in bone, kidney, intestine, and adipose tissue and interorgan interaction in aging. |pubmed-url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30101565 |abstract=Over the last two decades, it has become increasingly apparent that Wnt signaling plays a critical role in development and adult tissue homeostasis in multiple organs and in the pathogenesis of many diseases. In particular, a crucial role for Wnt signaling in bone development and bone tissue homeostasis has been well recognized. Numerous genome-wide association studies confirmed the importance of Wnt signaling in controlling bone mass. Moreover, ample evidence suggests that Wnt signaling is essential for kidney, intestine, and adipose tissue development and homeostasis. Recent emerging evidence demonstrates that Wnt signaling may play a fundamental role in the aging process of those organs. New discoveries show that bone is not only the major reservoir for calcium and phosphate storage, but also the largest organ with multiple functions, including mineral and energy metabolism. The interactions among bone, kidney, intestine, and adipose tissue are controlled and regulated by several endocrine signals, including [[FGF23]], klotho, sclerostin, osteocalcin, vitamin D, and leptin.

However, complementary molecular frailty biomarkers or ideally biomarker panels have not yet been identified. We conducted a systematic search to identify biomarker candidates for a frailty biomarker panel. Gene expression databases were searched (http://genomics.senescence.info/genes including GenAge, AnAge, LongevityMap, CellAge, DrugAge, Digital Aging Atlas) to identify genes regulated in aging, longevity, and age-related diseases with a focus on secreted factors or molecules detectable in body fluids as potential frailty biomarkers. Factors broadly expressed, related to several "hallmark of aging" pathways as well as used or predicted as biomarkers in other disease settings, particularly age-related pathologies, were identified. This set of biomarkers was further expanded according to the expertise and experience of the authors. In the next step, biomarkers were assigned to six "hallmark of aging" pathways, namely (1) inflammation, (2) mitochondria and apoptosis, (3) calcium homeostasis, (4) fibrosis, (5) NMJ (neuromuscular junction) and neurons, (6) cytoskeleton and hormones, or (7) other principles and an extensive literature search was performed for each candidate to explore their potential and priority as frailty biomarkers.

Klotho protein exists in several forms including the full-length membrane form (mKl) and a soluble circulating form [soluble klotho (sKl)]. mKl complexes with fibroblast growth factor receptors to form coreceptors for [[FGF23]], which allows it to participate in [[FGF23]]-mediated signal transduction and regulation of phosphate and calcium homeostasis. sKl is present in the blood, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid where it performs a multitude of functions including regulation of ion channels/transporters and growth factor signaling. How sKl exerts these pleiotropic functions is poorly understood. One hurdle in understanding sKl's mechanism of action as a "hormone" has been the inability to identify a receptor that mediates its effects. In the body, the kidneys are a major source of sKl and sKl levels decline during renal disease. sKl deficiency in chronic kidney disease makes the heart susceptible to stress-induced injury. Here, we summarize the current knowledge of mKl's mechanism of action, the mechanistic basis of sKl's protective, [[FGF23]]-independent effects on the heart, and provide new insights into the mechanism of action of sKl focusing on recent findings that sKl binds sialogangliosides in membrane lipid rafts to regulate growth factor signaling. |keywords=* FGF23 * IGF-1 * TRPC6 * aging * heart disease * klotho * lipid rafts * sialidase |full-text-url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5715364 }} {{medline-entry |title=The relevance of α-[[KL]]OTHO to the central nervous system: Some key questions. |pubmed-url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28323064 |abstract=α-Klotho is well described as an anti-aging protein, with critical roles in kidney function as a transmembrane co-receptor for [[FGF23]], and as a soluble factor in serum. α-Klotho is also expressed in the choroid plexus, where it is released into the cerebrospinal fluid. Nonetheless, α-Klotho is also expressed in the brain parenchyma. Accumulating evidence indicates that this pool of α-Klotho, which we define as brain α-Klotho, may play important roles as a neuroprotective factor and in promoting myelination, thereby supporting healthy brain aging. Here we summarize what is known about brain α-Klotho before focusing on the outstanding scientific questions related to its function. We believe there is a need for in vitro studies designed to distinguish between brain α-Klotho and other pools of α-Klotho, and for a greater understanding of the basic function of soluble α-Klotho. The mechanism by which the human [[KL]]-VS variant affects cognition also requires further elucidation. To help address these questions we suggest some experimental approaches that other laboratories might consider. In short, we hope to stimulate fresh ideas and encourage new research approaches that will allow the importance of α-Klotho for the aging brain to become clear. |mesh-terms=* Aging * Animals * Brain * Central Nervous System * Cognition * Fibroblast Growth Factors * Glucuronidase * Humans |keywords=* Aging * CNS * Cognition * KLOTHO * Signaling |full-text-url=https://sci-hub.do/10.1016/j.arr.2017.03.003 }} {{medline-entry |title=Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 and the Risk of Infection-Related Hospitalization in Older Adults. |pubmed-url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28122946 |abstract=Within monocytes, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH) D] is important for production of cathelicidins, which in turn, are critical for antibacterial action.

We examined this possibility in 3141 community-dwelling adults ages ≥65 years old at baseline in the Cardiovascular Health Study using Cox proportional hazards models to examine the association between [[FGF23]] concentrations and first infection-related hospitalizations and determine whether associations differed by the presence of CKD (eGFR<60 ml/min per 1.73 m [[i]n[/i]=832] or urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio >30 mg/g [[i]n[/i]=577]).

Cardiovascular structure and function were assessed by the left ventricular ejection fraction, the ratio of early diastolic peak flow velocity to late diastolic peak flow velocity at the mitral leaflet tips, carotid intima-media thickness, the diameter of the bilateral common carotid artery, blood systolic peak and end diastolic velocities, which were measured by M-mode ultrasonography. Glomerular filtration rate was evaluated using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation and Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation for Asians. Serum [[FGF23]], 1, 25-dihydroxy vitamin D and parathyroid hormone were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. For all participants, intima-media thickness/diameter of the bilateral common carotid artery gradually decreased with the progression from low to high [[FGF23]] concentration (P < 0.05). After adjusting for all possible confounders, [[FGF23]] remained significantly associated with intima-media thickness/diameter of the bilateral common carotid artery (P = 0.016).

The aim of this study was to analyze the molecular mechanisms of delayed wound healing by aging using α-Klotho-deficient (kl/kl) mice, which have phenotypes similar to those of aged humans. The kl/kl mice showed delayed wound healing and impaired granulation formation compared with those in wild-type (WT) mice.

The excessive tissue calcification dramatically accelerates aging and leads to premature death of the animals. Osteogenic signaling in those mice is disrupted by treatment with NH4Cl, which prevents tissue calcification and early death of kl/kl mice. The present study explored whether the beneficial effects of NH4Cl treatment could be mimicked by NH4NO3 treatment. The kl/kl mice had free access to tap water either without or with addition of NH4NO3 (0.28 M) starting with the mating of the parental generation. Calcification of trachea, lung, kidney, stomach, heart and vessels was visualized by histology with von Kossa staining.

In untreated kl/kl mice plasma 1,25(OH)2D3 and phosphate concentrations were elevated, and the mice suffered from marked calcification of all tissues analyzed. Untreated kl/kl mice further suffered from respiratory acidosis due to marked lung emphysema.

Klotho is an anti-aging single-pass membrane protein predominantly produced in the kidney, with shedding of the amino-terminal extracellular domain into the systemic circulation. Circulating levels of soluble Klotho decrease with age, and the klotho gene is associated with increased risk of age-related diseases. The three forms of Klotho protein have distinct functions. Membrane Klotho forms a complex with fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptors, functions as an obligatory co-receptor for [[FGF23]], which is involved in aging and the development of chronic diseases via regulation of P i and vitamin D metabolism. Secreted Klotho functions as a humoral factor with pleiotropic activities including regulation of oxidative stress, growth factor signaling, and ion homeostasis. Secreted Klotho is also involved in organ protection. The intracellular form of Klotho suppresses inflammation-mediated cellular senescence and mineral metabolism.

Klotho counteracts vascular calcification and diverse age-related disorders. Klotho-hypomorphic mice (kl/kl) suffer from severe vascular calcification and rapid aging. The calcification is at least in part caused by excessive 1,25(OH)2D3, Ca(2 ), and phosphate concentrations in blood, which trigger osteogenic signaling including upregulation of alkaline phosphatase (Alpl). As precipitation of calcium and phosphate is fostered by alkaline pH, extracellular acidosis could counteract tissue calcification. In order to induce acidosis, acetazolamide was added to drinking water (0.8 g/l) of kl/kl and wild-type mice. As a result, acetazolamide treatment of kl/kl mice partially reversed the growth deficit, tripled the life span, almost completely reversed the calcifications in trachea, lung, kidney, stomach, intestine, and vascular tissues, the excessive aortic alkaline phosphatase mRNA levels and the plasma concentrations of osteoprotegerin, osteopontin as well as fetuin-A, without significantly decreasing [[FGF23]], 1,25(OH)2D3, Ca(2 ), and phosphate plasma concentrations.

In addition, EC may be inherited as part of several monogenic disorders and studies of these have provided valuable insights into the metabolic pathways regulating mineral metabolism. For example, studies of tumoural calcinosis, a disorder characterised by hyperphosphataemia and progressive EC, have revealed mutations of fibroblast growth factor 23 ([[FGF23]]), polypeptide N-acetyl galactosaminyltransferase 3 (GALNT3) and klotho (KL), which are all part of a phosphate-regulating pathway. However, such studies in humans are limited by the lack of available large families with EC, and to facilitate such studies we assessed the progeny of mice treated with the chemical mutagen N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) for EC. This identified two mutants with autosomal recessive forms of EC, and reduced lifespan, designated Ecalc1 and Ecalc2. Genetic mapping localized the Ecalc1 and Ecalc2 loci to a 11.0 Mb region on chromosome 5 that contained the klotho gene (Kl), and DNA sequence analysis identified nonsense (Gln203Stop) and missense (Ile604Asn) Kl mutations in Ecalc1 and Ecalc2 mice, respectively. The Gln203Stop mutation, located in KL1 domain, was severely hypomorphic and led to a 17-fold reduction of renal Kl expression. The Ile604Asn mutation, located in KL2 domain, was predicted to impair klotho protein stability and in vitro expression studies in COS-7 cells revealed endoplasmic reticulum retention of the Ile604Asn mutant. Further phenotype studies undertaken in Ecalc1 (kl203X/203X) mice demonstrated elevations in plasma concentrations of phosphate, [[FGF23]] and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D.

We also observed ectopic expression of [[FGF23]] in calcified arteries of α-kl(-/-) mice, which might account for the clinically observed association of increased [[FGF23]] level with increased risk of cardiovascular mortality.

While membrane-bound Klotho, which is primarily expressed in the kidney, acts as an obligate co-receptor of [[FGF23]] to regulate phosphate homeostasis, secreted Klotho, resulting from the shedding of the KL1-KL2 ectodomain into the bloodstream, inhibits Insulin/IGF1 signalling. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. Here, we investigated the biological role of Klotho in Caenorhabditis elegans. Two redundant homologues of the klotho gene exist in C. elegans and encode predicted proteins homologous to the glucosidase-like KL1 domain of mammalian Klotho. We have used a genetic approach to investigate the functional activity of Klotho in C. elegans. Here, we report that whereas Klotho requires EGL-15 (FGFR) and EGL-17 to promote longevity and oxidative stress resistance, it is not involved in the regulation of fluid homeostasis, controlled by LET-756. Besides revealing a new post-developmental role for EGL-17, our data suggest that the KL1 form of Klotho is involved in [[FGF23]]-independent FGF signalling. We also report a genetic interaction between Klotho and the DAF-2 (Ins/IGF1R)/DAF-16 (FOXO) pathway. While the regulation of longevity requires functional DAF-2/DAF-16 signalling, the control of oxidative stress resistance involves a DAF-2- independent, DAF-16-dependent pathway, suggesting that Klotho may target either DAF-2 or DAF-16, depending of environmental conditions. Thus, the predictive KL1 form of Klotho appears to crosstalk with both FGF and Insulin/IGF1/FOXO pathways to exert anti-aging properties in C. elegans. |mesh-terms=* Aging * Amino Acid Sequence * Animals * Caenorhabditis elegans * Caenorhabditis elegans Proteins * Fibroblast Growth Factors * Glucuronidase * Insulin * Insulin-Like Growth Factor I * Intercellular Signaling Peptides and Proteins * Longevity * Models, Animal * Molecular Sequence Data * Receptor, Insulin * Receptors, Fibroblast Growth Factor * Signal Transduction * Stress, Physiological * Water-Electrolyte Balance |full-text-url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2984606 }} {{medline-entry |title=Effect of sirolimus on calcineurin inhibitor-induced nephrotoxicity using renal expression of KLOTHO, an antiaging gene. |pubmed-url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20562737 |abstract=The aim of this study was to observe the effect of sirolimus ([[SRL]]) on calcineurin inhibitor (CNI)-induced nephrotoxicity in the aging process by using renal expression of KLOTHO, an antiaging gene.

[[FGF23]]; physiological action and molecular mechanism in the regulation of phosphate and vitamin D metabolism]. |pubmed-url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19483273 |abstract=Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 23 is an endocrine hormone regulating the phosphate and vitamin D metabolism in the normal physiology. Recent studies have revealed that Klotho plays an essential role in [[FGF23]] signaling. Klotho-deficient mice exhibit premature aging-like phenotypes, and therefore, this molecule has provided insights into the molecular mechanism of aging. However, it is suggested that the phenotype of the Klotho-deficient mice results from the disturbance in the phosphate and vitamin D metabolism. The importance of the [[FGF23]]/Klotho system thus is evident, but additional questions arose from this new concept. |mesh-terms=* Aging * Amino Acid Sequence * Animals * Fibroblast Growth Factors * Glucuronidase * Humans * Mice * Molecular Sequence Data * Phosphates * Signal Transduction * Vitamin D |full-text-url=https://sci-hub.do/CliCa0906794801 }} {{medline-entry |title=Vitamin D and aging. |pubmed-url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19444937 |abstract=Recent studies using genetically modified mice, such as [[FGF23]]-/- and Klotho-/- mice that exhibit altered mineral homeostasis due to a high vitamin D activity showed features of premature aging that include retarded growth, osteoporosis, atherosclerosis, ectopic calcification, immunological deficiency, skin and general organ atrophy, hypogonadism and short lifespan. The phenotype reversed by normalizing vitamin D and/or mineral homeostasis. Thus, hypervitaminosis D due to an increased 1alpha-hydroxylase activity seems to be a cause of the premature aging. In several studies, we have described that a complete or partial lack of vitamin D action ([[VDR]]-/- mice and [[CYP27B1]]-/-) show almost similar phenotype as [[FGF23]]-/- or Klotho-/- mice. [[VDR]] mutant mice have growth retardation, osteoporosis, kyphosis, skin thickening and wrinkling, alopecia, ectopic calcification, progressive loss of hearing and balance as well as short lifespan. [[CYP27B1]]-/- mice do not show alopecia nor balance deficit, which might be apo[[VDR]]-dependent or calcidiol-dependent. The features are typical to premature aging. The phenotype is resistant to a normalization of the mineral homeostasis by a rescue diet containing high calcium and phosphate. Taken together, aging shows a U-shaped dependency on hormonal forms of vitamin D suggesting that there is an optimal concentration of vitamin D in delaying aging phenomena. Our recent study shows that calcidiol is an active hormone. Since serum calcidiol but not calcitriol is fluctuating in physiological situations, calcidiol might determine the biological output of vitamin D action. Due to its high serum concentration and better uptake of calcidiol-[[DBP]] by the target cells through the cubilin-megalin system, calcidiol seems to be an important circulating hormone. Therefore, serum calcidiol might be associated with an increased risk of aging-related chronic diseases more directly than calcitriol. Aging and cancer seem to be tightly associated phenomena. Accumulation of damage on DNA and telomeres cause both aging and cancer, moreover the signalling pathways seem to converge on tumour suppressor protein, p53, which seems to be regulated by vitamin D. Also, the insulin-like growth factor signalling pathway (IGF-1, IGFBPs, IGFR) and fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) regulate growth, aging and cancer. Vitamin D can regulate these signalling pathways, too. Also NF-kappaB and telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) might be molecular mechanisms mediating vitamin D action in aging and cancer. Calcidiol serum concentrations show a U-shaped risk of prostate cancer suggesting an optimal serum concentration of 40-60 nmol/L for the lowest cancer risk. Therefore, it is necessary to study several common aging-associated diseases such as osteoporosis, hypertension and diabetes known to be vitamin D-dependent before any recommendations of an optimal serum concentration of calcidiol are given. |mesh-terms=* Aging * Aging, Premature * Animals * Calcifediol * Calcitriol * Fibroblast Growth Factors * Glucuronidase * Humans * Neoplasms * Nutrition Disorders * Vitamin D * Vitamin D Deficiency |full-text-url=https://sci-hub.do/10.1016/j.jsbmb.2008.12.020 }} {{medline-entry |title=Therapeutic effects of anti-[[FGF23]] antibodies in hypophosphatemic rickets/osteomalacia. |pubmed-url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19419316 |abstract=X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH), characterized by renal phosphate wasting, is the most common cause of vitamin D-resistant rickets. It has been postulated that some phosphaturic factor plays a causative role in XLH and its murine homolog, the Hyp mouse. Fibroblast growth factor 23 ([[FGF23]]) is a physiological phosphaturic factor; its circulatory level is known to be high in most patients with XLH and Hyp mice, suggesting its pathophysiological role in this disease. To test this hypothesis, we treated Hyp mice with anti-[[FGF23]] antibodies to inhibit endogenous [[FGF23]] action. A single injection of the antibodies corrected the hypophosphatemia and inappropriately normal serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D. These effects were accompanied by increased expressions of type IIa sodium-phosphate cotransporter and 25-hydroxyvitamin-D-1alpha-hydroxylase and a suppressed expression of 24-hydroxylase in the kidney. Repeated injections during the growth period ameliorated the rachitic bone phenotypes typically observed in Hyp mice, such as impaired longitudinal elongation, defective mineralization, and abnormal cartilage development. Thus, these results indicate that excess actions of [[FGF23]] underlie hypophosphatemic rickets in Hyp mice and suggest a novel therapeutic potential of the [[FGF23]] antibodies for XLH. |mesh-terms=* Aging * Animals * Antibodies * Body Weight * Familial Hypophosphatemic Rickets * Female * Fibroblast Growth Factors * Genetic Diseases, X-Linked * Growth Plate * Immunohistochemistry * Injections, Subcutaneous * Male * Mice * Osteomalacia * Tibia * Time Factors * Vitamin D |full-text-url=https://sci-hub.do/10.1359/jbmr.090509 }} {{medline-entry |title=Klotho and aging. |pubmed-url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19230844 |abstract=The klotho gene encodes a single-pass transmembrane protein that forms a complex with multiple fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptors and functions as an obligatory co-receptor for [[FGF23]], a bone-derived hormone that induces negative phosphate balance. Defects in either Klotho or Fgf23 gene expression cause not only phosphate retention but also a premature-aging syndrome in mice, unveiling a potential link between phosphate metabolism and aging. In addition, the extracellular domain of Klotho protein is clipped on the cell surface and secreted into blood stream, potentially functioning as an endocrine factor. The secreted Klotho protein has a putative sialidase activity that modifies glycans on the cell surface, which may explain the ability of secreted Klotho protein to regulate activity of multiple ion channels and growth factors including insulin, IGF-1, and Wnt. Secreted Klotho protein also protects cells and tissues from oxidative stress through a mechanism yet to be identified. Thus, the transmembrane and secreted forms of Klotho protein have distinct functions, which may collectively affect aging processes in mammals. |mesh-terms=* Aging * Animals * Calcium Channels * Fibroblast Growth Factors * Glucuronidase * Humans * Mice * Models, Biological * Mutation * Vitamin D |full-text-url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2743784 }} {{medline-entry |title=Vitamin D receptor genotype in hypophosphatemic rickets as a predictor of growth and response to treatment. |pubmed-url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18827005 |abstract=Treatment of X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets improves bone mineralization and bone deformities, but its effect on skeletal growth is highly variable. Genetic variants in the promoter region of the vitamin D receptor ([[VDR]]) gene may explain the response to treatment because this receptor mediates vitamin D action. We studied the [[VDR]] promoter haplotype structure in a large cohort of 91 patients with hypophosphatemic rickets including 62 patients receiving 1alpha-hydroxyvitamin D3 derivatives and phosphates from early childhood on. Treatment improved bone deformities and final height, but 39% of treated patients still had short stature at the end of growth (-2 sd score or below). Height was closely associated with [[VDR]] promoter Hap1 genotype. Hap1(-) patients (35% of the cohort) had severe growth defects. This disadvantageous association of Hap1(-) status with height was visible before treatment, under treatment, and on to adulthood. Gender and age at initiation of treatment could not account for the Hap1 effect. No association with growth was found with a polymorphism of the [[PTH]] receptor gene otherwise found to be associated with adult height. Compared with Hap1( ) patients, those who were Hap1(-) had a higher urinary calcium response to 1alpha-hydroxyvitamin D3 and had significantly lower circulating [[FGF23]] levels (C-terminal assay), taking into account their phosphate and 1alpha-hydroxyvitamin D3 intakes. The present work identifies the [[VDR]] promoter genotype as a key predictor of growth under treatment with 1alpha-hydroxyvitamin D3 derivatives in patients with hypophosphatemic rickets, including those with established [[PHEX]] alterations. The [[VDR]] promoter genotype appears to provide valuable information for adjusting treatment and for deciding upon the utility of early GH therapy. |mesh-terms=* Adolescent * Adult * Aging * Calcitriol * Child * Child, Preschool * Cohort Studies * DNA * Familial Hypophosphatemic Rickets * Female * Fibroblast Growth Factors * Genetic Diseases, X-Linked * Genotype * Haplotypes * Humans * Male * Middle Aged * Organophosphates * Predictive Value of Tests * Promoter Regions, Genetic * Receptor, Parathyroid Hormone, Type 1 * Receptors, Calcitriol * Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction * Sex Characteristics * Young Adult |full-text-url=https://sci-hub.do/10.1210/jc.2007-2553 }} {{medline-entry |title=[Role of kidney in calcium homeostasis and premature aging]. |pubmed-url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18591745 |abstract=The kidney plays a critical role in the calcium (Ca) homeostasis.

Disturbed Ca metabolism may be associated with premature aging process, in which various cellular function is impaired by intracellular Ca burden due to increased Ca efflux from bone.

Conversely, mice overexpressing klotho show an extended existence and a slow aging process through a mechanism that may involve the induction of a state of insulin and oxidant stress resistance. Two molecules are produced by the klotho gene, a membrane bound form and a circulating form. However, their precise biological roles and molecular functions have been only partly deciphered. Klotho can act as a circulating factor or hormone, which binds to a not yet identified high-affinity receptor and inhibits the intracellular insulin/insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) signaling cascade; klotho can function as a novel beta-glucuronidase, which deglycosylates steroid beta-glucuronides and the calcium channel transient receptor potential vallinoid-5 (TRPV5); as a cofactor essential for the stimulation of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor by [[FGF23]]. The two last functions have propelled klotho to the group of key factors regulating mineral and vitamin D metabolism, and have also stimulated the interest of the nephrology community. The purpose of this review is to provide a nephrology-oriented overview of klotho and its potential implications in normal and altered renal function states. |mesh-terms=* Aging * Animals * Bone and Bones * Glucuronidase * Humans * Kidney * Minerals * RNA, Messenger * Vitamin D |full-text-url=https://sci-hub.do/10.1038/sj.ki.5002163 }} {{medline-entry |title=[Vitamin D and phosphate metabolism; relationship with aging-regulating gene]. |pubmed-url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16816473 |abstract=It has been known that phosphate homeostasis is mainly regulated by parathyroid hormone and vitamin D.

The klotho gene responsible for these phenotypes encodes a type I membrane protein with a considerable similarity to beta-glycosidase. klotho is predominantly expressed in tissues functioning in the regulation of calcium homeostasis. Suggested functions of Klotho are (i) a fundamental regulator of calcium homeostasis, namely, a cofactor for the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor 1c in [[FGF23]] signaling and a regulator of parathyroid hormone secretion; (ii) a hormone that interferes with the intracellular signaling of insulin and insulin-like growth factor-1; and (iii) a beta-glucuronidase that activates the transient receptor potential ion channel [[TRPV5]] by trimming its sugar moiety.
