The anti-aging gene KLOTHO is a novel target for epigenetic silencing in human cervical carcinoma
1 Jan 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Klotho was originally characterized as an anti-aging gene that predisposed Klotho-deficient mice to a premature aging-like syndrome. Recently, KLOTHO was reported to function as a secreted Wnt antagonist and as a tumor suppressor. Epigenetic gene silencing of secreted Wnt antagonists is considered a common event in a wide range of human malignancies. Abnormal activation of the canonical Wnt pathway...
