Age-related declines in α-Klotho drive progenitor cell mitochondrial dysfunction and impaired muscle regeneration
13 Nov 2018
Abstract excerpt
While young muscle is capable of restoring the original architecture of damaged myofibers, aged muscle displays a markedly reduced regeneration. We show that expression of the "anti-aging" protein, α-Klotho, is up-regulated within young injured muscle as a result of transient Klotho promoter demethylation. However, epigenetic control of the Klotho promoter is lost with aging. Genetic inhibition of α-Klotho in...
