Abstract

Atherosclerosis (AS) is the basis of cardiovascular diseases, characterized by chronic inflammatory and lipid metabolism disorders. Although the anti-inflammatory effect of Klotho in AS has been clearly shown, its lipid-lowering effect is unclear. In this study, we examined the effects of recombinant Klotho (Re-KL) protein on lipid accumulation in foam cells. THP-1 cells were exposed to 100 nM phorbol myristate acetate for 24 h and then to oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL; 80 mg/mL) to induce foam cell formation. Subsequently, the foam cells were incubated with Re-KL and/or DKK1, an inhibitor of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Oil red O staining and cholesterol intake assay revealed that the foam cell model was constructed successfully. Pre-treatment of the foam cells with Re-KL decreased total cholesterol level, up-regulated the expression of ATP binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) and G1 (ABCG1), and down-regulated the expression of acyl coenzyme a-cholesterol acyltransferase 1 (ACAT1) and members of the scavenger family (SR-A1 and CD36). In addition, the expression of Wnt/β-catenin pathway-related proteins in foam cells was significantly decreased by the stimulus of Re-KL. Interestingly, the effect of Re-KL was simila...Continue Reading

Atherosclerosis Disease Progression

Atherosclerosis is the buildup of plaque on artery walls, causing stenosis which can eventually lead to clinically apparent cardiovascular disease. Find the latest research on atherosclerosis disease progression here.

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.
