Abstract:
Objective To investigate the relationship of α-klotho protein and obesity related glomerulonephritis.Methods The chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with or without ORG were diagnosed by renal biopsy.The normal and abdominal obesity control people were enrolled from the physical examination center.Propensity scoring analysis was done to balance the four groups of people in important clinical characteristics.The α-klotho levels in blood and urine were detected by ELISA.ORG mouse model was established and the mRNA and protein expression of klotho protein were detected by real-time quantitative PCR and Western blotting.Results (1) The plasma α-klotho levels decreased in ORG patients,CKD patients and abdominal obesity control people compared with normal control people [(251.7 ± 124.1) ng/L,(336.3 ± 126.1) ng/L,(377.1 ± 120.4) ng/L vs (472.3 ± 204.2)ng/L,all P ＜ 0.05].The ORG patients had the lowest plasma α-klotho levels (P ＜ 0.05).(2) ORG patients also had the lowest urine α-klotho levels compared with CKD patients,abdominal obesity and normal control people [(24.7±11.4) mg/mol vs (82.5±33.8) mg/mol,(74.5±32.5) mg/mol,(100.8±51.1)mg/mol,all P ＜ 0.05].There was no difference in urine α-klotho levels of CKD patients,abdominal obesity and normal control people.(3) Compared with the normal control mouse,ORG model mouse showed decreased mRNA and protein expression of α-klotho protein in renal tissue.Conclusion The lower plasma and urine α-klotho levels in ORG patients may be due to the reduced expression of α -klotho protein in kidney.
