Abstract:
Klotho gene is a new gene found in the 20 century,which has a anti-aging function.Researchers people find that its expression in some tumors is down-regulated,such as in gastric cancer,lung cancer,breast cancer,cervical cancer,skin cancer,bladder cancer,colon cancer and so on.The ability of tumor' s replication and invasion could be inhibited through increasing the expression of Klotho gene,even be trended to apoptosis.So that the Klotho gene may be a new gene which has a anti-tumor function.
