  • The prevalence of arterial stiffness increases with age while the level of the aging-suppressor protein klotho decreases with age. The objective of this study is to assess if haplodeficiency of klotho gene causes arterial stiffness and investigate the underlying mechanism. Pulse wave velocity, a direct measure of arterial stiffness, was increased significantly in klotho heterozygous (klotho+/?) mice vs. their age-matched wild-type (WT) littermates, suggesting that haplodeficiency of klotho causes arterial stiffening. Notably, plasma aldosterone levels were elevated significantly in klotho+/? mice. Treatment with eplerenone (6 mg/kg/day, IP), an aldosterone receptor blocker, abolished klotho deficiency-induced arterial stiffening in klotho+/? mice. Klotho deficiency was associated with increased collagen and decreased elastin contents in the media of aortas. In addition, arterial MMP2, MMP9 and TGF?1 expression and myofibroblast differentiation were increased in klotho+/? mice. These klotho deficiency-related changes can be blocked by eplerenone. Protein expression of scleraxis, a transcription factor for collagen synthesis, and LC3-II/LC3-I, an index of autophagy, were upregulated in aortas of klotho+/? mice, which can be abolished by eplerenone. In cultured mouse aortic smooth muscle cells, aldosterone increased collagen-1 expression which can be completely eliminated by siRNA knockdown of scleraxis. Interestingly, alsosterone decreased elastin levels in smooth muscle cells which can be abolished by siRNA knockdown of Beclin-1, an autophagy-related gene.Conclusion: This study demonstrated for the first time that klotho deficiency-induced arterial stiffening may involve aldosterone-mediated upregulation of scleraxis and induction of autophagy which led to increased collagen-1 expression and decreased elastin levels, respectively.
