Serum soluble Klotho is inversely related to coronary artery calcification assessed by intravascular ultrasound in patients with stable coronary artery disease.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Although the Klotho gene is recognized as an aging-suppressor gene, the clinical significance of its soluble product, soluble Klotho, in coronary artery disease (CAD) has not been completely determined. The relationship between soluble Klotho and coronary artery calcification (CAC) was investigated in patients with stable CAD. METHODS:CAC in culprit lesions was analyzed in 75 non-dialysis patients with stable CAD who were scheduled for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) following intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). The main outcome measure was the calcium index (CalcIndex), a volumetric IVUS-derived measure of total calcification per culprit lesion. A low CalcIndex was defined as a first-quartile calcium index (<0.042). Patients were divided into two groups according to the median serum Klotho value: low Klotho (n = 37, ≤460 pg/mL) and high Klotho (n = 38, >460 pg/mL). RESULTS:The CalcIndex was significantly lower in patients with high than with low Klotho. Patients with high Klotho had a significantly higher prevalence of a low CalcIndex than those with low Klotho. The number of angiographic moderate-severe CACs in whole coronary arteries was significantly decreased in patients with high Klotho compared to low Klotho. Serum Klotho levels correlated significantly and inversely with the CalcIndex. This relationship was pronounced in patients with estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Logistic regression analysis showed that high Klotho was associated with a low CalcIndex independent of classical coronary risk factors and markers of mineral metabolism. CONCLUSIONS:High serum soluble Klotho levels are associated with a low degree of CAC in non-dialysis, stable CAD patients treated by PCI.
