Abstract

Epigenetic regulation plays a major role in uremic toxin-induced chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression. The KLOTHO protein is a key modulator of homeostasis in renal function. Uremic toxin accumulation can induce DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) protein expression, which is involved in the silencing of KLOTHO through hypermethylation. Treatment with DNMT inhibitors can induce a hypermethylated status of KLOTHO and suppress mRNA and protein expression. Epigenetic targeting of specific genes may become an effective strategy to prevent progression of uremia-related CKD.
