| Core Tip |
In diabetic Patients, serum levels of Klotho (Kl) are significantly decreased compared to healthy subjects. Moreover, serum Kl levels are negatively correlated with worsening of diabetic retinopathy (DR). Several evidence suggests that retina homeostasis may be affected by altered expression of membrane Kl, as well by reduced levels of soluble Kl. In this review we focused on the role of Kl in DR, highlighting the importance of Kl in maintaining retinal homeostasis and its positive effects on several mechanisms involved in DR onset and progression. Therefore, Kl could be a novel biomarker and a good candidate for the treatment of DR. |
