Klotho Modulates Pro-Fibrotic Activities in Human Atrial Fibroblasts through Inhibition of Phospholipase C Signaling and Suppression of Store-Operated Calcium Entry
Background: Atrial fibroblasts activation causes atrial fibrosis, which is one major pathophysiological contributor to atrial fibrillation (AF) genesis. Klotho is a pleiotropic protein with remarkable cardiovascular effects, including anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, and anti-apoptotic effects. Th...
