Abstract

The new anti-aging gene Klotho has been identified as a multi-functional humoral factor which influences multiple biological processes, including tumor progression. Although ample evidence indicates that Klotho plays important roles in cervical, lung and breast cancer, the role and mechanism of Klotho in thyroid cancer are still unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the effects and mechanisms of Klotho in human thyroid cancer cell lines FTC133 and FTC238. Klotho overexpression markedly reduced thyroid cancer FTC133 and FTC238 cell proliferation and enhanced apoptosis, whereas, Klotho silencing in the FTC133 and FTC238 cells increased cell growth. Moreover, soluble human KL1 (sKL) and Klotho overexpression had a similar effect on FTC133 and FTC238 cell growth. A high level of Klotho was also found to be associated with a low level of stanniocalcin 1 (STC1) in both the FTC133 and FTC238 cell lines. STC1 silencing significantly inhibited thyroid cancer cell proliferation, whereas recombinant human STC1 (hSTC1) markedly enhanced cell proliferation. In addition, our study demonstrated that hSTC1 treatment attenuated Klotho-induced inhibition of cell proliferation and promotion of apoptosis. Our data revealed the existence of a moderating effect between Klotho and STC1, where Klotho may inhibit thyroid tumor progression by inhibiting the tumor marker level of STC1.
