ABSTRACT
Hypertension often occurs in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Considering the decrease in serum Klotho and increase in serum FGF23 levels in such patients, decreased Klotho and increased FGF23 levels were thought to be associated with hypertension. Presympathetic neurons at the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) contribute to sympathetic activity and regulation of blood pressure. Therefore, we hypothesized that Klotho would reduce the activities of RVLM neurons and FGF23 would stimulate them. Accordingly, this study examined the effects of Klotho and FGF23 on bulbospinal neurons in the RVLM. We used a brainstem-spinal cord preparation to record from RVLM presympathetic neurons and to evaluate the effects of Klotho and FGF23 on firing rate and membrane potentials of these neurons. Our results showed that Klotho-induced RVLM neuron hyperpolarization, while ouabain, a Na+/K+-ATPase inhibitor, suppressed the effects of Klotho on such neurons. Moreover, FGF23 induced RVLM neuron depolarization, while SU5402, an FGF23 receptor (FGFR1) antagonist, induced RVLM neuron hyperpolarization. Histological examinations revealed that Klotho, Na+/K+-ATPase, FGF23, and FGFR1 were present in RVLM neurons and that Klotho was localized in the same neurons as FGFR1. These results suggest that Klotho and FG23 regulate the activity of RVLM neurons. Klotho may reduce the activity of RVLM neurons via stimulating Na+/K+-ATPase on those neurons while FGF23 may activate those neurons via FGFR1.
