Aims: Oxidative stress caused by aging aggravates neuropathological changes and cognitive deficits. Klotho, an anti-aging protein, shows an anti-oxidative effect. The aims of the present study were to determine the potential therapeutic effect of klotho in aging-related neuropathological changes and memory impairments in senescence-accelerated mouse prone-8 (SAMP8) mice, and identify the potential mechanism of these neuroprotective effects.Materials and methods: A lentivirus was used to deliver and sustain the expression of klotho. The lentiviral vectors were injected into the bilateral lateral ventricles of 7-month-old SAMP8 mice or age-matched SAMR1 mice. Three months later, the Y-maze alternation task and passive avoidance task were used to assess the memory deficits of the mice. In situ hybridization, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, Nissl staining, quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot assays were applied in the following research.Key findings: Our results showed that 3 months after injection of the lentiviral vectors encoding the full-length klotho gene, the expression of klotho in the brain was significantly increased in 10-month-old SAMP8 mice. This treatment reduced memory deficits, neuronal loss, synaptic damage and 4-HNE levels but increased mitochondrial manganese-superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) and catalase (CAT) expression. Moreover, the up-regulation of klotho expression decreased Akt and Forkhead box class O1 (FoxO1) phosphorylation.
