CAVD associated with chronic kidney disease is a significant clinical problem. High phosphate upregulates Sox9 through AKT and PKD in human AVICs. Calcified human aortic valves have lower levels of Klotho. Klotho suppresses Sox9 upregulation and intranuclear translocation. Klotho inhibits high phosphate-induced osteogenic activity in human AVICs.
