Potential influence of Klotho on adipocyte development. Adipocytes develop from MSCs through two stages of maturation. WNT and δFosB are involved in the differentiation of MSCs to adipoblasts, whereas PPAR-γ drives differentiation of preadipocytes to adipocytes. Klotho could potentially influence both the adipogenic lineage commitment of MSCs and adipocytic maturation, but these roles remain to be confirmed experimentally. Abbreviation: MSC, mesenchymal stem cell.
