1. A method of increasing expression of a Klotho gene in a cell, the method comprising administering to the cell a nucleic acid that hybridizes to an RNA transcript transcribed from a chromosomal region within or near the Klotho gene, wherein the RNA transcript does not encode a Klotho protein, and wherein the nucleic acid is between about 15 and 50 nucleotides in length and comprises a region of at least 15 nucleotides that is substantially complementary to the RNA transcript.
