Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a rare genetic disease that causes premature aging symptoms, such as vascular diseases, lipodystrophy, loss of bone mineral density, and alopecia. HGPS is mostly linked to a heterozygous and de novo mutation

Transmembrane Protein PTCHD4 Is a Novel Regulator of Cellular Senescence and Age‐Related Pathologies
PTCHD4 is induced by aging‐ and injury‐associated stresses and acts as a senescence‐associated transmembrane regulator. Through AKT activation, PTCHD4 promotes cellular senescence, SASP, functional decline, and pulmonary fibrosis, whereas PTCHD4 deficiency dampens AKT signaling and alleviates senescence‐associated pathological phenotypes.

Vascular smooth muscle cell loss underpins the accelerated atherosclerosis in Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome [PDF]
Lamin A, a product of the LMNA gene, is an essential nuclear envelope component in most differentiated cells. Mutations in LMNA have been linked to premature aging disorders, including Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS).

Proteostasis of organelles in aging and disease
Cells rely on regulated proteostasis mechanisms to keep their internal compartments functioning properly. When these mechanisms fail, damaged proteins accumulate, disrupting organelles, such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi, and lysosomes, as well as membraneless organelles, such as stress granules, processing bodies, the ...

Skeletal muscle aging is associated with a decrease in expression of the lactate receptor GPR81. Treating senescent myoblasts in vitro and progeric mice in vivo with GPR81 agonist decreases intramyocellular lipid accumulation and reverses hallmarks of aging. ABSTRACT Skeletal muscle aging is associated with increased lipid accumulation, or myosteatosis,

Progeroid Syndrome and Mutation in LMNA Gene: Report of Two Cases from Iran [PDF]
Two Iranian cases with very rare progeroid syndrome are reported. The first is a 24-year-old girl who has been healthy till her 13th birthday. From that time she has been suffering from a progressive generalized and multi-systemic illness.

The telomeric protein AKTIP interacts with A- and B-type lamins and is involved in regulation of cellular senescence [PDF]
AKTIP is a shelterin-interacting protein required for replication of telomeric DNA. Here, we show that AKTIP biochemically interacts with A- and B-type lamins and affects lamin A, but not lamin C or B, expression.

Emerin (EMD) and barrier to autointegration factor 1 (BANF1) each bind A-type lamins (LMNA) as fundamental components of nuclear lamina structure. Mutations in LMNA, EMD and BANF1 are genetically linked to many tissue-specific disorders including Emery ...
