Confocal fluorescence microscopy with false colour showing the localization of progerin (green) in nuclei (blue) in human myogenic cells. [PDF]
In HGPS fibroblast cultures, progerin positive nuclei are mostly lobulated or trabeculated (A–C). Human myogenic cells transfected with PMOs also demonstrated abnormally shaped progerin reactive nuclei (D–F: transfected with 1 µM PMO 421; G–I: 0.5 µM PMO

Endothelial progerin expression causes cardiovascular pathology through an impaired mechanoresponse
Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a premature aging disorder characterized by accelerated cardiovascular disease with extensive fibrosis. It is caused by a mutation in LMNA leading to expression of truncated prelamin A (progerin) in the nucleus.

Alignment of progerin PCR product cDNA confirms alternative splicing in the heart. [PDF]
The sequence of purified progerin PCR cDNA (red letters) was aligned to the genomic sequence of LMNA exon 11 (green) to exon 12 (yellow) with the 3´UTR sequence (blue) showing the expected gap of 150bp between exon 11 to exon 12 confirming alternative ...

Sulforaphane enhances progerin clearance in
SummaryHutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS, OMIM 176670) is a rare multisystem childhood premature aging disorder linked to mutations in the LMNA gene. The most common HGPS mutation is found at position G608G within exon 11 of the LMNA gene. This mutation results in the deletion of 50 amino acids at the carboxyl‐terminal tail of prelamin A, and ...

Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome—Current Status and Prospects for Gene Therapy Treatment
Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is one of the most severe disorders among laminopathies—a heterogeneous group of genetic diseases with a molecular background based on mutations in the LMNA gene and genes coding for interacting proteins.

Presence and distribution of progerin in HGPS cells is ameliorated by drugs that impact on the mevalonate and mTOR pathways [PDF]
© The Author(s) 2019. Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a rare, premature ageing syndrome in children. HGPS is normally caused by a mutation in the LMNA gene, encoding nuclear lamin A.

Progerin, the underlying cause of Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS), has been extensively studied for its impact on normal cells and premature aging patients. However, there is a lack of research on its specific effects on tumor cells. Melanoma is one of the most common malignant tumors with high morbidity and mortality.
