Expression of progerin does not result in an increased mutation rate [PDF]

open access: yesChromosome Research, 2017
In the premature ageing disease Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS), the underlying genetic defect in the lamin A gene leads to accumulation at the nuclear lamina of progerin-a mutant form of lamin A that cannot be correctly processed. This has been reported to result in defects in the DNA damage response and in DNA repair, leading to the ...

Epithelial stem cells In Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) and restrictive dermopathy (RD) are two rare genetic disorders that affect children. Complications from cardiovascular disease, including atherosclerosis, are the most common cause of death in HGPS, which ...

UVA-induced upregulation of progerin suppresses 53BP1-mediated NHEJ DSB repair in human keratinocytes via progerin-lamin A complex formation

open access: yesOncology Reports, 2017
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is the primary risk factor underlying photoaging and photocarcinogenesis. Mounting research has focused on the role of DNA damage response pathways in UV-induced double-strand break (DSB) repair. In the present study, we hypothesized that UVA-induced aberrant progerin upregulation may adversely affect p53-binding protein 1 ...

Progerin, an Aberrant Spliced Form of Lamin A, Is a Potential Therapeutic Target for HGPS

open access: yesCells, 2023
Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is an extremely rare genetic disorder caused by the mutant protein progerin, which is expressed by the abnormal splicing of the LMNA gene.

Histopathology of aortic complications in bicuspid aortic valve versus Marfan syndrome: relevance for therapy? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) and patients with Marfan syndrome (MFS) are more prone to develop aortic dilation and dissection compared to persons with a tricuspid aortic valve (TAV).

Decreased vascular smooth muscle contractility in Hutchinson–Gilford Progeria Syndrome linked to defective smooth muscle myosin heavy chain expression

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Children with Hutchinson–Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) suffer from multiple cardiovascular pathologies due to the expression of progerin, a mutant form of the nuclear envelope protein Lamin A.

Vascular disease modeling using induced pluripotent stem cells: Focus in Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Transparency document related to this article can be found online at http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.bbrc.2015.10.014Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) represent today an invaluable tool to create disease cell models for modeling and drug screening ...

Role of progerin-induced telomere dysfunction in HGPS premature cellular senescence [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cell Science, 2010
Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) is a premature-aging syndrome caused by a dominant mutation in the gene encoding lamin A, which leads to an aberrantly spliced and processed protein termed progerin. Previous studies have shown that progerin induces early senescence associated with increased DNA-damage signaling and that telomerase extends ...

Nuclear membrane ruptures underlie the vascular pathology in a mouse model of Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome

open access: yesJCI Insight, 2021
The mutant nuclear lamin protein (progerin) produced in Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) results in loss of arterial smooth muscle cells (SMCs), but the mechanism has been unclear. We found that progerin induces repetitive nuclear membrane (NM)
