Reprogramming Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome fibroblasts resets epigenomic landscape in patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells [Affymetrix]
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) is a segmental premature aging disorder caused by the accumulation of the truncated form of Lamin A known as Progerin within the nuclear lamina. Cellular hallmarks of HGPS include nuclear blebbing, loss of peripheral heterochromatin, defective epigenetic inheritance, altered gene expression, and senescence. To model HGPS using iPSCs, detailed genome-wide and structural analysis of the epigenetic landscape is required to assess the initiation and progression of the disease. We generated a library of iPSC lines from fibroblasts of HGPS patients and controls, including one family trio. Our microarray results suggest that despite the presence of defects associated with Progerin in the nuclear lamina including structural defects, senescence and abnormal epigenetic marks, HGPS fibroblasts can be reprogrammed into iPSCs with transcriptomes that are essentially identical to control iPSCs and hESCs.
