Progeria syndromes and ageing: what is the connection?

Burtner, Christopher R., Kennedy, Brian K.·2010·Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology

Abstract

One of the many debated topics in ageing research is whether progeroid syndromes are really accelerated forms of human ageing. The answer requires a better understanding of the normal ageing process and the molecular pathology underlying these rare diseases. Exciting recent findings regarding a severe human progeria, Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, have implicated molecular changes that are also linked to normal ageing, such as genome instability, telomere attrition, premature senescence and defective stem cell homeostasis in disease development. These observations, coupled with genetic studies of longevity, lead to a hypothesis whereby progeria syndromes accelerate a subset of the pathological changes that together drive the normal ageing process.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • HGPS fibroblasts present biomarkers of aging and senescence.

    “To determine if sEV-Ys within the CM had the potential to ameliorate biomarkers of aging, we took advantage of primary fibroblasts derived from patients with a severe form of premature aging, HGPS, which present biomarkers of aging and senescence (Figure S2A) (Burtner and Kennedy, 2010, Ocampo et al., 2016, Liu et al., 2011).”
  • The segmental nature of each progeroid disease may be partially explained by differences in the specific DNA damage repair strategies used by each tissue and cell type.

    “The segmental nature of each disease may be partially explained by differences in the specific DNA damage repair strategies used by each tissue and cell type186.”
  • Most progeroid syndromes are associated with an increased burden of DNA damage that may directly affect the tissue stem cell compartment.

    “studies indicate that, like chronologic aging, most progeroid syndromes are associated with an increased burden of DNA damage that may directly affect the tissue stem cell compartment186.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
