Shared phenotypes among segmental progeroid syndromes suggest underlying pathways of aging.
Segmental progeroid syndromes are those whose phenotypes resemble accelerated aging. Here we analyze those phenotypes and hypothesize that short telomeres produce the same group of symptoms in a variety of otherwise unrelated progeroid syndromes. Specific findings are the following: (a) short telomeres in some progeroid syndromes cause an alopecia/osteoporosis/fingernail-atrophy group of sympto...
متن کاملProgeroid syndromes: probing the molecular basis of aging?
A valid method of studying age related degenerative pathologies is to study human genetic diseases that appear to accelerate many, though not necessarily all, features of the aging process. Such diseases are described as progeroid syndromes because of their possible relevance to many aspects of aging and age related disease. This article describes the recent progress made at the cellular and mo...
متن کاملAltered Nuclear Functions in Progeroid Syndromes: a Paradigm for Aging Research
Syndromes of accelerated aging could provide an entry point for identifying and dissecting the cellular pathways that are involved in the development of age-related pathologies in the general population. However, their usefulness for aging research has been controversial, as it has been argued that these diseases do not faithfully reflect the process of natural aging. Here we review recent find...
متن کاملShared signaling pathways among gasotransmitters.
G asotransmitters, including NO, CO, and H2S, are a group of endogenously produced gas molecules that are membranepermeable and share similar molecular targets (1). Gasotransmitters may antagonize or potentiate each other’s cellular effects at three levels: their production, their downstream molecular targets, and the direct chemical interaction among themselves. The study published in PNAS by ...
متن کاملGenetic Modulation of Senescent Phenotypes in Homo sapiens
Single-gene mutations can produce human progeroid syndromes--phenotypes that mimic usual or "normative" aging. These can be divided into two classes--those that have their impacts upon multiple organs and tissues (segmental progeroid syndromes) and those that have their major impacts upon a single organ or tissue (unimodal progeroid syndromes). The prototypic example of the former is the Werner...
