Age-Related Lipid Metabolic Signature in HumanLMNA-Lipodystrophic Stem Cell-Derived Adipocytes
2015
Lamin A (LMNA)-linked lipodystrophies belong to a group of clinical disorders characterized by a redistribution of adipose tissue with a variable range of metabolic complications. The leading cause of these disorders is the nonphysiological accumulation of the lamin A precursor, prelamin A. However, the molecular mechanisms by which prelamin A induces the pathology remain unclear.The aim of this study is to use an experimental LMNA-lipodystrophy model based on human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC)-derived adipocytes that accumulate prelamin A to gain deeper insights into the mechanisms governing these diseases.Prelamin A-induced or -noninduced hMSC-derived adipocytes were obtained from healthy…

Abstract Lamin A (LMNA)-linked lipodystrophies may be either genetic (associated with LMNA mutations) or acquired (associated with the use of human immunodeficiency virus protease inhibitors [PIs]), and in both cases they share clinical features such as anomalous distribution of body fat or generalized loss of adipose tissue, metabolic alterations, and early cardiovascular complications. Both LMNA-linked lipodystrophies are characterized by the accumulation of the lamin A precursor prelamin A. The pathological mechanism by which prelamin A accumulation induces the lipodystrophy associated phenotypes remains unclear. Since the affected tissues in these disorders are of mesenchymal origin, we…
