More than 20 mutations in the gene encoding A-type lamins (LMNA) cause progeria,
a rare premature aging disorder. The major pathognomonic hallmarks of progeria
cells are seen as nuclear deformations or blebs that are related to the
redistribution of A- and B-type lamins within the nuclear lamina. However, the
functional significance of these progeria-associated blebs remains unknown. We
have carried out an analysis of the structural and functional consequences of
progeria-associated nuclear blebs in dermal fibroblasts from a progeria patient
carrying a rare point mutation p.S143F (C428T) in lamin A/C. These blebs form
microdomains that are devoid of major structural components of the nuclear
envelope (NE)/lamina including B-type lamins and nuclear pore complexes (NPCs)
and are enriched in A-type lamins. Using laser capture microdissection and
comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) analyses, we show that, while these
domains are devoid of centromeric heterochromatin and gene-poor regions of
chromosomes, they are enriched in gene-rich chromosomal regions. The active form
of RNA polymerase II is also greatly enriched in blebs as well as nascent RNA but
the nuclear co-activator SKIP is significantly reduced in blebs compared to other
transcription factors. Our results suggest that the p.S143F progeria mutation has
a severe impact not only on the structure of the lamina but also on the
organization of interphase chromatin domains and transcription. These structural
defects are likely to contribute to gene expression changes reported in progeria
and other types of laminopathies.
