Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Lymphocyte proliferation and nucleoid sedimentation were studied in a patient with premature aging resembling the Werner's syndrome (WS). Onset of patchy brown hyperpigmentations at the age of 9 months permitted distinction from classical WS and suggested a WS-like premature aging disease. By photometric recording of density changes during cell culture, we examined the course of cell proliferation after PHA stimulation over 7 days and compared these results to those obtained in two normal controls. Cultured cells of the patient displayed an aberrant proliferation pattern characterized by continuous growth without an initial reduction phase. The markedly reduced proliferative capacity of purified cells from the patient could in part be corrected by fetal bovine serum. The cells of the patient displayed a characteristic nucleoid sedimentation profile after ultraviolet irradiation indicating retarded DNA replication, which may be a common feature of various premature aging diseases. The absence of thermolability of cell proliferation and the presence of a high number of chromatid aberrations disclosed differences from classical WS.
