Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The synthesis of nuclear matrix components from human diploid fibroblasts of different in vitro ages was analyzed. Radiolabeled nuclear matrices were prepared from human diploid fibroblasts at various stages of the cell cycle, and their components were separated by two dimensional electrophoresis. The same general electrophoretic pattern was observed at all cell cycle points analyzed, regardless of in vitro age. However, several of the more than 150 peptides that were observed exhibited some cell cycle or age-related variation in radiolabeling. Ten of these were chosen for further analysis. One peptide, with an approximate molecular weight of 47 kDa and pI of 6.8 exhibited the most significant cell cycle and age-related alterations. In matrices from younger cells, incorporation into this peptide was very low in GO but increased as these cells moved through the cell cycle, with maximum incorporation occurring in S phase. As cells neared the end of their in vitro lifespan, labeling of this peptide was elevated at all stages of the cell cycle. Since many of the functional alterations observed in senescent human diploid fibroblasts are nuclear-matrix-associated activities, these results suggest that the inappropriate expression of nuclear matrix components contribute to the functional changes which characterize in vitro senescence.
