Familial co-segregation of the elastin phenotype in skin fibroblasts from Hutchinson-Gilford progeria.

Abstract excerpt

Elastin and type IV collagen production are markedly elevated in fibroblasts derived from the skin of patients with Hutchinson-Gilford progeria (HGP). Fibroblasts from three affected children and their parents were compared to normal human skin fibroblasts with respect to elastin production as a function of different concentrations of calf serum and the cytokines, transforming growth factor-beta and basic...
