We previously demonstrated that miR-351-5p regulates nuclear scaffold lamin B1 expression and mediates the anticancer floxuridine-induced necrosis shift to apoptosis in mammalian tumor cells. Notably, it is unknown whether lamin B1 mRNA is a direct target of miR-351-5p. Here, we show that miR-351-5p interacts with a lamin B1 mRNA partial sequence by using the cell-free miRNA and mRNA binding evaluation system. In addition, the interaction of miR-351-5p/lamin B1 mRNA was suppressed by an miR-351-5p inhibitor. Our findings are important in exploring the functions of miRNAs in cellular processes, including cell death.

Choroidal involution is a common feature of age-related ischemic retinopathies such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It is now well recognized that endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are essential to endothelial repair processes and in maintaining vascular integrity. However, the contribution of EPCs and the role of senescence in age-related choroidal vascular degeneration remain to be investigated.

Lamins play a crucial role in maintaining nuclear structure and function. Our study investigates the expression patterns and clinical implications of B-type lamins with a special focus on lamin B2 across various cancer types using comprehensive RNA sequencing datasets. We found that high expression levels of lamin B1 and lamin B2 are associated with decreased overall and disease-free survival in cancer.

Article Synopsis
- Werner syndrome is linked to mutations in the WRN helicase, which plays a critical role in DNA functions and is associated with premature aging.
- WRN deficiency leads to abnormal levels of constitutive heterochromatin in human fibroblasts, specifically disrupting SATII pericentromeric satellite repeats and affecting protein interactions that organize heterochromatin.
- The study concludes that while WRN loss alters heterochromatin organization independent of senescence, it shares characteristics with changes seen during the aging process.

Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a rare premature aging disorder in children caused by a point mutation in the lamin A gene, resulting in a toxic form of lamin A called progerin. Accelerated atherosclerosis leading to heart attack and stroke are the major causes of death in these patients. Endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction contributes to the pathogenesis of HGPS related cardiovascular diseases (CVD).

Article Synopsis
- Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) is caused by a mutation leading to the production of a lamin variant called progerin, associated with premature aging.
- Research using RNA-seq data from non-HGPS patients revealed that progerin is expressed in all tissue types and is linked to telomere shortening, particularly in skin cells.
- The study indicates that progerin expression may influence changes in gene splicing patterns and mitochondrial function, highlighting its potential role in age-related cellular processes.
