Pharmacological evaluation of the 11 prelamin A modulators on HGPS defects. (a) Measure of nuclear shape abnormalities (lamin A/C immunostaining) in HGPS MSCs following 48 h of treatment with each of the 11 prelamin A modulators. Each chart represents the mean±S.D. of 8 independent experiments. (b) Lamin A/C immunostaining of WT and HGPS MSCs following 48 h of treatments with each of the three Mono-APs (Mono-AP1, Mono-AP2 and Mono-AP3). Scale bar represents 50 μm. (c) Measure of osteogenic differentiation (Alkaline phosphatase activity) in HGPS MSCs following 7 days of differentiation in presence of each of the 11 prelamin A modulators. Each chart represents the mean±S.D. of eight independent experiments. Data are normalized on cell number. (d) Alkaline phosphatase activity of WT and HGPS MSCs following 7 days of differentiation in presence of each of the three Mono-APs (Mono-AP1, Mono-AP2 and Mono-AP3). Scale bar represents 50 μm. (e) Measure of cell proliferation (Ki-67 immunostaining) in HGPS MSCs following 48 h of treatments with each of the 11 prelamin A modulators. Each chart represents the mean±S.D. of eight independent experiments. (f) Measure of percent of confluence in long-term culture in presence of Mono-APs (Mono-AP1, Mono-AP2 and Mono-AP3)
