Diploid human fibroblasts accumulate heat labile enzymes during the final stages of their life-span in culture. The RNA base analogue 5-FU induces premature senescence, which is preceded by the appearance of altered enzyme. These observations support Orgel's "error catastrophe" theory of ageing.
二倍体人类成纤维细胞在培养的寿命末期积累热不稳定酶。RNA碱基类似物5-氟尿嘧啶会诱导早衰,早衰之前会出现酶的改变。这些观察结果支持了奥格尔的衰老“错误灾难”理论。
