Exonic sequencing identified a family with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) containing a previously unreported heterozygous mutation in POT1 p.(L259S). The family displays short telomeres and genetic anticipation. We found that POT1(L259S) is defective in binding the telomeric overhang, nuclear accumulation, negative regulation of telomerase, and lagging strand maintenance. Patient cells containing the mutation display telomere loss, lagging strand defects, telomere-induced DNA damage, and premature senescence with G1 arrest. Our data suggest POT1(L259S) is a pathogenic driver of IPF and provide insights into gene therapy options.
外显子测序鉴定了一个特发性肺纤维化(IPF)家系,该家系携带 POT1 基因 p.(L259S) 杂合突变,该突变为先前未报道过。该家系表现为端粒短和遗传早现。我们发现 POT1(L259S)在结合端粒突出、核内积累、端粒酶负调控和滞后链维持方面存在缺陷。携带该突变的患者细胞表现出端粒丢失、滞后链缺陷、端粒诱导的 DNA 损伤以及 G1 期阻滞的过早衰老。我们的数据表明 POT1(L259S)是 IPF 的致病性驱动因子,并为基因治疗提供了思路。
