text: Aging is a major risk factor for many human diseases, and in vitro generation
of human neurons is an attractive approach for modeling aging-related brain disorders.
However, modeling aging in differentiated human neurons has proved challenging.
We generated neurons from human donors across a broad range of ages, either by
iPSC-based reprogramming and differentiation or by direct conversion into induced
neurons (iNs). While iPSCs and derived neurons did not retain aging-associated
gene signatures, iNs displayed age-specific transcriptional profiles and revealed
age-associated decreases in the nuclear transport receptor RanBP17. We detected
an age-dependent loss of nucleocytoplasmic compartmentalization (NCC) in donor
fibroblasts and corresponding iNs and found that reduced RanBP17 impaired NCC
in young cells, while iPSC rejuvenation restored NCC in aged cells. These results
show that iNs retain important aging-related signatures, thus allowing modeling
of the aging process in vitro, and they identify impaired NCC as an important
factor in human aging.
