RON DEPINHO<br \/>\nThe issue of how telomeres relate to age related manifestations in the organism relates in part to the fact that telomeres are important for cell division.<br \/>\nThe ability to maintain organs, such as the skin or hair as a function of age require constant renewal, having short telomeres and diminished proliferative capacity would adversely affect those processes, so would lead to things like balding for example.<\/p>\n<p>05:26<\/p>\n<p>BEELD:<br \/>\nMICRO-INJECTION STATION; CELDELING; ANIMATIE TELOMEREN.<\/p>\n<p>COMMENTAAR<br \/>\nVerkorting van telomeren, wat hetzelfde is als veroudering, blijkt vreemd genoeg een omkeerbaar proces te zijn. Zo begint ieder embryo met telomeren van volledige lengte. Blijkbaar zijn deze telomeren in de geslachtscellen van de ouders tot de oorspronkelijke lengte teruggebracht.<br \/>\nGeslachtscellen zijn hiertoe in staat dankzij een speciaal enzym: telomerase.<br \/>\nDoor genetische manipulatie heeft DePinho het telomerase uit weten te schakelen waardoor de muizen binnen enkele generaties te kampen kregen met korte telomeren.<\/p>\n<p>DR. RON DEPINHO:<br \/>\nThese are genetically engineered mice and we have here a mouse that is of similar age, that does not show these signs of aging. It does not have any hair greying and it has full coat of hair and as you can see it&#8217;s larger and healthier than mice that are genetically engineered.<br \/>\nIt tells us that the genetical manipulation that we have caused in these mice have predisposed these mice to some signs and symptoms of aging. Not all of them, but a subset of them.<\/p>\n<p>07:03<\/p>\n<p>STADSBEELD NEW YORK<\/p>\n<p>COMMENTAAR<br \/>\nAan de Rockefeller University in New York werkt de van oorsprong Nederlandse celbiologe Titia de Lange. Zij ziet duidelijke paralellen tussen Ron DePinho&#8217;s experiment met muizen en de ouderdomsverschijnselen bij mensen.<\/p>\n<p>PROF. TITIA DE LANGE<br \/>\nCELBIOLOGE ROCKEFELLER UNIVERSITY, N.Y.<br \/>\nRon&#8217;s experiment is absolutely striking, it&#8217;s a spectacular experiment. And the result is visually striking because this mouse goes bold, it has a bold patch and it looks rather like some of my friends. There&#8217;s a region of the mouse where there&#8217;s no longer any hair. And it&#8217;s really a striking example of how you can create mouse model systems that really faithfully recapitulate certain aspects of human biology.<br \/>\nSo what does it really tell us?<br \/>\nThe mouse has shortening telomeres and it goes bold. Well, it tells you that in a whole organism, this view of that the shortening of telomeres can limit the lifespan of cells actually turns out to be true. Because the boldness most likely is due to some depletion, some loss of cells that normally create hair and the mouse is no longer able to do that.<br \/>\nNow let&#8217;s turn it around and ask: my friends who are slightly bold, are they bold because their telomeres have run out on their head. And a lot of people jump to that conclusion. One of my colleges here at the university immediately came over and wanted me to inject his head with telomerase. That&#8217;s a hard conclusion to draw, because the systems are different and male balding is a different phenomenon than hair loss in a mouse and so it&#8217;s not immediately clear that human hair loss is due to telomere shortening but it&#8217;s a really good possibility.<\/p>\n<p>09:13<\/p>\n<p>BEELDEN LABORATORIUM<\/p>\n<p>COMMENTAAR:<br \/>\nEr is een samenhang geconstateerd tussen korte telomeren en ouderdom. Maar zijn korte telomeren ook de oorzaak van ouderdom? Of slechts een gevolg? Deze vraag heeft lange tijd het wetenschappelijk debat over telomeren bepaald. Tot in 1997 een experiment aan de South Western University in Texas degenen die het proces van telomeerverkorting als oorzaak van veroudering zagen, gelijk leek te geven.<\/p>\n<p>PROF. TITIA DE LANGE:<br \/>\nWhat really changed the field and really and ended this whole debate whether telomeres shortening could be causal in aging was an experiment in which people reversed this process and that experiment was made possible through the isolation of an enzyme that can add telomeres back to chromosome ends. Once that enzyme was isolated, the gene that encodes the enzyme was cloned, was made in large amounts and could be used to then put the gene back into these cells and the cells then would express that enzyme and actually now no longer have shortening telomeres, but keep their telomeres in tact. And those cells when grown for two months didn&#8217;t stop dividing.. And in fact, this experiment was done two years ago and the cells are still growing. They&#8217;re in California and they&#8217;re still turning and turning. And they behave as immortal cells.<\/p>\n<p>10:42<\/p>\n<p>BEELD: LAB. TEXAS<br \/>\nNERVEUS MUZIEKJE<\/p>\n<p>COMMENTAAR<br \/>\nHet spraakmakende experiment dat gewone cellen het eeuwige leven wist te geven werd uitgevoerd door de celbiologen Woody Wright en Jerry Shay.<\/p>\n<p>PROF. JERRY SHAY<br \/>\nSOUTH WESTERN UNIVERSITY, TEXAS I can remember very clearly when we saw the first research experiment that indicated that simply introducing telomerase in the normal cells turned on the enzyme telomerase. It was interesting, because I was looking at it with two of the postdoctoral research fellows in the laboratory. And when I saw that jar, I said: you guys remember this because this is the first evidence that a single protein, a single gene could actually turn on this whole enzyme complex. And at that point we didn&#8217;t really know that it would extend the lifespan. It was several months later that we actually found that out. But it was very very exciting time for me.<\/p>\n<p>11:32<\/p>\n<p>PROF. TITIA DE LANGE:<br \/>\nWhat Jerry Shay and Woody Wright did was reintroduce telomerase in cells in the lab and these cells are really truly immortal. And this has now been done with a large variety of different cell types and in some cases it seems that some other genetic changes are required to immortalise the cells, but for quite a considerable number of cells, telomerase activation seems indeed to be sufficient to immortalise the cells. So extrapolating from that to the human body -and there is no reason we could not extrapolate from that, because the cells these people work with were cells taken directly from the human body- it should be possible to create the same situation in people. Introduce telomerase and make a patch of cells somewhere in your face that keep growing for ever, won&#8217;t senescence.<\/p>\n<p>12:28<\/p>\n<p>BEJAARDE BOKSERS IN TRAINING<\/p>\n<p>COMMENTAAR:<br \/>\nTelomerase als verjongingsmiddel. Zou daar nou belangstelling voor bestaan?<\/p>\n<p>PIET VAN KLAVEREN (69):<br \/>\nHet zou dom zijn als ik neen zou zeggen natuurlijk.Als er een bepaald midel uitgevonden wordt als verjongingskuur, daar stap ik absoluut in natuurlijk.<\/p>\n<p>DICK VRIENS (61):<br \/>\nDaar zou ik totaal niet in geloven. Ik zou ook daar geen preparaten voor innemen.<\/p>\n<p>WIM VAN KLAVEREN (69):<br \/>\nDat zou prachtig zijn als die chromosoomverderlingen als je die wat jonger zou krijgen dan schreidt de ouderdom ook achteruit.<\/p>\n<p>GERARD VAN MEEL (66):<br \/>\nJa dat ligt er een beetje aan, daar zullen dus ook wel andere kanten aanzitten aan zo&#8217;n verjongingskuur, neem ik aan. Dan denk ik dat goed zou moeten weten allemaal voordat ik daartoe zou overgaan.<\/p>\n<p>13:30<\/p>\n<p>PROF. TITIA DE LANGE:<br \/>\nWell, I must tell you that it&#8217;s striking to me the number of people that are really interested in having this done. I actually get emails from people who volunteer to come to my lab and function as some sort of experimental guinea pig and I would then do telomerase therapy to them. And there is a fairly strong commercial endeavour on going to elaborate on these plans and to try to really create a situation where some population of cells were taken out of the body, their telomeres elongated, telomerase restored in the cells and to put back in.<\/p>\n<p>14:12<\/p>\n<p>BOKSER MET BOKSBAL<\/p>\n<p>PROF. TITIA DE LANGE:<br \/>\nSo the worry with this kind of approach would be that you make cells that inappropriately grow and the reason why this is a real worry is that we&#8217;ve known now for about ten years that there is a specific cell type that has done that. It has done exactly that experiment. It has been able to activate telomerase, and has been able to achieve inappropriate extended growth or immortalisation in human bodies and that type of cell is the cancer cell. So we now know that almost human tumours have found a way around this telomere problem.<\/p>\n<p>15:01<\/p>\n<p>MICROSCOOP: GROEI KANKERCELLEN<\/p>\n<p>PROF. TITIA DE LANGE:<br \/>\nAnd so when you think about this, nature is actually telling us something, tumours -almost all human tumours- activate telomerase, and so what we would be doing if you take cells from the human body and activate telomerase in those cells, you really would be doing something that cancer cells do and so it&#8217;s possible that you would actually promote tumour genesis and increase the frequency of cancer occurrence in people by introducing telomerase.<\/p>\n<p>STADSBEELDEN BOSTON<\/p>\n<p>15:39<\/p>\n<p>COMMENTAAR:<br \/>\nIn Boston werkt Ron DePinho aan het Dana Farber Cancer Institute. Ook hij is zich bewust van de relatie tussen telomerase en kanker. Maar volgens hem biedt die link juist een veelbelovend perspectief voor de kankerbestrijding.<\/p>\n<p>DR. RON DEPINHO:<br \/>\nThe idea is that if you can turn off telomerase in a cancer cell, that that would then lead to shortening of telomeres, genetic chaos and catastrophe and ultimately that cell would not survive because it&#8217;s genetic information would not be stable and the cancer cell would die. This is why there is a significant amount of interest and excitement in trying to design therapeutic agents that would inhibit telomerase in cancer.<br \/>\nAnd those activities, although not yet fully mature, are almost certainly going to lead to excellent compounds that will inhibit telomerase. And such agents would be expected to have a very potent impact on cancer cell growth.<\/p>\n<p>16:51<\/p>\n<p>COMMENTAAR:<br \/>\nTelomerase als doelwit van kankerbestrijding zou dus kunnen leiden tot een nieuwe klasse van chemotherapie. Hoe re\u00ebel is die verwachting?<\/p>\n<p>PROF. TITIA DE LANGE<br \/>\nIt sounds like a fairly good target and I think, as always is the case, one really doesn&#8217;t know how an inhibitor is going to work in he clinic until one actually puts it in people. I think we&#8217;ll see that happening within the next few years. And I&#8217;m optimistic and I hope that a good drug will come out of the telomerase research that will help people treat many cancer, maybe not all but many cancers in an improved manner.<\/p>\n<p>17:40<\/p>\n<p>COMMENTAAR:<br \/>\nTitia de Lange zelf heeft fundamenteel onderzoek gedaan naar telomeren. Ze wilde begrijpen waarom en hoe telomeren zo&#8217;n belangrijke rol spelen bij veroudering en kanker.<br \/>\nOnder de microscoop worden telomeren zichtbaar als oplichtende puntjes. Wanneer telomeren te klein worden, sterft de cel. Dit leek een algemeen geaccepteerd gegeven, maar Titia wilde begrijpen waarom.<br \/>\nAfgelopen voorjaar werd haar zoeken beloond.<\/p>\n<p>PROF. TITIA DE LANGE<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s now become clear what is going on. In our body, every single cell that we have, has a very vigilant mechanism to look for broken DNA. This is very important. As we sit here, we&#8217;re getting radiated from outer space and our DNA is broken all the time and it doesn&#8217;t really harm us too much, unless we fry ourselves in the sun, because there are enzymes that see these breaks, that find the broken DNA and then fix it. And if they can&#8217;t fix it, the cell is wired such that it dies.<br \/>\nAnd if you think about that, that&#8217;s really a problem: because, as you know, our genetic material is not just one long piece of DNA, but it&#8217;s organised on seperate chromosome. And each chromosome has a piece of DNA in it, our body, our cells are carefully looking for broken DNA all the time and so, why are they not panicked constantly by the fact the that are so many DNA ends in our cells that are just the natural ends of our chromosomes?<br \/>\nWhy do the cells not pay attention to that DNA, why do they ignore that. So I thought well maybe what&#8217;s the case is that this DNA is not just sitting there as DNA, but there are proteins that recognise that boring sequence that go and sit over it and form a big complex and sort of cap the chromosome end. And now the cell can&#8217;t see that there is an end of the DNA because there is sort of a little cap right over it.<br \/>\nNow that was my working hypothesis, and I worked with that hypothesis in mind for the last ten years. And I was completely wrong. It&#8217;s one of the greatest things in science that it&#8217;s wonderfull when you&#8217;re wrong. So, what we did is we isolated these proteins and lo and behold they were there and they were very interesting proteins. And in fact if we took them off the telomeres, cells were: oooh! chromosome ends and died immediately. So it looked like we were right. And we were fairly pleased with ourselves, &#8217;cause we had this working hypothesis and got the proteins and it all turned out to be right. But we were so wrong. The whole solution to the problem is very different. What these proteins do is they take the telomeric DNA, the special sequence DNA, take the end of the chromosome and tuck it back in. Very similar to just sticking your hand in your pocket, that&#8217;s what the proteins do.<br \/>\nThe cells have very simple solutions to this telomere problem. This is a chromosome and it&#8217;s very long. This chromosome stretches out way across the water there way to the your airport where you&#8217;re leaving from etcetera, etcetera. But at the very end of the chromosome, the DNA rather than just sticking out, you can see forms a large loop. This is what we call a T-loop, for a telomere loop. And the deal is that the proteins that we&#8217;ve been working with for so long, don&#8217;t really cap over the end, but they execute this looping job. They take the telomeric DNA, move it back and tuck the end back into the chromosome. And now it&#8217;s very obvious, of course the cells don&#8217;t see that their chromosome ends, because there really are no chromosome ends. Our chromosome don&#8217;t end in anything. They loop back and hide their ends very effectively inside of the rest of the chromosome.<br \/>\nSo what does that really tell us about this whole aging and cancer story. Now, you can now understand why cancer cells are so carefull to activate telomerase. Because they need to maintain they nice little loops at their chromosome ends. If they don&#8217;t have those loops, the cells will see the chromosome ends as broken DNA and they will die. So the cancer cells MUST maintain these loops. And similarly you can understand, or imagine at least, how in our aging cells the cells may notice that the telomeres are gone. Because as the telomeres shortens, the loop will get smaller and smaller, but in the end this piece of DNA will be so tiny that, even though my proteins are very good at making these loops, can no longer do this and then the thing floops out and the cells will realise that they will have ends to their chromosomes, and they will react to the ends as if it is broken DNA. And we know that the way cells react to broken DNA is just like an aging cell: it either dies or it stops dividing just sits and it&#8217;s just like what happens in the aging cells in our body.<\/p>\n<p>23:18<\/p>\n<p>WIM EN PIET VAN KLAVEREN:<br \/>\nW: Dan maar gezond ouder worden.<br \/>\nP: Ja, hoe realiseer je dat?<br \/>\nW: Ja, gezond ouder worden.
