The study aims to investigate how lamin A/C deficiency affects nuclear mechanics and mechanotransduction in fibroblasts.
Utilized lamin A/C–deficient mouse embryo fibroblasts (Lmna–/–) subjected to mechanical strain.
Measured nuclear deformation and signaling responses under mechanical stress.
Assessed transcriptional activation of NF-κB in response to mechanical and cytokine stimulation.
Lmna–/– cells showed increased nuclear deformation under mechanical strain.
Impaired viability was observed in Lmna–/– cells when subjected to mechanical stress.
Gene transcription regulated by NF-κB was attenuated despite increased transcription factor binding in Lmna–/– cells.
