Abstract | Aging is a common risk factor in neurodegenerative disorders and the ability to investigate aging of neurons in an isogenic background would facilitate discovering the interplay between neuronal aging and onset of neurodegeneration. Here, we perform direct neuronal reprogramming of longitudinally collected human fibroblasts to reveal genetic pathways altered at different ages. Comparative transcriptome analysis of longitudinally aged striatal medium spiny neurons (MSNs), a primary neuronal subtype affected in Huntington's disease (HD), identified pathways associated with RCAN1, a negative regulator of calcineurin. Notably, RCAN1 undergoes age-dependent increase at the protein level detected in reprogrammed MSNs as well as in human postmortem striatum. In patient-derived MSNs of adult-onset HD (HD-MSNs), counteracting |
