    A: Western blot showing levels of dyskerin, NHP2 and NAF1 proteins in the iPS cells. All mutant cells show slightly decreased level of dyskerin protein compared to WT cells. Note that A353V iPS cells show decreased level of NHP2 while ΔL37 and Q31E cells don’t. The quantitive data, derived by densitometry, are shown. B: Real-time RT/PCR of RNA from iPS cells from DC patients and healthy controls. ΔL37 and Q31E mutant <t>DKC1</t> iPS cells express same amount of DKC1 mRNA as WT iPS cells, but A353V mutant iPS cells show a slightly decreased level of DKC1 mRNA. GAPDH was used at loading control. The combined results of 4 independent experiments are shown, the error bars show standard deviation. C: Real-Time RT/PCR of TERC RNA (left) and TERT mRNA (right) in iPS cells. GAPDH was used at loading control. The combined results of 3 independent experiments are shown, the error bars show standard deviation. * p<0.01 between WT cells and different mutant cells, respectively. D: Telomerase activity assay of ΔL37 (left) and A353V (right) iPS cells compared to WT cells by using TRAP assay. 2×10 6 cells were extracted by using CHAPS lysis buffer and serial dilutions (50ng, 10ng, 2ng and 0.4ng) of each sample were assayed. IC: internal control, HI: heat inactivation. The quantitive data, derived by densitometry, are shown.

The quantitive data, derived by densitometry, are shown. D: The TRAP assay was performed to measure the telomerase activity after expressing the WT DKC1 gene in A353V and ΔL37 iPS cells, uncorrected and corrected by ectopic expression of WT DKC1 (DKC1-C) . The quantitive data, derived by densitometry, are shown E: Telomere lengths of DKC1 corrected iPS cells were measured by using in-gel hybridization with a telomere probe (TTAGGG) 3 . DKC1-C indicates corrected iPS cells expressing WT DKC1 gene.

B: Western blot result of dyskerin protein in HEK293T cells showing doxycycline inducible DKC1 shRNA can reduce the dyskerin level to about 10–20%. shGFP was used as a control. C: Telomerase activity of HEK293T cells after knocking down of dyskerin protein from B was measured by TRAP assay. The quantitive data, derived by densitometry, are shown.
