Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a rare premature aging disorder. Children suffering from HGPS develop numerous clinical features, including atherosclerosis, arthritis, hair loss and lipodystrophy. Using a text-mining approach, we found a total of 17 genes associated with all four pathologies, 14 of which were linked to the JAK1/2-STAT1/3 signaling pathway. The inhibition of this pathway with baricitinib restored cellular homeostasis, delayed senescence and decreased proinflammatory markers in HGPS cells.
