Increased ROS generation and SOD activity in heteroplasmic tissues of transmitochondrial mice with A3243G mitochondrial DNA mutation.
The mitochondrial A3243G tRNALeu(UUR) mutation associated with a variety of mitochondrial disorders results in a severe respiratory deficiency, an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and activities of anti-oxidative enzyme in vitro. However, the phenotypic implications of this mutation have not been described in vivo. Here, mitochondria carrying A3243G transition from the perip...
متن کاملDetection of Heteroplasmic Mitochondrial DNA in Single Mitochondria
BACKGROUND Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genome mutations can lead to energy and respiratory-related disorders like myoclonic epilepsy with ragged red fiber disease (MERRF), mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke (MELAS) syndrome, and Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON). It is not well understood what effect the distribution of mutated mtDNA throughout the mitocho...
متن کاملRapamycin drives selection against a pathogenic heteroplasmic mitochondrial DNA mutation.
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations cause a variety of mitochondrial disorders for which effective treatments are lacking. Emerging data indicate that selective mitochondrial degradation through autophagy (mitophagy) plays a critical role in mitochondrial quality control. Inhibition of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) kinase activity can activate mitophagy. To test the hypothesis that enhan...
متن کاملSingle-cell A3243G mitochondrial DNA mutation load assays for segregation analysis.
Segregation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is an important underlying pathogenic factor in mtDNA mutation accumulation in mitochondrial diseases and aging, but the molecular mechanisms of mtDNA segregation are elusive. Lack of high-throughput single-cell mutation load assays lies at the root of the paucity of studies in which, at the single-cell level, mitotic mtDNA segregation patterns have been...
متن کاملHeteroplasmic mitochondrial DNA mutations in normal and tumour cells
The presence of hundreds of copies of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in each human cell poses a challenge for the complete characterization of mtDNA genomes by conventional sequencing technologies. Here we describe digital sequencing of mtDNA genomes with the use of massively parallel sequencing-bysynthesis approaches. Although the mtDNA of human cells is considered to be homogeneous, we found wides...
