0474. Circulating mitochondrial dna and vitamin d in critical illness
Methods We performed a prospective observational cohort of MICU patients at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital from 2008-2010 [n=49]. The exposure of interest was 25(OH)D categorized a priori as deficiency (25(OH)D ≤ 15 ng/mL) and measured via competitive chemiluminescence immunoassay. Circulating plasma mitochondrial DNA (mt-DNA) were assessed by measuring copy number of the NADH dehydrogenase 1...
متن کاملMitochondrial DNA Mutations, Pathogenicity and Inheritance
Mitochondria contain their own DNA (mtDNA), which codes for 13 proteins (all subunits of the respiratory chain complexes), 22 tRNAs and 2 rRNAs. Several mtDNA point mutations as well as deletions have been shown to be causative in well-defined mitochondrial disorders. A mixture of mutated and wild type mtDNA (heteroplasmy) is found in most of these disorders. Inheritance of mtDNA is maternal, a...
متن کاملInsight into the mechanism of mitochondrial DAMP release during sepsis
Recent studies have shown that mitochondria derived damage associated molecular pattern molecules (mtDAMP) are increased in the blood circulation of patients suffering from severe injuries and sepsis. DAMP’s (including mitochondrial DNA and proteins) are considered to be pro-inflammatory and one of the important mediators of ongoing systemic inflammation during sepsis. The mechanism of mtDAMP r...
متن کاملMitochondrial DNA depletion can be prevented by dGMP and dAMP supplementation in a resting culture of deoxyguanosine kinase-deficient fibroblasts.
Deoxyguanosine kinase is a constitutively expressed, mitochondrial enzyme of the deoxyribonucleoside salvage pathway. Deficiency of deoxyguanosine kinase causes early-onset, hepatocerebral mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) depletion syndrome. To clarify the molecular mechanism of the disease, a skin fibroblast culture was studied from a patient carrying a homozygous nonsense mutation in the gene for de...
متن کاملThe maintenance of mitochondrial DNA integrity--critical analysis and update.
DNA molecules in mitochondria, just like those in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells, are constantly damaged by noxious agents. Eukaryotic cells have developed efficient mechanisms to deal with this assault. The process of DNA repair in mitochondria, initially believed nonexistent, has now evolved into a mature area of research. In recent years, it has become increasingly appreciated that mitochon...
