Sequence variation in mitochondrial complex I genes: mutation or polymorphism?
BACKGROUND Defects of the mitochondrial genome are recognised as common causes of genetic disease. Sequencing of large portions or even the entire mitochondrial genome is routine in many laboratories for the investigation of mitochondrial disease. However, establishing whether a detected sequence change is polymorphic or pathogenic is still a major difficulty because of its highly polymorphic n...
متن کاملMitochondrial Complex I Is an Essential Player in LPS-Induced Preconditioning in Differentiated PC12 Cells
Preconditioning (PC) as a protective strategy against noxious insults can decline cell death and apoptosis. It has been approved that mitochondria play a key role in PC mechanism. The critical role of complex I (CI) in oxidative phosphorylation machinery and intracellular ROS production, particularly in the brain, accentuates its possible role in PC-induced neuroprotection. Here, differentiated...

متن کاملMitochondrial DNA sequence variation in multiple sclerosis.
OBJECTIVE To assess the influence of common mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence variation on multiple sclerosis (MS) risk in cases and controls part of an international consortium. METHODS We analyzed 115 high-quality mtDNA variants and common haplogroups from a previously published genome-wide association study among 7,391 cases from the International Multiple Sclerosis Genetics Consortium an...
متن کاملANTIBODY TO MITOCHONDRIAL COMPLEX-I IN SOME PATIENTS WITH MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
When pooled immunoglobulin G (IgG) from patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) was used to probe a human fetal spinal cord λgt 11 cDNA library, the IgG was found to bind to a predicted epitope of human mitochondrial ND4 sequence. To investigate the involvement of the ND4 as an autoantigen in MS, we determined the presence of specific antibody in the serum of MS patients and serum samples of...
