Mitochondrial disorders have the highest incidence among congenital metabolic disorders characterized by biochemical respiratory chain complex deficiencies. It occurs at a rate of 1 in 5,000 births, and has phenotypic and genetic heterogeneity. Mutations in about 1,500 nuclear encoded mitochondrial proteins may cause mitochondrial dysfunction of energy production and mitochondrial disorders. More than 250 genes that cause mitochondrial disorders have been reported to date. However exact genetic diagnosis for patients still remained largely unknown. To reveal this heterogeneity, we performed comprehensive genomic analyses for 142 patients with childhood-onset mitochondrial respiratory chain complex deficiencies. The approach includes whole mtDNA and exome analyses using high-throughput sequencing, and chromosomal aberration analyses using high-density oligonucleotide arrays. We identified 37 novel mutations in known mitochondrial disease genes and 3 mitochondria-related genes (MRPS23, QRSL1, and PNPLA4) as novel causative genes. We also identified 2 genes known to cause monogenic diseases (MECP2 and TNNI3) and 3 chromosomal aberrations (6q24.3-q25.1, 17p12, and 22q11.21) as causes in this cohort. Our approaches enhance the ability to identify pathogenic gene mutations in patients with biochemically defined mitochondrial respiratory chain complex deficiencies in clinical settings. They also underscore clinical and genetic heterogeneity and will improve patient care of this complex disorder. 相似文献

Infantile cardiomyopathies are devastating fatal disorders of the neonatal period or the first year of life. Mitochondrial dysfunction is a common cause of this group of diseases, but the underlying gene defects have been characterized in only a minority of cases, because tissue specificity of the manifestation hampers functional cloning and the heterogeneity of causative factors hinders collection of informative family materials. We sequenced the exome of a patient who died at the age of 10 months of hypertrophic mitochondrial cardiomyopathy with combined cardiac respiratory chain complex I and IV deficiency. Rigorous data analysis allowed us to identify a homozygous missense mutation in AARS2, which we showed to encode the mitochondrial alanyl-tRNA synthetase (mtAlaRS). Two siblings from another family, both of whom died perinatally of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, had the same mutation, compound heterozygous with another missense mutation. Protein structure modeling of mtAlaRS suggested that one of the mutations affected a unique tRNA recognition site in the editing domain, leading to incorrect tRNA aminoacylation, whereas the second mutation severely disturbed the catalytic function, preventing tRNA aminoacylation. We show here that mutations in AARS2 cause perinatal or infantile cardiomyopathy with near-total combined mitochondrial respiratory chain deficiency in the heart. Our results indicate that exome sequencing is a powerful tool for identifying mutations in single patients and allows recognition of the genetic background in single-gene disorders of variable clinical manifestation and tissue-specific disease. Furthermore, we show that mitochondrial disorders extend to prenatal life and are an important cause of early infantile cardiac failure. 相似文献

There is a renewed interest in the structure and functioning of the mitochondrial respiratory chain with the realization that a number of genetic disorders result from defects in mitochondrial electron transfer. These so-called mitochondrial myopathies include diseases of muscle, heart, and brain. The respiratory chain can be fractionated into four large multipeptide complexes, an NADH ubiquinone reductase (complex I), succinate ubiquinone reductase (complex II), ubiquinol oxidoreductase (complex III), and cytochromec oxidase (complex IV). Mitochondrial myopathies involving each of these complexes have been described. This review summarizes compositional and structural data on the respiratory chain proteins and describes the arrangement of these complexes in the mitochondrial inner membrane. This biochemical information is provided as a framework for the diagnosis and molecular characterization of mitochondrial diseases. 相似文献

Background
Mitochondria are a vital component of eukaryotic cells and their dysfunction is implicated in a large number of metabolic, degenerative and age-related human diseases. The mechanism or these disorders can be difficult to elucidate due to the inherent complexity of mitochondrial metabolism. To understand how mitochondrial metabolic dysfunction contributes to these diseases, a metabolic model of a human heart mitochondrion was created.Results
A new model of mitochondrial metabolism was built on the principle of metabolite availability using MitoMiner, a mitochondrial proteomics database, to evaluate the subcellular localisation of reactions that have evidence for mitochondrial localisation. Extensive curation and manual refinement was used to create a model called iAS253, containing 253 reactions, 245 metabolites and 89 transport steps across the inner mitochondrial membrane. To demonstrate the predictive abilities of the model, flux balance analysis was used to calculate metabolite fluxes under normal conditions and to simulate three metabolic disorders that affect the TCA cycle: fumarase deficiency, succinate dehydrogenase deficiency and α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase deficiency.Conclusion
The results of simulations using the new model corresponded closely with phenotypic data under normal conditions and provided insight into the complicated and unintuitive phenotypes of the three disorders, including the effect of interventions that may be of therapeutic benefit, such as low glucose diets or amino acid supplements. The model offers the ability to investigate other mitochondrial disorders and can provide the framework for the integration of experimental data in future studies. 相似文献6.

By convention, the term "mitochondrial diseases" refers to disorders of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, which is the only metabolic pathway in the cell that is under the dual control of the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) and the nuclear genome (nDNA). Therefore, a genetic classification of the mitochondrial diseases distinguishes disorders due to mutations in mtDNA, which are governed by the relatively lax rules of mitochondrial genetics, and disorders due to mutations in nDNA, which are governed by the stricter rules of mendelian genetics. Mutations in mtDNA can be divided into those that impair mitochondrial protein synthesis in toto and those that affect any one of the 13 respiratory chain subunits encoded by mtDNA. Essential clinical features for each group of diseases are reviewed. Disorders due to mutations in nDNA are more abundant not only because most respiratory chain subunits are nucleus-encoded but also because correct assembly and functioning of the respiratory chain require numerous steps, all of which are under the control of nDNA. These steps (and related diseases) include: (i) synthesis of assembly proteins; (ii) intergenomic signaling; (iii) mitochondrial importation of nDNA-encoded proteins; (iv) synthesis of inner mitochondrial membrane phospholipids; (v) mitochondrial motility and fission. 相似文献

Mitochondrial diseases (MDs) are heterogeneous disorders due to impaired respiratory chain function causing defective ATP production. Although the disruption of oxidative phosphorylation is central to the MD pathophysiology, other factors may contribute to these disorders. We investigated the expression and the cellular localization of TNF-α and its receptors, TNFR1 and TNFR2, in muscle biopsies from 15 patients with mitochondrial respiratory chain dysfunction. Our data unambiguously demonstrate that TNF-α is expressed in muscle fibers with abnormal focal accumulations of mitochondria, so-called ragged red fibers, and is delivered to mitochondria where both receptors are localized. Moreover TNF receptors are differentially regulated in patients' muscle in which the expression levels of TNFR1 mRNA are decreased and those of TNFR2 mRNA are increased compared with controls. These findings suggest for the first time that TNF-α could exert a direct effect on mitochondria via its receptors. 相似文献

Mitochondrial complex I, the primary entry point for electrons into the mitochondrial respiratory chain, is both critical for aerobic respiration and a major source of reactive oxygen species. In the heart, chronic dysfunction driving cardiomyopathy is frequently associated with decreased complex I activity, from both genetic and environmental causes. To examine the functional relationship between complex I disruption and cardiac dysfunction we used an established mouse model of mild and chronic complex I inhibition through heart-specific Ndufs4 gene ablation. Heart-specific Ndufs4-null mice had a decrease of ∼50% in complex I activity within the heart, and developed severe hypertrophic cardiomyopathy as assessed by magnetic resonance imaging. The decrease in complex I activity, and associated cardiac dysfunction, occurred absent an increase in mitochondrial hydrogen peroxide levels in vivo, accumulation of markers of oxidative damage, induction of apoptosis, or tissue fibrosis. Taken together, these results indicate that diminished complex I activity in the heart alone is sufficient to drive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy independently of alterations in levels of mitochondrial hydrogen peroxide or oxidative damage. 相似文献

Mitochondrial Diseases: Therapeutic Approaches 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Therapy of mitochondrial encephalomyopathies (defined restrictively as defects of the mitochondrial respiratory chain) is
woefully inadequate, despite great progress in our understanding of the molecular bases of these disorders. In this review,
we consider sequentially several different therapeutic approaches. Palliative therapy is dictated by good medical practice
and includes anticonvulsant medication, control of endocrine dysfunction, and surgical procedures. Removal of noxious metabolites
is centered on combating lactic acidosis, but extends to other metabolites. Attempts to bypass blocks in the respiratory chain
by administration of electron acceptors have not been successful, but this may be amenable to genetic engineering. Administration
of metabolites and cofactors is the mainstay of real-life therapy and is especially important in disorders due to primary
deficiencies of specific compounds, such as carnitine or coenzyme Q10. There is increasing interest in the administration
of reactive oxygen species scavengers both in primary mitochondrial diseases and in neurodegenerative diseases directly or
indirectly related to mitochondrial dysfunction. Aerobic exercise and physical therapy prevent or correct deconditioning and
improve exercise tolerance in patients with mitochondrial myopathies due to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations. Gene therapy
is a challenge because of polyplasmy and heteroplasmy, but interesting experimental approaches are being pursued and include,
for example, decreasing the ratio of mutant to wild-type mitochondrial genomes (gene shifting), converting mutated mtDNA genes
into normal nuclear DNA genes (allotopic expression), importing cognate genes from other species, or correcting mtDNA mutations
with specific restriction endonucleases. Germline therapy raises ethical problems but is being considered for prevention of
maternal transmission of mtDNA mutations. Preventive therapy through genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis is becoming
increasingly important for nuclear DNA-related disorders. Progress in each of these approaches provides some glimmer of hope
for the future, although much work remains to be done. 相似文献

Abstract: Mitochondrial dysfunction and attendant bioenergetic defects are increasingly recognized as playing an important role in neurodegenerative disorders. The increased attention on mitochondrial involvement points to the need for developing cell lines that have neuron-like characteristics for the genetic analysis and modeling of these diseases. We describe the creation of respiratory-deficient SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cell lines (ρ0 64/5) by selectively depleting mitochondrial DNA through prolonged exposure to ethidium bromide. Oxygen consumption in these cells and activities of the electron transport chain enzyme complexes I and IV that contain subunits encoded by the mitochondrial genome are eliminated. In contrast, the function of complex II, a nuclear-encoded electron transport chain component, is largely intact in these cells. The ρ0 64/5 cells retain the ability to differentiate into cells with neuron-like phenotypes following treatment with phorbol ester or retinoic acid. Normal respiratory function is recovered by repopulation of ρ0 64/5 cells with exogenous human platelet mitochondria. The ρ0 64/5 cell line serves as a valuable model for the study of neurologic diseases suspected of involving mitochondrial dysfunction. 相似文献

Mitochondrial respiratory chain disorders are a heterogeneous group of disorders in which the underlying genetic defect is often unknown. We have identified a pathogenic mutation (c.156C>G [p.F52L]) in YARS2, located at chromosome 12p11.21, by using genome-wide SNP-based homozygosity analysis of a family with affected members displaying myopathy, lactic acidosis, and sideroblastic anemia (MLASA). We subsequently identified the same mutation in another unrelated MLASA patient. The YARS2 gene product, mitochondrial tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase (YARS2), was present at lower levels in skeletal muscle whereas fibroblasts were relatively normal. Complex I, III, and IV were dysfunctional as indicated by enzyme analysis, immunoblotting, and immunohistochemistry. A mitochondrial protein-synthesis assay showed reduced levels of respiratory chain subunits in myotubes generated from patient cell lines. A tRNA aminoacylation assay revealed that mutant YARS2 was still active; however, enzyme kinetics were abnormal compared to the wild-type protein. We propose that the reduced aminoacylation activity of mutant YARS2 enzyme leads to decreased mitochondrial protein synthesis, resulting in mitochondrial respiratory chain dysfunction. MLASA has previously been associated with PUS1 mutations; hence, the YARS2 mutation reported here is an alternative cause of MLASA. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to identify the causative genetic lesion in two apparently unrelated newborns having lethal lactic acidosis, multi-organ failure and congenital malformations including interrupted aortic arch, who exhibited mild methylmalonic aciduria, combined mitochondrial respiratory chain deficiency, and marked muscle mitochondrial DNA depletion. A novel mutation in the SUCLG1 gene was identified. Phenotype severity in Succinate-CoA ligase dysfunction appears to be more correlated to the muscle mtDNA content than to the tissue distribution of the heterodimer subunits. Prominent impairment of mitochondrial respiratory chain may result in deep ravages in developmental tissues leading to multiple organ failure and malformations. 相似文献

BackgroundIncreasing evidence from pathological and biochemical investigations suggests that mitochondrial metabolic impairment and oxidative stress play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of mitochondrial diseases, such as mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) syndrome, and various neurodegenerative disorders. Recent advances in molecular imaging technology with positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have accomplished a direct and non-invasive evaluation of the pathophysiological changes in living patients.Scope of reviewIn this review, we focus on the latest achievements of molecular imaging for mitochondrial metabolism and oxidative stress in mitochondrial diseases and neurodegenerative disorders.Major conclusionsMolecular imaging with PET and MRI exhibited mitochondrial metabolic changes, such as enhanced glucose utilization with lactic acid fermentation, suppressed fatty acid metabolism, decreased TCA-cycle metabolism, impaired respiratory chain activity, and increased oxidative stress, in patients with MELAS syndrome. In addition, PET imaging clearly demonstrated enhanced cerebral oxidative stress in patients with Parkinson's disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The magnitude of oxidative stress correlated well with clinical severity in patients, indicating that oxidative stress based on mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with the neurodegenerative changes in these diseases.General significanceMolecular imaging is a promising tool to improve our knowledge regarding the pathogenesis of diseases associated with mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress, and this would facilitate the development of potential antioxidants and mitochondrial therapies. 相似文献

Metabolomics is a powerful method of examining the intricate connections between mutations, metabolism, and disease. Metabolic footprinting examines the extracellular metabolome or exometabolome. We employed NMR-based metabolic footprinting and multivariate statistical analysis to examine a yeast model of mitochondrial dysfunction. Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) is a component of both the tricarboxylic acid cycle and the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Mutations in the human SDH are linked to a variety of cancers or neurodegenerative disorders, highlighting the genotype/phenotype complexity associated with SDH dysfunction. To gain insight into the underlying global metabolic consequences of SDH dysfunction, we examined the metabolic footprints of SDH3 and SDH4 mutants. We identified and quantified 36 metabolites in the exometabolome. Our results indicate that SDH mutations cause significant alterations to several areas of yeast metabolism. Multivariate statistical analysis allowed us to discriminate between the different metabotypes of individual mutants, including mutants that were phenotypically indistinguishable. Metabotypes were highly correlated to mutant growth yields, suggesting that the characterization of metabotypes offers a rapid means of investigating the phenotype of a new mutation. Our study provides novel insight into the metabolic effects of SDH dysfunction and highlights the effectiveness of metabolic footprinting for examining complex disorders, such as mitochondrial diseases. 相似文献

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the large bowel. Its pathogenesis remains unclear, but it appears to result from a deregulated immune response, with infiltration of leukocytes into the mucosal interstitium. Several studies link oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction to the pathogenesis of UC. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the activities of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes in the colonic mucosal of UC patients. Colonic biopsies were obtained from UC patients (n = 13). The control specimens were taken from patients without any history of inflammatory bowel disease (n = 8). Colon mucosal was removed by colonoscopy and homogenized. Mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes activities were then measured. Our results showed that the activity of complex I was not altered in UC patients, when compared to the control group. On the other hand, complexes II, III, and IV were decreased around 50–60% in the colonic mucosal of UC patients. Based on the present findings, we hypothesize that mitochondrial dysfunction may play a role in pathogenesis of UC. 相似文献

Defects in mitochondrial fusion or fission are associated with many pathologies, raising the hope that pharmacological manipulation of mitochondrial dynamics may have therapeutic benefit. This approach assumes that organ physiology can be restored by rebalancing mitochondrial dynamics, but this concept remains to be validated. We addressed this issue by analyzing mice deficient in Mff, a protein important for mitochondrial fission. Mff mutant mice die at 13 wk as a result of severe dilated cardiomyopathy leading to heart failure. Mutant tissue showed reduced mitochondrial density and respiratory chain activity along with increased mitophagy. Remarkably, concomitant deletion of the mitochondrial fusion gene Mfn1 completely rescued heart dysfunction, life span, and respiratory chain function. Our results show for the first time that retuning the balance of mitochondrial fusion and fission can restore tissue integrity and mitochondrial physiology at the whole-organ level. Examination of liver, testis, and cerebellum suggest, however, that the precise balance point of fusion and fission is cell type specific. 相似文献
