Abstract: Myoblast cultures were established from muscle biopsies of two patients harboring heteroplasmic mitochondrial (mt) DNA deletions. The accumulation kinetics of the deleted mtDNA was followed during myoblast to myotube differentiation. The percent- age of deleted mtDNA was determined by quantitative PCR in myoblasts, myotubes, and muscle biopsies. The deleted form accounted for 65% of the mtDNA present in a muscle biopsy from a patient harboring a 5.6-kb deletion. The percentage of deleted mtDNA was 1.2% in myoblasts and increased progressively after differentiation, up to 12% at 21 days after the commitment time. In a second patient harboring a 2.8-kb deletion, the percentage of deleted mtDNA increased much more slowly: from 0.07% in myoblasts to 0.21% after 22 days of differentiation, as compared with 45% in the muscle biopsy. Thus, a three- and ten-fold increase, respectively, in the fraction of deleted mtDNA occurred during the differentiation of myoblasts to myotubes from the two patients. The faster accumulation of deleted mtDNA in the first patient’s cells was linked to an earlier myoblast to myotube differentiation, suggesting that the level of deleted mtDNA is inversely related to the rate of cell proliferation.
