Somatic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations contribute to the pathogenesis of age-related disorders, including myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). The accumulation of mitochondria harboring mtDNA mutations in patients with these disorders suggests a failure of normal mitochondrial quality-control syste...

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations may contribute to aging and age-related disorders. Previously, we created mice expressing a proofreading-deficient version of the mtDNA polymerase gamma (Polg) which accumulate age-related mtDNA mutations and display premature aging. Here we performed microarray g...

Expression analysis of cells the given amount of time after mtDNA was lost (or Nar1 expression was repressed) compared to pretreatment (or NAR1 being fully expressed). One time course experiment (Cells a given amount of time following mtDNA loss compared to cells with intact mtDNA), with 2 two condi...
ORGANISM(S): Saccharomyces cerevisiae 
Background: Developments in DNA resequencing microarrays include mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequencing and mutation detection. During automated analysis to sequence mtDNA, bases can be identified as wildtype, variant, or there may be a failure to assign a base (N-call) when compared to the mtDNA refe...

Studying whether removal of base-excision repair from mitochondria will result into increase in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutation load. The endogenous genes of OGG1 and MUTYH DNA glycosylases were modified to lack the genomic region encoding for the predicted mitochondrial targeting sequence. The m...

To study whether increase in mitochondrial oxidative stress (SOD2 removal) and decrease in mitochondrial DNA repair (Ogg1 dMTS) results into increase in mitochondrial DNA mutation load. Oxidative stress has been suggested to induce mutations in mtDNA. To verify this, we extracted and sequenced (Illu...

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations predominantly cause neurological diseases. Searching for therapeutic strategies is hindered by the absence of viable neural model systems due to the challenges of engineering mtDNA. We demonstrate that neural progenitor cells (NPCs), rapidly obtained from human in...

Mitochondria have been implicated in insulin resistance and beta cell dysfunction, both of which comprise the core pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). It has also recently been found that mtDNA haplogroups are distinctively associated with susceptibility to T2DM at least in Koreans a...
ORGANISM(S): Homo sapiens 
Mitochondria generate signals of adaptation that regulate nuclear genes expression via retrograde signaling. But this phenomenon is complexified when qualitatively different mitochondria and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) coexist within cells. Although this cellular state of heteroplasmy leads to diver...

Damage to the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) severely affects the cell and causes disease. Mutations to mtDNA also accumulate throughout the lifespan of many organisms and may be a proximal cause of aging. There is no effective treatment for ailments caused by mtDNA mutation. Since mitochondrial funct...
