Lin X, Zhou Y, Xue L. Mitochondrial complex I subunit MT-ND1 mutations affect disease progression. Heliyon 2024; 10:e28808. [PMID: 38596130 PMCID: PMC11002282 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e28808] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2024] [Revised: 03/24/2024] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 04/11/2024] Open
Abstract
Mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I is an important component of the oxidative respiratory chain, with the mitochondrially encoded NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase core subunit 1 (MT-ND1) being one of the core subunits. MT-ND1 plays a role in the assembly of complex I and its enzymatic function. MT-ND1 gene mutation affects pathophysiological processes, such as interfering with the early assembly of complex I, affecting the ubiquinone binding domain and proton channel of complex I, and affecting oxidative phosphorylation, thus leading to the occurrence of diseases. The relationship between MT-ND1 gene mutation and disease has been has received increasing research attention. Therefore, this article reviews the impact of MT-ND1 mutations on disease progression, focusing on the impact of such mutations on diseases and their possible mechanisms, as well as the application of targeting MT-ND1 gene mutations in disease diagnosis and treatment. We aim to provide a new perspective leading to a more comprehensive understanding of the relationship between MT-ND1 gene mutations and diseases.

Case report: A rare variant m.4135T>C in the MT-ND1 gene leads to Leber hereditary optic neuropathy and altered respiratory chain supercomplexes. Front Genet 2023; 14:1182288. [PMID: 37274791 PMCID: PMC10233053 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2023.1182288] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2023] [Accepted: 04/28/2023] [Indexed: 06/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Leber hereditary optic neuropathy is a primary mitochondrial disease characterized by acute visual loss due to the degeneration of retinal ganglion cells. In this study, we describe a patient carrying a rare missense heteroplasmic variant in MT-ND1, NC_012920.1:m.4135T>C (p.Tyr277His) manifesting with a typical bilateral painless decrease of the visual function, triggered by physical exercise or higher ambient temperature. Functional studies in muscle and fibroblasts show that amino acid substitution Tyr277 with His leads to only a negligibly decreased level of respiratory chain complex I (CI), but the formation of supercomplexes and the activity of the enzyme are disturbed noticeably. Our data indicate that although CI is successfully assembled in the patient's mitochondria, its function is hampered by the m.4135T>C variant, probably by stabilizing CI in its inactive form. We conclude that the m.4135T>C variant together with a combination of external factors is necessary to manifest the phenotype.

Creation of Mitochondrial Disease Models Using Mitochondrial DNA Editing. Biomedicines 2023; 11:biomedicines11020532.

Abstract
Mitochondrial diseases are a large class of human hereditary diseases, accompanied by the dysfunction of mitochondria and the disruption of cellular energy synthesis, that affect various tissues and organ systems. Mitochondrial DNA mutation-caused disorders are difficult to study because of the insufficient number of clinical cases and the challenges of creating appropriate models. There are many cellular models of mitochondrial diseases, but their application has a number of limitations. The most proper and promising models of mitochondrial diseases are animal models, which, unfortunately, are quite rare and more difficult to develop. The challenges mainly arise from the structural features of mitochondria, which complicate the genetic editing of mitochondrial DNA. This review is devoted to discussing animal models of human mitochondrial diseases and recently developed approaches used to create them. Furthermore, this review discusses mitochondrial diseases and studies of metabolic disorders caused by the mitochondrial DNA mutations underlying these diseases.

Phenotypes and genotypes of mitochondrial diseases with mtDNA variations in Chinese children: A multi-center study. Mitochondrion 2021; 62:139-150. [PMID: 34800692 DOI: 10.1016/j.mito.2021.11.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2021] [Revised: 10/29/2021] [Accepted: 11/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) associated mitochondrial diseases hold a crucial position but comprehensive and systematic studies are relatively rare. Among the 262 patients of four children's hospitals in China, 96%-point mutations (30 alleles in 11 genes encoding tRNA, rRNA, Complex I and V) and 4%-deletions (seven of ten had not been reported before) were identified as the cause of 14 phenotypes. MILS presented the highest genetic heterogeneity, while the m.3243A > G mutation was the only "hotspot" mutation with a wide range of phenotypes. The degrees of heteroplasmy in the leukocytes of MM were higher than MELAS. The heteroplasmy level of patients was higher than that in mild and carrier group, while we found low-level heteroplasmy pathogenic mutations as well. Some homoplasmic variations (e.g., m.9176 T > C mutation) are having high incomplete penetrance. For a suspected MELAS, m.3243A > G mutation was recommended to detect first; while for a suspected LS, trios-WES and mtDNA genome sequencing by NGS were recommended first in both blood and urine.
