Abstract
Mitochondrial diseases are a group of genetic diseases caused by mutations in mitochondrial DNA and nuclear DNA. However, the genetic spectrum of this disease is not yet complete. In this study, we identified a novel variant m.4344T>C in mitochondrial tRNAGln from a patient with developmental delay. The mutant loads of m.4344T>C were 95% and 89% in the patient's blood and oral epithelial cells, respectively. Multialignment analysis showed high evolutionary conservation of this nucleotide. TrRosettaRNA predicted that m.4344T>C variant would introduce an additional hydrogen bond and alter the conformation of the T-loop. The transmitochondrial cybrid-based study demonstrated that m.4344T>C variant impaired the steady-state level of mitochondrial tRNAGln and decreased the contents of mitochondrial OXPHOS complexes I, III, and IV, resulting in defective mitochondrial respiration, elevated mitochondrial ROS production, reduced mitochondrial membrane potential and decreased mitochondrial ATP levels. Altogether, this is the first report in patient carrying the m.4344T>C variant. Our data uncover the pathogenesis of the m.4344T>C variant and expand the genetic mutation spectrum of mitochondrial diseases, thus contributing to the clinical diagnosis of mitochondrial tRNAGln gene variants-associated mitochondrial diseases.

The Mitochondrial tRNA Ser(UCN) Gene: A Novel m.7484A>G Mutation Associated with Mitochondrial Encephalomyopathy and Literature Review. Life (Basel) 2023; 13:life13020554. [PMID: 36836911 PMCID: PMC9963529 DOI: 10.3390/life13020554] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2023] [Revised: 01/26/2023] [Accepted: 02/14/2023] [Indexed: 02/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Mitochondrial tRNASer(UCN) is considered a hot-spot for non-syndromic and aminoglycoside-induced hearing loss. However, many patients have been described with more extensive neurological diseases, mainly including epilepsy, myoclonus, ataxia, and myopathy. We describe a novel homoplasmic m.7484A>G mutation in the tRNASer(UCN) gene affecting the third base of the anticodon triplet in a girl with profound intellectual disability, spastic tetraplegia, sensorineural hearing loss, a clinical history of epilepsia partialis continua and vomiting, typical of MELAS syndrome, leading to a myoclonic epilepticus status, and myopathy with severe COX deficiency at muscle biopsy. The mutation was also found in the homoplasmic condition in the mother who presented with mild cognitive deficit, cerebellar ataxia, myoclonic epilepsy, sensorineural hearing loss and myopathy with COX deficient ragged-red fibers consistent with MERRF syndrome. This is the first anticodon mutation in the tRNASer(UCN) and the second homoplasmic mutation in the anticodon triplet reported to date.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tic disorders (TD) are childhood-onset neuropsychiatric disorders characterized by single or multiple sudden, rapid, recurrent, and motor tics and/or vocal tics. Several nuclear genes that involved in mitochondrial functions suggest potential role of mitochondria in tic deficit. METHODS To evaluate the association of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variants with Tic disorders, we screened the whole mitochondrial genomes in 493 TD patients and 109 age- and sex matched healthy controls using next-generation sequencing technology. RESULTS A total of 1918 mtDNA variants including 1220 variants in patients only, 154 variants in controls only, and 544 variants shared by both cases and controls were identified. We found higher number of overall mtDNA variants in TD patients (P =0.00028). The variant density in MT-ATP6/8 and MT-CYB coding regions had significant difference between TD patients and controls (P=0.0025 and P=0.003, respectively). Furthermore, we observed a significant association of 15 common variants with TD based on additive model, including m.14766C>T, m.14783T>C, m.14905G>A, and m.15301G>A in MT-CYB; m.4769A>G, m.10398A>G, m.12705C>T, and m.12850A>G in MT-ND genes; m.7028C>T in MT-CO1; m.8701A>G in MT-ATP6; two noncoding variants with m.16223C>T, m.5580T>C; and three rRNA variants with m.1438A>G and m.750A>G in RNR1, and m.2352T>C in RNR2. CONCLUSIONS Our data provide the evidence of mtDNA variants associated with tic disorders. The accumulation of the heteroplasmic levels may increase the risk of TD. Replication studies with larger samples are necessary to understand the pathogenesis of TD.

Abstract
In this study, we assessed three Chinese families with inherited cholecystolithiasis and conducted the clinical, genetic, and molecular characterization of these subjects. Eight of eighteen matrilineal relatives had a clinical phenotype in these three families. Sequence analysis of complete mitochondrial genomes in these probands identified the homoplasmic tRNAPhe 625 G > A mutation and distinct sets of mtDNA polymorphisms belonging to haplogroups H2, F4b, and M10a. The 625G > A mutation disturbed the classic G-C base-pairings at a highly conserved position 49 in the T-stem of mitochondrial tRNAs. Molecular dynamics simulation showed that the structure of tRNAphe with 625 G > A mutation was noticeably remodeled while compared with the isoform of the wild type. The occurrence of tRNAPhe 625 G > A mutation in these various genetically unrelated subjects strongly indicates that this mutation is involved in the pathogenesis of cholecystolithiasis. This is the first evidence that tRNA mutations are associated with cholecystolithiasis, and it provided more insights into the genetic mechanism of cholecystolithiasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Essential hypertension (EH) was associated with mitochondrial tRNA mutations. AIMS This study was designed to assess the association between EH and mitochondrial dysfunction. METHODS A total of 30 individuals from two different Chinese families exhibit maternally inherited EH were assessed for genetic, clinical, and biochemical phenotypes pertaining to EH and mitochondrial functionality. These analyses included assessments of tRNALeu(UUR) 3261A > G mutation status, mitochondrial membrane permeability, mitochondria-associated ATP and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and electron transport chain functionality. RESULTS EH was detected in 6 total analyzed members of the two families assessed in the present study, with its initial age of onset and presentation varying among patients. These patients with EH exhibited the tRNALeu(UUR) 3261A > G mutation and were of the B5 and D4 Eastern Asian mitochondrial haplogroups. This 3261A > G mutation was predicted to result in disruption of normal tRNALeu(UUR) activity owing to the destabilization of conserved base pairing (30A-40U). Consistent with this prediction, we found that cybrid cell lines exhibiting this 3261A > G mutation exhibited a ~49.05% decrease in baseline tRNALeu(UUR) levels. These cells additionally exhibited ~44.81% reductions in rates of mitochondrial translation. CONCLUSIONS To facilitate future molecular diagnosis, the 3261A > G mutation should be included in the list of hereditary risk factors. Our findings will aid in the counseling of EH families.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Herein, we report the genetic, clinical, molecular and biochemical features of two Han Chinese pedigrees with suggested maternally transmitted non-syndromic hearing loss.
AIM To investigate the pathophysiology of hearing loss associated with mitochondrial tRNA mutations.
METHODS Sixteen subjects from two Chinese families with hearing loss underwent clinical, genetic, molecular, and biochemical evaluations. Biochemical characterizations included the measurements of tRNA levels using lymphoblastoid cell lines derived from five affected matrilineal relatives of these families and three control subjects.
RESULTS Three of the 16 matrilineal relatives in these families exhibited a variable seriousness and age-at-onset (8 years) of deafness. Analysis of mtDNA mutation identified the novel homoplasmic tRNAIle 4268T>C mutation in two families both belonging to haplogroup D4j. The 4268T>C mutation is located in a highly conserved base pairing (6U–67A) of tRNAIle. The elimination of 6U–67A base-pairing may change the tRNAIle metabolism. Functional mutation was supported by an approximately 64.6% reduction in the level of tRNAIle observed in the lymphoblastoid cell lines with the 4268T>C mutation, in contrast to the wild-type cell lines. The reduced level of tRNA was below the proposed threshold for normal respiration in lymphoblastoid cells. However, genotyping analysis did not detect any mutations in the prominent deafness-causing gene GJB2 in any members of the family.
CONCLUSION These data show that the novel tRNAIle 4268T>C mutation was involved in maternally transmitted deafness. However, epigenetic, other genetic, or environmental factors may be attributed to the phenotypic variability. These findings will be useful for understanding families with maternally inherited deafness.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Mutations/variants in mitochondrial genomes are found to be associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but the pathophysiology of this disease remains largely unknown. AIM The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variants and T2DM. METHODOLOGY A maternally inherited T2DM pedigree is underwent clinical, genetic, and molecular assessment. Moreover, the complete mitochondrial genomes of the matrilineal relatives of this family are PCR amplified and sequenced. We also utilize the phylogenetic conservation analysis, haplogroup classification, and the pathogenicity scoring system to determine the T2DM-associated potential pathogenic mtDNA variants. RESULT Four of seven matrilineal relatives of this pedigree suffered from T2DM with variable ages of onset. Screening for the entire mtDNA genes of matrilineal members reveals co-existence of ND5 T12338C and tRNAAla T5587C variants, as well as 21 genetic polymorphisms which belong to East Asian haplogroup F2. Interestingly, the T12338C variant causes the alternation of first amino acid Met to Thr, shortened two amino acids of ND5 protein. Furthermore, T5587C variant is located at position 73 in the 3'end of mt-tRNAAla and may have structural and functional consequences. CONCLUSIONS The co-occurrence of ND5 T12338C and tRNAAla T5587C variants may impair the mitochondrial function, which are associated with the development of T2DM in this family.

Abstract
Chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia (CPEO) manifests phenotypically as ptosis with ophthalmoplegia or CPEO-plus, with the affection of muscles or organs other than the extra-ocular eye muscles. Herein, a case of CPEO-plus caused by a single mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) deletion is represented, along with several previously unreported phenotypic features. The patient is a 76-year-old Caucasian female who had experienced slowly progressive bilateral ptosis since the age of 15, followed by gradual ophthalmoparesis without double vision. Since the age of 56, she had developed mild quadriparesis, depression, easy fatigability, hypersomnia, a facial tic, optic atrophy, cataract, glaucoma, hepatomegaly, hepatic steatosis, cholecystolithiasis, diverticulosis, hyperhidrosis, mild hyper-creatine-kinase-emia, hyperlipidemia, and hyperuricemia. Moreover, she had faced previously unreported manifestations of mitochondrial disorders, psoriasis, and multiple scalp atheromas. The phenotype and a single 5kb mtDNA deletion were employed to diagnose CPEO-plus. This case demonstrates that the phenotypic spectrum of CPEO-plus is broader than expected, that psoriasis and scalp atheromas are unique features of a mitochondrial disorder, and that CPEO progresses to CPEO-plus during the years.

Abstract
Objective Previous studies showed that variants in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the relationships between mitochondrial tRNA (mt-tRNA) variants and T2DM remain poorly understood. Methods In this study, we performed a mutational screening of 22 mt-tRNA genes in a cohort of 200 Han Chinese subjects with T2DM and 200 control subjects through PCR–Sanger sequencing. The identified mt-tRNA variants were assessed for their pathogenicity via the phylogenetic approach, structural and functional analysis. Furthermore, two Han Chinese pedigrees with maternally inherited diabetes and deafness (MIDD) were reported by clinical and genetic assessments. Results A total of 49 genetic variants in mt-tRNA genes were identified; among them, 31 variants (17 pathogenic/likely pathogenic) were absent in controls, located at extremely conserved nucleotides, may have potential structural and functional significance, thereby considered to be T2DM-associated variants. In addition, sequence analysis of entire mitochondrial genomes of the matrilineal relatives from two MIDD pedigrees revealed the occurrence of tRNALeu(UUR) A3243G and T3290C mutations, as well as sets of polymorphisms belonging to mitochondrial haplogroups F2 and D4. However, the lack of any functional variants in connexin 26 gene (GJB2) and tRNA 5-methylaminomethyl-2-thiouridylate (TRMU) suggested that nuclear genes may not play active roles in clinical expression of MIDD in these pedigrees. Conclusion Our data indicated that mt-tRNA variants were associated with T2DM, screening for mt-tRNA pathogenic mutations was recommended for early detection and prevention of mitochondrial diabetes.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a relapsing chronic idiopathic inflammatory condition. The increased risks of fractures in the spine and decreased BMD at all weight-bearing skeletal sites have been reported in IBD patients. The understanding of the mechanisms of IBD-induced bone loss is far from complete. Appropriate animal models are a prerequisite for studying IBD-induced bone loss, which prompted us to undertake quantitative meta-analyses by pooling data from the available IBD models that assessed various bone parameters. Sufficient data for meta-analysis are obtained from chemically- but not genetically induced models. Among the chemically induced models, only the effects of dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) and 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS) on bone parameters have been reported. Meta-analysis showed that both DSS (Hedge's g = 2.124, p = 0.001) and TNBS (Hedge's g = 6.292, p = 0.000) increased inflammatory disease severity. In pooled analysis, bone volumes in femur (Hedge's g = - 3.42, p = 0.000) and tibia (Hedge's g = - 2.49, p = 0.000) showed significant losses upon DSS administration. Similarly, bone formation rate was significantly reduced upon IBD induction (Hedge's g = - 3.495, p = 0.006). Besides, cortical thickness was reduced and trabecular microstructure deteriorated by IBD induction. Insufficient data precluded us from determining the effect of IBD on bone strength and calciotropic hormones, as well as the impact of proinflammatory cytokines on bone turnover. This meta-analysis showed that IBD induction in rodents causes significant bone loss. Impaired osteoblast function appears to be the cause of this impact.
