Abstract
BACKGROUND Mitochondria play an important role in cell survival, function and lineage differentiation. Changes in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) may control mitochondrial functions and thus may impart an alternative cellular state thereby leading to a disease condition in the body. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease wherein immune cells become self-reactive causing joint inflammation, swelling and pain in patients. The changes in mtDNA may alter cellular functions thereby directing the immune cells towards an inflammatory phenotype in RA. Therefore, it becomes pertinent to identify changes in mtDNA sequence in immune cells of RA patients to understand the pathogenesis and progression of RA. METHODS mtDNA from peripheral blood mono-nuclear cells (PBMCs) of 23 RA patients and 17 healthy controls (HCs) were sequenced using next-generation sequencing (NGS). Further, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and other variable changes in mtDNA hypervariable and coding regions, amino acid changes with a putative impact on disease, levels of heteroplasmy, copy number variations and haplogroup analysis in RA patients and HCs were analysed and compared to identify any association of mtDNA changes and RA disease. RESULTS A total of 382 single nucleotide mtDNA variants were observed, 91 (23.82%) were present in hypervariable region and 291 (76.18%) in coding region of patients and HC. The variant 513 GCA > ACA, with G present in HVR-III, known to control the mitochondrial translation function, was significantly present in RA patients. The CYTB gene had larger number of SNPs in HC samples while RNR2 was more variable in RA patients. A non-synonymous heteroplasmy in ND1 gene was found at a single nucleotide position 3533 in an increased number of RA patients as compared to the controls. A significant increase in mtDNA duplication and a higher frequency of the haplogroup U was also characteristic of RA. Also, the presence of SNPs in mitochondrial tRNA genes at two positions 12308 A > G and 15924 A > G were found to be pathogenic. CONCLUSION We herein observed an altered mtDNA sequence in immune cells of RA patients and thus a possible role of mitochondrial genome in the development of RA. The observed nucleotide changes in mtDNA control region, RNR2 gene, increased heteroplasmy and mtDNA duplication in RA patients may alter sites for transcription factor binding thereby influencing mtDNA gene expression, as well as copy numbers thereby affecting the mitochondrial proteins and their functions. These changes in mtDNA could be one of the probable reasons among many leading to the progression of RA.

ANNALES D'ENDOCRINOLOGIE 2020; 81:68-77. [PMID: 32409007 DOI: 10.1016/j.ando.2020.04.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2020] [Revised: 04/08/2020] [Accepted: 04/08/2020] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE While the most frequent mutation responsible for mitochondrial diabetes is the point mutation m.3243 A>G of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), few data are available about the role of rare mtDNA mutations in the pathophysiology of diabetes. The main objective of our study was to describe the phenotypic characteristics of patients suffering from diabetes linked to rare mtDNA mutations. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We performed a post-hoc analysis of a prospective multicenter cohort of 743 patients with mitochondrial disorder (previously published by the French Network of Mitochondrial Diseases), associated to a literature review of the PubMed database from 1992 to May 2016. We extracted all reported patients with diabetes and identified rare mtDNA mutations and described their clinical and metabolic phenotypes. RESULTS The 50 identified patients (10 from the princeps study; 40 from the review of the literature) showed a heterogeneous metabolic phenotype in terms of age, symptoms prior to diagnosis, treatments, and associated clinical and biological signs. However, neurological symptoms were more frequent in case of rare mtDNA mutations compared to the classical m.3243 A>G mutation (P=0.024). In contrast, deafness (65% vs. 95%, P=3.7E-5), macular pattern dystrophy (20% vs. 86%, P=1.6E-10) and nephropathy (8% vs. 28%, P=0.018) were significantly less frequent than in case of the classical m.3243 A>G mutation. CONCLUSION Although no specific metabolic phenotype could be identified suggesting or eliminating implication of rare mtDNA mutations in diabetes, clinical phenotypes featured more frequent neurological signs.

Abstract
Mitochondria are the main producers of energy in eukaryotic cells. Mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with specific mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variations (haplogroups), and these variations can contribute to human disease. East Asian populations show enrichment of many mitochondrial haplogroups, including A, B, D, G, M7, M8, M9, N9, R9, and exhibit half of the known haplogroups of worldwide. In this review, we summarize the current research in the field of mtDNA variation and associated disease in East Asian populations and discuss the physiological and pathological relevance of mitochondrial biology. mtDNA haplogroups are associated with various metabolic disorders ascribed to altered oxidative phosphorylation. The same mitochondrial haplogroup can show either a negative or positive association with different diseases. Mitochondrial dynamics, mitophagy, and mitochondrial oxidative stress, ultimately influence susceptibility to various diseases. In addition, mitochondrial retrograde signaling pathways may have profound effects on nuclear-mitochondrial interactions, affecting cellular morphology, and function. Other complex networks including proteostasis, mitochondrial unfolded protein response and reactive oxygen species signaling may also play pivotal roles in metabolic performance.

Abstract
Background Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a primary disorder characterised by asymmetric thickening of septum and left ventricular wall, with a prevalence of 0.2% in the general population. Objective To describe a novel mitochondrial DNA mutation and its association with the pathogenesis of HCM. Methods and results All maternal members of a Chinese family with maternally transmitted HCM exhibited variable severity and age at onset, and were implanted permanent pacemakers due to complete atrioventricular block (AVB). Nuclear gene screening (MYH7, MYBPC3, TNNT2 and TNNI3) was performed, and no potential pathogenic mutation was identified. Mitochondrial DNA sequencing analysis identified a novel homoplasmic 16S rRNA 2336T>C mutation. This mutation was exclusively present in maternal members and absent in non-maternal members. Conservation index by comparison to 16 other vertebrates was 94.1%. This mutation disturbs the 2336U-A2438 base pair in the stem–loop structure of 16S rRNA domain III, which is involved in the assembly of mitochondrial ribosome. Oxygen consumption rate of the lymphoblastoid cells carrying 2336T>C mutation had decreased by 37% compared with controls. A reduction in mitochondrial ATP synthesis and an increase in reactive oxidative species production were also observed. Electron microscopic analysis indicated elongated mitochondria and abnormal mitochondrial cristae shape in mutant cells. Conclusions It is suggested that the 2336T>C mutation is one of pathogenic mutations of HCM. This is the first report of mitochondrial 16S rRNA 2336T>C mutation and an association with maternally inherited HCM combined with AVB. Our findings provide a new insight into the pathogenesis of HCM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mitochondria play critical roles in both the life and death of cardiac myocytes. Pathogenic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations leading to mitochondrial dysfunction can cause cardiomyopathies (CMPs). Our aim was to investigate the underlying mitochondrial defect in a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (hCMP). A detailed clinical and molecular genetic analysis was performed. PATIENTS AND METHODS Total DNA was extracted from lymphocytes in a 14-year-old index male patient with hCMP, preexcitation syndrome, and severe ventricular arrhythmias. Direct sequencing of the PCR fragments was performed. To distinguish deleterious from functionally neutral variants, the ClustalW program, RNAfold software, and PolyPhen algorithm were applied, which predict the pathogenicity of a particular variant by using a set of empirical rules based on the nature of the mutation, the phylogenetic conservation of the variant, and the physicochemical property of the amino acid. RESULTS The mutational analysis of mtDNA genes revealed four variants. The m.4395A>G transition (C6G) in the MT-TQ gene, which altered an evolutionary conserved nucleotide, with a conservation index of 85.7 % and affected a highly conserved U.G base pair in the secondary structure of MT-TQ. Additionally, the previously reported polymorphisms m.14757T>A, m.15236A>G, and m.15314G>A resulting in the replacement of amino acid residues in the MT-CYB gene were detected. CONCLUSION The m.4395A>G variant was scored as possibly pathogenic and may exert a negative effect on heart function to generate hCMP.

Abstract
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a primary disorder characterized by asymmetric thickening of the septum and left ventricular wall, which affects 1 in 500 individuals in the general population. Mutations in mitochondrial DNA have been found to be one of the most important causes of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Here we report the clinical, genetic and molecular characterization of a Han Chinese family with a likely maternally transmitted hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Four (2 men/2 women) of 5 matrilineal relatives in this 3-generation family exhibited the variable severity and age at onset of 44 to 79 years old. Sequence analysis of the entire mitochondrial DNA in this pedigree identified the known homoplasmic ND5 12338T>C variant. This mitochondrial DNA haplogroup belongs to the Eastern Asian F2a. The 12338T>C variant, highly evolutionarily conserved, resulted in the replacement of the translation initiating methionine with a threonine, shortening the ND5 polypeptide by 2 amino acids. The occurrence of ND5 12338T>C variant exclusively in maternal members of this Chinese family suggested that the 12338T>C variant is associated with maternally inherited hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Our findings will provide theoretical basis for genetic counseling of maternally inherited hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Sequence analysis of the mitochondrial genome has become a routine method in the study of mitochondrial diseases. Quite often, the sequencing efforts in the search of pathogenic or disease-associated mutations are affected by technical and interpretive problems, caused by sample mix-up, contamination, biochemical problems, incomplete sequencing, misdocumentation and insufficient reference to previously published data. To assess data quality in case studies of mitochondrial diseases, it is recommended to compare any mtDNA sequence under consideration to their phylogenetically closest lineages available in the Web. The median network method has proven useful for visualizing potential problems with the data. We contrast some early reports of complete mtDNA sequences to more recent total mtDNA sequencing efforts in studies of various mitochondrial diseases. We conclude that the quality of complete mtDNA sequences generated in the medical field in the past few years is somewhat unsatisfactory and may even fall behind that of pioneer manual sequencing in the early nineties. Our study provides a paradigm for an a posteriori evaluation of sequence quality and for detection of potential problems with inferring a pathogenic status of a particular mutation.

Abstract
We describe a novel mutation in human mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase 1 gene (ND1), a G to A transition at nucleotide position 3337, which is co-segregated with two known mutations in tRNALeu(CUN) A12308G and tRNAThr C15946T. These mutations were detected in two unrelated patients with different clinical phenotypes, exhibiting cardiomyopathy as the common symptom. The ND1 G3337A mutation that was detected was found almost homoplasmic in the two patients and it was absent in 150 individuals that were tested as control group. Mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I activity of the patients platelets was also tested and found decreased compared to those of controls. We suggest that the co-existence of mutations in tRNA and ND1 genes may act synergistically affecting the clinical phenotype. Our study highlights the enormous phenotypic diversity that exists among pathogenic mtDNA mutations and re-emphasizes the need for a more careful clinical approach.

Abstract
Mitochondrial respiratory function in a patient with maternally inherited type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy associated with heteroplasmic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) C3310T mutation, which replaces the second amino acid of NADH dehydrogenase 1 (ND1) from a hydrophobic Proline to a hydrophilic Serine, was investigated. Mitochondrial respiratory function solely due to mtDNA C3310T mutation was investigated in cybrid system by the fusion of mtDNA-deleted (rho(0)) HeLa cells and exogenous mtDNA either from the proband or from controls. Total oxygen consumption of the proband cybrid cells was significantly decreased compared with those of controls (2.468+/-0.475 versus 2.871+/-0.484 micromol/h/10(7) cells, p=0.0392). Mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I activity of the proband cybrid cells was also significantly decreased compared with those of controls (0.191+/-0.080 versus 0.288+/-0.113 micromol/h/mg protein, p=0.0223). Furthermore, ATP content in the proband cybrid cells was also significantly decreased compared with those in controls (1.119+/-0.344 versus 1.419+/-0.378 pmol/10(5) cells, p=0.044). The present study indicates that mtDNA C3310T mutation may be a pathogenic mutation of maternally inherited type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in the proband and the family.
