Apoptosis in mitochondrial myopathies is linked to mitochondrial proliferation

Abstract

Increased susceptibility to apoptosis has been shown in many models of mitochondrial defects but its relevance to human diseases is still discussed. We addressed the presence of apoptosis in muscle from patients with mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) disorders. Taking advantage of the mosaic pattern of muscle morphological anomalies associated with heteroplasmic mtDNA alterations, we have used an in situ approach to address the relationship between apoptosis and respiratory defect, mitochondrial proliferation and mutation load. Different patterns of mitochondrial morphological alterations were provided by the analysis of muscles with large mtDNA deletion (16 cases) or with the MELAS mutation (4 cases). The patient's age at biopsy ranged from 0.4 to 66 years and the muscle mutant mtDNA proportion from 32 to 82%. Apoptotic muscle fibres were observed in a small proportion of muscle fibres of 16 out of the 20 biopsies by three different detection methods for different steps of apoptosis: caspase 3 activation, fragmentation of nuclear DNA [terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labelling (TUNEL) assay] or overexpression of the pro-apoptotic factor Bax. Analysis of apoptotic features in parallel to cytochrome c oxidase...Continue Reading

Apoptotic Caspases

Apoptotic caspases belong to the protease enzyme family and are known to play an essential role in inflammation and programmed cell death. Here is the latest research.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
