Opis:
Numerous studies of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in cancer have shown differences between mtDNA sequences in tumor and normal tissue and at various stages of cancer treatment in the same patient. However, there is little data on acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), the most common type of leukemia in children. In this study we compared mitochondrial sequence variation in the D-loop region and in 5 genes of mtDNA in bone marrow samples of 6 pediatric patients with ALL at various stages of therapy. We found several common polymorphisms and one variant at position 3688 whose level varied during leukemia treatment. Our results suggest that mitochondrial DNA mutations, whose levels change during patient treatment, could be potential biomarkers for monitoring treatment efficacy and disease progression.

Opis:
Mitochondria play the central role in supplying cells with ATP and are also the major source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) - molecules of both regulatory and destructive nature. Dysfunction of mitochondrial metabolism and/or morphology have been frequently reported in human cancers. This dysfunction can be associated with mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage, which may be changed into mutations in mtDNA coding sequences, or the displacement-loop region, changes in the mtDNA copy number or mtDNA microsatellite instability. All these features are frequently associated with human cancers. Mutations in mtDNA can disturb the functioning of the ROS-producing organelle and further affect the entire cell which may contribute to genomic instability typical for cancer cells. Although the association between some mtDNA mutations and cancer is well established, the causative relationship between these two features is largely unknown. A hint suggesting the driving role of mtDNA mutations in carcinogenesis comes from the observation of tumor promotion after mtDNA depletion. Mitochondria with damaged DNA may alter signaling of the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway promoting cancer cell survival and conferring resistance to anticancer drugs. This resistance may be underlined by mtDNA copy number depletion. Therefore, mitochondria are considered a promising target in anticancer therapy and several mitochondria-targeting drugs are in preclinical and clinical trials. Some other aspects of mitochondrial structure and functions, including morphology and redox potential, can also be associated with cancer transformation and constitute new anticancer targets. Recently, several studies have disclosed new mechanisms underlying the association between mitochondria and cancer, including the protection of mtDNA by telomerase, suggesting new approaches in mitochondria-oriented anti-cancer therapy.

Opis:
Polymorphisms in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) were analyzed in 152 samples from the Polish population using restriction enzymes AvaI, BamHI, HaeII, HpaI and PstI. Additionally, each sample was classified into the appropriate haplogroup. When required, appropriate fragments were sequenced to establish the exact polymorphic sites. We found one new morph for PstI and six new morphs for AvaII. Some detected morphs have previously been described as population specific morphs in different regions of the world. All polymorphisms were classified into 31 different haplotypes. 21 of them were detected in single individuals. The Polish population was compared with other populations from different regions. Moreover, we have obtained evidence for mutation hot spots in the mtDNA coding region. Our results indicate that AvaII morph and haplogroup composition of the Polish population is similar to other European populations and has a distribution typical for this part of the world. However, statistically significant differences in haplogroup composition were found between the Polish population and Italian and Finnish populations.

Opis:
Determination of mtDNA copy number in the cell is crucial to understand many cellular processes. Recently, the number of studies with the use of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content as the determinant of mitochondrial abnormalities increased greatly and is still growing, therefore, optimization of technical conditions for this analysis is crucial. Despite using similar laboratory protocols, some results cannot be compared between research centers, thus causing discrepancies in the assessment of mtDNA content. The aim of this work was to test which conditions of biological sample collection and storage affect estimation of mtDNA level relative to the nuclear DNA (nDNA) in the blood samples and dermal fibroblasts. We found that the time and temperature of sample storage, as well as the type of the blood sample (whole blood or leukocytes) influence the estimate of mtDNA/nDNA ratio in the blood. In the case of dermal fibroblasts collected from healthy control and Huntington disease patients, our data indicate that the passage number of cells is essential to obtain reliable results.

Opis:
The influence of mutations in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) on the bioenergetic metabolism of the cell is still poorly understood. Many of the mutations in the mtDNA affect the expression of the mitochondrial genome. Investigations on cells from patients are not easy, especially as the mitochondrial DNA is heteroplasmic and this state is changed in culture. Moreover, the nuclear background and the mitochondrial haplotype may affect the behaviour of cells. Transfer of patient mitochondria to rho zero cell lines is also not optimal as these cells in general have many nuclear changes which may also affect cell behaviour. Thus, we decided to use inhibitors of mitochondrial genome expression, such as thiamphenicol, ethidium bromide and dideoxycytidine to investigate the bioenergetic metabolism of HeLa cells. We found that oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis participate equally in ATP production in HeLa cells and that decreased activity of the respiratory chain leads to increased glycolysis and the reduction of cell growth. Insufficient ATP production in the oxidative phosphorylation process was not compensated by increased proliferation of the mitochondria. However, we were able to show that there are some mechanisms compensating limited expression of the mitochondrial genome within the mitochondria. Experiments with dideoxycytidine revealed that 10-fold decrease of the mtDNA copy number resulted in almost normal activity of cytochrome c oxidase. We found that mtDNA depletion is compensated mostly on the level of RNA metabolism in the mitochondria. Thus, our results are in agreement with the hypothesis that transcription initiation rather than mtDNA copy number is a rate limiting factor for expression of the mitochondrial genome.

Opis:
The current knowledge and documentation on the origins and relationship between Gyimesi Racka reared in Hungary and the Romanian Turcana is rather controversial. Lack of information and scientific reliable proofs for the divergent theories found in the two countries motivated us to implement a trial using molecular methods to assess the genetic distance and diversity in the two breeds. Hair follicles were collected from Gyimesi Racka (2 phenotypes) and from Turcana (6 ecotypes). The 599 bp segment of the D-loop region of the mitochondrial DNA was sequenced. Altogether, 42 haplotypes were identified, while 23 were found in both populations. Populations were highly diverse according to the haplotype and nucleotide diversity indices. AMOVA analysis showed that most of the variation was observed within populations (98%), indicating a weak genetic structure between the two breeds. Animals were grouped into seven groups based on their phenotype; however genetic distances among them were also low. Tajima's D, Fu's Fs, goodness-of-fit statistics, mismatch distribution and network analysis suggested recent demographic expansion. Current comprehensive mtDNA study indicates that there is very low level of genetic differentiation between the Gyimesi Racka and Turcana populations therefore they are de facto one trans-boundary breed.

Opis:
Recombination via short repeats in plant mitochondrial genomes results in sublimons - DNA molecules with a copy number much lower compared to the main mitochondrial genome. Coexistence of stoichiometrically different mitotypes, called heteroplasmy, plays an important evolutionary role, since sublimons occasionally replace the main genome resulting in a new plant phenotype. It is not clear, how frequency of recombination and sublimon production is regulated and how it is related to changes in the quantity of the main genome and sublimons. We analyzed the accumulation of two recombining main genome sequences and two resulting sublimons in apical meristems, undifferentiated tissues and leaves of different age of Phaseolus vulgaris. Copy numbers of the main genome sequences varied greatly depending on tissue type and organ age while accumulation of sublimons remained much more stable. Although the overall accumulation of plant mtDNA decreased with the leaf age, the quantity of sublimons increased relative to the main genome indicating a higher frequency of recombination via the short 314 bp repeat. Recombination was symmetrical in young developing leaves while in senescent tissues it shifted towards asymmetric events resulting in overrepresentation of one product. We propose that during plant lifetime replication and recombination frequencies change oppositely sustaining heteroplasmic compositions of the genome, which are favorable for inheritance and maintenance of complex plant mtDNA.

Opis:
The objective of the study was to demonstrate how mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) can be used to determine the species origin of animal microtraces. The study included pieces of cat and dog hair without the root, a fragment of cooked chicken bone (0.1g), three goose down samples (0.028 g), a pork swab, a pork scratching (5×5×5 mm), and pork lard (0.22 g). DNA was isolated from all of these samples using the method appropriate for the particular source material. The extracts had DNA concentration exceeding 5.4 ng/µl with A260/280 purity range of 1.14-1.88. Next, the samples were subjected to PCR and real-time PCR with species-specific primers and primers complementary to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Control reactions based on the amplification of eukaryotic-specific fragment (18S rRNA) were additionally performed. PCR and real-time PCR products for detection of species-specific mtDNA were obtained for all templates, whereas during the detection of eukaryote DNA no product was obtained for dog and cat hair only. The poor quality of the obtained DNA did not prevent the analysis. The results showed that mitochondrial DNA is suitable for identification of small or highly processed samples, in which genomic DNA often cannot be analyzed.
