Maternally inherited coronary heart disease is associated with a novel mitochondrial tRNA mutation
BACKGROUND: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the most common cause of mortality globally, yet mitochondrial genetic mutations associated with CHD development remain incompletely understood. METHODS: The subjects from three Chinese families with LHON underwent clinical, genetic, molecular, and biochem...

description | BACKGROUND: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the most common cause of mortality globally, yet mitochondrial genetic mutations associated with CHD development remain incompletely understood. METHODS: The subjects from three Chinese families with LHON underwent clinical, genetic, molecular, and biochemical evaluations. Biochemical characterizations included measuring the effects of the15910C > T mutation on tRNA(Thr) levels, enzymatic activity of electron transport chain complexes, membrane permeability, and the mitochondria-mediated generation of both reactive oxygen species (ROS) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP). RESULTS: We characterize mitochondrial genetic mutations in a three-generation Chinese family exhibiting signs of maternally inherited CHD. Of the 24 different family members in this pedigree we assessed, CHD was detected in 6, with variable severity and age of first appearance. When we sequenced the mitochondrial genomes of these individuals, we found a tRNA(Thr) 15910C > T mutation of the Eastern Asian haplogroup M7b’c. This mutation is predicted to destabilize the strongly conserved (24C-10G) base-pairing, thereby disrupting tRNA(Thr) functionality. When we performed Northern blotting, we detected we observed a 37.5% reduction in tRNA(Thr) levels at baseline in cybrid cell lines bearing the 15910C > T mutation. When we conducted western blot analysis, we detected a ~ 24.96% decrease in mitochondrial translation rates in these same cells. CONCLUSIONS: In the present report, Together these findings suggest a possible link between this 15910C > T tRNA(Thr) mutation and CHD, potentially offering new avenues for future disease intervention. |
