Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Single mitochondrion transfer is a possible approach for homoplasmic mtDNA modification. This study aimed to develop a novel method for single mitochondrion transfer and following mtDNA cloning to achieve homoplasmic mtDNA modification. In this study, I succeeded in performing single mitochondrion transfer between live single cells by achieving cell fusion through a 10 μm-length microtunnel using a microfluidic device, and in harvest of mitochondria transferred mtDNA-less cell from the microfluidic device. This provides an important basis for development of homoplasmic mtDNA modification method.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
実用的なmtゲノム改変技術は開発されていないため、mtゲノムの機能解析の実施には大きな制約がある。ホモプラズミックなmtゲノム改変の実現と、それに引きつづいてmtゲノム改変細胞ライブラリーを構築することによって、これまで制約の多かったmtゲノム解析を強力に推進する研究プラットフォームの創出が期待される。
