Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study was to clear multiple pathogeneses of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)-related disorders by using model mice carrying mutant mtDNAs. As results, 1) we succeeded in generating novel model mice carrying mtDNA with a point mutation in tRNA-Lys gene, and the mice expressed myopathy due to the accumulation of mtDNA with a point mutation in tRNA-Lys gene; 2) we showed that mtDNA with a point mutation in ND6 gene was responsible for age-related lymphoma in mice; 3) the diabetic condition was a possible modifier to enhance the pathogenicity of mutant mtDNAs.
