ABSTRACT: Introduction
Elucidating molecular alterations due to mitochondrial Complex I (CI) mutations may help to understand CI deficiency (CID), not only in mitochondriopathies but also as it is caused by drugs or associated to many diseases.Objectives
CID metabolic expression was investigated in Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) caused by an inherited mutation of CI.Methods
NMR-based metabolomics analysis was performed in intact skin fibroblasts from LHON patients. It used several datasets: one-dimensional 1H-NMR spectra, two-dimensional 1H-NMR spectra and quantified metabolites. Spectra were analysed using orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA), and quantified metabolites using univariate statistics. The response to idebenone (IDE) and resveratrol (RSV), two agents improving CI activity and mitochondrial functions was evaluated.Results
LHON fibroblasts had decreased CI activity (-?43%, p??1 in OPLS-DA, p??1) and alanine (VIP?>?1, p??1 and/or p?ConclusionLHON fibroblasts display lipid and amino acid metabolism alterations that are reversed by mitochondria-targeted treatments, and can be related to adaptive changes. Findings bring insights into molecular changes induced by CI mutation and, beyond, CID of other origins.
