Project description:Mitochondrial dysfunction is found in the brain and peripheral tissues of Huntington’s disease (HD) patients, which connects many pathological features of HD. In this project, we conducted a large-scale study of mtDNA variations with a sensitive mtDNA-targeted sequencing method called STAMP, at a median coverage of 4000-fold, in lymphoblast and blood samples of HD patients. mtDNA sequence variations and copy numbers were compared between samples from HD patients and healthy control individuals, and were assessed in relation to HD stages, and changes of HD phenotypes in longitudinal samples.

Project description:Human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variations, particularly the presence of both mutated and wild type mtDNA known as mtDNA heteroplasmies, have garnered increasing attention due to their clinical relevance to numerous diseases. Nonetheless, the absence of a feasible and economical approach has hampered large-scale population studies on mtDNA variations. Here, we present a novel human mtDNA sequencing method called 123-seq, which is based on the 123-multiplex PCR and completed in consecutive three-step biochemical reactions, with experimental validation of its reliability. The entire library construction process takes only about 90 minutes, enabling efficient capture, amplification, and library construction of mtDNA at the bulk genomic DNA level or single-cell level in a streamlined workflow. We then applied our method to assess single-cell mtDNA mutations in a human sample, profiling over 286 T lymphocytes from a 79-year-old female. We discovered that over 90% of cells carried at least one mtDNA mutation with variant allele frequencies (VAFs) exceeding 20%. Furthermore, 83.78% of these mutation sites were enriched in the protein-coding regions of mtDNA. Our findings suggest that mtDNA mutations with functional significance may be widespread in advanced age, indicating a potential link to T cell aging. This emphasizes the need for further investigation into the dynamics of age-related mtDNA mutations at the single-cell level.

Project description:Organoids have the potential to bridge 3D cell culture to tissue physiology by providing a model resembling in vivo organs. We propose here a SILAC method to measure protein expression changes in intestinal organoids under different experimental conditions. With the combined use of quantitative mass spectrometry, SILAC and organoid culture, we validated the approach and showed that large-scale proteome variations can be measured in an “organ-like” system under variable conditions.

Project description:Blood was sampled from severe burns patients over time as well as healthy subjects. Genome-wide expression analyses were conducted using the Affymetrix U133 plus 2.0 GeneChip™. The Inflammation and the Host Response to Injury Large-Scale Collaborative Research Program Blood was sampled from 244 severe burns patients over time as well as 35 healthy subjects who consented to blood sampling. Study subjects were treated under standard operating procedures to minimize treatment variations. Patients had burns covering >20% of the total body surface area and were admitted within 96 hours of injury. Genome-wide expression analyses were conducted using the Affymetrix U133 plus 2.0 GeneChip™.

Project description:A point mutation in the WW domain of PQBP1 that mediates its interaction with SIPP1 causes the Golabi-Ito-Hall (GIH) syndrome, which is associated with severe mental retardation and physical deformations. In this project we compared lymphoblast cell lines from a healthy person and a patient with the GIH syndrome and we found that the interaction between SIPP1 and the PQBP1-Y65C mutant is strongly impaired and is associated with significant differences in the expression of numerous genes. Furthermore, our data show that the Y65C mutation in PQBP1 results in a deficiency of (alternative) splicing and in major effects on several epigenetic markers. Thus, we suggest that GIH syndrome is a splicing disease€™ and that both PQBP1 and SIPP1 play an important role in its etiology. Four replicates were obtained from one lymphoblast cell line derived from a patient with Golabi-Ito-Hall syndrome, labeled as GIH. Four replicates were obtained from one lymphoblast cell line derived from a matched healthy person and is indicated as control.

Project description:Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations may contribute to aging and age-related disorders. Previously, we created mice expressing a proofreading-deficient version of the mtDNA polymerase gamma (Polg) which accumulate age-related mtDNA mutations and display premature aging. Here we performed microarray gene expression profiling to identify mtDNA mutation-responsive genes in the cochlea of aged mitochondrial mutator mice. Age-related accumulation of mtDNA mutations was associated with transcriptional alternations consistent with reduced inner ear function, mitochondrial dysfunction, neurodegeneration, and reduced cell structural modulation. Hearing assessment and histopathological results confirmed that aged PolgD257A/D257A (D257A) mice exhibited moderate hearing loss and severe cochlear degenerations. Age-related accumulation of mtDNA mutations also resulted in alternations in gene expression consistent with induction of apoptosis, proteolysis, stress response, and reduced DNA repair. TUNEL (Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling) assay confirmed that the cochleae from aged D257A mice showed significantly more TUNEL positive cells compared to wild-type (WT) mice. The levels of cleaved caspase-3 were also found to increase in the cochleae of aged D257A mice. These observations provide evidence that age-related accumulation of mtDNA mutations is associated with apoptotic cell death in aged cochlea. Our results provide the first global view of molecular events associated with mtDNA mutations in postmitotic tissue, and suggest that apoptosis is the major mechanism of mtDNA mediated cell death in the development of age-related hearing disorder. Experiment Overall Design: To determine the effects of age-related accumulation of mtDNA mutations, each WT sample (n = 5) was compared to each D257A sample (n = 5), generating a total of twenty-five pairwise comparisons. Genes with significantly altered expression levels were sorted into gene ontology biological process categories. Experiment Overall Design: Gene expression change was called statistically significant when at least one gene was called present in a group, the P value was < 0.0500, FC was > 1.1, and FDR was > 30.00 for identification of mtDNA mutations-induced genes. Experiment Overall Design: Affymetrix standard spike controls were used in all experiments (eukaryotic hybridization control kit). Quality control measures were not used. No replicates were done. Dye swap was not used.

Project description:Maternal inheritance of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is highly conserved in metazoans. While many species eliminate paternal mtDNA during late sperm development to foster maternal inheritance, the regulatory mechanisms governing this process remain elusive. Through a large-scale genetic screen in Drosophila, we identified 47 mutant lines exhibiting substantial retention of mtDNA in mature sperm. We mapped one line to Poldip2, a gene predominantly expressed in the testis. Disruption of Poldip2 led to pronounced mtDNA retention in mature sperm and subsequent paternal transmission to progeny. Further investigation via imaging, biochemical analyses and ChIP assays revealed that POLDIP2 is a mitochondrial matrix protein capable of binding to mtDNA. Moreover, we uncovered that CLPX, a key component of the major mitochondrial protease, binds to POLDIP2 to co-regulate mtDNA elimination in Drosophila spermatids. This study shed light on the mechanisms underlying mtDNA removal during spermatogenesis, underscoring the pivotal role of this process in safeguarding maternal inheritance.
