摘要
We have successfully produced 'Mito-mice' harbouring a pathogenic mtDNA mutation. We generated the mice by introducing mitochondria with a 4696 base-pair mtDNA deletion (Delta mtDNA4696) into mouse embryos. This deletion encompasses nucleotides 7759-12454 and includes six tRNA genes and seven structural genes. In :Mito-mice, the Delta mtDNA4696 is transmitted maternally, and induces mitochondrial dysfunction in various tissues. Most of the Mito-mice with high proportions of the Delta mtDNA4696 died at about age 6 months due to rectal failure. Mito-mice are the first animal model for mtDNA-based diseases and will be valuable for studying pathogenesis and for identifying effective drug and gene therapies.
