Abstract:
AIMS:Accumulated evidence indicates that cerebral metabolic features, evaluated by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1 H-MRS), are sensitive to early mitochondrion dysfunction associated with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy (ME). The metabolite ratios of lactate (lac)/Cr, N-acetyl aspartate (NAA)/creatine (Cr), total choline (tCho)/Cr, and myoinositol (mI)/Cr are measured in the infarct-like lesions by 1 H-MRS and may reveal metabolic changes associated with ME. However, the application of this molecular imaging technique in the investigation of the pathology of ME subtypes is unknown. METHODS:In this study, cerebral metabolic features of pathologically diagnosed ME cases, that is, 19 mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS); nine chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia (CPEO); and 23 healthy controls, were investigated using 1 H-MRS. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis was used to evaluate the diagnostic power of the cerebral metabolites. Histochemical evaluation was carried out on muscle tissues derived from biopsy to assess the abnormal mitochondrial proliferation. The association between cerebral metabolic and mitochondrial cytopathy was examined by correlation analysis. RESULTS:Patients with MELAS or CPEO exhibited a significantly higher Lac/Cr ratio and a lower NAA/Cr ratio compared with controls. The ROC curve of Lac/Cr ratio indicated prominent discrimination between MELAS or CPEO and healthy control subjects, whereas the NAA/Cr ratio may present diagnostic power in the distinction of MELAS from CPEO. Lower NAA/Cr ratio was associated with higher Lac/Cr in MELAS, but not in CPEO. Furthermore, higher ragged-red fibers (RRFs) percentages were associated with elevated Lac/Cr and reduced NAA/Cr ratios, notably in MELAS. This association was not noted in the case of mI/Cr ratio. CONCLUSIONS:Mitochondrial cytopathy (lactic acidosis and RRFs on muscle biopsy) was associated with neuronal viability but not glial proliferation, notably in MELAS. Mitochondrial neuronopathy and neuronal vulnerability are considered significant causes in the pathogenesis of MELAS, particularly with regard to stroke-like episodes.
