Deltoid human muscle mtDNA is extensively rearranged in old age subjects.

Abstract:

:Extra long PCR analysis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) isolated from skeletal muscle of humans of different ages revealed three phenomena: (i) the amount of normal length mtDNA (16.5 kb) was progressively reduced with age, such that the cells of old age individuals (about 90 years) contained little, or undetectable amounts of normal length mtDNA; (ii) the total amount of mtDNA did not appear to be greatly decreased rather the extent of mtDNA deletions greatly increased; (iii) in old age subjects, considerable amounts of over-sized mtDNA (more than 16.5 kb) was observed. Enzyme histochemical analysis of cytochrome-c oxidase (COX) activity in the muscle tissue of all subjects evidenced a cellular bioenergy mosaic with cells ranging from high to zero detectable enzyme activity in the muscle samples. The frequency of COX deficient muscle fibres was highly dependent on the age of the subject. We have found that the extent of the mtDNA mutational changes strongly correlate with the observed progressive decrease in COX activity. Therefore, it was suggested that the total extent of mtDNA mutation is very large in old age subjects and is sufficient to account for the decline in cellular COX activity with age and for a progressive decrease of overall mitochondrial bioenergetic capacity.
