X Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To establish a rapid and precise high-throughput mitochondrial (mt) DNA chip and to investigate the relationship between mtDNA tRNA Leu (UUR) and ND1 gene mutations and diabetes mellitus. METHODS: A wild-type and mutant probes of 28 loci in tRNA Leu (UUR) and ND1 gene were immobilized on the Hybond N + nylon membrane by UV-crosslinking, then the mtDNA chips were used to detect 28 loci mutation in 200 cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus and 210 matched healthy controls. All the mutations were further confirmed by DNA sequencing. Mfold and Antherprot softwares were used to predict the secondary structures of the mutant gene and protein. RESULTS: The mtDNA chip, which could detect 28 loci mutations, was successfully developed. In diabetic group, there were 2 (1.0%) cases of T3 290C mutation, 6 (3.0%) of G3 316A (Ala-->Thr) mutation, 5 (2.5%) of T 3 394C (Tyr-->His) mutation, 1 (0.5%) of T3 593 C (Val-->Ala) mutation, 1 (0.5%) of A3 606G (Leu-->Leu) mutation, 8 (4.0%) of A4 164G (Met-->Met) mutation, 2 (1.0%) of T4 216C (Met-->His) mutation. In the controls, 1 (0.5%) carrier of G3 316A mutation and 5 (2.4%) carriers of A4 164G mutation were found. There was significant difference between two groups for T3 394C mutation frequencies (P = 0.027). The secondary structures of the mutant proteins of G3 316A, T3 394C, T3 593C and T4 216C mutations were all different from those of the wild-types'. CONCLUSION: mtDNA chip is a rapid and reliable high-throughput method for mutations detection, and T3 394C mutation in ND1 gene might contribute to the pathogenesis of mitochondrial diabetes.
