Abstract

Previous studies have revealed an increase of cytochrome c oxidase-deficient fibres/cells in the skeletal and heart muscle of humans during ageing. The enzyme defect is due to a lack of both mitochondrial and nuclear coded enzyme subunits. In the present investigation in situ hybridization of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been performed on extraocular muscles of humans over 70 years of age to show whether mutated mtDNA with the so called common deletion of 4,977 basepairs at position 8,482-13,460 of mtDNA accumulates in the cytochrome c oxidase-deficient fibres. The cytochrome c oxidase-deficient fibres revealed different hybridization patterns: a normal hybridization signal with three different mtDNA probes, a reduced or lacking signal with all three probes indicating depletion of mtDNA and a selective hybridization defect with the probe recognizing the "common deletion" region of mtDNA as evidence of mtDNA deletion. The results suggest that during ageing defects of cytochrome c oxidase are associated with different molecular alterations of mtDNA. Deletion and depletion of mtDNA are not the only nor probably the leading mechanisms responsible for the loss of respiratory chain capacity during ageing. The normal hybridization signal in most of the cytochrome c oxidase-deficient fibres and the loss of mitochondrial and nuclear protein subunits indicate the involvement of other, especially nuclear factors.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Clonal expansion of mtDNA mutations has been described in numerous tissues from aged individuals, including skeletal muscle, substantia nigra neurons, heart and colonic crypts.

    “Clonal expansion of mtDNA mutations has been described in numerous tissues from aged individuals, such as skeletal muscle (Fayet et al., 2002; Muller-Hocker et al., 1993), substantia nigra neurons (Cottrell et al., 2001; Kraytsberg et al., 2006), heart (Muller-Hocker, 1989) and colonic crypts (Taylor et al., 2003).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
