Abstract

Zellweger syndrome (cerebro-hepato-renal syndrome) is the most severe form of the peroxisomal biogenesis disorders leading to early death of the affected children. To study the pathogenetic mechanisms causing organ dysfunctions in Zellweger syndrome, we have recently developed a knockout-mouse model by disrupting the PEX5 gene, encoding the targeting receptor for most peroxisomal matrix proteins (M Baes, P Gressens, E Baumgart, P Carmeliet, M Casteels, M Fransen, P Evrard, D Fahimi, PE Declercq, D Collen, PP van Veldhoven, GP Mannaerts: A mouse model for Zellweger syndrome. Nat Genet 1997, 17:49-57). In this study, we present evidence that the absence of functional peroxisomes, causing a general defect in peroxisomal metabolism, leads to proliferation of pleomorphic mitochondria with severe alterations of the mitochondrial ultrastructure, changes in the expression and activities of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes, and an increase in the heterogeneity of the mitochondrial compartment in various organs and specific cell types (eg, liver, proximal tubules of the kidney, adrenal cortex, heart, skeletal and smooth muscle cells, neutrophils). The changes of mitochondrial respiratory chain enzymes are accompanied by a marked increase of mitochondrial manganese-superoxide dismutase, as revealed by in situ hybridization and immunocytochemistry, suggesting increased production of reactive oxygen species in altered mitochondria. This increased oxidative stress induced probably by defective peroxisomal antioxidant mechanisms combined with accumulation of lipid intermediates of peroxisomal beta-oxidation system could contribute significantly to the pathogenesis of multiple organ dysfunctions in Zellweger syndrome.

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.
