Abstract

Mutations in the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) are thought to be one of the causes of age-dependent cellular decline through their detrimental effects on respiration or reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. However, for many mutations, this link has not been clearly established. This study aimed to further investigate the phenotypic importance of a T414G mutation within the control region of mtDNA, previously shown to accumulate in both chronologically and photoaged human skin. We demonstrate that during dermal skin fibroblast replication in vitro in five separate cultures obtained from elderly individuals, the T414G mutant load can either increase or decrease during progressive cell division, implying the absence of consistent selection against the mutation in this context. In support of this, by utilizing a cell-sorting approach, we demonstrate that the level of the T414G mutation does not directly correlate with increased or decreased mtDNA copy number, or markers of cellular ageing including lipofuscin accumulation or ROS production. By consequence, the mutation can be distributed with a bias towards either the proliferating or senescent cell populations depending on the cell line. In conclusion, we propose that this particular mutation may have little effect on ROS production and the onset of cellular senescence in cultured fibroblasts.

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.
