A mouse model for mitochondrial myopathy and cardiomyopathy resulting from a deficiency in the heart/muscle isoform of the adenine nucleotide translocator

Abstract: In an attempt to create an animal model of tissue-specific mitochondrial disease, we generated 'knockout' mice deficient in the heart/muscle isoform of the adenine nucleotide translocator (Ant1). Histological and ultrastructural examination of skeletal muscle from Ant1 null mutants revealed ragged-red muscle fibers and a dramatic proliferation of mitochondria, while examination of the heart revealed cardiac hypertrophy with mitochondrial proliferation. Mitochondria isolated from mutant skeletal muscle exhibite… Show more

“…The Ant1 genotype of animals was determined by differential PCR. 9 Nucleic acids were isolated from soleus and gastrocnemius muscle using Trizol s (Life Technologies), and RNA, DNA and protein were collected taking into account the small samples available (1 Â 10 6 myocytes, 250 mg of muscle tissue). RNA expression of AAV-ANT1 was assayed by semiquantitative RT-PCR (Roche).…”

“…Western blots were developed by using affinity-purified polyclonal antibodies. 9 The protein content of cell and tissue lysates was determined by Lowry protein assay (Pierce). Protein (25 mg) of total tissue lysate or 15 mg of isolated mitochondrial lysate were separated using 10% TG-SDS-PAGE in an MESbuffer system (NOVEX/Invitrogen), blotted onto nitrocellulose membranes (Biorad) and the blots stained with Ponceau S (Sigma).…”

“…Ant1 knockout mice were born apparently normal but developed severe exercise intolerance and cardiac hypertrophy in adult stages accompanied with skeletal and cardiac myopathy. 19 Ant4 knockout mice were also born and grew normally without showing any abnormality except male infertility. 16 Spermatogenesis was severely impaired by Ant4 gene disruption, and the mice failed to generate mature spermatozoa.…”

“…All of these disorders are transmitted as autosomal recessive traits and there have been great strides in our understanding of their molecular bases (DeVivo et al, 1996). The adenine nucleotide translocator (Ant) deserves special mention because recently a "knockout" mouse was generated with markedly deficient expression of the muscle/heart isoform of Ant (Antl) (Graham et at., 1997). This is the first animal model with the morphological and biochemical features of mitochondrial myopathy and cardiomyopathy.…”
