Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Cybrid Lines Expressing Mitochondrial Genes from Patients with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy
1 Oct 2000
Abstract excerpt
Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a neurodegenerative movement disorder of unknown etiology. We hypothesized that mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) aberration could occur in this disease and contribute to its pathogenesis. To address this we created transmitochondrial cytoplasmic hybrid (cybrid) cell lines expressing mitochondrial genes from persons with PSP. The presence of cybrid mtDNA aberration was screened for...
