Upregulation of Matrix Metalloproteinase 1 and Disruption of Mitochondrial Network in Skin Fibroblasts of Patients with MERRF Syndrome
1 May 2005
Abstract excerpt
By using cDNA microarray and RT-PCR techniques, we investigated the genome-wide alteration of gene expression in skin fibroblasts from patients with myoclonic epilepsy and ragged-red fibers (MERRF) syndrome. By screening for the genes with altered levels of expression, we first discovered that matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP1) was highly induced in the primary culture of skin fibroblasts of a female patient in a...
