Abstract excerpt
Pathological mutations in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) produce a diverse range of tissue-specific diseases and the proportion of mutant mitochondrial DNA can increase or decrease with time via segregation, dependent on the cell or tissue type. Previously we found that adenocarcinoma (A549.B2) cells favored wild-type (WT) mtDNA, whereas rhabdomyosarcoma (RD.Myo) cells favored mutant (m3243G) mtDNA. Mitochondrial...
