Plppr5 gene inactivation causes a more severe neurological phenotype and abnormal mitochondrial homeostasis in a mouse model of juvenile seizure.

Abstract excerpt

Mice with inactivation of the Plppr5 gene (Plppr5-/-) had aggravated hypoxic-ischemic damage and partially weakened neuroprotection of melatonin (a mitochondrial targeted antioxidant), suggesting that abnormal mitochondrial homeostasis contributes to neurological abnormalities in these mice. We examined the hypothesis that Plppr5 inactivation disturbs mitochondrial homeostasis, which may cause long-term adverse...
