This commentary discusses damage and loss of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in type 2 diabetes mellitus from both the clinical and experimental perspectives. Increasingly, an array of studies in experimental models and patients suggests that the cellular stresses of insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes damage mtDNA, leading to loss of mitochondrial genetic content. As such, mtDNA is emerging as both a valuable monitoring tool and translational preventive target for metabolic disease. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
本评论从临床和实验角度探讨了2型糖尿病中线粒体DNA(mtDNA)的损伤和丢失。越来越多针对实验模型和患者的研究表明,2型糖尿病中胰岛素抵抗所产生的细胞应激会损伤mtDNA,导致线粒体遗传物质丢失。因此,mtDNA正逐渐成为代谢性疾病的一种有价值的监测工具和转化性预防靶点。版权所有© 2016约翰·威利父子有限公司。
