线粒体呼吸链复合物Ⅱ缺陷与疾病

本文就近年关于线粒体呼吸链复合物Ⅱ的结构、功能及其缺陷的临床表型、诊断、治疗及分子遗传学研究方面的进展进行文献综述。线粒体呼吸链复合物Ⅱ亦称琥珀酸泛醌氧化还原酶,是线粒体呼吸链的重要组分之一,对细胞的氧化磷酸化起着关键作用。呼吸链复合物Ⅱ与氧化性应激密切相关,是细胞内毒性物质以及异常代谢产物的敏感靶标。复合物Ⅱ缺陷导致的线粒体病临床表现多样,以神经肌肉进行性损害为主要表现,少数表现为心肌病、发作性呕吐、溶血尿毒综合征等。诊断有赖于线粒体呼吸链酶复合物活性测定和基因分析。患者受累组织的呼吸链复合物Ⅱ活性降低。已发现SDHA基因与编码复合物Ⅱ组装因子的SDHAF1基因的突变可导致复合物Ⅱ缺陷。目前线粒体呼吸链复合物Ⅱ缺陷的治疗主要是以改善线粒体功能为主。

Intractable secretory diarrhea in a Japanese boy with mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I deficiency

The etiology of secretory diarrhea in early life is often unclear. We report a Japanese boy who survived until 3 years of age, despite intractable diarrhea commencing soon after birth. The fecal sodium content was strikingly high (109 mmol/L [normal range, 27–35 mmol/L]) and the osmotic gap was decreased (15 mOsm/kg), consistent with the findings of congenital sodium diarrhea. We examined the mitochondrial respiratory chain function by blue native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (BN-PAGE) in-gel enzyme staining, BN-PAGE western blotting, respiratory chain enzyme activity assay, and immunohistochemistry. Liver respiratory chain complex (Co) I activity was undetectable, while other respiratory chain complex activities were increased (Co II, 138%; Co III, 153%; Co IV, 126% versus respective control activities). Liver BN-PAGE in-gel enzyme staining and western blotting showed an extremely weak complex I band, while immunohistochemistry showed extremely weak staining for the 30-kDa subunit of complex I, but normal staining for the 70-kDa subunit of complex II. The patient was, therefore, diagnosed with complex I deficiency. The overall complex I activity of the jejunum was substantially decreased (63% of the control activity). The immunohistochemistry displayed apparently decreased staining of the 30-kDa complex I subunit, together with a slightly enhanced staining of the 70-kDa complex II subunit in intestinal epithelial cells. These data imply that intestinal epithelial cells are also complex I-deficient in this patient. Complex I deficiency is a novel cause of secretory diarrhea and may act via disrupting the supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) needed for the maintenance of ion gradients across membranes.     

Mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I deficiency causes intractable gastrointestinal symptoms

We report the case of a 13‐month‐old girl with frequent vomiting, intractable diarrhea, hyperlactatemia, and liver dysfunction. Although the symptoms were treatment resistant, enteral nutrition formula containing medium‐chain triglycerides reduced the weight loss, vomiting, and diarrhea. Immunostaining of mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC) complexes of the colonic mucosa confirmed the diagnosis of MRC complex I deficiency. This case shows that this disease should be included in the differential diagnosis of hyperlactatemia and intractable, cryptogenic gastrointestinal symptoms. In addition, the mucosa of the affected gastrointestinal organ should be analyzed on immunostaining or electron microscopy for MRC complexes.     

End-stage liver disease as the only consequence of a mitochondrial respiratory chain deficiency: no contra-indication for liver transplantation

The prerequisite for liver transplantation as a therapeutic option for inherited metabolic diseases should be that the enzyme defect, being responsible for the major clinical (hepatic and/or extra-hepatic) abnormalities, is localised in the liver. Furthermore, no adequate dietary or pharmacological treatment should be available or such treatment should have an unacceptable influence on the quality of life. We report an infant, who developed end-stage liver disease with persistent lactic acidaemia in his first months of life. Analysis of the mitochondrial respiratory chain in liver tissue revealed a combined partial complex I and IV deficiency. No extra-hepatic involvement could be demonstrated by careful screening for multiple organ involvement, including analysis of the mitochondrial respiratory chain in muscle tissue and cultured skin fibroblasts. The boy received a reduced size liver graft at the age of 8 months. He recovered successfully. Almost 5 years after transplantation he is in good clinical condition. No clinical or biochemical signs of any organ dysfunction have been demonstrated. The considerations on which basis it was decided that there was no contra-indication to perform liver transplantation in this patient are discussed. Conclusion The possibility of a mitochondrial respiratory chain deficiency should be considered in liver disease of unknown origin prior to liver transplantation. Liver transplantation is a therapeutic option in mitochondrial respiratory chain deficiency-based end-stage liver disease provided that extra-hepatic involvement is carefully excluded.

Mitochondrial respiratory chain complex IV deficiency complicated with chronic intestinal pseudo‐obstruction in a neonate

A female infant born at 36 weeks gestational age with birthweight 2135 g, and who developed respiratory disorder, hyperlactacidemia and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy after birth, was admitted to hospital at 3 days of age. After admission, bilious emesis, abdominal distention, and passage disorder of the gastrointestinal tract were resistant to various drugs. Exploratory laparotomy was performed at 93 days of age, but no organic lesions were identified and normal Meissner/Auerbach nerve plexus was confirmed, which led to a clinical diagnosis of chronic intestinal pseudo‐obstruction (CIPO). She was diagnosed with mitochondrial respiratory chain complex IV deficiency on histopathology of the abdominal rectus muscle and enzyme activity measurement. This is the first report of a neonate with mitochondrial respiratory chain complex deficiency with intractable CIPO. CIPO can occur in neonates with mitochondrial respiratory chain disorder, necessitating differential diagnosis from Hirschsprung disease.     

Risk of hepatocellular carcinoma in liver mitochondrial respiratory chain disorders

Mitochondrial respiratory chain disorders (MRCD) are a large group of disorders that can affect any organ besides muscles or the central nervous system. We report two children who presented with neonatal cholestasis and progressive cirrhosis, who subsequently developed hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This suggests a particular risk of degeneration in these patients and the importance of a regular screening for secondary liver cancer. Suggestion of HCC should lead to early liver transplantation, which was successful without tumor recurrence in the two patients.     

Early cardiac evaluation in children with non‐specific mitochondrial disease with isolated mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I defect

Aims: We evaluated echocardiography and electrocardiography (ECG) results in children with non‐specific mitochondrial disease (MD) in order to study early cardiac involvement, a well‐known complication of the disease. Methods: Among non‐specific MD children whose isolated mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I defect was confirmed by muscle biopsy and satisfied the criteria of MD, 27 who had no cardiac symptoms were evaluated by echocardiography and ECG. Results: Three (11.1%) out of the 27 non‐specific MD patients had left ventricular ejection fraction of less than 55% and two of them (7.4%) had fractional shortening of less than 26%. ECG abnormalities were observed in 16 of the non‐specific MD patients (59.3%). Prolongation of heart rate‐corrected QT interval was seen in 11 (40.7%) and widening of the QRS interval in eight (29.6%). Left ventricular ejection fraction and fractional shortening of the patients were significantly decreased compared with those in the control group while heart rate‐corrected QT interval was prolonged in the former group. QRS interval was more widened in non‐specific MD patients, but without statistical significance. Conclusion: The potentially severe cardiac involvement observed in our subjects suggests that early cardiac evaluation after confirming the diagnosis of MD and regular follow‐up tests should be strongly recommended in children even in cases without typical cardiac manifestations.
