https://www.selleckchem.com/products/ferrostatin-1.html Mitochondrial disorders are one of the most common inherited metabolic disorders and are caused by variants in nuclear genes or the mitochondrial genome. Additionally, there is a large group of patients displaying clinical symptoms, where the genetic background is unknown. Mitochondrial disorders have a huge variety in their clinical presentation, making diagnostics challenging. Genomes of higher organisms contain around 95% non-protein-coding DNA. Recently, non-protein-coding sequences have been shown to affect gene expression in many cellular processes, including mitochondrial functioning. As these insights are not frequently incorporated in diagnostics we propose a workflow utilizing this knowledge for faster diagnostics of patients lacking a molecular diagnosis.We used RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to quantitate gene expression in total RNA extracts of vulnerable brain tissues from Alzheimer's disease (AD, frontal cortical ribbon) and Parkinson's disease (PD, ventral midbrain) subjects and phenotypically negative control subjects. Paired-end sequencing files were processed with HISAT2 aligner/Cufflinks quantitation against the hg38 human genome. We observed a significant decrease in gene expression of all mtDNA OXPHOS genes in AD and PD tissues. Gene expression of the master mitochondrial biogenesis regulator PGC-1α (PPARGC1A) was significantly reduced in AD; expression of genes for mitochondrial transcription factors A (TFAM) and B1/B2 (TFB1M/TFB2M) were not significantly changed in AD and PD tissues. 2-way ANOVAs showed significant reduction in AD brain Complex I subunits' expressions and nearly significant reductions in PD brain. We found a significant reduction in both AD and PD brain samples of expression of genes for leucine-rich pentatricopeptide repeat containing (LRPPRC, a.k.a. LRP130), a known mtRNA-stabilizing protein. Our findings suggest that AD and PD brain tissues have a reduction in mitochondrial
