Background: Mitochondria have the profound impact on vascular function in both health and disease. However, mitochondrial genetic determinants for the development of hypertension remain poorly explored. Methods and results: The Sanger sequence analysis of 22 mitochondrial tRNA genes were performed in a cohort of 2070 Han Chinese hypertensive and 512 control subjects. This analysis identified 165 variants among 22 tRNA genes. These variants were evaluated for the pathogenicity using the following criteria: (1) present in <1% of the controls; (2) evolutional conservation; (3) potential structural and functional alterations. We identified 47 (5 known and 42 novel/putative) hypertension-associated tRNA variants in 80 hypertensive subjects. These variants could have potential structural alterations and functional significance of tRNAs. By using lymphoblastoid cell lines derived from 6 probands carrying one of 6 represented variants (tRNA(Ala) 5655T>C, tRNA(GlY) 10003T>C, tRNA(Leu(UUR)) 3253T>C, tRNA(AsP) 7551A>G, tRNA(Glu) 14692A>G, tRNA(Thr) 15909A>G) and 6 control subjects lacking these variants, we showed marked reductions in the steady-state level of corresponding 5 tRNA5, but not tRNA(Thr), in mutant cell lines, compared with control cells lines. The various decreases in the activities of complexes I, III and IV were observed in mutant cells carrying one of five tRNA variants, except tRNA(Thr) 15909A>G variant. The deficient respirations were responsible for the decrease in the mitochondrial ATP production and increasing production of reactive oxygen species in mutant cell lines carrying one of five tRNA variants. Conclusion: Mitochondrial tRNA variants are the important causes of hypertension, accounting for 3.9% cases of 2070 Han Chinese hypertensive subjects. Our findings may provide new insights into the pathophysiology of hypertension that were manifested by mitochondrial dysfunction. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. and Mitochondria Research Society.
