Mitochondrial encephalomyopathy and lactic acidosis with strokelike episodes ( MELAS) is a severe young onset stroke disorder without effective treatment. We have identified a MELAS patient harboring a 13528A -> G mitochondrial DNA ( mtDNA) mutation in the Complex I ND5 gene. This mutation was homoplasmic in mtDNA from patient muscle and nearly homoplasmic (99.9%) in blood. Fibroblasts from the patient exhibited decreased mitochondrial membrane potential (Delta psi(m)) and increased lactate production, consistent with impaired mitochondrial function. Transfer of patient mtDNA to a new nuclear background using transmitochondrial cybrid fusions confirmed the pathogenicity of the 13528A -> G mutation; Complex I-linked respiration and Delta psi(m) were both significantly reduced in patient mtDNA cybrids compared with controls. Inhibition of the adenine nucleotide translocase or the F1F0-ATPase with bongkrekic acid or oligomycin caused a loss of potential in patient mtDNA cybrid mitochondria, indicating a requirement for glycolytically generated ATP to maintain Delta psi(m). This was confirmed by inhibition of glycolysis with 2-deoxy-D-glucose, which caused depletion of ATP and mitochondrial depolarization in patient mtDNA cybrids. These data suggest that in response to impaired respiration due to the mtDNA mutation, mitochondria consume ATP to maintain Delta psi(m), representing a potential pathophysiological mechanism in human mitochondrial disease.
