- Description: The cellular metabolic environemnt is influenced by relative levels of coexistant mutant and wild-type mitochondrial DNAs (heteorplasmy) in a range of diseases for which mitochondrial dysfunction is a feature. Disease phenotypes may be rescued by returning heteroplasmy towards wild-type levels. To investigate this approach, the team led by Payam Gammage have devised a series of cell lines which stably express stable levels of mutatnt m.8993T>G mtDNA heteroplasmy. Cell lines bearing m.8993T>G heteroplasmy of 80, 45, and 10% are available at CancerTools.org. These lines are derivatives of the m.8993T cybrid cell developed by Prof Eric Schon, and are of of 143B human osteosarcoma lineage. This is part of a series of three cell line (mTUNE); see Related research tools tab.
- Research area: Cancer; Metabolism
- Production details: mTUNE cells were generated by Dr Michal MinczukÄËĂÂĂÂs lab and derive from female human osteosarcoma 143B (RRID: CVCL_2270) cybrid cells (Porteous et al., 1998), after correction of m.8993T>G mutation with mitochondrially-targeted zinc finger nucleases (Gammage et al., 2016a). See Gaude et al., 2018 for further details.
- Additional notes: This is part of a series of three cell line (mTUNE); see Related Reagents tab.

Handling
- Format: Frozen
- Growth medium: Avoid unnecessary freeze/thaw cycles and keep passage duration to below 2-3 months to avoid heteroplasmy shifts.
