2020, Forensic Science International: GeneticsCitation Excerpt :As early as 1999, Brenner et al. [24] described the presence of heteroplasmy after human ooplasmic transplantation (a technique developed in the late 90′s). In 2000, St John et al. [25] described the detection of paternal mtDNA after IVF and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) treatment. In 2001, Barritt et al. [26] stated that ooplasmic transfer from fertile donor oocytes into patient oocytes led to the birth of about 30 children.
Heredity and segregation of mtDNA
2020, The Human Mitochondrial Genome: From Basic Biology to DiseaseDelayed elimination of paternal mtDNA in the interspecific hybrid of Pelteobagrus fulvidraco and Pelteobagrus vachelli during early embryogenesis
2019, GeneCitation Excerpt :However, the offsprings of hybrid yellow catfish have a high rate of abnormal and defective embryos than the offsprings of P. fulvidraco, which directly increases the cost of artificial reproduction. Previous studies have indicated that the occurrence of abnormal or diseased phenotypes during embryogenesis was relevant to the failure of elimination of paternal mtDNA (St John et al., 2000; Hua et al., 2012). In our study, we attempted to investigate whether paternal mitochondria were not efficiently eliminated in hybrid yellow catfish when compared to P. fulvidraco, which may be a factor for a high malformation rate in hybrid yellow catfish.
The control of mtDNA replication during differentiation and development

2013, Journal of Genetics and GenomicsCitation Excerpt :In most mammals, along with the sperm genome, the sperm tail and midpiece are also incorporated into the oocyte during fertilization (Ankel-Simons and Cummins, 1996); however, it was also reported that due to the giant volume of the sperm midpiece and tail in Chinese hamster (Cricetulus griseus), its mitochondria remained outside the zygote after fertilization (Pickworth and Change, 1969; Yanagimachi et al., 1983). Although in some cases such as in mouse interspecies crossing (Gyllensten et al., 1991; Kaneda et al., 1995), and human abnormal embryos, paternal mtDNA was detected (St John et al., 2000), maternal mitochondrial inheritance is accepted as the most prevalent phenomenon in mammals. By utilizing immunofluorescence methods, sperm mitochondria ubiquitination during spermatogenesis was found in rhesus monkeys and cows, which suggested that the ubiquitin–proteasome-dependent proteolytic machinery might be involved in the degradation of sperm mitochondria after fertilization (Sutovsky et al., 1999).
