Abstract
The present disclosure provides a method for producing a cell with exogenous mitochondria by obtaining synthetic mitochondria via introduction of exogenous mitochondrial DNA into mitochondria or empty mitochondrial shells, and incorporating the same into mammalian cells via endocytosis. As such, effective functionality of exogenous mitochondria in cells is realized. The synthetic mitochondrial DNA genes introduced according to the present disclosure can be stably expressed and effectively passaged. The method for introducing exogenous mitochondrial DNA into mammalian cells as disclosed herein may be used as a whole new mitochondrial molecular cloning means to perform site-directed mutagenesis, gene insertion, gene knockout, gene rearrangement, and the like in mitochondria. Therefore, any molecular cloning modification can be performed on a mammalian mitochondrial DNA, which is of great importance to therapeutic schemes of diseases derived from mitochondrial DNA mutations.
