Expression of the mtHSPs (HSP60 and mtHSP70) was immunohistochemicall observed in biopsied limb muscles of genetically determined mitochondrial cytopathies (chronic progressive ophthalmoplegia 14, MELAS 4, limb girdle syndrome with the A-to-G transition at nt.3243 of tRNALeu(UUR), exertional myoglobinuria with multiple deletions of mtDNA 2, and Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy 2). mtHSP 70 and HSP 60 were strongly localized at ragged-red fibers. In strongly succinate dehydrogenase-reactive vessels of MELAS, mtHSP70 was expressed. GRP78 was expressed in the cytoplasmic body, which is often observed in this disorder. The present data suggest that expression of mtHSPs may reflect increased numbers of mitochondria, an impairment of assembly of mitochondrial proteins encoded by the genomic DNA and abnormal mitochondrial DNA, and/or an impaired mitochondrial function due to recurrent oxygen radical attacks against mitochondria.
