Progress in mitoepigenetic regulation and Alzheimer disease / 中国病理生理杂志

ABSTRACT

Mitochondrion is an organelle containing its own genome in eukaryotic cells , which encodes 37 genes involved in mitochondrial functions .Mitoepigenetic regulation is a major form of mitochondrial genome-encoded genes that regulates the expression levels without altering the sequences of the genes .The mitoepigenetic regulation is involved in the occurrence and development of various diseases .This paper reviews the progress of mitoepigenetic regulation and Alzhe-imer disease.
