ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

Research on circulating mitochondrial DNA (cir-mtDNA) based diagnostic is insufficient, as to its function, origin, structural features, and particularly its standardization of isolation. To date, plasma preparation performed in previous studies do not take into consideration the potential bias resulting from the release of mitochondria by activated platelets.

METHODS:

To tackle this, we compared the mtDNA amount determined by a standard plasma preparation method or a method optimally avoiding platelet activation. MtDNA extracted from the plasma of seven healthy individuals was quantified by Q-PCR in the course of the process of both methods submitted to filtration, freezing or differential centrifugation.

RESULTS:

98.7 to 99.4% of plasma mtDNA corresponded to extracellular mitochondria, either free or into large extracellular vesicles. Without platelet activation, the proportion of both types of entities remained preponderant (76-80%), but the amount of detected mtDNA decreased 67-fold.

CONCLUSION:

We show the high capacity of platelets to release free mitochondria in "in vitro" conditions. This represents a potent confounding factor when extracting mtDNA for cir-mtDNA investigation. Platelet activation during pre-analytical conditions should therefore be avoided when studying cir-mtDNA. Our findings lead to a profound revision of the assumptions previously made by most works in this field. Overall, our data suggest the need to characterize or isolate mtDNA associated various structural forms, as well as to standardize plasma preparation, to better circumscribe cir-mtDNA's diagnostic capacity.
