Mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) cause a variety of pathologic states in human patients. Development of animal models harboring mtDNA mutations is crucial to elucidating pathways of disease and as models for preclinical assessment of therapeutic interventions. This review covers the knowledge gained through animal models of mtDNA mutations and the strategies used to produce them. Animals derived from spontaneous mtDNA mutations, somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), nuclear translocation of mitochondrial genes followed by mitochondrial protein targeting (allotopic expression), mutations in mitochondrial DNA polymerase gamma, direct microinjection of exogenous mitochondria, and cytoplasmic hybrid (cybrid) embryonic stem cells (ES cells) containing exogenous mitochondria (transmitochondrial cells) are considered. A wide range of strategies have been developed and utilized in attempts to mimic human mtDNA mutation in animal models. Use of these animals in research studies has shed light on mechanisms of pathogenesis in mitochondrial disorders, yet methods for engineering specific mtDNA sequences are still in development. Research animals containing mtDNA mutations are important for studies of the mechanisms of mitochondrial disease and are useful for development of clinical therapies.
