Identification of Biomarkers for Early Detection of Environmentally-Induced Mitochondrial Dysfunction (R01): This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) encourages grant applications from institutions/organizations to develop biomarkers of mitochondrial dysfunction using animal models and other experimental models that can help to identify environmental stressors that inhibit normal mitochondrial function, improve our mechanistic understanding of the effects of mitochondrial toxicants, and develop approaches and candidate markers that will serve as the basis for developing biomarkers of early mitochondrial dysfunction in human population studies linking exposure to disease. Mitochondrial biology is complex, with different responses to stressors, diet composition, and genetic factors observed in different tissues and at different stages of development. Before early biomarkers of mitochondrial dysfunction can be fully developed for human studies, a number of important issues need to be addressed, including enhancing the understanding of how the more severe effects on mitochondrial function in target tissues relate to milder effects in surrogate tissues, understanding whether alterations in mitochondrial endpoints are adaptive or adverse (transient or persistent) effects, and determining which endpoints signal early effects on mitochondrial function before more severe tissue phenotypes are apparent. Many of these questions can be addressed through development of relevant animal and other experimental models to identify robust markers of mitochondrial dysfunction associated with genetic and environmental factors.
