Abstract

Reprogramming of energy metabolism is one of the hallmarks of cancer. In normal conditions, cells rely on mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation to provide energy for cellular activities. Cancer cells are characterized by increased glycolysis and reduced mitochondrial respiratory function. In the past decade, somatic mitochondrial DNA alterations are found to be common in all types of cancers. However, the functional significance of the altered cancer mitochondria is largely unknown. This is because the bulk of cancer properties are regulated by nuclear encoded genes. To overcome this problem, the transmitochondrial cybrid system, which allows the study of the effect of cancer mitochondria in a common nuclear background, has been used. Here we review the accumulating evidence that altered cancer mitochondria affect the respiratory chain function and oncogenic properties in vitro and in vivo using cybrid technologies.

Cancer Metabolism

In order for cancer cells to maintain rapid, uncontrolled cell proliferation, they must acquire a source of energy. Cancer cells acquire metabolic energy from their surrounding environment and utilize the host cell nutrients to do so. Here is the latest research on cancer metabolism.
