Mitochondrial function and cancer Douglas C. Wallace In addition to compartmentalizing the metabolic pathways and physiological states glycolytic metabolism and the continued use of oxygen. Mutations that occur in of the cell, mitochondria generate much of the cellular energy, regulate the cellular nuclear-DNA-encoded mitochondrial proteins and mitochondrial-DNA-encoded oxidation–reduction (redox) state, produce most of the cellular reactive oxygen proteins can re-orient cellular metabolism towards glycolysis, glutaminolysis, species (ROS), buffer cellular Ca2+ and initiate cellular apoptosis. Mitochondria intense macromolecular biogenesis and the oxidoreduction of NADP+ to NADPH. were first proposed to be relevant to cancer by Otto Warburg who reported that Both somatic and germline mitochondrial DNA mutations have been associated cancer cells exhibited “aerobic glycolysis”. Although this was originally interpreted with many types of cancers, and recent data indicate that cancer cells may tolerate as indicating that the function of the mitochondria was defective, we now mitochondrial DNA mutations for two purposes: they alter cancer cell metabolism CANCER understand that cancer cells are in an altered metabolic state with increased and/or proliferation and they enable adaption to a changing environment.

AKT phosphorylates and Pi Nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase (NNT) uses the by the switch from pyruvate kinase isoform M1 inactivates FOXO, downregulating PGC1α and reducing mitochondrial biogenesis. Activation of MYC induces ADP ATP energy of the mitochondrial membrane potential to transfer (PKM1) to PKM2, which is regulated by growth glutaminolysis, in which glutamine is converted to α-ketoglutarate (αKG). Reductive carboxylation of αKG to Cu–ZnSOD O ·– reducing equivalents from NADP+ to NADPH. The increased ROS 2 H+ factors and tyrosine phosphorylation.

Mutant IDH1 or IDH2 oxidize NADPH back to NADP and reduce αKG to R(–)-2-hydroxyglutarate CoQ F0 ANT change the thiol-disulfide balance of amino acids in pyruvate to lactate to generate ATP. However, I III ((R)-2HG), an oncometabolite that affects DNA and histone methylation and HIF1α activity.

FH mutation causes the accumulation of succinate and fumarate, NAD+ O2 ATP Cytosolic NADPH can be generated by the pathway to generate NADPH and bolstering NADH MnSOD both of which can inhibit prolyl hydroxylases (PHDs) and stabilize HIF1α. In addition, O2 BCL-2 pentose phosphate shunt, by the antioxidant defences. fumarate can succinylate and inactivate KEAP1, resulting in the activation of NRF2.

In the cytosol, citrate is cleaved by ATP-dependent citrate lyase to Isocitrate ATP-citrate oxaloacetate (OAA) and acetyl-CoA.
