摘要: Mitochondria-encoded Cytochrome B (CYTB) gene mutations were reported in different cancers, but the effect of these on cellular metabolism and growth is unknown. In a murine xenograft human model bladder cancer, we show functional overexpression 21-bp deletion mutation (mt) CYTB. Overexpression mtCYTB generated increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) accompanied by consumption lactate production. MtCYTB induced significant tumor vitro vivo triggering rapid cell cycle progression through up-regulation nuclear factor-kappa B2 signaling pathway. Tumor-generated ROS lysis normal splenocytes. Thus, present physiologic evidence for role bona fide mitochondrial cancer.
