摘要: The recently discovered mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) promotes Ca(2+) accumulation into the matrix. We identified in silico miR-25 as a cancer-related MCU-targeting microRNA family and demonstrate that its overexpression HeLa cells drastically reduces MCU levels uptake, while leaving other parameters cytosolic signals unaffected. In human colon cancers cancer-derived cells, is overexpressed accordingly silenced. miR-25-dependent reduction of uptake correlates with resistance to apoptotic challenges can be reversed by anti-miR-25 overexpression. Overall, data targeting signaling favors cancer cell survival, thus providing mechanistic insight role mitochondria tumorigenesis identifying novel therapeutic target neoplasia.
