Abstract excerpt
We have investigated mechanisms of mitochondrial stress-induced phenotypic changes and cell invasion in tumorigenic but poorly invasive human pulmonary carcinoma A549 cells that were partly depleted of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Depletion of mtDNA (genetic stress) caused a markedly lower electron transport-coupled ATP synthesis, loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, elevation of steady state [Ca(2+)](c), and...
