Abstract excerpt
We addressed the issue of whether enhanced glycolysis caused by mtDNA mutations independently induces metastasis in tumor cells using mtDNA transfer technology. The resultant trans-mitochondrial cybrids sharing the same nuclear background of poorly metastatic carcinoma P29 cells, P29mtA11 and P29mtDelta cybrids, possessed mtDNA with a G13997A mutation from highly metastatic carcinoma A11 cells and mtDNA with a...
