Mitochondria: from bioenergetics to the metabolic regulation of carcinogenesis.

Abstract excerpt

In this review, we discuss the concept of metabolic remodeling and signaling in tumors, specifically the various metabolites that participate in the regulation of gene expression in cancer cells. In particular, pyruvate, oxaloacetate, succinate and fumarate, four mitochondrial metabolites, activate genes relevant for tumor progression. When the balance between glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation is altered,...
