Mitochondrial Aconitase ACO2 Links Iron Homeostasis with Tumorigenicity in Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer
10 Oct 2022
Abstract excerpt
The ability of a patient tumor to engraft an immunodeficient mouse is the strongest known independent indicator of poor prognosis in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Analysis of primary NSCLC proteomes revealed low-level expression of mitochondrial aconitase (ACO2) in the more aggressive, engrafting tumors. Knockdown of ACO2 protein expression transformed immortalized lung epithelial cells, whereas...
