Reactivation of Dihydroorotate Dehydrogenase-Driven Pyrimidine Biosynthesis Restores Tumor Growth of Respiration-Deficient Cancer Cells.

TL;DR: It is shown that pyrimidine biosynthesis dependent on respiration-linked dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) is required to overcome cell-cycle arrest, while mitochondrial ATP generation is dispensable for tumorigenesis, pointing to inhibitors of DHODH as potential anti-cancer agents.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selective elimination of senescent cells by mitochondrial targeting is regulated by ANT2.

TL;DR: The anticancer agent mitochondria-targeted tamoxifen (MitoTam), unlike conventional anticancer agents, kills cancer cells without inducing senescence in vitro and in vivo, and also selectively eliminates both malignant and non-cancerous senescent cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Replication and ribosomal stress induced by targeting pyrimidine synthesis and cellular checkpoints suppress p53-deficient tumors.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that inhibition of dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH), a key enzyme of the de novo pyrimidine synthesis pathway, effectively decreases proliferation of cancer cells via induction of replication and ribosomal stress in a p53- and checkpoint kinase 1 (Chk1)-dependent manner.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondria-driven elimination of cancer and senescent cells

TL;DR: In this article, mitochondria and OXPHOS were used for the selective removal of cancer and senescent cells, where the interplay between ATP transporters and mitochondria appeared important for the maintenance of mitochondrial morphology and viability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selective elimination of senescent cells by mitochondrial targeting is regulated via ANT2

TL;DR: The ability of MitoTam to eliminate senescent cells results in new strategy for treatment of age-related pathologies and senescence-associated inflammation or tumorigenesis.
