Baty,Lan-Feng Dong,Ayenachew Bezawork-Geleta,Berwini Endaya,Jacob Goodwin,Martina Bajzikova,Jaromira Kovarova,Martin Peterka,Bing Yan,Elham Alizadeh Pesdar,Margarita Sobol,Anatolyj Filimonenko,Shani Stuart,Magdalena Vondrusova,Katarina Kluckova,Karishma Sachaphibulkij,Jakub Rohlena,Pavel Hozák,Jaroslav Truksa,David Eccles,Larisa M. Haupt,Lyn R. Griffiths,Jiri Neuzil,Jiri Neuzil,Michael V. Berridge +25 more
TL;DR: This paper showed that tumor cells without mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) showed delayed tumor growth, and that tumor formation is associated with acquisition of mtDNA from host cells, leading to partial recovery of mitochondrial function in cells derived from primary tumors grown from cells without mtDNA and a shorter lag in tumor growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Horizontal transfer of whole mitochondria restores tumorigenic potential in mitochondrial DNA-deficient cancer cells.

TL;DR: Results show that intact mitochondria with their mtDNA payload are transferred in the developing tumour, and provide functional evidence for an essential role of oxidative phosphorylation in cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

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
MicroRNA-126 Suppresses Mesothelioma Malignancy by Targeting IRS1 and Interfering with the Mitochondrial Function
Marco Tomasetti,Linda Nocchi,Sara Staffolani,Nicola Manzella,Monica Amati,Jacob Goodwin,Katarina Kluckova,Maria Nguyen,Elisabetta Strafella,Martina Bajzikova,Martin Peterka,Sandra Lettlova,Jaroslav Truksa,Wan Lee,Lan-Feng Dong,Lory Santarelli,Jiri Neuzil +16 more
TL;DR: MiR126 affects mitochondrial energy metabolism, resulting in MM tumor suppression, and is of potential translational importance since MM is a fatal neoplastic disease with few therapeutic options.
Journal ArticleDOI
Horizontal transfer of mitochondria between mammalian cells: beyond co-culture approaches.
Michael V. Berridge,Melanie J. McConnell,Carole Grasso,Martina Bajzikova,Jaromira Kovarova,Jiri Neuzil,Jiri Neuzil +6 more
TL;DR: Evidence that mitochondrial DNA transfer occurs in vivo has now been published and it is possible that intercellular mitochondrial transfer is a fundamental physiological process with a role in development and tissue homeostasis.
