Mitochondrial DNA Alterations Underlie an Irreversible Shift to Aerobic Glycolysis in Fumarate Hydratase-deficient Renal Cancer


ABSTRACT: Understanding the mechanisms of the Warburg shift to aerobic glycolysis is central to defining the metabolic basis of cancer. Hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell carcinoma (HLRCC) is an aggressive cancer characterized by bi-allelic inactivation of the gene encoding the Krebs cycle enzyme fumarate hydratase, an early shift to aerobic glycolysis, and rapid metastasis. We observed of the mitochondrial in tumors from HLRCC patients. Biochemical and transcriptomics analyses revealed that respiratory chain dysfunction in the tumors was due to loss of expression of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)-encoded subunits of respiratory chain complexes, caused by a marked decrease in mtDNA content and increased mtDNA mutations. We demonstrated that accumulation of fumarate in HLRCC tumors inactivated the core factors responsible for replication and proofreading of mtDNA, leading to loss of expression of respiratory chain components, thereby promoting the shift to aerobic glycolysis and disease progression in this prototypic model of glucose-dependent human cancer.
