Many solid tumors exhibit abnormal aerobic metabolism characterized by increased glycolytic capacity and decreased cellular respiration. Recently, mutations in the nuclear encoded mitochondrial enzymes fumarate hydratase and succinate dehydrogenase have been identified in certain tumor types, thus demonstrating a direct link between mitochondrial energy metabolism and tumorigenesis. Although mutations in the mitochondrial genome (mitochondrial DNA, mtDNA) also can affect aerobic metabolism and mtDNA alterations are frequently observed in tumor cells, evidence linking respiratory chain deficiency in a specific tumor type to a specific mtDNA mutation has been lacking.
