Abstract
The mechanisms of compromised mitochondrial function under various pathological conditions, including hypoxia, remain largely unknown. Recent studies have shown that microRNA-210 (miR-210) is induced by hypoxia under the regulation of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α and has an important role in cell survival under hypoxic microenvironment. Hence, we hypothesized that miR-210 has a role in regulating mitochondrial metabolism and investigated miR-210 effects on mitochondrial function in cancer cell lines under normal and hypoxic conditions. Our results demonstrate that miR-210 decreases mitochondrial function and upregulates the glycolysis, thus make cancer cells more sensitive to glycolysis inhibitor. miR-210 can also activate the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). ISCU (iron-sulfur cluster scaffold homolog) and COX10 (cytochrome c oxidase assembly protein), two important factors of the mitochondria electron transport chain and the tricarboxylic acid cycle have been identified as potential targets of miR-210. The unique means by which miR-210 regulates mitochondrial function reveals an miRNA-mediated link between microenvironmental stress, oxidative phosphorylation, ROS and iron homeostasis.Keywords
