Specific mtDNA mutations in mouse carcinoma cells suppress their tumor formation via activation of the host innate immune system.

Specific mtDNA mutations in mouse carcinoma cells suppress their tumor formation via activation of the host innate immune system.

In mammalian species, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) with pathogenic mutations that induce mitochondrial respiration defects has been proposed to be involved in tumor phenotypes via induction of enhanced glycolysis under normoxic conditions (the Warburg effects). However, because both nuclear DNA and mtD...
