“…Furthermore, maintenance of quiescence and escape of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) from quiescence requires mitochondrial Ca 2+ uptake (Resende et al, 2010;Umemoto et al, 2018;Ahumada-Castro et al, 2021;Paliwal et al, 2021). Inhibition of cell proliferation by MCU-KO is consistent with anti-proliferative effects of MCU suppression in cancer cells (Cardenas et al, 2016;Ren et al, 2017;Li et al, 2020b;Liu et al, 2020;Wang et al, 2020;Miao et al, 2021;Wu et al, 2021;, although this has not been universally observed (Curry et al, 2013;Hall et al, 2014;Tosatto et al, 2016;Young et al, 2022). Despite slower tumor growth in xenografts, proliferation in vitro of several breast cancer cell lines were independent of MCU (Tosatto et al, 2016), and it has been reported that stable deletion of MCU in HEK293T and HeLa cell lines resulted in enhanced cell proliferation (Young et al, 2022).…”
