Polo-like kinases mediate cell survival in mitochondrial dysfunction

Abstract: Cancer cells often display defects in mitochondrial respiration, thus the identification of pathways that promote cell survival under this metabolic state may have therapeutic implications. Here, we report that the targeted ablation of mitochondrial respiration markedly increases expression of Polo-like kinase 2 (PLK2) and that it is required for the in vitro growth of these nonrespiring cells. Furthermore, we identify PLK2 as a kinase that phosphorylates Ser-137 of PLK1, which is sufficient to mediate this su… Show more

“…Because metformin has pleiotropic effects on cells, we utilized a pair of isogenic respiratory-proficient and -deficient cell lines to demonstrate that its antiproliferation effect acts via inhibition of respiration. Metformin inhibited the proliferation of wild-type human colon cancer HCT116 cells, but did not markedly affect nonrespiring cells with homozygous deletion of synthesis of cytochrome c oxidase 2 (SCO2 -/-), an essential factor for the assembly of respiratory complex IV (Figure 2A) (20). In parallel, metformin reproduced the in vivo cell signaling changes caused by mitochondrial disruption only in respiring SCO2 +/+ cells ( Figure 2B).…”

“…Disruption of SCO2 eliminates mitochondrial respiration, 31 and overexpression of SCO2 augments mitochondrial respiration. 13 We showed, using SCO2 (ϩ/Ϫ) mice, the marked decreases in SCO2 expression and mitochondrial respiration compared with the wild-type mice ( Figure 5).…”

“…Therefore, studying bioenergetics in intact cells may provide a more physiological view of mitochondrial function. Recently, bioenergetic profiling of intact cells has been described in multiple cell lines (1,9,14,16) and primary cells (6,7,10,11,20,21,28) using a microplate-based system that measures extracellular flux (XF). This automated system measures the two major cellular energyproducing pathways, glycolysis and mitochondrial respiration.…”
