Stimulation of Mitochondrial Activity by p43 Overexpression Induces Human Dermal Fibroblast Transformation

Abstract: Mitochondrial dysfunctions are frequently reported in cancer cells, but their direct involvement in tumorigenesis remains unclear. To understand this relation, we stimulated mitochondrial activity by overexpression of the mitochondrial triiodothyronine receptor (p43) in human dermal fibroblasts. In all clones, this stimulation induced morphologic changes and cell fusion in myotube-like structures associated with the expression of several muscle-specific genes (Myf 5, desmin, connectin, myosin, AchRa). In addit… Show more

“…Interestingly, MAFA could also be an indirect target of p43. Indeed, this hypothesis is supported by our previous data indicating that p43 alters ROS production [24], which are known to regulate MAFA protein stability [25]. Last, the observation that the pancreatic phenotype does not worsen with age in p43−/− mice is in accordance with the fact that TRα is weakly expressed in adult mice.…”

“…p43 has been shown to control mitochondrial biogenesis in cultured cells [12], [22] and in skeletal muscle [14], [16]. In order to evaluate the influence of p43 deletion on structure of mitochondria in Sertoli and germ cells we performed electron microscopy.…”

“…In addition, the alteration of mitochondrial morphology observed in p43−/− Sertoli cells is associated with a deregulation of expression of genes which are involved in mitochondrial function. The p43 receptor is known to act as a T3-dependent transcription factor of the mitochondrial genome, which regulates the synthesis of mitochondrial proteins, oxygen consumption and the activities of the complexes of the respiratory chain [12], [13], [22]. In testis, we have measured the expression level of 84 genes involved in various cellular functions of mitochondria including regulators and mediators of mitochondrial molecular transport, metabolites needed for the electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation, intrinsic apoptosis pathway genes activated by intracellular damage signalling.…”

“…Although the role of mitochondria was long thought to be restricted to an influence on fuel metabolism, the importance of the activity of these organelles has more recently been extended to the regulation of developmental processes. Indeed, mitochondria play a key role in cell survival as well as in the induction of apoptosis (Kroemer G, 2003), cell differentiation Seyer et al, 2006) and cell transformation (Grandemange et al, 2005). Mitochondria have their own genome (mt-DNA) and specific mechanisms for replication, transcription and protein synthesis.…”
