摘要:

细胞中的线粒体在细胞的能量代谢等功能中发挥了重要的作用。 人类的肿瘤形成与线粒体DNA (mtDNA)存在着复杂的关联, 在多种癌细胞中均检测到mtDNA的突变。文章综述了癌细胞中的mtDNA突变与癌症发 生的相关性, 并讨论了部分突变产生的原因及在癌症中进行mtDNA突变检测的应用前景。

Abstract:

Mitochondria are essential organelles that generate cellular energy in cells. Mutations of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have been identified in various types of cancer, suggesting a complex relationship between mtDNA and cancer. This review focuses on the possible correlation between the mtDNA mutation and cancer. Additionally, possible causes for mtDNA mutations and applications for detecting mtDNA mutations in cancer are discussed.
