Profiling of EMT-associated mitochondrial RNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma cells
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Mitochondria, the powerhouse of the cell, has been recognized as the key players in cancer cell biology, including cancer metabolism, metastasis, and drug resistance. Recent studies have demonstrated a functional interplay between mitochondria and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in cancer. To delineate the role of mitochondrial components in this interplay, we induced the EMT in hepatoma HepG2 cells. Mitochondria was isolated from EMT-HepG2 cells, untreated HepG2 cells, and normal hepatic HL7702 cells. Mitochondrial RNAs were isolated for Illumina sequencing. Identification of mitochondrial RNAs that regulate EMT or mitochondria function may serve as potential therapeutic targets for developing new strategies to treat cancers.
