Mitochondria are dynamic organelles whose morphology and activity are extremely
variable, depending on the metabolic state of the cell. In particular, their
shape and movements within the cell are finely regulated by an increasing number
of proteins, which take part in the process of mitochondrial fission/fusion and
connect the organelles to the cytoskeleton. As to their activities, mitochondria
are considered to be at the crossroad between cell life and death since, on the
one hand, they are essential in ATP production and in multiple metabolic pathways
but, on the other, they are involved in the intrinsic apoptotic cascade,
triggered by different stress conditions. Importantly, the process of
mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake, as well as the morphology and the dynamics of these
organelles, is known to deeply impact on both pro-survival and pro-death
mitochondrial activities. Recently, increasing evidence has accrued on a central
role of deregulated mitochondrial functionalities in the onset and progression of
different pathologies, ranging from neurodegenerative diseases to cancer. In this
contribution, we will present the latest findings connecting alterations in the
machineries that control mitochondrial dynamics and localization to specific
cancer hallmarks, highlighting the importance of mitochondria for the viability
of cancer cells and discussing their role as promising targets for the
development of novel anticancer therapies.
