Reprogramming of energy metabolism is a hallmark of cancer. Mutations in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) might contribute to cancer development and progression. We analyzed mitochondrial respiration of fresh malignant and non-malignant prostate tissue samples obtained from 50 prostate cancer patients via High-Resolution Respirometry (HRR), determined mtDNA copy numbers by duplex qPCR, sequenced the whole mtDNAs using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) and analyzed expression of mitochondria-related genes in a subset of 16 cases by RNA-sequencing. HRR uncovered a shift of respiratory activity from mitochondrial complex I to complex II accompanied by a substrate shift toward higher respiratory activity elicited especially by succinate and pyruvate. The mutation load was significantly higher in tumor tissue compared to the non-malignant counterpart. Heteroplasmy levels of potentially deleterious mutations in mtDNA genes correlated significantly with reduced complex I respiration capacity. RNA-seq revealed a signature of differentially expressed metabolic enzymes in tumors exhibiting a severe compared to a mild complex CI mt-phenotype. The gene signature corresponded to observed altered substrates effects on respiration, e.g. increased pyruvate and citrate and decreased glutamate oxidation.
