Mitochondrial biogenesis requires the expression of genes encoded by both the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes. However, aside from a handful transcription factors regulating specific subsets of mitochondrial genes, the overall architecture of the transcriptional control of mitochondrial biogenesis remains to be elucidated. The mechanisms coordinating these two genomes are largely unknown.

Heterozygosity for loss-of-function alleles of the genes encoding the four subunits of succinate dehydrogenase (SDHA, SDHB, SDHC, SDHD), as well as the SDHAF2 assembly factor predispose affected individuals to pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL), two rare neuroendocrine tumors that arise from neural crest-derived paraganglia. Tumorigenesis results from loss of the remaining functional SDHx gene copy, leading to a cell with no functional SDH and a defective tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. It is believed that the subsequent accumulation of succinate competitively inhibits multiple dioxygenase enzymes that normally suppress hypoxic signaling and demethylate histones and DNA, ultimately leading to increased expression of genes involved in angiogenesis and cell proliferation.

Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH)-deficient renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a rare subtype of RCC characterized by the presence of a germline mutation in one of the four subunits of the SDH enzyme complex (SDHA, SDHB, SDHC and SDHD). Together with a somatic second hit, these variants lead to the loss of function of the SDH complex. SDH-deficient RCC associated with SDHA mutation is a rare condition; to the best of our knowledge, there have been only four patients reported in the literature.

Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological features, immunophenotypes, molecular genetic alterations, and prognosis of succinate dehydrogenase-deficient renal cell carcinoma (SDH-RCC).
Methods: A total of 11 cases of SDH-RCC diagnosed at West China Hospital, Sichuan University between 2016 and 2023 were selected for clinicopathological, immunohistochemical, and DNA sequencing analyses.
Results: Among the 11 cases of SDH-RCC, there were 5 male patients and 6 female patients.

Objectives: Deficiency in the transcription factor (TF) GLI-Similar 3 (GLIS3) in humans and mice leads to the development of polycystic kidney disease (PKD). In this study, we investigate the role of GLIS3 in the regulation of energy metabolism and mitochondrial functions in relation to its role in normal kidney and metabolic reprogramming in PKD pathogenesis.
Methods: Transcriptomics, cistromics, and metabolomics were used to obtain insights into the role of GLIS3 in the regulation of energy homeostasis and mitochondrial metabolism in normal kidney and PKD pathogenesis using GLIS3-deficient mice.
