Journal Article
Sánchez-Alvarez, R., De Francesco, E., Fiorillo, M., Sotgia, F., & Lisanti, M. (2020). Mitochondrial Fission Factor (MFF) inhibits mitochondrial metabolism and reduces breast cancer stem cell (CSC) activity. Frontiers in Oncology, 10, 1776. https://doi.org/10.3389/fonc.2020.01776

Elevated mitochondrial biogenesis and metabolism represent key features of breast cancer stem cells (CSCs), whose propagation is conducive to disease onset and progression. Therefore, interfering with mitochondria biology and function may be regarded...

Deferiprone (DFP) targets cancer stem cell (CSC) propagation by inhibiting mitochondrial metabolism and inducing ROS production (2020)
Journal Article
Fiorillo, M., Tóth, F., Brindisi, M., Sotgia, F., & Lisanti, M. (2020). Deferiprone (DFP) targets cancer stem cell (CSC) propagation by inhibiting mitochondrial metabolism and inducing ROS production. Cells, 9(6), e1529. https://doi.org/10.3390/cells9061529

Deferiprone (DFP), also known as Ferriprox, is an FDA-approved, orally active, iron chelator that is currently used clinically for the treatment of iron-overload, especially in thalassaemia major. As iron is a critical factor in Fe-S cluster assembly...

5-(carbamoylmethylene)-oxazolidin-2-ones as a promising class of heterocycles inducing apoptosis triggered by increased ROS levels and mitochondrial dysfunction in breast and cervical cancer (2020)
Journal Article
Armentano, B., Curcio, R., Brindisi, M., Mancuso, R., Rago, V., Ziccarelli, I., …Cappello, A. (2020). 5-(carbamoylmethylene)-oxazolidin-2-ones as a promising class of heterocycles inducing apoptosis triggered by increased ROS levels and mitochondrial dysfunction in breast and cervical cancer. Biomedicines, 8(2), e35. https://doi.org/10.3390/biomedicines8020035

Oxazolidinones are antibiotics that inhibit protein synthesis by binding the 50S ribosomal subunit. Recently, numerous worldwide researches focused on their properties and possible involvement in cancer therapy have been conducted. Here, we evaluated...
