Effectors Enabling Adaptation to Mitochondrial Complex I Loss in Hürthle Cell Carcinoma

HCC harbors abundant mitochondria, mitochondrial DNA mutations, and chromosomal losses. Using a CRISPR-Cas9 screen inspired by transcriptomic and metabolomic profiling, we identify molecular effectors essential for cell fitness. We uncover lipid peroxide stress as a vulnerability coupled to mitochondrial complex I loss in HCC. See related article by Frank et al., p. 1884.
