| Core Tip |
This minireviews highlights the emerging roles of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in colorectal cancer beyond its role in energy metabolism. Three interrelated domains are focused on in this paper: (1) Cell-free mtDNA as a liquid biopsy biomarker of exceptional sensitivity; (2) Nuclear mtDNA fragments as a component of genomic instability; and (3) Mitochondria-derived peptides, such as humanin and mitochondrial open reading frame of the 12S rRNA type-c, as regulators of tumour behaviour. These insights reveal novel diagnostic and therapeutic potential by targeting mitochondrial-nuclear cross-talk in colorectal cancer. |
