Mitochondria are central metabolic mediators, as cellular bioenergetics veers from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis. Herein, we evaluate the role of mitochondria in maintenance of cellular metabolism, proliferation, and survival in the adult granulosa tumor cell line, KGN, as well as three epithelial ovarian cancer cell lines to determine distinctions in specific features. Results Notably, KGN cells were susceptible to TRAIL- and cisplatin-induced death following pretreatment with the metabolic inhibitor FCCP, but not oligomycin A. Collapse of mitochondrial membrane potential was found concomitant with cell death via apoptosis, independent from extrinsic canonical apoptotic routes. Rather, treatment with FCCP resulted in elevated cytochrome c release from mitochondria and decreased responsiveness to gene, ( 0.05) changes in viability with treatment of inhibitor, and asterisks?(* 0.05) indicating significant changes in viability with treatment of cytotoxic agent. (A) Sequential treatment with FCCP and TRAIL resulted in decreases in culture viability over control samples. (B) Culture viability also decreased with FCCP treatment prior to addition of cisplatin.
