Sumario: | Cholesteatoma has attracted many studies seeking to uncover its nature and the pathogenesis of related diseases. However, no researchers have explored the mitochondrial bioenergetics of cholesteatoma. The aim of this study was to investigate the energy demand and differential mitochondrial respiration profiles between keratinocytes in external auditory canal (EAC) skin and cholesteatoma samples cultured in normoxic (20% O(2)) and hypoxic (5% O(2)) conditions. Enhanced cellular proliferation of both types of keratinocytes was found in hypoxia compared to normoxia. In 20% O(2) conditions, cholesteatoma keratinocytes exhibited less mitochondrial mass, lower ATP levels, and significantly lower basal oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and reserve capacity compared to normal skin keratinocytes. In contrast, in hypoxic conditions, cholesteatoma keratinocytes showed markedly higher levels in maximal OCR and reserve capacity, as well as lower proton leak OCRs, compared to normal skin keratinocytes. Hypoxia induced the reverse mitochondrial bioenergy profile from that in normoxia between these two types of keratinocytes, implying that an adaptive change of mitochondrial respiration to oxygen fluctuations may develop in cases of cholesteatoma. Such adaptation in response to hypoxic conditions may play a role in explaining the pathogenesis of acquired cholesteatoma. |
