- Abstract
- A growing body of evidence indicates that mitochondria play a key role in many disorders as well as in cancer progression and response to treatment. Next to being the main cellular energy generator through respiration, mitochondria are also the major producer of superoxide and other downstream reactive oxygen species in the cell. In this thesis, we aimed to develop an integrated electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) toolbox enabling the assessment of mitochondrial (dys)function by measuring the oxygen consumption rate and superoxide production in a same cellular or mitochondrial preparation. This EPR toolbox was used for the benefit of two different projects: discovering potential radiosensitizers in anticancer therapy (like statins) and assessing the impact of agents such as Boscalid and Bixafen, which are succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHI), on the mitochondrial function of human cells.
