miR-210 and mitochondrial activity regulation. miR-210 inhibits mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation inhibiting a series of targets: ISCU1 and ISCU2, participating in the assembly of iron sulfur (FeS)clusters, that, in turn, are present in several electron transport chain and TCA cycle components; COX10, a component of mitochondrial complex I and complex IV; FECH, which is the last enzyme in heme biosynthesis; SDHD, one of the subunits of the inner mitochondrial enzyme succinate dehydrogenase that catalyzes the oxidation of succinate to fumarate during mitochondrial respiration. The inhibition of PHDs by succinate and by GPD1L, which feedback to HIF1A, is also shown.
