A proposed model for the importance of the maintenance of mitochondrial fitness in the prevention of tumor initiation is shown. An increase of mitochondrial NAD+ level with NNT overexpression impairs SSEA1+ tumor-initiating cell’s (TIC’s) characteristics such as sphere-forming ability and glycolytic metabolic reprogramming to produce lactate.
