<div>Abstract<p>Copper (Cu) is a cofactor of cytochrome c oxidase (CuCOX), indispensable for aerobic mitochondrial respiration. This study reveals that advanced clear cell renal carcinomas (ccRCC) accumulate Cu, allocating it to CuCOX. Using range orthogonal approaches, including metabolomics, lipidomics, isotope-labeled glucose and glutamine flux analysis, transcriptomics across tumor samples, lines, xenografts, patient-derived xenograft models, combined with genetic...
