It is now recognized that mitochondria play a crucial role in tumorigenesis; however, it has become clear that tumor metabolism varies significantly between cancer types. The failure of recent clinical trials aimed at directly targeting tumor respiration through oxidative phosphorylation inhibitors underscores the critical need for further studies providing an in-depth evaluation of mitochondrial bioenergetics. Accordingly, we comprehensively assessed the bulk tumor and mitochondrial metabolic phenotype in murine HER2-driven mammary cancer tumors and benign mammary tissue. Transcriptomic and proteomic profiling revealed a broad downregulation of mitochondrial genes/proteins in tumors, including OXPHOS subunits comprising Complexes I–IV. Despite reductions in tumor mitochondrial proteins, mitochondrial respiration was several-fold higher compared to benign mammary tissue, which persisted regardless of normalization method (wet weight, total protein content, and when corrected for mitoch
