Project description:Mammalian PGC-1alpha, PGC-1beta and PRC are structurally related transcriptional coactivators, and are involved in multiple metabolic functions, including the regulation of mitochondrial biogenesis. However, due to redundancy, their in vivo roles are still poorly understood. By a genome-wide microarray study, we show that in the Drosophila larval fat body, Spargel (CG9809), the only fly PGC-1 family homologue, is required for proper expression of multiple genes encoding mitochondrial proteins. Experiment Overall Design: Six samples were analyzed in total: three biological replicates of the control (wt) and three biological replicates of the mutant (KG).

Project description:Mitochondria play an essential role in the ability of brown fat to generate heat, and the PGC-1 coactivators control several aspects of mitochondrial biogenesis. To investigate their specific roles in brown fat cells, we generated immortal preadipocyte lines from the brown adipose tissue of mice lacking PGC-1±. We could then efficiently knockdown PGC-1β expression by shRNA expression. Loss of PGC-1± did not alter brown fat differentiation but severely reduced the induction of thermogenic genes. Cells deficient in either PGC-1α or PGC-1β coactivators showed a small decrease in the differentiation-dependant program of mitochondrial biogenesis and respiration; however, this increase in mitochondrial number and function was totally abolished during brown fat differentiation when both PGC-1± and PGC-1 were deficient. These data show that PGC-1± is essential for brown fat thermogenesis but not brown fat differentiation, and the PGC-1 coactivators play an absolutely essential but complementary function in differentiation-induced mitochondrial biogenesis. Affymetrix microarray analysis of total RNA from wt, PGC-1± KO and PGC-1± KO; cells expressing an RNAi specific for PGC-1 knockdown was performed. Of the 461; mitochondrial genes analyzed, 181 were found to be at least 20% different between wt; and defective PGC-1± and β adipocytes (p < 0.05). More than 85% of these genes were downregulated in cells deficient for PGC-1alpha and PGC-1beta. Experiment Overall Design: Brown preadipocytes that were either WT, KO for PGC-1alpha, or KO for PGC-1alpha and deficient for PGC-1beta (knockdown through siRNA expression) were differentiated for seven days. RNA was made from biological replicates of the three different types of brown adipocytes (WT, KO expressing a control siRNA, KO expressing a siRNA specific for PGC-1beta knockdown).

Project description:Title: Total Skeletal Muscle PGC-1 Deficiency Uncouples Mitochondrial Derangements from Fiber Type Determination and Insulin Sensitivity Abstract: Evidence is emerging that the PGC-1 coactivators serve a critical role in skeletal muscle metabolism, function, and disease. Mice with total PGC-1 deficiency in skeletal muscle (PGC-1α-/- βf/f/MLC-Cre mice) were generated and characterized. PGC-1α-/-βf/f/MLC-Cre mice exhibit a dramatic reduction in exercise performance compared to single PGC-1α- or PGC-1β-deficient mice and wild-type controls. The exercise phenotype of the PGC-1α-/-βf/f/MLC-Cre mice was associated with a marked diminution in muscle oxidative capacity and mitochondrial structural derangements consistent with fusion/fission and biogenic defects together with rapid depletion of muscle glycogen stores during exercise. Surprisingly, the skeletal muscle fiber type profile of the PGC-1α-/-βf/f/MLCCre mice was not significantly different than the wild-type mice. Moreover, insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance were also not altered in the PGC-1α-/-βf/f/MLC-Cre mice. Taken together, we conclude that PGC-1 coactivators are necessary for the oxidative and mitochondrial programs of skeletal muscle but are dispensable for fundamental fiber type determination and insulin sensitivity. RNA from PGC-1alpha-/- beta f/f/Mlc1fcre was obtained and gene expression pattern compared with PGC-1alpha -/-, PGC-1beta f/f, and PGC-1beta f/f/Mlc1fCre controls. Results file descriptions: 1.

Project description:PGC-1s (PGC-1alpha and PGC-1beta) are transcriptional coactivators involved in mitochondrial biogenesis, metabolism, and antioxidant defense. Given the existing links between PGC-1s and aging, we wanted to investigate the contribution of PGC-1s to skin aging. Keratinocytes form a self-renewable layer that differentiate to generate full epidermis. Defects in keratinocyte metabolism related to aging or PGC-1s depletion could impair normal function of keratinocytes and contribute to skin thinning. We used microarrays to detail the global gene expression changes shared by the aging process and the depletion in PGC-1s.

Project description:We examined global gene expression patterns in response to PGC-1 expression in cells derived from liver or muscle. As our study revealed regulation of HSF1 by PGC-1alpha, in some experiments we knocked-down HSF1 using siRNAs in addition to inducing PGC-1alpha expression. Cells were grown in 24-well plates and adenoviruses encoding either GFP ("Ad-GFP"), PGC-1alpha ("Ad-PGC-1alpha") or PGC-1beta ("Ad-PGC-1beta") were directly added to the culture medium. For experiments involving siRNA transfections, cells were transfected with the indicated siRNAs 48hr prior to infection with adenoviruses encoding either GFP ("Ad-GFP") or PGC-1alpha ("Ad-PGC-1alpha").

Project description:To investigate the specific role of PGC-1 coactivators in brown fat cells, we generated immortal preadipocyte lines from the brown adipose tissue of mice lacking PGC-1alpha. We could then efficiently knockdown PGC-1beta expression by shRNA expression. Loss of PGC-1alpha did not alter brown fat differentiation but severly reduced the induction of thermogenic genes. In order to assess the specific requirement for PGC-1± in the global transcriptional response to cAMP, we used Affymetrix arrays to compare the sets of genes induced in response to a 4 hr dbcAMP treatment in differentiated wt and KO cells. This analysis revealed that 88 genes were induced more than 3-fold in the wt cells; of these, 54 (61% of total) were similarly increased in both wt and KO. However, 28 genes (32% of total) were decreased by at least 50% in the KO cells compared to wt cells. These data were confirmed by quantitative PCR for a subset of genes. These data indicate that PGC-1± is required for proper expression of approximately one third of the genes induced in response to cAMP in brown fat cells, but this set of sensitive genes is enriched in those involved in adaptative thermogenesis. Experiment Overall Design: WT and PGC-1alpha KO brown preadipocytes were differentiated into mature brown adipocytes for seven days. Cells were then treated with dibutyryl cAMP for four hours. Two replicates were made for each condition: WT non treated, WT treated with cAMP, KO non treated, KO treated with cAMP.

Project description:Mutations in the gene encoding lipin 1 cause hepatic steatosis in fld mice, a genetic model of lipodystrophy. Lipin 1 appears to be highly involved in the control of fatty acid metabolism. Lipin 1 is most often located in the nucleus, but other studies suggest that lipin also has effects in the cytoplasm. However, the molecular function of lipin 1 is unclear. To evaluate the effects of activation of the lipin 1 system in liver, lipin 1beta was overexpressed in mouse liver using an adenoviral vector. We found that lipin 1 overexpression increased the expression of many genes involved in mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation while repressing expression of genes involved in lipogenesis. We believe that lipin is a transcriptional coactivator of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) complex. However, the many molecular aspects of its function remain unclear. Abstract of published manuscript follows:; Lipin 1 is an inducible amplifier of the hepatic PGC-1alpha/PPARalpha regulatory pathway.Finck BN, Gropler MC, Chen Z, Leone TC, Croce MA, Harris TE, Lawrence JC Jr, Kelly DP. Center for Cardiovascular Research and Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, Missouri 63110; Department of Medicine, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, Missouri 63110. Perturbations in hepatic lipid homeostasis are linked to the development of obesity-related steatohepatitis. Mutations in the gene encoding lipin 1 cause hepatic steatosis in fld mice, a genetic model of lipodystrophy. However, the molecular function of lipin 1 is unclear. Herein, we demonstrate that the expression of lipin 1 is induced by peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) coactivator 1alpha (PGC-1alpha), a transcriptional coactivator controlling several key hepatic metabolic pathways. Gain-of-function and loss-of-function strategies demonstrated that lipin selectively activates a subset of PGC-1alpha target pathways, including fatty acid oxidation and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, while suppressing the lipogenic program and lowering circulating lipid levels. Lipin activates mitochondrial fatty acid oxidative metabolism by inducing expression of the nuclear receptor PPARalpha, a known PGC-1alpha target, and via direct physical interactions with PPARalpha and PGC-1alpha. These results identify lipin 1 as a selective physiological amplifier of the PGC-1alpha/PPARalpha-mediated control of hepatic lipid metabolism. Experiment Overall Design: Adult male C57BL6 mice were injected with adenovirus driving expression of mouse lipin 1beta or green fluorescent protein (GFP). Mice were recovered and sacrificed 6 days after injection. Total RNA was isolated and analyzed using Affymetrix microarray.

Project description:The present study examines the impact of altering energy provision on mitochondrial biogenesis in muscle cells. C2C12 myoblasts were chronically treated with supraphysiological levels of sodium pyruvate for 72 hr. Treated cells exhibited increased mitochondrial protein expression, basal respiratory rate and maximal oxidative capacity. The increase in mitochondrial biogenesis was independent of increases in PGC-1alpha and PGC-1alpha mRNA expression. To further assess whether PGC-1alpha expression was necessary for pyruvate action, cells were infected with adenovirus containing shRNA for PGC-1alpha prior to treatment with pyruvate. Despite a 70% reduction in PGC-1alpha mRNA the effect of pyruvate was preserved. Furthermore, pyruvate induced mitochondrial biogenesis in primary myoblasts from PGC-1alpha null mice. These data suggest that regulation of mitochondrial biogenesis by pyruvate in myoblasts is independent of PGC-1alpha, suggesting the existence of a novel energy-sensing pathway regulating oxidative capacity.

Project description:Decreased mitochondrial mass and function in muscle of diabetic patients is associated with low PGC-1alpha, a transcriptional coactivator of the mitochondrial gene program. To investigate whether reduced PGC-1alpha and oxidative capacity in muscle directly contributes to age-related glucose intolerance, we compared the genetic signatures and metabolic profiles of aging mice lacking muscle PGC-1alpha. Microarray analysis revealed that a significant proportion of PGC-1alpha-dependent changes in gene expression overlapped with age-associated effects, and aging muscle and muscle lacking PGC-1alpha shared gene signatures of impaired electron transport chain activity and TGFbeta signalling.
