Transcriptome-Wide Analysis of PGC-1α-Binding RNAs Identifies Genes Linked to Glucagon Metabolic Action

ABSTRACT: PGC-1α is a transcriptional coactivator that controls expression of metabolic/energetic genes programming cellular responses to nutrient and environmental adaptations such as fasting, cold or exercise. Unlike most other coactivators, PGC-1α contains protein domains involved in RNA binding and processing such as serine/arginine (SR) and RNA Recognition (RRM) motifs. However, little is known regarding the specific RNAs that bind PGC-1α to possibly control specific metabolic and energetic functions. To address this, we have performed single-end enhanced crosslinking and immunoprecipitation (seCLIP)-based transcriptome-wide analysis to identify specific RNA sequences that bind to PGC-1α. Primary hepatocytes were used to perform seCLIP experiments with glucagon-induced endogenous PGC-1α. RNA sequencing reveals that a large fraction of the RNAs bound to PGC-1α were intronic sequences related to genes involved in transcriptional, signaling or metabolic function linked to glucagon and fasting responses, but were not the canonical direct transcriptional targets of PGC-1α, such as OXPHOS or gluconeogenic genes. Validation of this analysis confirmed that among the top scoring RNA sequences bound to PGC-1α were Sik1, Camk1d, Ppard, Klf15, Gfra1 and Slc25a25. PGC-1α depletion decreased a fraction of mRNA transcript levels of these glucagon-induced genes. Importantly, knock-down of these genes affected glucagon-dependent glucose production, a PGC-1α-regulated metabolic pathway. These studies show that PGC-1α largely binds to intronic RNA sequences, some of them controlling transcript levels associated with glucagon action.

RNA-bound PGC-1α controls gene expression in liquid-like nuclear condensates

Project description:The peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) integrates environmental cues by controlling complex transcriptional networks in various metabolically active tissues. However, it is unclear how a transcriptional coregulator coordinates dynamic biological programs in response to multifaceted stimuli such as endurance training or fasting. Here, we discovered a central function of the poorly understood C-terminal domain (CTD) of PGC-1α to bind RNAs and assemble multi-protein complexes. Surprisingly, in addition to controlling the coupling of transcription and processing of target genes, RNA binding is indispensable for the recruitment of PGC-1α to chromatin into liquid-like nuclear condensates, which compartmentalize and regulate active transcription. These results demonstrate a hitherto unsuspected molecular mechanism by which complexity in the regulation of large transcriptional networks by PGC-1α is achieved. These findings are not only essential for the basic understanding of transcriptional coregulator-driven control of biological programs, but will also help to devise new strategies to modulate these processes in pathological contexts in which PGC-1α function is dysregulated, such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases or skeletal muscle wasting.

The master energy homeostasis regulator PGC-1α couples transcriptional co-activation and mRNA nuclear export

Project description:PGC-1α plays a central role in maintaining the mitochondrial and energy metabolism homeostasis, linking external stimuli to the transcriptional co-activation of genes involved in adaptive and age-related pathways. The carboxyl-terminus encodes a serine/arginine-rich (RS) region and a putative RNA recognition motif, however potential RNA-processing role(s) have remained elusive for the past 20 years. Here, we show that the RS domain of human PGC-1α directly interacts with RNA and the nuclear RNA export factor NXF1. Inducible depletion of endogenous PGC-1α and expression of RNAi-resistant RS-deleted PGC-1α further demonstrate that the RNA-binding activity is required for nuclear export of co-activated transcripts and mitochondrial homeostasis. Moreover, a quantitative proteomics approach confirmed PGC-1α-dependent RNA transport and mitochondrial-related functions, identifying also novel mRNA nuclear export targets in age-related telomere maintenance. Discovering a novel function for a major cellular homeostasis regulator provides new directions to further elucidate the roles of PGC-1α in gene expression, metabolic disorders, ageing and neurodegenerative diseases.

Control of secreted protein gene expression and the mammalian secretome by the metabolic regulator PGC-1a

Project description:Secreted proteins serve pivotal roles in the development of multicellular organisms, acting as structural matrix, extracellular enzymes and signal molecules. In this study we demonstrate, unexpectedly, that PGC-1α, a critical transcriptional co-activator of metabolic gene expression, functions to down-regulate expression of diverse genes encoding secreted molecules and extracellular matrix (ECM) components to modulate the secretome. We show that both endogenous and exogenous PGC-1α down-regulate expression of numerous genes encoding secreted molecules. Mechanistically, results obtained using mRNA stability measurements as well as intronic RNA expression analysis are consistent with a transcriptional effect of PGC-1α on expression of genes encoding secreted proteins. Interestingly, PGC-1α requires the central heat shock response regulator HSF1 to affect some of its targets, and both factors co-reside on several target genes encoding secreted molecules in cells. Finally, using a mass spectrometric analysis of secreted proteins, we demonstrate that PGC-1α modulates the secretome of mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs).

PGC-1a isoform-specific nuclear interactome

Project description:PGC-1α (Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1alpha) coactivators regulate adaptive gene expression in response to challenges such as cold exposure, fasting, or physical exercise to balance energy supply and demand. Transcription of a single PGC-1α gene produces different isoforms (e.g. PGC-1α1 to α4) with different biological functions. We aimed to characterize the nuclear interactome for each PGC-1α variant, in particular the transcription factors they bind to regulate gene expression. This was done by generating GST-fusions of all PGC-1a variants, expressed in an insect cell system. These were used to capture associated protein complexes from HeLa nuclear extracts.

Remodeling of Brown and White Adipose Tissue by NT-PGC-1α-Mediated Gene Regulation

Project description:The β-adrenergic receptor signaling pathway is a major component of adaptive thermogenesis in brown and white adipose tissue during cold acclimation. The β-AR activation highly induces transcriptional coactivator PGC-1α and its splice variant N-terminal (NT)-PGC-1α, promoting the transcription program of mitochondrial biogenesis and thermogenesis. In the present study, we evaluated the role of NT-PGC-1α in brown adipocyte energy metabolism by genome-wide profiling of NT-PGC-1α-responsive genes. Canonical pathway analysis revealed that a number of genes upregulated by NT-PGC-1α are highly enriched in mitochondrial pathways including fatty acid transport and β-oxidation, TCA cycle and electron transport system, thus reinforcing the crucial role of NT-PGC-1α in the enhancement of mitochondrial function. Moreover, gene expression profiling of NT-PGC-1α revealed activation of distinct metabolic pathways such as glucose, lipid and nucleotide metabolism and of signaling pathways such as RAR and PPAR-γ/RXRα activation in brown adipocytes. Together, our data strengthen our previous findings that NT-PGC-1α is a key regulator of mitochondrial oxidative metabolism and thermogenesis in brown adipocytes and further suggest that NT-PGC-1α influences a broader spectrum of thermogenic processes to meet cellular needs for adaptive thermogenesis. Two samples from two groups: NT-PGC-1α overexpression and empty vector. There are technical replicates (A and B) for each group. Two RNA samples were pooled for each group.

Loss of renal tubular PGC-1α exacerbates diet-induced renal steatosis and age-related urinary sodium excretion in mice

Project description:The kidney has a high energy demand and is dependent on oxidative metabolism for ATP production. Accordingly, the kidney is rich in mitochondria, and mitochondrial dysfunction is a common denominator for several renal diseases. While the mitochondrial master regulator peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1α (PGC-1α) is highly expressed in kidney, its role in renal physiology is so far unclear. Here we show that PGC-1α is a central transcriptional regulator of mitochondrial metabolic pathways in the kidney. Moreover we demonstrate that mice with an inducible nephron-specific inactivation of PGC-1α in the kidney display elevated urinary sodium excretion, exacerbated renal steatosis during metabolic stress but normal blood pressure regulation. Overall, PGC-1α seems largely dispensable for basal renal physiology. However, the central role of PGC-1α in renal mitochondrial biogenesis indicates that activation of PGC-1α in the context of renal disorders could be a valid therapeutic strategy to ameliorate renal mitochondrial dysfunction.

PGC 1α Senses the CBC of Pre-mRNA to Dictate the Fate of Promoter-Proximally Paused RNAPII [RIP-seq footprint]

Project description:Although PGC 1α is well-established as a transcriptional coactivator for the metabolic adaptation of mammalian cells to diverse physiological stresses, its molecular dynamics at the start and during gene transcription are incompletely understood. Previously, we defined a CBP80-binding motif (CBM) within PGC 1α that binds CBP80 at the 5′-cap of nascent transcripts deriving from PGC 1α-responsive genes. Binding verifies proper 5′-cap assembly, after which gene transcription is somehow promoted. Here, using protein immunoprecipitations, size-exclusion chromatography, PRO-seq, RNA-seq, native RIP-seq, RIP-seq footprinting and CUT&RUN, we report that PGC 1α, serving as a DNA−RNA conduit between promoter-bound ERRα and nascent transcript-bound CBP80, overcomes promoter-proximal pausing of RNAPII by competing against the premature transcription termination complex Integrator and also by recruiting P-TEFb. Using mice homozygous for five amino-acid changes in PGC 1α that destroy CBM function, we demonstrate that efficient differentiation of primary myoblasts to myofibers and effective regeneration of skeletal muscle after injury requires PGC 1α binding to CBP80.
