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.

Project description:Sarcopenia, the age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and function, can dramatically impinge on quality of life and mortality. While mitochondrial dysfunction and imbalanced proteostasis are recognized as hallmarks of sarcopenia, the regulatory and functional link between these processes is underappreciated and unresolved. We therefore investigated how mitochondrial proteostasis, a crucial process that coordinates the expression of nuclear- and mitochondrial-encoded mitochondrial proteins with supercomplex formation and respiratory activity, is affected in skeletal muscle aging. Intriguingly, a robust mitochondrial translation impairment was observed in sarcopenic muscle, which is regulated by the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1 alpha (PGC-1alpha) with the estrogen-related receptor alpha (ERRalpha). Exercise, a potent inducer of PGC-1alpha activity, rectifies age-related reduction in mitochondrial translation, in conjunction with quality control pathways. These results highlight the importance of mitochondrial proteostasis in muscle aging, and elucidate regulatory interactions that underlie the powerful benefits of physical activity in this context.

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:PGC-1alpha; is a coactivator of nuclear receptors and other transcription factors that regulates several metabolic processes, including mitochondrial biogenesis and respiration, hepatic gluconeogenesis, and muscle fiber-type switching. We show here that, while hepatocytes lacking PGC-1alpha; are defective in the program of hormone-stimulated gluconeogenesis, the mice have constitutively activated gluconeogenic gene expression that is completely insensitive to normal feeding controls. C/EBPbeta; is elevated in the livers of these mice and activates the gluconeogenic genes in a PGC-1α-independent manner. Despite having reduced mitochondrial function, PGC-1alpha; null mice are paradoxically lean and resistant to diet-induced obesity. This is largely due to a profound hyperactivity displayed by the null animals and is associated with lesions in the striatal region of the brain that controls movement. These data illustrate a central role for PGC-1alpha; in the control of energy metabolism but also reveal novel systemic compensatory mechanisms and pathogenic effects of impaired energy homeostasis.

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:Mitochondrial oxidative function is tightly controlled to maintain energy homeostasis in response to nutrient and hormonal signals. An important cellular component in the energy sensing response is the target of rapamycin (TOR) kinase pathway; however whether and how mTOR controls mitochondrial oxidative activity is unknown. Here, we show that mTOR kinase activity stimulates mitochondrial gene expression and oxidative function. In skeletal muscle cells and TSC2-/- MEFs, the mTOR inhibitor rapamycin largely decreased gene expression of mitochondrial transcriptional regulators such as PGC-1alpha and the transcription factors ERRalpha and NRFs. As a consequence, mitochondrial gene expression and oxygen consumption were reduced upon mTOR inhibition. Using computational genomics, we identified the transcription factor YY1 as a common target of mTOR and PGC-1alpha that controls mitochondrial gene expression. Inhibition of mTOR resulted in a failure of YY1 to interact and be coactivated by PGC-1alpha. Notably, knock-down of YY1 in skeletal muscle cells caused a significant decrease in mRNAs of mitochondrial regulators and mitochondrial genes that resulted in a decrease in respiration. Moreover, YY1 was required for rapamycin-dependent repression of mitochondrial genes. Thus, we have identified a novel mechanism in which a nutrient sensor (mTOR) balances energy metabolism via transcriptional control of mitochondrial oxidative function. These results have important implications for our understanding of how these pathways might be altered in metabolic diseases and cancer. Experiment Overall Design: Using Affymetrix MOE430 v2 gene chips, biological triplicates of each condition were analyzed: vehicle-treated, rapamycin-treated, gfp-infected, and pgc-1alpha-infected resulting in a total of 12 samples. Experiment Overall Design: Data were analyzed by RMA (with default settings) in BioConductor 1.2 -- one batch for the Rapamycin vs. Vehicle, and another batch for the PGC vs GFP.

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").
