Skeletal muscle-specific expression of PGC-1α-b, an exercise-responsive isoform, increases exercise capacity and peak oxygen uptake. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Maximal oxygen uptake (VO(2max)) predicts mortality and is associated with endurance performance. Trained subjects have a high VO(2max) due to a high cardiac output and high metabolic capacity of skeletal muscles.

Suppression of PGC-1α Is Critical for Reprogramming Oxidative Metabolism in Renal Cell Carcinoma

open access: yesCell Reports, 2015
Long believed to be a byproduct of malignant transformation, reprogramming of cellular metabolism is now recognized as a driving force in tumorigenesis. In clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), frequent activation of HIF signaling induces a metabolic ...

A20 deubiquitinase controls PGC-1α expression in the adipose tissue

open access: yesLipids in Health and Disease, 2018
Background Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator- 1alpha (PGC-1α) plays an important role in whole body metabolism and, particularly in glucose homeostasis.

PGC-1α-mediated changes in phospholipid profiles of exercise-trained skeletal muscle

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2015
Exercise training influences phospholipid fatty acid composition in skeletal muscle and these changes are associated with physiological phenotypes; however, the molecular mechanism of this influence on compositional changes is poorly understood ...

Macrophage PPAR gamma Co‐activator‐1 alpha participates in repressing foam cell formation and atherosclerosis in response to conjugated linoleic acid

open access: yesEMBO Molecular Medicine, 2013
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) has the unique property of inducing regression of pre‐established murine atherosclerosis. Understanding the mechanism(s) involved may help identify endogenous pathways that reverse human atherosclerosis.

PGC‐1α overexpression increases transcription factor EB nuclear localization and lysosome abundance in dystrophin‐deficient skeletal muscle

open access: yesPhysiological Reports, 2020
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is caused by the absence of functional dystrophin protein and results in progressive muscle wasting. Dystrophin deficiency leads to a host of dysfunctional cellular processes including impaired autophagy.

Skeletal muscle‐specific PGC‐1α‐b overexpression prevents eccentric contraction‐induced muscle injury through an utrophin‐independent pathway in mice

open access: yesPhysiological Reports
Slower oxidative fibers are more resistant to eccentric contraction (ECC)‐induced muscle damage than fast‐twitch glycolytic fibers, but the mechanisms remain unclear. This study investigated the roles of the exercise‐inducible PGC‐1α isoform PGC‐1α‐b and

Thyroid Hormone Induces PGC-1α during Dendritic Outgrowth in Mouse Cerebellar Purkinje Cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2017
Thyroid hormone 3,3′,5-Triiodo-L-thyronine (T3) is essential for proper brain development. Perinatal loss of T3 causes severe growth defects in neurons and glia, including strong inhibition of dendrite formation in Purkinje cells in the cerebellar cortex.

PGC-1α promotes the survival of newborn neurons within AD hippocampus through activation of the FNDC5/BDNF/TrkB signaling pathway

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience
BackgroundThe learning and memory impairments observed in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are strongly associated with impaired neurogenesis in the hippocampal region.
