چکیده

Previous studies have demonstrated a therapeutic benefit of pharmaceutical PGC-1a activation in cellular and murine model of disorders linked to mitochondrial dysfunction. While in some cases, this effect seems to be clearly associated with boosting of mitochondrial function, additional alterations as well as tissueand celltype-specific effects might play an important role. We initiated a comprehensive analysis of the effects of potential PGC-1a-activating drugs and pharmaceutically targeted the PPAR (bezafibrate, rosiglitazone), AMPK (AICAR, metformin) and Sirt1 (resveratrol) pathways in HeLa cells, neuronal cells and PGC-1a-deficient MEFs to get insight into cell type specificity and PGC-1a dependence of their working action. We used bezafibrate as a model drug to assess the effect on a tissue-specific level in a murine model. Not all analyzed drugs activate the PGC pathway or alter mitochondrial protein levels. However, they all affect supramolecular assembly of OXPHOS complexes and OXPHOS protein stability. In addition, a clear drugand cell-type-specific influence on several cellular stress pathways as well as on post-translational modifications could be demonstrated, which might be relevant to fully understand the action of the analyzed drugs in the disease state. Importantly, the effect on the activation of mitochondrial biogenesis and stress response program upon drug treatment is PGC-1a dependent in MEFs demonstrating not only the pleiotropic effects of this molecule but points also to the working mechanism of the analyzed drugs. The definition of the action spectrum of the different drugs forms the basis for a defect-specific compensation strategy and a future personalized therapeutic approach.

S20-01 Germ cell migration in zebrafish

Primordial germ cell (PGC) migration in zebrafish is directed by the chemokine SDF-1a that activates its receptor CXCR4b. Guided PGC migration in zebrafish thus serves as a model for chemokinedirected cell migration, a process that is relevant for a wide range of events in development, homeostasis and disease. We show that during their migration PGCs generate bleb-like protrusions that are powe...

Knockdown of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1 alpha increased apoptosis of human endometrial cancer HEC-1A cells

BACKGROUND Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1 alpha (PGC-1α) coactivates multiple transcription factors and regulates several metabolic processes. In this study, we focused on the roles of PGC-1α in the apoptosis of endometrial cancer HEC-1A cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS PGC-1a expression in the HEC-1A cells was detected with real-time polymerase chain reaction and ...
