چکیده

The transcriptional coactivator PGC-1α is a potent regulator of skeletal muscle metabolism. Less is known about the structurally similar PGC-1α-related coactivator (PRC) that is enriched in myoblasts and adult skeletal muscle. The present study was designed to determine the effect of PRC on the metabolic profile of C2C12 myotubes. Overexpression of full-length PRC increased PRC gene expression by 2.7 ± 0.3-fold and protein content by 108 ± 5.3%. This modest elevation in PRC resulted in an increased rate of myoblast proliferation (61.5 ± 2.7%) and resulted in myotubes characterized by increased MyoD (18.2 ± 0.52%) and myosin heavy chain (15.4 ± 3.13%) protein. PRC overexpressing myotubes showed increases in mRNA for some-COX4 (2.6 ± 0.18-fold), ATP5B (2.7 ± 0.34-fold) cytochrome c (5.1 ± 0.68-fold)-but not all, MTCO1 (0.61 ± 0.18-fold) and HAD (0.98 ± 0.36-fold) mitochondrial genes, as well as a significant increase in cytochrome-c (28.7 ± 7.02%) protein content. The enzyme activity of the electron transport chain (ETC) complex IV (3.7 ± 0.01-fold) and citrate synthase (2.1 ± 0.14-fold) was increased by PRC, as was the mtDNA:nucDNA ratio (11 ± 0.3%). PRC increased cellular respiration (142%), basal (197%) and insulin-stimulated (253%) glucose uptake, as well as palmitate uptake (28.6 ± 3.31%) and oxidation (31.1 ± 2.17%). Associated with these changes in function, PRC overexpression increased GLUT4 mRNA (4.5 ± 0.22-fold) and protein (13.8 ± 2.08%) and CPT1 protein (28.9 ± 4.23%). Electrical stimulation of C2C12 myotubes resulted in a transient increase in PRC mRNA that was smaller (2.1 ± 0.3-fold vs. 4.4 ± 0.23-fold) and occurred earlier (3 h vs. 6 h) than PGC-1α. Collectively, our data show that PRC promotes skeletal muscle myogenesis and metabolism in vitro, thus identifying PRC as a functional skeletal muscle coactivator capable of regulating mitochondrial substrate utilization and respiration.

The importance of PGC-1α in contractile activity-induced mitochondrial adaptations.

The transcriptional coactivator PPARγ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) is a critical regulator of mitochondrial content and function in skeletal muscle. PGC-1α may also mediate mitochondrial adaptations in response to chronic contractile activity (CCA). To characterize the essential role of PGC-1α in organelle biogenesis, C₂C₁₂ murine myotubes were transfected with PGC-1α-specific siRNA and subjected to...

Inverse Regulation of the Cytosolic Ca2+ Buffer Parvalbumin and Mitochondrial Volume in Muscle Cells via SIRT1/PGC-1α Axis

Skeletal muscles show a high plasticity to cope with various physiological demands. Different muscle types can be distinguished by the force, endurance, contraction/relaxation kinetics (fast-twitch vs. slow-twitch muscles), oxidative/glycolytic capacity, and also with respect to Ca²⁺-signaling components. Changes in Ca²⁺ signaling and associated Ca²⁺-dependent processes are thought to underlie ...
