Abstract

PGC-1beta is a transcriptional coactivator that potently stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis and respiration of cells. Here, we have generated mice lacking exons 3 to 4 of the Pgc-1beta gene (Pgc-1beta(E3,4-/E3,4-) mice). These mice express a mutant protein that has reduced coactivation activity on a subset of transcription factors, including ERRalpha, a major target of PGC-1beta in the induction of mitochondrial gene expression. The mutant mice have reduced expression of OXPHOS genes and mitochondrial dysfunction in liver and skeletal muscle as well as elevated liver triglycerides. Euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp and insulin signaling studies show that PGC-1beta mutant mice have normal skeletal muscle response to insulin but have hepatic insulin resistance. These results demonstrate that PGC-1beta is required for normal expression of OXPHOS genes and mitochondrial function in liver and skeletal muscle. Importantly, these abnormalities do not cause insulin resistance in skeletal muscle but cause substantially reduced insulin action in the liver.

  • PGC-1β-null mice have more striking hepatic phenotypes, with hepatic insulin resistance, even on normal chow, and steatosis with high-fat feeding.

    “PGC-1␤-null mice have more striking hepatic phenotypes, with hepatic insulin resistance, even on normal chow, and steatosis with high-fat feeding (59,65,66).”
  • Insulin sensitivity in PGC-1β-null mice is reported to be normal.

    “Insulin sensitivity in these animals is reported to be normal.”
  • PGC-1β-null mice display phenotypes similar to, but not identical to, those of PGC-1α knockouts, including reduced expression of OXPHOS genes, reduced ATP synthesis, reduced exercise capacity, and impaired thermogenesis.

    “PGC-1␤-null mice (59, 62, 65, 66) display phenotypes similar to, but not identical to, those of PGC-1␣ knockouts, including reduced expression of OXPHOS genes, reduced ATP synthesis, reduced exercise capacity, and impaired thermogenesis (59,62).”
  • PGC-1β whole-body hypomorph reduced mitochondrial DNA by 30% and OXPHOS mRNA by 20-30% (Vianna, 2006).

    “Vianna, 2006 PGC-1␤ whole-body 2 30% 20 -30% 2 mRNA | (65) hypomorph”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
