Abstract

PGC1α is a co-activator involved in adaptive thermogenesis, fatty-acid oxidation and gluconeogenesis. We describe the identification of several isoforms of a new human PGC1α homologue, cloned independently and named PGC1β. The human PGC1β gene is localized to chromosome 5, has 13 exons and spans more than 78 kb. Two different 5′ and 3′ ends due to differential splicing were identified by rapid amplification of cDNA ends PCR and screening of human cDNA libraries. We show that PGC1β variants in humans, mice and rats are expressed predominantly in heart, brown adipose tissue, brain and skeletal muscle. PGC1β expression, unlike PGC1α, is not up-regulated in brown adipose tissue in response to cold or obesity. Fasting experiments showed that PGC1α, but not PGC1β, is induced in liver and this suggests that only PGC1α is involved in the hepatic gluconeogenesis. No changes in PGC1β gene expression were observed associated with exercise. Human PGC1β-1a and −2a isoforms localized to the cell nucleus and, specifically, the isoform PGC1β-1a co-activated peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor-γ, -α and the thyroid hormone receptor β1. Finally, we show that ectopic expression PGC1β leads to increased mitochondrial number and basal oxygen consumption. These results suggest that PGC1β may play a role in constitutive adrenergic-independent mitochondrial biogenesis.

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.
