PGC-1alpha mRNA and protein are elevated in islets from multiple animal models of diabetes. Overexpression of PGC-1alpha impairs glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS). However, it is not well known which metabolic events lead to upregulation of PGC-1alpha in the beta-cells under pathophysiological condition. In present study, we have investigated effects of chronic hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia on PGC-1alpha mRNA expression in isolated rat islets. Isolated rat islets are chronically incubated with 0, 0.2 and 0.4 mM oleic acid/palmitic acid (free fatty acids, FFA) or 5.5 and 25 mM glucose for 72 h. FFA dose-dependently increases PGC-1alpha mRNA expression level in isolated islets. FFA also increases PGC-1alpha expression in mouse beta-cell-derived beta TC3 cell line. In contrast, 25 mM glucose decreases expression level of PGC-1alpha. Inhibition of PGC-1alpha by siRNA improves FFA-induced impairment of GSIS in islets. These data suggest that hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia regulate PGC-1alpha expression in islets differently, and elevated PGC-1alpha by FFA plays an important role in chronic hyperlipidemia-induced beta-cell dysfunction.

BACKGROUND: Oleic acid (OA) stimulates vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation and migration. The precise mechanism is still unclear. We sought to investigate the effects of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) coactivator-1 alpha (PGC-1alpha) on OA-induced VSMC proliferation and migration. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Oleate and palmitate, the most abundant monounsaturated fatty acid and saturated fatty acid in plasma, respectively, differently affect the mRNA and protein levels of PGC-1alpha in VSMCs. OA treatment resulted in a reduction of PGC-1alpha expression, which may be responsible for the increase in VSMC proliferation and migration caused by this fatty acid. In fact, overexpression of PGC-1alpha prevented OA-induced VSMC proliferation and migration while suppression of PGC-1alpha by siRNA enhanced the effects of OA. In contrast, palmitic acid (PA) treatment led to opposite effects. This saturated fatty acid induced PGC-1alpha expression and prevented OA-induced VSMC proliferation and migration. Mechanistic study demonstrated that the effects of PGC-1alpha on VSMC proliferation and migration result from its capacity to prevent ERK phosphorylation. CONCLUSIONS: OA and PA regulate PGC-1alpha expression in VSMCs differentially. OA stimulates VSMC proliferation and migration via suppression of PGC-1alpha expression while PA reverses the effects of OA by inducing PGC-1alpha expression. Upregulation of PGC-1alpha in VSMCs provides a potential novel strategy in preventing atherosclerosis.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) coactivator-1 alpha (PGC-1alpha) coactivates multiple transcription factors and regulates several metabolic processes. The current study investigated the role of PGC-1alpha in the induction of apoptosis in human epithelial ovarian cancer cells. The PGC-1alpha mRNA level between human ovaries and human ovarian epithelial tumors was examined by quantitative RT-PCR. Less PGC-1alpha expression was found in the surface epithelium of malignant tumors compared with normal ovaries. Overexpression of PGC-1alpha in human epithelial ovarian cancer cell line Ho-8910 induced cell apoptosis through the coordinated regulation of Bcl-2 and Bax expression. Microarray analyses confirmed that PGC-1alpha dramatically affected the apoptosis-related genes in Ho-8910 cells. Mitochondrial functional assay showed that the induction of apoptosis was through the terminal stage by the release of cytochrome c. Furthermore, PGC-1alpha-induced apoptosis was partially, but not completely, blocked by PPARgamma antagonist (GW9662), and suppression of PPARgamma expression by siRNA also inhibited PGC-1alpha-induced apoptosis in Ho-8910 cells. These data suggested that PGC-1alpha exerted its effect through a PPARgamma-dependent pathway. Our findings indicated that PGC-1alpha was involved in the apoptotic signal transduction pathways and downregulation of PGC-1alpha may be a key point in promoting epithelial ovarian cancer growth and progression.
