Abstract:
:Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1alpha (PGC-1alpha) coactivates a number of transcription factors critical for mitochondrial biogenesis. Previously, we found that the expression of PGC-1alpha is governed by neuronal activity, but the signaling mechanism is poorly understood. The present study aimed at testing our hypothesis that depolarizing activation of PGC-1alpha in neurons is mediated by p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and calcium channels. Cultured primary neurons and N2a cells were depolarized with 20 mM KCl for varying times, and increases in PGC-1alpha mRNA and protein levels were found after 0.5 and 1 hr of stimulation, respectively. These levels returned to those of controls after the withdrawal of KCl. Significantly, 15 min of KCl stimulation induced an up-regulation of both p38 MAPK and phosphorylated p38 MAPK that were suppressed by 30 min of pretreatment with SB203580, a blocker of p38 MAPK that also blocked the up-regulation of PGC-1alpha by KCl. Likewise, 30 min of pretreatment with nifedipine, a calcium channel blocker, also prevented the up-regulation of PGC-1alpha mRNA and proteins by KCl. Furthermore, a knockdown of p38 MAPK with small interference hairpin RNA significantly suppressed PGC-1alpha mRNA and protein levels. Our results indicate that both p38 MAPK and calcium play important roles in mediating signaling in depolarization-induced activation of PGC-1alpha at the protein and message levels in neurons.
