UCPs, at the interface between bioenergetics and metabolism
2016, Biochimica et Biophysica Acta - Molecular Cell ResearchCitation Excerpt :Ucp2 [141,147] and Ucp3 [148,149] gene expression was shown to be under the control of transcription factors, such as PPARs, that control gene expression in response to metabolic fuel availability [141]. In muscle, it seems that the regulation of the Ucp2 and Ucp3 genes is somehow different [150,151]. There is a risk that anti-UCP2 or anti-UCP3 antibodies would detect other SLC25 members in the mitochondrial preparations studied.
Peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-γ agonists protect oligodendrocyte progenitors against tumor necrosis factor-alpha-induced damage: Effects on mitochondrial functions and differentiation
2015, Experimental NeurologyCitation Excerpt :In the active form, the complex binds specific response elements on the promoter region of target genes. In addition to genes involved in lipid metabolism, glycolysis and fatty acid β-oxidation, PPAR-γ controls the transcription of genes engaged in ROS detoxification, such as ROS scavenging enzymes (e.g. catalase, Cu/Zn SOD), and of those encoding for the mitochondrial uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) and PGC-1α (Bernardo et al., 2009; Shimokawa et al., 1998). UCP2 is a member of the uncoupling protein family whose precursor, UCP1, is expressed in brown adipose tissue where it is responsible for thermogenesis.
Regulation of neuron mitochondrial biogenesis and relevance to brain health
2010, Biochimica et Biophysica Acta - Molecular Basis of DiseaseIdentification of peroxisome-proliferator responsive element in the mouse HSL gene
2007, Biochemical and Biophysical Research CommunicationsCitation Excerpt :Pioglitazone improved the overexpression of the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase gene in the liver of diabetic KK-Ay mice [25]. Other studies showed that pioglitazone treatment increased the expression of the UCP2 mRNA in the skeletal muscle and improved hyperglycemia in KK mice [26]. Although the mode of anti-diabetic action of the thiazolidinediones remains to be elucidated, these data indicated that the thiazolidinediones affect glucose and lipid metabolism in the liver and skeletal muscle.
Antagonism of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ prevents high-fat diet-induced obesity in vivo
2006, Biochemical PharmacologyCitation Excerpt :Total RNA was extracted from the cells using Isogen, a mixture of acid guanidium isothiocyanate–phenol–chloroform, and treated with DNase according to the manufacturer's instructions (Nippon Gene, Tokyo, Japan). mRNA levels were determined using real-time quantitative RT-PCR analysis on an ABI Prism 7700 system (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA) as previously described [36]. Oligonucleotide primers (forward, reverse) and TaqMan probes were designed using Primer Express™ (Applied Biosystems).
