PGC1α activity on bone metabolism in vitro and in vivo.

PGC1α Activity on Bone Metabolism
In Vitro In Vivo
Increases Osteocalcin expression together with Nuclear related receptor-1 [8]
Enhances Osteocalcin promoter activity interacting with Estrogen-related receptor alpha [9]
Restores the inhibition of osteogenic differentiation and mitochondrial activity Sirtuin 3 knockdown-induced [10]
Upregulates many key factors involved in osteoblast and osteocyte differentiation [11]
PGC1α deletion causes a reduction in cortical thickness and in osteocalcin and collagen type I α 1 levels [12]
PGC1α/β deficiency results in cortical and trabecular parameter reduction [11]
PGC1α absence induces marrow adipose tissue accumulation [13]
PGC1α activation in leptin receptor-deficient diabetic mice increases osteoblastic gene expression and inhibits atrogene transcription [14]
