BACKGROUND:Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator-1 alpha (PGC-1α) may play an important role in the exercise-induced skeletal muscle adaptation, which is involved in the regulation of a variety of exercise-induced biological reactions.
OBJECTIVE:To review the PGC-1αand endurance training induced skeletal muscle adaptations.
METHODS:The relevant articles about relationship between PGC-1αand endurance training-induced skeletal muscle adaptations were searched from PubMed database (1995-01/2010-10) by using the keywords of“PGC-1α, skeletal muscle, exercise, mitochondrial biogenesis, adaptations”, and the language was limited to English. Repetitive contents were deleted. The 59 col ected articles were searched. According to the criterion, 37 were classified and sorted.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Endurance training can typical y increase the expression/activity of membrane transporters and mitochondrial metabolic enzymes as wel as increase capil arisation in the skeletal muscle, together enhancing the oxidative capacity of the muscle and the ability to oxidize both carbohydrates and fatty acids. Studies in PGC-1αknockout and overexpression mice have clearly demonstrated that PGC-1αplays an important role in maintaining the expression of mitochondrial metabolic and anti-oxidant enzymes in the skeletal muscle and does influence exercise-induced adaptations of mitochondrial proteins. However, PGC-1αis not exclusively required, and additional factors must be involved in the regulation of both basal expression and exercise-induced adaptations. Exercise-induced PGC-1αexpression and potential y increased PGC-1αactivity are likely the mechanisms contributing to skeletal muscle mitochondrial adaptations and concomitant health beneficial effects of regular physical activity.

Placental tissues have many cell types with stem/progenitor cell potential and immunomodulatory properties. Moreover, placental tissue is readily available and easily procured without invasive procedures, and its use does not elicit ethical debate. Thus, placental tissue has been a key focus in studies of searching a new source of human stem/progenitor cells. Most of the research published in this area focuses on mesenchymal stromal cells isolated from various parts of the placenta or epithelial cells isolated from amniotic membrane. Considering the complexity of the placenta, an urgent need exists to define the region of origin and methods of isolation of cells derived from this tissue.

The nuclei of the lymphocytes of rat spleen were isolated with the modified Kohji Ueno method and then were purified. Four kinds of nucleoside triphosphate (ATP, GTP, CTP, UTP) as well as 3H-UTP and certain inorganic ions were added in to study the transcriptional function, DNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity, of the nuclei in vitro. The influence of the substrate concentration, temperature, pH value, the concentration of certain inorganic ions(Mg, Mn, NH4 + ), actinomycin D and ?-amanitin on the polymerase activity was evaluated.It was found that Mn and (NH4)2SO4 in high concentration(0.2M) could markedly enhance the transcriptional activity while actinomycin D and a-amanitin inhibited it. A-amanitin in low concentration (1?g/ml) could inhibit 80% of the transcriptional activity. If proper ion concentration was given, relatively high activity of RNA polymerase could be shown. The transcriptional activity was in linear relation with certain range of the nucleus concentration. Substrate requires the existence of the four kinds of nucleoside triphosphate: this means that the transcriptional model reflects the activity of the DNA-dependent RNA polymerase and is suitable for the study of transcriptional mechanism.

Objective To construct the eukaryotic expression vector of mouse 24p3 gene and express it in NIH3T3 fibroblast cell line and verify its biological function of delivering iron into cells. Methods 24p3cDNA was cloned by RT-PCR and the eukaryotic expression vector of mouse 24p3 gene was constructed by gene recombination technique and the recombinant plasmid was verified by restriction enzyme digestion analysis and sequenceing, then transfected into NIH3T3 cells using DOTAP transfection reagent. Then the positive clones were selected and amplified. The expression of 24p3 gene in the culture supernatant of positive clones was analyzed by ELISA and Western blotting and its biological activity of delivering iron into cells was tested by atomic absorption spectrometer. Results The eukaryotic expression vector was constructed successfully. The NIH3T3 cells that stably expressed 24p3 were screened out. 24p3/SIP24 protein could express in the culture supernatant of positive clones and deliver iron into NIH3T3 cells. Conclusion The 24p3 gene was expressed successfully in the transfected NIH3T3 cells with good biological activity, which laid the foundation for further studying its biological function and mechanism involved in the iron metabolism.
