Abbreviations: BAT, brown adipose tissue; CIDEA, cell death–inducing DFFA-like effector a; CPT, carnitinepalmitoyl transferase; FAO, fatty acid oxidation; HSP, heat-shock protein; OXPHOS, oxidative phosphorylation; PGC, PPAR coactivator; PPAR, peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor; RIP, receptor interacting protein; RSG, rosiglitazone; TCA, tricarboxylic acid; UCP, uncoupling protein; WAT, white adipose tissue

The objective of this study was to further establish and confirm the relationship of adipose mitochondrial biogenesis in diabetes/obesity and the effects of rosiglitazone (RSG), a peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor (PPAR) {gamma} agonist, by systematically analyzing mitochondrial gene expression and function in two mouse models of obesity and type 2 diabetes. Using microarray technology, adipose mitochondrial gene transcription was studied in db/db, high-fat diet–fed C57BL/6 (HFD) and respective control mice with or without RSG treatment. The findings were extended using mitochondrial staining, DNA quantification, and measurements of citrate synthase activity. In db/db and HFD mice, gene transcripts associated with mitochondrial ATP production, energy uncoupling, mitochondrial ribosomal proteins, outer and inner membrane translocases, and mitochondrial heat-shock proteins were decreased in abundance, compared with db/+ and standard-fat diet–fed control mice, respectively. RSG dose-dependently increased these transcripts in both db/db and HFD mice and induced transcription of mitochondrial structural proteins and cellular antioxidant enzymes responsible for removal of reactive oxygen species generated by increased mitochondrial activity. Transcription factors, including PPAR coactivator (PGC)-1ß, PGC-1{alpha}, estrogen-related receptor {alpha}, and PPAR{alpha}, were suppressed in both models and induced by RSG. The effects of RSG on adipose mitochondrial genes were confirmed by quantitative RT-PCR and further supported by mitochondrial staining, mitochondrial DNA quantification, and citrate synthase activity. Adipose mitochondrial biogenesis was overwhelmingly suppressed in both mouse models of diabetes/obesity and globally induced by RSG. These findings suggest an important role of adipose mitochondria in diabetes/obesity and the potential for new treatment approaches targeting adipose mitochondria.
