Evidence is emerging that the PGC-1 coactivators serve a critical role in skeletal muscle metabolism, function, and disease. Mice with total PGC-1 deficiency in skeletal muscle (PGC-1?(-/-)?(f/f/MLC-Cre) mice) were generated and characterized. PGC-1?(-/-)?(f/f/MLC-Cre) mice exhibit a dramatic reduction in exercise performance compared to single PGC-1?- or PGC-1?-deficient mice and wild-type controls. The exercise phenotype of the PGC-1?(-/-)?(f/f/MLC-Cre) mice was associated with a marked diminution in muscle oxidative capacity, together with rapid depletion of muscle glycogen stores. In addition, the PGC-1?/?-deficient muscle exhibited mitochondrial structural derangements consistent with fusion/fission and biogenic defects. Surprisingly, the proportion of oxidative muscle fiber types (I, IIa) was not reduced in the PGC-1?(-/-)?(f/f/MLC-Cre) mice. Moreover, insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance were not altered in the PGC-1?(-/-)?(f/f/MLC-Cre) mice. Taken together, we conclude that PGC-1 coactivators are necessary for the oxidative and mitochondrial programs of skeletal muscle but are dispensable for fundamental fiber type determination and insulin sensitivity.
