Mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC), which is essential for mitochondrial pyruvate usage, mediates the transport of cytosolic pyruvate into mitochondria. Low MPC expression is associated with various cancers, and functionally associated with glycolytic metabolism and stemness. However, the mechanism by which MPC expression is regulated is largely unknown. In this study, we showed that MPC1 is down-regulated in human renal cell carcinoma (RCC) due to strong suppression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma co-activator (PGC)-1 alpha (PGC-1α). We also demonstrated that overexpression of PGC-1α stimulates MPC1 transcription, while depletion of PGC-1α by siRNA suppresses MPC expression. We found that PGC-1α interacts with estrogen-related receptor-alpha (ERR-α) and recruits it to the ERR-α response element motif located in the proximal MPC1 promoter, resulting in efficient activation of MPC1 expression. Furthermore, the MPC inhibitor, UK5099, blocked PGC-1α-induced pyruvate-dependent mitochondrial oxygen consumption. Taken together, our results suggest that MPC1 is a novel target gene of PGC-1α. In addition, low expression of PGC-1α in human RCC might contribute to the reduced expression of MPC, resulting in impaired mitochondrial respiratory capacity in RCC by limiting the transport of pyruvate into the mitochondrial matrix.

Aim: To investigate the targets of miR-181b in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Materials & methods: The bioinformatic softwares were used to indicate the key target genes associated with miR-181b, and the results were verified in CLL patient samples and 293T cells. Results: CARD11 is a potential target gene of miR-181b, an inverse relationship was revealed between the expression of CARD11 and miR-181b in 104 CLL patients, and it was confirmed in vitro with luciferase assays and western blotting. Kaplan–Meier analysis showed that CLL patients with high CARD11 expression demonstrated poor survival. Conclusion: CARD11 is a novel target of miR-181b that is upregulated, which could be a poor prognostic indicator for CLL patients.
