Abstract:

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha(PGC-1α)is an important nuclear transcriptional coactivator in human body. Nuclear receptors and transcription factors interact to regulate the expression of their target genes. PGC1-α plays an important role in human energy metabolism, which is involved in fatty acid oxidation, hepatic gluconeogenesis and regulation of mitochondrial ATP biosynthesis.Studies have shown that PGC-1α gene polymorphism is closely related to the occurrence of metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, diabetic nephropathy, obesity and coronary heart disease. Exploring the correlation between PGC-1α gene polymorphism and metabolic diseases is beneficial to detect and evaluate the risk of metabolic diseases from the genetic level, so as to realize early detection and prevention of the disease, improve the quality of life of metabolic diseases, and prolong Survival period. This article reviews the research progress of the metabolic pathways involved in PGC-1α and the correlation between its genetic polymorphisms and metabolic diseases in the recent five years.

Key words: peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha, metabolism, gene polymorphism
