Uteroplacental insufficiency and subsequent intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) increase the risk of type 2 diabetes in humans and rats. Unsuppressed endogenous hepatic glucose production is a common component of the insulin resistance associated with type 2 diabetes. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma-coactivator-1 (PGC-1) mediates hepatic glucose production by controlling mRNA levels of glucose-6-phosphatase (G-6-Pase), phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCE), and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase). We therefore hypothesized that gene expression of PGC-1 would be increased in juvenile IUGR rat livers, and this increase would directly correlate with hepatic mRNA levels of PEPCK, G-6-Pase, and FB-Pase, but not glucokinase. We found that IUGR hepatic PGC-1 protein levels were increased to 230 +/- 32% and 310 +/- 47% of control values at d 0 and d 21 of life, respectively. Similarly, IUGR hepatic PGC-1 mRNA levels were significantly elevated at both ages. Concurrent with the increased PGC-1 gene expression, IUGR hepatic mRNA levels of G-6-Pase, PEPCK, and FBPase were also significantly increased, whereas glucokinase mRNA levels were significantly decreased. These data suggest that increased PGC-1 expression and subsequent hepatic glucose production contribute to the insulin resistance observed in the IUGR juvenile rat.
