We examined global gene expression patterns in response to PGC-1 expression in cells derived from liver or muscle. As our study revealed regulation of HSF1 by PGC-1alpha, in some experiments we knocked-down HSF1 using siRNAs in addition to inducing PGC-1alpha expression. Overall design: Cells were grown in 24-well plates and adenoviruses encoding either GFP ("Ad-GFP"), PGC-1alpha ("Ad-PGC-1alpha") or PGC-1beta ("Ad-PGC-1beta") were directly added to the culture medium. For experiments involving siRNA transfections, cells were transfected with the indicated siRNAs 48hr prior to infection with adenoviruses encoding either GFP ("Ad-GFP") or PGC-1alpha ("Ad-PGC-1alpha").
