Abstract
⺠PGC1 family of coactivators regulate diverse metabolic functions. ⺠Cell metabolism is linked to cancer in part via PGC-1s. ⺠PGC1α promotes survival/progression by inducing cellular antioxidants/bioenergetics. ⺠Induction of anabolic metabolism by PGC-1α promotes cancer growth. ⺠Contradictory studies suggest PGC-1α inhibits tumor growth.
