To identify novel PGC-1α-dependent transcripts in the cerebellum, we used an approach our laboratory recently used to identify PGC-1α-dependent genes in the cortex in which we mined microarray data comparing human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells overexpressing PGC-1α and GFP in tandem to cells expressing GFP alone (Lucas et al., 2014; GEO NCBI database registration in progress). Here, PPARGC1A is linked to neuroblastoma.
