Abstract Background Tissue regeneration is a process that need a high demand of oxygen and energy supply. Cytoglobin (Cygb) is a hexacoordinate globin superfamily that possesses strong oxygen-binding ability. Cygb also has a role in preventing cells from oxidative stress and carrying oxygen into the mitochondria. The production of energy for regeneration is associated with mitochondria, especially mitochondrial biogenesis. The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator (PGC-1α) is aprotein that plays an important role in regulating mitochondrial biogenesis. The house gecko (Hemidactylus platyurus) is a reptile with high ability for tissue regeneration in its tail. The house gecko was selected as the animal model for this research to analyse the role of Cygb which is associated with oxygen supply and PGC-1α that is related to energy production in tissue regeneration. Results The curve for the tail growth showed three different phases. Cygb mRNA was highly expressed during tissue regeneration. PGC-1α mRNA was expressed earlier than Cygb, with a lower expression but still higher than the control. Conclusions During the tail tissue regeneration process of the house gecko, the expression of Cygb and PGC-1α were dynamic and relatively higher than their expression observed in the control. Cygb and PGC-1α were suspected to have a significant role in the tissue regeneration process.
