Project description:Exercise improves brain function enhancing neuronal plasticity and cognitive enhancement. For voluntary resistance wheel running (RWR) exercise, with a load of 30% of body weight, we reported enhancement of neurogenesis and spatial memory associated with hippocampal brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) signaling compared to wheel running (WR) without a load (Lee et al., 2012; Lee et al., 2013). Despite these new evidences, mechanisms for RWR-induced improvement of hippocampal function remained to be clarified. In the present study, we have utilized the high-throughput DNA microarray approach to gain deep insight into molecular mechanisms underlying these changes that could be novel targets of RWR-induced hippocampal plasticity. To do so, whole genome (4x44K) high-density oligonucleotide microarrays were used to monitor the expression level of gene transcripts in the hippocampus of rats voluntary running for 4 weeks in comparison with sedentary animals. These rats showed a significant decrease in average running distance although average work levels immensely increased 12-fold in the RWR group, resulting in muscular adaptation for the fast-twitch plantaris muscle. DNA microarray analysis revealed that 122 (sedentary x WR) and 157 (sedentary x RWR) genes were up-regulated (> 1.5-fold change) as compared with 97 (sedentary x WR) and 467 (sedentary x RWR) down-regulated genes (< 0.75-fold change). Functional categorization using the Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) revealed expression pattern changes in the major categories of disease and disorders, molecular functions and physiological system development and function. Among these, RWR up-regulated genes such as NFATc1, AVPR1A and FGFR4, which are crucial role for neuronal development and its functions. The down-regulated inflammatory cytokines (IL1B, IL10, IL2RA, TNF) and chemokines (CXCL1, CXCL9, CXCL10, CCL2, CCL13, CCR4) might be important to neuronal dysfunction and vulnerability. Taken together, these gene candidates are suggested to play a critical role in hippocampal plasticity. This is a first study presenting not only new information into the voluntary RWR influenced transcriptome in the rat hippocampus, but also provides a hypothesis for the RWR influenced enhancement in brain function.

Project description:Exercise induces the release of extracellular vesicles (EVs) into the circulation, which transmit signals between organs. EVs contain microRNAs (miRNAs) that inhibit mRNA translation or enhance mRNA degradation. However, the effects of exercise-induced EVs on anxiety remain poorly understood. We used microarrays to figure out the global alteration of gene expression in the hippocampus underlying stress and sedentary or exercise-induced EVs.

This is a first study presenting not only new information into the voluntary RWR influenced transcriptome in the rat hippocampus, but also provides a hypothesis for the RWR influenced enhancement in brain function. 10-week-old male Wistar rats were randomly allocated to three groups: (1) housed in standard cages and used as non-active controls (sedentary, n = 10), (2) wheel running with no resistance (WR, n = 8), and (3) housed in cages with resistance running wheels with an adjustable resistance (RWR, n = 8). Rats of both running wheel groups (WR and RWR) were housed individually and had free access to a specially designed running wheel apparatus for 24 h/day. Between 08:00 and 12:00 on the day after the final day of exercise, the animals were immediately decapitated using a guillotine. The hippocampi were rapidly dissected, snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at —80°C prior to further analysis. The deep-frozen hippocampi were transferred to a precooled (in liquid nitrogen) mortar and ground with a pestle to a very fine powder with liquid nitrogen. Total RNA was extracted and validated followed by checking subsequently synthesized cDNA by RT-PCR. A rat 4x44K whole genome oligo DNA microarray chip was used for global gene expression analysis using the hippocampi. Fluorescently labeled targets of Sed, WR and RWR samples were hybridized to the same microarray slide with 60-mer probes. A flip labeling (dye swap or reverse labeling with Cy3 and Cy5 dyes) procedure was followed to nullify the dye bias associated with unequal incorporation of the two Cy dyes into cDNA. Briefly, to select differentially expressed genes, we identified genes that were up regulated in chip 1 (Cy3/Cy5 label for sedentary and WR, respectively) but down regulated in chip 2 (Cy3/Cy5 label for WR and sedentary, respectively) for the hippocampus. The same selection criteria were applied for chips 3-4 (sedentary and RWR). Hybridization and wash processes were performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and hybridized microarrays were scanned using an agilent microarray scanner. The functional and network analysis were generated through the use of IPA (Ingenuity® Systems, www.ingenuity.com). To validate gene changes in array data and test the BDNF signaling-related molecules and expression of select transcripts were determined by quantitative real-time RT-PCR.

Project description:Physical activity is considered a promising preventive intervention to reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, the positive effect of exercise therapy has not been proven conclusively yet, likely due to confounding factors such as varying activity regimens and life or disease stages. To examine the impact of different exercise regimens in the early disease stages, we subjected young 5xFAD and wild-type mice to 1-day (acute, 3-month-old) and 30-day (chronic, 2-month-old) voluntary wheel running and compared them with age-matched sedentary controls. We observed a significant increase in brain lactate levels in acutely trained 5xFAD mice relative to all other experimental groups. Subsequent RNA-seq analysis from brain did not reveal major differences in transcriptomic regulation between training durations in 5xFAD mice. In contrast, acute training yielded large gene expression differences in wild-type animals relative to their chronically trained and sedentary counterparts. The comparison of 5xFAD and wild-type mice showed the highest transcriptional differences in the chronic and sedentary groups, whereas acute training was associated with much fewer DEGs. In conclusion, our results suggest that different training durations did not affect the global transcriptome of 3-month-old 5xFAD mice, whereas acute running seemed to induce a similar transcriptional stress state in wild-type animals as already known for 5xFAD mice.

Project description:Currently, the mechanisms behind the anti-aging effects of exercise are not understood. The presented study conducted a microarray on hippocampal samples from adult (3.5 month-old) and aged (18 month-old) male BALB/c mice that were individually housed with or without running wheels for 8 weeks. Results showed that aging altered genes related to chromatin remodeling, cell growth, immune activity, and synapse organization compared to adult mice. Exercise was found to modulate many of the genes altered by aging, but in the opposite direction. For example, wheel running increased expression of genes related to cell growth and attenuated expression of genes involved in immune function and chromatin remodeling. Collectively, findings show that even late-onset exercise may attenuate age-related changes in gene expression and identifies possible pathways through which exercise may exert its beneficial effects. In total 20 samples (4 aged exercise, 4 aged sedentary, 6 adult exercise, and 6 adult sedentary) plus 4 technical replicates (24 total) were analyzed.

Project description:n total, 16 7-week-old male F344 rats were subjected to model regular exercise and sedentary lifestyle. In the second week after arrival and acclimatization to the reversed light/dark cycle, rats were introduced to the forced running wheel without a specific running mode. It was followed by a 12-day training phase for all 16 experimental animals (started at 9 weeks of age) by gradually increasing the running speed and duration. During the training phase, 8 best performers were selected for the runner group while the remaining 8 rats were assigned to the sedentary group. The regular forced running exercise phase for the runner group lasted for 5 weeks in total, including 4 weeks of regular running. After 4 weeks of regular exercise, rats underwent brief anesthesia and of blood from the tail vein were taken. This step was repeated for the same animals immediately after 1h of running. On the same day, a blood sample was collected from the sedentary rats following the same protocol. Plasma was collected and immediately frozen for further EV isolation. EVs were isolated from rat plasma by size exclusion chromatography. RNA libraries were constructed using CleanTag® Small RNA Library Prep Kit (Trilink Biotechnologies, USA) and sequenced on Illumina NextSeq500 instrument using NextSeq 500/550 Mid Output Kit v2.5 (150 cycles).

Project description:Gene expression data at rest and immediately post 30 min submaximal exercise in 3 month and 16 month old male rats, some of which were sedentary (SED), had access to a physical activity box twice weekly (PA) and some of which had daily access to a running wheel (EX). We used microarrays to detail global gene expression underlying select health-related phenotypes and identified differentially expressed genes among the three groups. Young (3 month) and old (16 month) male rats were separated into three different groups: Sedentary (SED), twice-weekly physical activity (PA), and regular exercise (EX). Animals were sacrificed either at rest or after 30 min of sub maximal exercise. Then, a portion of cardiac tissue was collected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
