Project description:Seventy two rats were randomized to twelve independent groups of rats (n = 6 in all groups) where half of the rats were chosen for training (treadmill exercise training 1.5 hour 5 days a week, in 1, 4, 24, 48 days and for 4 and 8 weeks) or sedentary (no training) as described in detail by Wisloff et al. (Intensity-controlled treadmill running in rats: VO(2 max) and cardiac hypertrophy. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol. 2001 Mar;280(3):H1301-10.) or Kemi et al.(Aerobic fitness is associated with cardiomyocyte contractile capacity and endothelial function in exercise training and detraining. Circulation. 2004 Jun 15;109(23):2897-904. Epub 2004 Jun 1.). The rats were scarified one hour after training (1, 4, 24 and 48 days) or 24 hours after training (4 and 8 weeks). Biopsies form left ventricle was taken form all rats and stored on -80°C for preparation of RNA. The same procedures were performed for the control/sedentary rats which were sacrificed at the same time as the exercised rats.

Project description:Endurance exercise training has been shown to decrease whole-body and skeletal muscle insulin resistance and increase glucose tolerance in conditions of both pre-diabetes and overt type 2 diabetes. However, the adaptive responses in skeletal muscle at the molecular and genetic level for these beneficial effects of exercise training have not been clearly established in an animal model of pre-diabetes. The present study identifies alterations in skeletal muscle gene expression that occur with exercise training in pre-diabetic, insulin-resistant obese Zucker (fa/fa) rats and insulin-sensitive lean Zucker (Fa/-) rats. Treadmill running for up to 4 weeks caused significant enhancements of glucose tolerance as assessed by the integrated area under the curve for glucose (AUCg) during an oral glucose tolerance test in both lean and obese animals. Using microarray analysis, a set of only 12 genes was identified as both significantly altered (>1.5-fold change relative to sedentary controls; p<0.05) and significantly correlated (p<0.05) with the AUCg. Two of these genes, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-g coactivator 1a (PGC-1a) and the z-isoform of protein kinase C (PKC-z), have known involvement in the regulation of skeletal muscle glucose transport. We confirmed that protein expression levels of PGC-1a and PKC-z were positively correlated with the mRNA expression levels for these two genes. Overall, this study has identified a limited number of genes in soleus muscle of lean and obese Zucker rats that are associated with decreased insulin resistance and increase glucose tolerance following endurance exercise training. These findings could guide the development of pharmaceutical M-^Sexercise mimeticsM-^T in the treatment of insulin-resistant, pre-diabetic or overtly type 2 diabetic individuals.

Project description:Intestinal calcium absorption is the sole pathway to supply calcium to the body and duodenum is the most efficient site of calcium absorption. Endurance exercise with moderate intensity significantly increased the intestinal calcium absorption. The unloaded non-impact excercise, such as swimming may enhance calcium absorption. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms of this change have not been investigated. Thus, a genome-wide study by using microarray should reveal changes in the expression of several transporter genes in the intestinal absorptive cells of swimming excercised rats. Keywords: Gene expression; Comparative genomic hybridization Twelve rats were randomly divided into control and swimming groups. Swimming rats were initially trained for a week until they could swim non stop 1 hour/day. Swimming frequency was 5 days/week for 2 weeks. The age-matched control remained sedentary for 2 weeks in a swimming pool. At the end of the swimming protocol, the intestinal segments of rats were removed for total RNA extraction and microarray study.

Project description:Rodents are commonly housed below thermoneutrality (~20°C) 1. Under these conditions there is a substantial effect on rodent physiology including the hyperactivation of brown (BAT) and beige adipose tissue 2. Here, we raised animals from weaning, on an obesogenic diet at thermoneutrality (28°C) to closer mimic human physiology and determine the impact of a) moderate cold exposure (i.e. 20°C, a temperature reduction of ~8°C) or b) treatment with YM-178, a highly-selective, clinically used β3-adrenoreceptor agonist on classical BAT or subcutaneous inguinal (IWAT) beige depots. Under these conditions, uncoupling protein 1 mRNA was undetectable in IWAT in all groups. Maintenance at 20°C drove weight gain and a 125% increase in subcutaneous fat, an effect not seen with YM-178 administration thus suggesting a direct effect of ambient temperature in promoting weight gain and adiposity in obese rats. Using exploratory adipose tissue proteomics we reveal novel processes and pathways associated with cold-induced weight gain in BAT (i.e. histone deacetylation and glycosphingolipid biosynthesis) and IWAT (i.e. NAD+ binding and retinol metabolism). Conversely, YM-178 had minimal metabolic-related effects on BAT and drove a pro-inflammatory phenotype in IWAT. Exercise training elicits diverse effects on brown (BAT) and white adipose tissue (WAT) physiology in rodents housed below their thermoneutral zone (i.e. 28-32°C). In these conditions, BAT is chronically hyperactive and, unlike human residence, closer to thermoneutrality. Therefore, we set out to determine the effects of exercise training in obese animals at 28°C (i.e. thermoneutrality) on BAT and WAT in its basal (i.e. inactive) state. Sprague-Dawley rats (n=12) were housed at thermoneutrality from 3 weeks of age and fed a high-fat diet. At 12 weeks of age half these animals were randomised to 4-weeks of swim-training (1 hour/day, 5 days per week). Following a metabolic assessment interscapular and perivascular BAT and inguinal (I)WAT were taken for analysis of thermogenic genes and the proteome. Exercise attenuated weight gain but did not affect total fat mass or thermogenic gene expression. Proteomics revealed an impact of exercise training on2-oxoglutarate metabolic process, mitochondrial respiratory chain complex IV, carbon metabolism and oxidative phosphorylation. This was accompanied by an upregulation of multiple proteins involved in skeletal muscle physiology suggesting an adipocyte to myocyte switch in BAT. UCP1 mRNA was undetectable in IWAT with proteomics highlighting changes to DNA binding, the positive regulation of apoptosis, HIF-1 signalling and cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction.

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. 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: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:Physical exercise training is a known protective factor against cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Nevertheless, the underlying specific molecular mechanisms still remain uncompletely explored. To identify molecular mechanisms by which exercise training induces this favorable phenotype a genomic approach was used in an animal model of mild exercise previously demonstrated by our group to induce cardioprotection. Our data indicate that mild exercise by inducing no or few permanent changes in gene expression profile is able to determine cardioprotection without induction of cardiac hypertrophy. Experiment Overall Design: We investigated the gene expression profile by Affymetrix technology (230 2.0 GeneChip rat genome array) induced by mild exercise training (treadmill running: 25 m/min, 10% incline, 1 h/day, 3 days/week, 10 weeks) on left ventricle (LV) of exercise-trained (n=10) and sedentary control (n=10) rats.

Project description:Dahl salt-sensitive (DS) rats were obtained from Harlan Sprague Dawley Laboratory at 5 weeks of age. At 6 weeks of age, physiologic cardiac hypertrophy was generated by a vigorous daily exercise regimen for 6 weeks (e group). The exercise protocol is based on those described previously with modifications (Wisloff U et al., 2001; Jin H et al., 1994). Rats were exercised daily for 6 weeks on a rodent treadmill (Exer-6M; Columbus Instruments). The exercise program consisted of three weeks of progressively strenuous exercise regimens; followed by three weeks of maintenance period, during which the rats were exercised at 16 m/min at a 5o incline for 90 minutes/day. All rats completed the exercise protocol. Pathological cardiac hypertrophy was generated by feeding a 6% NaCl diet to DS rats at 6 weeks of age (h group) (Inoko M et al., 1994). Control rats (c group) were age matched and sedentary DS rats fed normal rat chow. Read more at http://cardiogenomics.med.harvard.edu/groups/proj1/pages/rat_home.html Keywords: other

Project description:Purpose: Aerobic capacity is a strong predictor of cardiovascular mortality. To determine the relationship between inborn aerobic capacity and soleus gene expression we examined genome-wide gene expression in soleus muscle of rats artificially selected for high and low running capacity (HCR and LCR, respectively) over 16 generations. The artificial selection of LCR caused accumulation of risk factors of cardiovascular disease similar to the metabolic syndrome seen in man, whereas HCR had markedly better cardiac function. We also studied alterations in gene expression in response to exercise training in the two groups, since accumulating evidence indicates that exercise has profound beneficial effects on the metabolic syndrome. Methods:; Soleus gene expression of both sedentary and exercise trained HCR and LCR was characterized by microarray- and gene ontology analysis. Results: Although HCR and LCR had an inborn 347% difference in running capacity, only three genes were found differentially expressed in the soleus muscle between the two groups. Up-regulation of the mitochondrial enzyme leucyl-transferRNA synthetase (LARS2) was found in the sedentary LCR. Increased expression of LARS2 has been associated with a mitochondrial DNA mutation linked to maternally inherited diabetes and mitochondrial dysfunction. In line with our findings, a growing body of evidence suggests that LCR have compromised mitochondrial function. After exercise training, 58 genes were altered in the soleus muscle of HCR, in contrast to only one in the LCR group. This suggests that animals born with different levels of fitness respond different to the same type of exercise training. Adaptations to exercise in HCR seemed to be associated with increased lipid metabolism and fatty acid elongation in the mitochondria. Also, genes associated with the peroxisomes, seemed to be central in the adaptation to exercise. Conclusion: The results indicate that (i) LCR might have mitochondrial dysfunction, which may be a contributing factor of the low inborn aerobic capacity, (ii) animals born with different levels of fitness respond different to the same exercise program. Experiment Overall Design: There are 16 samples in this study.
