C-Reactive Protein Is Elevated Only in High Creatine Kinase Responders to Muscle Damaging Exercise.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to investigate if exertional rhabdomyolysis induced by an acute bout of plyometric exercise in untrained individuals was associated with histological characteristics of skeletal muscle, creatine kinase (CK) polymorphism or secondary damage. Twenty-six healthy male untrained individuals completed a bout of plyometric exercise (10 sets of 10 maximal squat jumps, with each standardized to achieve at least 95% of individual maximal jump height). Blood samples were taken, and perceived pain was scored immediately before the exercise intervention and 6 h, 1, 2, and 3 days post-intervention. Muscle biopsies were collected 9 or 4 days before (baseline) and 3 days after plyometric jumps. Subjects were divided into two groups, high (n = 10) and low responders (n = 16), based on a cut-off limit for exertional rhabdomyolysis of peak CK activity ? 1000 U/L in any post-exercise blood sample. Perceived pain was more severe assessed in squat than standing position. Low responders perceived more pain at 6 h and 1 day, while high responders perceived more pain than low responders on days three and four after exercise; structural (dystrophin staining) and ultra-structural (transmission electron microscopy) analysis of muscle fibers revealed no baseline pathology; damage was evident in all individuals in both groups, with no difference between high and low responders in either damage or fiber type proportion. High responders had significantly higher total white blood cell and neutrophil counts 6 h and significantly higher C-reactive protein (CRP) 6 h and days one and two after exercise compared to low responders. High responders had significantly greater muscle myeloperoxidase (MPO) levels in baseline and 3 day post-exercise biopsies compared to baseline of low responders. MLCK C49T single polymorphism was present in 26% of volunteers, whose CK responses were not higher than those with MLCK CC or CT genotype. In conclusion, perceived pain is more effectively assessed with potentially affected muscle under eccentric strain, even if static. High CK responders also have pronounced CRP responses to unaccustomed plyometric exercise intervention. Exertional rhabdomyolysis after unaccustomed eccentric exercise may be related to underlying inability to resolve intramuscular MPO.

Project description:Aerobic exercise capacity is a strong predictor of disease and survivability but the utility of exercise intervention is largely dependent on how one’s genome interacts with an exercise-training environment. A newly developed rat model selectively bred for inherited differences in response to aerobic exercise training shows to be a useful resource to sort out the networks of genes responsible for signalling exercise-induced changes that benefit cardiac function. Animals The study consisted of four groups: 1) HRT trained rats (HRT-T), 2) LRT trained rats (LRT-T) 3) HRT untrained sedentary rats (HRT-S) and 4) LRT untrained sedentary rats (LRT-S) (n=5 in each group). Experimental protocols were approved by the Institutional Animal Research Ethics Council, Norway. Sample collection Left ventricle tissue was snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80oC to time of analysis. RNA isolation RNA was isolated from the left ventricle (20 mg) with the mirVana RNA isolation kit (Ambion) according to the manufacturer's instructions. RNA integrity, purity and quantity were assessed by Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, US) and Nanodrop (NanoDrop Technologies, Baltimore, US). The concentration of total RNA was measured by Nanodrop with ultraviolet spectrophotometry at 260/280 nm. RNA quality was assessed by electrophoresis on Bioanalyzer chips (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, US). Only samples with a 260/280-ratio of more than 1.8, and RNA integrity number (RIN) value above 8 was analyzed. Microarray analysis Samples were hybridized to Applied Biosystems Rat Genome Survey chips v.1.0. All samples were labelled at the same time, and hybridised over two days. The biological groups were balanced between the two hybridisation batches and the samples randomly distributed within this format. Samples were analyzed by the Applied Biosystems 1700 Array Expression System. The following threes comparisons were done: A: HRT-S vs. LRT-S B: HRT-S vs. HRT-T C: LRT-S vs. LRT-T Differentially expressed gene analysis The data files from the AB 1700 Chemiluminescent Microarray Analyzer Software were processed using J-Express Pro v.2.8. The signal intensity values were extracted per spot, and all flagged and control spots were filtered out. Before compiled into an expression profile data matrix, all arrays were quantile normalized to be comparable. Genes with at most 20% missing values were allowed in the final dataset. The signal intensities in the dataset were further log transformed, and missing values were replaced using the method LSimpute Adaptive. The search for differentially expressed genes was performed both on a single gene and gene set level. Rank Product was used to look for differentially expressed genes on a gene by gene basis, while Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) was used to look for sets of genes sharing common characteristics that were differentially expressed between the classes examined. Gene sets were created using the Panther Biological Processes (241 gene sets) and Panther Molcular Functions (252 gene sets). This information was extracted from the Applied Biosystems Human Annotation File, dated September 30th 2006, with updated information from a Panther search carried out on February 1st 2008. Gene sets smaller than 15 and larger than 500 were excluded from the GSEA. GSEA First the genes were ranked according to Golub score, which t is the default method for GSEA. Next an enrichment score (ES) was calculated for each gene set. For instance, when calculating the ES for the gene set “T-cell mediated immunity”, GSEA starts by looking at the gene ranked on top of the genelist. If this gene is a member of T-cell mediated immunity, a positive score is added to the ES, otherwise a negative score is added. Then the next gene on the gene list is evaluated and the ES is updated. This process is repeated for every gene in the entire gene list. The green line in Figure 1 shows how the value of ES changes when evaluating the genes in the ranked list. The maximum value obtained during this “walk” is used as ES for the gene set. Also worth noting is that the positive score that is added to the enrichment score is weigthed, so that a higher score is added when a gene higher on the ranked list is found to be a member of the gene set than when a gene lower on the ranked list is marked with a hit. Therefore, a high ES means that the gene set is overrepresented towards the top of the ranked list. Gene sets with less than 10 members or more than 500 members were removed from the analysis.

Project description:Pre-sleep whey protein intake has been shown to improve overnight muscle protein synthesis, muscle size and strength, and muscle recovery. Despite a growing interest in alternative protein sources, such as plant-based protein, there is no evidence regarding the efficacy of plant-based proteins consumed pre-sleep. Therefore, we aimed to compare whey vs. plant-based pre-sleep protein dietary supplementation on muscle recovery in middle-aged men. Twenty-seven recreationally active, middle-aged men performed 5 sets of 15 repetitions of maximal eccentric voluntary contractions (ECC) for the knee extensors (ext) and flexors (flex), respectively, in the morning. Participants consumed 40 g of either whey hydrolysate (WH, n = 9), whey isolate (WI, n = 6), rice and pea combination (RP, n = 6), or placebo (PL, n = 6) 30 min pre-sleep on the day of ECC and the following two nights. Catered meals (15% PRO, 55% CHO, 30% Fat) were provided to participants for 5 days to standardize nutrition. Plasma creatine kinase (CK), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin-10 (IL-10) were measured at pre, immediately post (+0), +4, +6, +24, +48, and +72 h post-ECC. Isometric (ISOM) and isokinetic (ISOK) maximal voluntary contraction force were measured at pre, immediately post (+0), +24, +48, and +72 h post-ECC. Muscle soreness, thigh circumference, and HOMA-IR were measured at pre, +24, +48, and +72 h post-ECC. CK was increased at +4 h post-ECC, remained elevated at all time points compared to baseline (p < 0.001), and was significantly greater at +72 h compared to all other time points (p < 0.001). IL-6 was increased at +6 h (p = 0.002) with no other time differing from baseline. ISOMext was reduced after ECC (p = 0.001) and remained reduced until returning to baseline at +72 h. ISOMflex, ISOKext, and ISOKflex were reduced after ECC and remained reduced at +72 h (p < 0.001). Muscle soreness increased post-ECC (p < 0.001) and did not return to baseline. Thigh circumference (p = 0.456) and HOMA-IR (p = 0.396) did not change post-ECC. There were no significant differences between groups for any outcome measure. These data suggest that middle-aged men consuming 1.08 ± 0.02 g/kg/day PRO did not recover from damaging eccentric exercise at +72 h and that pre-sleep protein ingestion, regardless of protein source, did not aid in muscle recovery when damaging eccentric exercise was performed in the morning.
