Modeling exercise using optogenetically contractible Drosophila larvae

ABSTRACT: The pathophysiological effects of a number of metabolic and age-related disorders can be prevented to some extent by exercise and increased physical activity. However, the molecular mechanisms that contribute to the beneficial effects of muscle activity remain poorly explored. Availability of a fast, inexpensive, and genetically tractable model for muscle activity and exercise will allow rapid identification and characterization of the molecular mechanisms that mediate the beneficial effects of muscle activity. Here, we report the development and characterization of an optogenetically-inducible muscle contraction (OMC) model in Drosophila larvae that we used to model acute exercise-like physiological responses. To characterize muscle-specific transcriptional responses to acute exercise, we performed bulk mRNA-sequencing, revealing striking similarities between acute exercise-induced genes in flies and those previously identified in humans. Our larval muscle contraction model opens a path for rapid identification and characterization of exercise-induced factors.

Expression profiling of a cellular exercise model based on the electrical pulse stimulation.

Project description:Appropriate amount of exercise is the best way to prevent various diseases and have a healthy life. Skeletal muscles communicate with other organs through myokines, which are secreted by muscle itself during exercise and elicit various effects in the body. However, despite the years of efforts to understand molecular mechanisms of crosstalk between muscle and other organs that mediate the beneficial effects of exercise are not completely understood. To identify novel myokines, we used an in vitro exercise model in C2C12 cells using the electrical pulse stimulation (EPS) that can mimic muscle contraction. We generated RNA-seq data of seven in vitro samples to costruct a prediction model based on differentially expressed genes, showing significantly mimicking in vivo exercise.

An electrical pulse stimulation protocol to study acute epigenetic response to muscle cell contraction uncovers acute hydroxymethylation of the exercise-responsive gene Nr4a3 [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Physical exercise triggers numerous positive adaptations through the regulation of genes controlling muscle structure and function. Epigenetic factors like DNA methylation participate in transcriptional activation by allowing the recruitment of the transcription machinery to gene promoters. Exercise induces dynamic DNA demethylation at gene promoters, but the contribution of the demethylation precursor hydroxymethylcytosine is unknown. Given the evanescent nature of hydroxymethylcytosine, a model of muscle contraction amenable to collection of repeated and acute time series is requested to determine if contraction-induced demethylation is preceded by increased hydroxymethylcytosine levels. Here, we aimed to establish an acute skeletal muscle contraction model that could, at least partly, mimic the effect of acute exercise on gene expression, in order to investigate the effect of muscle contraction in DNA demethylation and hydroxymethylation. We refined an Electrical Pulse Stimulation (EPS) protocol in C2C12 myotubes that we benchmarked to the nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 3 (Nr4a3) gene, a gene selected for having the highest increase in expression in response to acute exercise in humans. Using targeted bisulfite sequencing, we found that a region of the Nr4a3 promoter is rapidly demethylated 60 minutes after EPS and subsequently re-methylated after 120 minutes. Of interest, hydroxymethylation of the differentially methylated region of Nr4a3 promoter after EPS was elevated at 0 minutes and reached lowest levels at 60 minutes after EPS. We established a cell culture-based protocol to mimic acute transcriptional responses to exercise and provide insight into the mechanism by which exercise-responsive genes are demethylated after muscle contraction

Engineering of human myotubes towards a mature metabolic and contractile phenotype

Project description:Skeletal muscle mediates the beneficial effects of exercise, thereby improving insulin sensitivity and reducing the risk for type 2 diabetes. Current skeletal-muscle-models in vitro are incapable of fully recapitulating its physiological functions especially regarding exercise. Supplementation of IGF1, a growth factor secreted by myofibers in vivo, might help to overcome these limitations. Primary human CD56-positive myoblasts were differentiated into myotubes in the presence/absence of IGF1 in serum-free medium for 10 days. Daily collected samples were analyzed by proteomics, qRT-PCR and myotube contractibility via electrical-pulse-stimulation (EPS). Mitochondrial respiration and glucose uptake were measured. IGF1-supported differentiation formed thicker multinucleated myotubes showing physiological contraction upon EPS following day 6 while myotubes without IGF1 were almost incapable of contraction. IGF1-treatment upregulated particularly muscle-specific proteins that contribute to myofibril and sarcomere assembly, striated muscle contraction, and ATP production. Elevated PPARGC1A, MYH7 and reduced MYH1/2 suggest a switch towards a more oxidative phenotype in line with elevated mitochondrial respiration. IGF1-treatment also upregulated expression of GLUT4 and increased insulin-dependent glucose uptake. To conclude, utilizing IGF1, we engineered human myotubes that recapitulate the physiological traits of skeletal muscle in vivo vastly superior to established protocols. This novel model enables investigation of exercise on a molecular level, drug screening and interorgan-crosstalk by transfer to organ-on-chip.

Distinctive exercise-induced inflammatory response and exerkine induction in skeletal muscle of people with type 2 diabetes

Project description:Mechanistic insights into the molecular events by which exercise enhances the skeletal muscle phenotype are lacking, particularly in the context of type 2 diabetes. Here we unravel a fundamental role for exercise-responsive cytokines (exerkines) on skeletal muscle development and growth in individuals with normal glucose tolerance or type 2 diabetes. Acute exercise triggered an inflammatory response in skeletal muscle, concomitant with an infiltration of immune cells. These exercise effects were potentiated in type 2 diabetes. In response to contraction or hypoxia, cytokines were mainly produced by endothelial cells and macrophages. The chemokine CXCL12 was induced by hypoxia in endothelial cells, as well as by conditioned medium from contracted myotubes in macrophages. We found that CXCL12 was associated with skeletal muscle remodeling after exercise and differentiation of cultured muscle. Collectively, acute aerobic exercise mounts a non-canonical inflammatory response, with an atypical production of exerkines, which is potentiated in type 2 diabetes.

Effect of optogenetic-induced muscle loading on the transcriptomics of murine Achilles tendon and calcaneus

Project description:We used optogenetics to induce skeletal muscle contraction and unilaterally load the Achilles tendon and enthesis in young (i.e., during growth) Acta1Cre;Ai32 mice. We then performed gene expression analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of optogenetically loaded tendon and enthesis (bone) at two time points.

Quantitative LC-MSMS of human muscle cells after electrical pulse stimulation

Project description:We hypothesized that muscle contraction produces a cellular stress signal capable to increase lipolysis to sustain fuel availability during exercise. The aim of the present study was to identify novel exercise-regulated myokines, aka exerkines, able to promote lipolysis in human adipocytes. To this end, human primary myotubes from lean healthy volunteers were submitted to electrical pulse stimulation to mimic either acute intense or chronic moderate exercise. Conditioned media experiments with hMADS adipocytes were performed. Unbiased proteomic and ELISA analyses were applied in conditioned media and human plasma samples. Real-time qPCR was performed in cultured myotubes and muscle biopsy samples.

Phosphoproteomics of rodent exercise models

Project description:Exercise stimulates systemic and tissue-specific adaptations that protect against lifestyle related diseases including obesity and type 2 diabetes. Exercise places high mechanical and energetic demands on contracting skeletal muscle, which require finely-tuned protein post-translational modifications involving signal transduction (e.g. phosphorylation) to elicit appropriate short- and long-term adaptive responses. To uncover the breadth of protein phosphorylation events underlying the adaptive responses to endurance exercise and skeletal muscle contraction, we performed global, unbiased mass spectrometry-based phosphoproteomic analyses of skeletal muscle from two rodent models, in situ muscle contraction in rats and treadmill-based endurance exercise in mice.

Exercise-induced Crosstalk between Immune Cells and Adipocytes in Humans: Role of Oncostatin-M

Project description:The discovery of novel exercise-regulated circulatory factors has fueled interest in the role of organ-crosstalk, especially between skeletal muscle and adipose tissue in mediating beneficial effects of exercise. We studied the adipose tissue transcriptome in men and women with normal glucose tolerance or type 2 diabetes following an acute exercise bout, revealing substantial exercise and time-dependent changes, and a sustained increase in inflammatory genes unique to Type 2 diabetes. We identify Oncostatin-M as one of the most upregulated adipose tissue secreted factors post exercise. In cultured human adipocytes, oncostatin-M enhanced MAPK signalling and regulates lipolysis. Oncostatin-M expression predominantly arises from adipose tissue immune cell fractions, while the corresponding receptors are expressed in adipocytes. Oncostatin-M expression is induced in cultured human Thp1 macrophages in response to exercise-like stimuli. Our results suggest immune cells, via secreted factors such as oncostatin-M, are important in crosstalk between skeletal muscle and adipose tissue during exercise, to regulate adipocyte metabolism and adaptation.

Single-cell sequencing deconvolutes cellular responses to exercise in human skeletal muscle

Project description:Regular physical activity is a key concept associated with a variety of health-related outcomes and successful ageing. While many of the beneficial effects of physical activity are undisputed, much of the adaptive mechanisms that lead to these benefits are not yet known. The skeletal muscle is a key contributor to physical performance and is also the target organ for many of the adaptive processes associated with exercise. Skeletal muscle is highly plastic, and changes in physical activity lead to a plethora of adaptive processes that, when repeated over time, result in structural and functional adaptations. Here we use single cell sequencing in humans to outline the effects of physical activity on cellular composition and cell type-specific processes in skeletal muscle. We show that myogenic cells in human skeletal muscle can be divided into three groups characterized by different degrees of cell maturation, and that exercise stimulates subpopulation of undifferentiated stem/progenitor myogenic cells to mature toward slow- or fast-twitch fibers. The cell type-specific adaptive mechanisms induced by exercise presented here contribute to the understanding of the skeletal muscle adaptations triggered by physical activity and may ultimately have implications for physiological and pathological processes affecting skeletal muscle, such as sarcopenia, cachexia, and glucose homeostasis.
