MoTrPAC - Endurance Exercise Training Study In 6 Months Old Rats [RRBS]

ABSTRACT: The goal of the endurance exercise training study in young adult rats was to perform exercise training studies in young adult (6-month-old) F344 rats, and from these rats collect multiple tissues in order to provide high quality samples for detailed analysis by chemical analysis sites. Tissues were collected from 10-12 rats sedentary control rats concurrent with the collection of the 8-week training groups. The 8-week training group and controls were from the same cohort and same age at euthanasia. For the older age group, an additional set of controls (n=5-6) were collected with the 1-2 week training group. Rats were either sedentary or underwent an exercise training program. Rats were exercised on the rodent treadmill 5 days per week using a progressive training protocol designed to exercise the rats at approximately 70% of VO2max and training was performed no earlier than 10:00 am and no later than 5:00 pm over 5 consecutive days per week. Training was initiated with the treadmill set at 70% of VO2 max and 5 degrees grade for 20 minutes. The duration of exercise was increased by one minute each day until day 31 of training (start of week 7), when a duration of 50 min was reached. Speed and grade of each training session increased in larger increments due to treadmill parameters. The highest intensity and duration of training began on day 31. This intensity was maintained for the final 10 days of the protocol to ensure steady state had been achieved. If any rats were unable to perform at least 4 days of training per week they were removed from the study and euthanized. It is important to note that the starting treadmill speed varied depending on the sex and age of the rat. The initial and maximum speeds were based on VO2max measurements obtained during the pre-training testing of the compliant rats. Rats assigned to the control group followed a schedule similar to the training group. They were placed in one lane on the treadmill for 15 minutes/day, 5 days per week. The treadmill was set at 0 m/min at an incline that corresponded to the incline being used by the training group.

Project description:White blood cells (WBCs) express tens of thousands of genes. Their expression levels are modified by genetic and external factors. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of acute exercise on gene expression profiles (GEPs) of WBCs and to identify suitable genes which may serve as surrogate markers for monitoring exercise and training load. Five male probands performed an exhaustive treadmill test (ET) at 80% of their VO2max, and a moderate treadmill test (MT) at 60% VO2max for exactly the same time one to two week later. White blood cells (WBCs) were isolated by the erythrocyte lysis method. Gene expression profiles were measured using the Affymetrix GeneChipÂ® technology. After scaling, normalisation, and filtering groupwise and pairwise comparisons of gene expression intensities were performed and validated by real-time PCR. We found 450 genes up-regulated and 150 down-regulated (> 1.5-fold change; ANOVA with Benjamini-Hochberg correction for multiple testing, p<0.05) upon exhaustive exercise. Analysis of mean expression levels after MT showed that the extent of up- and down-regulation was workload dependent. The genes for the stress proteins HSPA1A, HSPH1 and the matrix metalloproteinase MMP-9 showed the most prominent increases whereas the mRNA concentrations of the YES1 oncogene (YES1), of CD160 (BY55), and of a member of the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ATP5s) were most strongly reduced. Remarkably, we could largely reproduce the data from a previous report by Connolly et al. (01) even though we used considerably different methodology. After acute exercise the genes with increased expression levels were highly significantly associated with the gene ontology terms heat-shock proteins, apoptosis and inflammation. The results demonstrate that gene expression changes in WBCs can reflect intensity and duration of exercise. Further analysis is needed to confirm the applicability of expression fingerprints as useful tools for monitoring exercise and training loads in order to avoid training associated health risks. Experiment Overall Design: Five healthy male probands executed an exhaustive treadmill test (80% VO2max) until individual exhaustion. One week later they repeated the test at 60% VO2max for the same time (moderate test). Blood samples (9ml) were drawn before and one hour past the tests. Erythrocytes were lysed and RNA was isolated from the white blood cells. RNA was processed and hybridised on U133A 2.0 Affyetrix GeneChips. Samples were grouped and gene expression changes were detected via multiple algorithms included in GeneSpring 7.2 (Agilent). Experiment Overall Design: Three groups were build from the twenty samples. All ten pre exercise samples were grouped together as the pre test" group. The other two groups contained five samples related to the "exhaustive test" or the "moderate test". TTest in cobination with multiple testing corrections, principal component analysis and hierarchical clstering were used to scan for gene expression profiles induced through the different exercise conditions.
