Comparative Transcriptomics of Broad-Spectrum and Synthetic Cannabidiol Treated Skeletal Myotubes

ABSTRACT: Cannabidiol (CBD), a cannabinoid from the cannabis plant, is widely used in sports for recovery, pain management, and sleep improvement, yet its effects on muscle are not well understood. This study aimed to determine the transcriptional response of murine skeletal muscle myotubes to broad-spectrum CBD and synthetic CBD (sCBD), hypothesizing significant changes in metabolism, myogenesis, and inflammation, with unique gene expression profiles for broad-spectrum CBD due to its additional compounds. Differentiated C2C12 myotubes were treated with 10 µM CBD, sCBD, or vehicle control (DMSO) for 24 hours before RNA extraction. Poly-A tail enriched mRNA libraries were constructed and sequenced using 2x50 bp paired-end sequencing. CBD and sCBD treatment induced 4489 and 1979 differentially expressed genes (DEGs; p <0.001, FDR step-up <0.05), respectively, with common upregulation of 857 genes and common downregulation of 648 genes. Common upregulated DEGs were associated with “response to unfolded protein”, “cell redox homeostasis”, “endoplasmic reticulum stress”, “oxidative stress” and “cellular response to hypoxia”. Common downregulated DEGs were linked to “sarcomere organization”, “skeletal muscle tissue development”, “regulation of muscle contraction”, “skeletal muscle contraction” and “muscle contraction”. CBD treatment induced 1342 unique upregulated DEGs and 1137 unique downregulated DEGs, compared to 154 and 152 unique up- and downregulated DEGs in sCBD. The transcriptional data indicate that CBD may induce mild cellular stress, activating pathways associated with altered redox balance, unfolded protein response, and endoplasmic reticulum stress. We hypothesize that CBD interacts with muscle and may elicit a ‘mitohormetic’ effect that warrants further investigation.

Project description:Regular physical exercise evokes profound physiological responses which are strongly associated with many health benefits. However, the details of cellular networks and mechanisms underlying the adaptive responses to exercise remain to be elucidated. We have previously shown the usefulness of electrical pulse stimulation (EPS) to investigate metabolic effects of exercise in cultured human myotubes. The aim of the present study was to uncover networks of signaling pathways and regulatory molecules responsible for the metabolic effects of exercise in human skeletal muscle cells exposed to chronic EPS. Differentiated myotubes were subjected to two different EPS protocols (protocol 1; 2 ms, 10 V, 0.1 Hz for 24 h or protocol 2; 2 ms, 30 V, and 1 Hz for 48 h). Fuel handling was assessed using radiolabeled substrates. The transcriptome, cell proteome, and secreted proteins from EPS-treated and untreated myotubes were analyzed using a combination of high-throughput RNA sequencing, microarray, and high-resolution liquid chromatography mass spectrometry. Independent validation of selected putative myokines were measured using ELISA or multiplex assay. Oxidative metabolism was enhanced in human myotubes exposed to EPS protocol 1. A total of 81 differentially regulated proteins and 952 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were observed in the cells after EPS protocol 1. Gene ontology (GO) analysis indicated that significantly regulated proteins and genes were enriched in biological processes related to glycolytic pathways, positive regulation of fatty acid oxidation, and oxidative phosphorylation, as well as muscle contraction, autophagy/mitophagy, and oxidative stress. Moreover, proteomic identification of secreted proteins revealed extracellular levels of 137 proteins were changed in myotubes subjected to EPS protocol 1. We also found some degree of overlap between the DEGs found in myotubes submitted to EPS protocol 1 and protocol 2. Among these DEGs was a myokine, leukemia inhibitory factor, which showed to enhance the glucose uptake in skeletal muscle cells, indicating autocrine mechanism to maintain metabolic homeostasis. Collectively, our data provides new insight into the transcriptome, proteome and secreted proteins alterations following in vitro exercise and is a valuable resource for understanding the molecular mechanisms and regulatory molecules mediating the beneficial metabolic effects of exercise.

Project description:Training at sustainable swimming speeds can produce changes in fish skeletal muscle that are important for aquaculture due to their growth-potentiating effects. Such changes may be even more relevant when fish are fed diets containing an increasing proportion of carbohydrates as an energy source. We evaluated the effects of moderate-intensity sustained swimming on the transcriptomic response of red and white muscle in rainbow trout fed a carbohydrate-rich diet using microarray and qPCR. Analysis of the red and white muscle transcriptome revealed significant changes in the expression of a large number of genes (395 and 597, respectively), with a total of 218 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) common for both muscles. A large number of the genes involved in glucose use and energy generation, contraction, development, synthesis and catabolism of proteins were up-regulated in red and white muscle. Additionally, DEGs in both muscles were involved in processes of defense response and apoptosis. Skeletal muscle contraction activates a transcriptional program required for the successful adaptation of both muscles to the changing demands imposed by swimming conditions. Future studies should further clarify the mechanisms involved in the adaptation of both tissues to exercise and assess possible benefits of such conditions for cultured fish. Total RNA from pooled red and white skeletal muscle samples of individual rainbow trout from each group (resting fish, n=8; swimming fish, n=8) was labeled with Cy3-dUTP and Cy5-dUTP (GE Healthcare, Barcelona, Spain). We used a dye swap experimental design and each cDNA from a pooled RNA sample was hybridized to two microarrays. For the first slide, cDNAs from resting and swimming fish were labeled with Cy5 and Cy3, respectively, and for the second array dye assignment was reversed. Therefore, samples from individual fish within each group were pooled and expression values shown represent the means of 6 M-CM-^W 2 = 12 technical replicates. A total of four slides were used in this study
