Project description:Male and female 2- and 3-years old brown bear from the region of Tackasen (Sweden) were captured in summer and winter. Muscle biopsies from vastus lateralis were collected in february (hibernation state) and june (active period). Total RNA were extracted from muscle tissue and full transcriptome analysis (RNA Seq) were performed. Statistical analysis were performed to winter versus summer comparison from matched paired samples

Project description:Hibernation is a complex physiological state often exploited by animals under adverse environmental conditions. It involves large changes in metabolism and cellular function, with many stress responses modulated to tolerate physiological challenges that would otherwise be lethal. This study explores transcriptomic and proteomic profiling of hibernation in a reptile (the central bearded dragon; Pogona vitticeps) throughout the hibernation season. To better understand molecular dynamics of this remarkable process, total RNA and protein was analyzed in brain, heart and skeletal muscle at three time points; late hibernation, two days post-arousal, and two months post-arousal.

Project description:Mammalian hibernators display phenotypes similar to physiological conditions in non-hibernating species under conditions of calorie restriction and fasting, hypoxia, hypothermia, ischemia-reperfusion, and sleep. However, whether or how similarities are also reflected on molecular and genetic levels is unclear. We identified molecular signatures of torpor and arousal in hibernation using a new custom-designed cDNA microarray for the arctic ground squirrel (Urocitellus parryii,) and compared them to molecular signatures of selected phenotypes in mouse. Our results show that differential gene expression related to metabolism during torpor is closely related to that during calorie restriction and hypoxia. PPARM-NM-1 is crucial for metabolic remodeling in hibernation. Genes related to the sleep-wake cycle and temperature response genes induced by hypothermia follow the same expression changes as in torpor-arousal cycle. Increased fatty acid metabolism might contribute to the protection against ischemia-reperfusion injury during hibernation. Further, by comparing with thousands of pharmacological signatures, we identified drugs that may induce similar expression patterns in human cell lines as during hibernation. Arctic ground squirrels sampled during winter hibernation were compared with the animals sampled during summer. Liver was hybridized on a custom 9,600 probes nylon membrane microarray platform. Four squirrels in early torpor, five in late torpor, four in early arousal, four in late arousal, and seven in summer active were studied in experiments.

Project description:Muscle atrophy is one of the main deleterious consequences of ageing and physical inactivity. Although basic knowledge regarding the underlying mechanisms of muscle atrophy is continuously growing, there are still no efficient therapeutic strategies for its prevention and treatment. Hibernating bears exhibit a strong and unique ability to preserve muscle mass in conditions where muscle atrophy is observed in humans. However, underlying mechanisms have not been understood yet. To fill this gap, the aim of this study was to characterize changes in the bear muscle proteome during hibernation versus the active period. Muscle biopsies were obtained from Ursus arctos bears.

Project description:still unknown bear circulating factors have been reported to induce a 40% decrease of the net proteolytic rate in isolated rat muscles, accompanied by downregulation of expression levels of both lysosomal and ubiquitin-dependent proteolytic factors. Here we investigated the phenotype of cultivated human myocytes treated with hibernating bear serum, by disentangling impacts at the trophic, protein balance, and transcriptome and proteome levels. This study represents the first step towards characterization of the winter bear serum potential as a source of new therapeutic molecules to fight against human muscle atrophy.

Project description:Mammalian hibernation is a strategy employed by many species to survive fluctuations in resource availability and environmental conditions. Hibernating mammals endure conditions of dramatically depressed heart rate, body temperature, and oxygen consumption; yet show no typical pathological response. Because of the high abundance and metabolic cost of skeletal muscle, not only must it adjust to the constraints of hibernation, but is positioned to play a more active role in the initiation and maintenance of the hibernation phenotype. In this study, MS/MS proteomic data were searched against a custom database of transcriptomic and genomic protein predictions built using the platform GalaxyP. This proteogenomic approach allows for a thorough investigation of skeletal muscle protein expression throughout the circannual cycle of the 13-lined ground squirrel. Of the 1,563 proteins identified by these methods, 232 were differentially expressed. Not only do these data support previously reported physiological transitions, they also offer insight into specific mechanisms of how their muscles might be reducing nitrogenous waste, preserving mass and function, and signaling to other tissues. Additionally, the combination of proteomic and transcriptomic data provides unique opportunities for determining the level of post-transcriptional regulation throughout the year and improving the genomic annotation of this non-model organism.

Project description:Differential gene expression in a wide range of tissues including brown adipose tissue (BAT), liver, heart, hypothalamus, and skeletal muscle in hibernating arctic ground squirrels during multiple stages in torpor-arousal cycles compared to non-hibernating (post-reproductive) animals with illumina beadarray technology. Arctic Ground Squirrels were sampled at four stages of hibernation: early arousal denoted as EA (1-2 hrs after Tb cross 30¡C, n=4), late arousal denoted as LA (7-8 hrs after Tb cross 30¡C, n=4), early torpor denoted as ET (10-20% of torpid episode, n=4) and late torpor denoted as LT (80-90% of torpid episode, n=5), where Tb is the body temperature and the length of torpid episode is estimated from the previous torpor bout. Post-reproductive animals denoted as PR (n=7) were used as non-hibernating control. Five tissue types: brown adipose tissue (BAT), liver, heart, hypothalamus, and skeletal muscle were hybridized on two customized 700-gene beadarray platforms: 1A and 2A on 96-sample Illumina ArrayMatrix. The data of a pilot study involving brown adipose tissue (BAT), liver, and skeletal muscle on 16-sample Illumina BeadChip denoted as 16chip are also included in this series.

Project description:Thirteen-lined ground squirrels (TLGS) are obligate hibernators that cycle between torpor (low metabolic rate and body temperature) and interbout euthermia (IBE; typical euthermic body temperature and metabolism) from late autumn to spring. Many physiological changes occur throughout hibernation, including a reduction in liver mitochondrial metabolism during torpor, which is reversed during arousal to interbout euthermia. Nuclear-encoded microRNA (small post-transcriptional regulator molecules) differ in abundance throughout TLGS hibernation and have been shown to regulate mitochondrial gene expression in mammalian cell culture (where they are referred to as mitomiRs). This study characterized differences in mitomiR profiles from TLGS liver mitochondria isolated during summer, torpor, and IBE, and predicted their mitochondrial targets. Using small RNA sequencing, differentially abundant mitomiRs were identified between hibernation states and, using qPCR analysis we quantified expression of predicted mitochondrial mRNA targets. Most differences in mitomiR abundances were seasonal (i.e. between summer and winter) with only one mitomiR differentially abundant between IBE and torpor. Multiple factor analysis revealed unique clustering of hibernation states, predominantly driven by mitomiR abundances, and nine of these differentially abundant mitomiRs had predicted mitochondrial RNA targets, including subunits of electron transfer system complexes I and IV, 12S rRNA and two tRNAs. Overall, mitomiRs were predicted to suppress expression of their mitochondrial targets and may have some involvement in regulating protein translation in mitochondria. This study found differences in mitomiR abundances between seasons and hibernation states of TLGS and suggests potential mechanisms in regulating the mitochondrial electron transfer system.
