Gene and MicroRNA Expression Responses to Exercise; Relationship with Insulin Sensitivity

ABSTRACT: Healthy individuals on the lower end of the insulin sensitivity spectrum also have a reduced gene expression response to exercise for specific genes. The goal of this study was to determine the relationship between insulin sensitivity and exercise-induced gene expression in an unbiased, global manner.

Project description:Purpose. Insulin resistant muscle is resistant to gene expression changes induced by acute exercise. This study was undertaken to identify transcription factors that differentially respond to exercise in insulin resistance. Candidate transcription factors were identified from analysis of 5’-untranslated regions (5’-UTRs) of exercise responsive genes and from analysis of the 5’-UTRs of genes coding for proteins that differ in abundance in insulin resistance. Research design and methods. Muscle biopsies were obtained from lean and obese subjects before and after a single exercise bout. Euglycemic glucose clamps assessed insulin sensitivity. Global proteomics analysis identified differentially abundant proteins. The 5’-UTRs of genes coding for significant proteins were subjected to transcription factor enrichment analysis to identify candidate transcription factors. Q-rt-PCR to determine expression of candidate transcription factors was performed on RNA from resting and post-exercise muscle biopsies; immunoblots quantified protein abundance. Results. Obese subjects were insulin resistant compared to lean but performed exercise at the same intensity. Proteins involved in mitochondrial function, protein targeting and translation, and metabolism were among those significantly different between the groups. Transcription factor enrichment analysis of genes coding for these proteins revealed new candidate transcription factors. Q-rt-PCR analysis of RNA and immunoblot analysis from pre- and post-exercise muscle biopsies revealed several transcription and growth factors that had altered responses to exercise in insulin resistant subjects. Conclusions. These results confirm findings of an association between insulin sensitivity and transcription factor mRNA response to exercise and extend these results to show that obesity also may be a sufficient prerequisite for exercise resistance. Analysis of the muscle proteome together with determination of effects of exercise on expression of transcription factors suggests that abnormal responses of transcription factors to exercise may be responsible for differences in protein abundances in insulin resistant muscle.
