Project description:Astronauts are exposed to a unique combination of stressors during spaceflight, which leads to alterations in their physiology and potentially increases their susceptibility to infectious pathogens. Here we report the first microarray evaluation of any astronaut tissue sample, specifically whole blood, before and after spaceflight using an array comprising 234 well-characterized stress response genes. Differentially regulated genes included those important for DNA repair, oxidative stress, and protein folding/degradation. Microarrays comprising 234 well characterized stress-related genes were used to profile transcriptomic changes in six astronauts before and after short-duration spaceflight. Blood samples were collected for analysis from each eastronaut 10 days prior and 2-3 hours after return from spaceflight. Data submitted for platform GPL140 contain genes that have been pre-filtered by the analytical software to remove values of low certainty, resulting in missing values for some samples. Unfortunately, these original data are no longer available due to physical damage at Tulane University during hurricane Katrina, but the processed values were retained in redundant locations and these are submitted for upload to GEO.

Project description:Identification of gravisensitive miRNAs expression in rat soleus muscle exposed to 7 and 14 days of Hindlimb suspension (HS) simulated microgravity. Microgravity causes muscle atrophy possibly due to muscle wasting overtake regeneration. Results provide insight into the molecular mechanisms regulating muscle atrophy. The expression of 23 out of 174 miRNAs was found to change at least 2-fold of 7 and/or 14 days of TS. By using real-time PCR assays, we verified the microarray data using some of the expected genes.

Microgravity causes muscle atrophy possibly due to muscle wasting overtake regeneration. Results provide insight into the molecular mechanisms regulating muscle atrophy. The expression of 787 (373 upregulated and 414 downregulated) and 923 (491 upregulated and 432 downregulated) genes out of 28000 was altered respectively at least 2-fold of 7 and 14 days TS, which represented 397 (233 upregulated and 164 downregulated) genes of common alteration. By using real-time PCR assays, we verified the microarray data using some of the expected genes.

Project description:While it has been shown that astronauts suffer immune disorders after spaceflight, the underlying causes are still poorly understood and there are many variables to consider when investigating the immune system in a complex environment. Additionally, there is growing evidence that suggests that not only is the immune system being altered, but the pathogens that infect the host are significantly influenced by spaceflight and ground-based spaceflight conditions. In this study, we demonstrate that Serratia marcescens (strain Db11) was significantly more lethal to Drosophila melanogaster after growth on the International Space Station than ground-based controls, but that the host immune system is not significantly altered amongst known immune genes. High-throughput sequencing of wild-type (w1118) adult hosts infected with either space or ground-reared S. marcescens revealed few changes in gene expression, with 11 genes significantly differentially expressed (q-values <0.05) and only one gene related to the immune system. This data supports the main findings of the paper, which state that both spaceflight and low-shear modeled microgravity conditions increase the virulence of this pathogen, independent of the host immune system. This data, which shows that there are no significant immune-related changes to the host when infected with space-grown sample compared to ground-grown sample, provides further evidence that there are likely phenotypic changes to the pathogen itself that is causing increased virulence in spaceflight and in low-shear modeled microgravity.

Project description:Spaceflight results in a number of adaptations to skeletal muscle, including atrophy and shifts towards faster muscle fiber types. To identify changes in gene expression that may underlie these adaptations, microarray expression analysis was performed on gastrocnemius from mice flown on the STS-108 shuttle flight (11 days, 19 hours) versus mice maintained on earth for the same period. Additionally, to identify changes that were due to unloading and reloading, microarray analyses were conducted on calf muscle from ground-based mice subjected to hindlimb suspension (12 days) and mice subjected to hindlimb suspension plus a brief period of reloading (3.5 hours) to simulate the time between landing and sacrifice of the spaceflight mice.

Project description:Spaceflight causes loss of muscle mass and strength, metabolic remodeling and insulin resistance, contributing to severe challenges for astronaut health. We used highly sensitive proteomics to detail single fiber type-specific molecular remodeling caused by muscle unloading in subjects undergoing prolonged bed rest. We then measured the muscle proteome of astronauts before and after a mission on the ISS. Our combined datasets show downregulation of complexes involved in fiber-matrix interaction, force transmission and insulin receptor stabilization on the sarcolemma. Unloading upregulated anti-oxidant responses in slow but not in fast fibers, markers of neuromuscular damage and the hypusination pathway that uniquely modifies translation initiation factor 5A. These muscle intrinsic changes in adhesion, protein turnover and redox balance may contribute to the whole-body detrimental effects caused by prolonged unloading. We conclude that single muscle fiber analysis by proteomics can support the development of advanced countermeasures targeting the mechano-metabolic molecular axis.

Project description:Among the physiological consequences of extended space flight are loss of skeletal muscle and bone mass. One signaling pathway that plays an important role in maintaining muscle and bone homeostasis is that regulated by the secreted signaling proteins, myostatin and activin A. Here, we used both pharmacological and genetic approaches to investigate the effect of targeting myostatin/activin A signaling in mice that were sent to the International Space Station. We show that inhibition of myostatin/activin A signaling has a significant protective effect against microgravity-induced muscle and bone loss. These findings have implications for therapeutic strategies to combat the concomitant muscle and bone loss occurring in people afflicted with disuse atrophy on Earth as well as in astronauts in space, especially during prolonged missions.
