Project description:BACKGROUND: Understanding physiologic reactions to weightlessness is an indispensable requirement for safe human space missions. While adaptations of human organ systems in response to weightlessness have been described in former studies, their molecular background needs further elucidation. OBJECTIVE: The study aims to analyse changes in the expression of circulating miRNAs in serum in response to gravitational changes induced by parabolic flight as a spaceflight analogue. METHODS: Eight healthy volunteers (age: 25.4 years, male: 4, female: 4) were included. Each subject underwent 31 short-term phases of weightlessness and hypergravity induced by parabolic flight. At different time points (baseline, 1 hour after parabolic flight, and 24 hours parabolic flight), venous blood was withdrawn. Analysis of circulating miRNAs in serum was conducted by means of next generation sequencing. RESULTS: In total, 213 miRNAs were robustly detected by small RNA sequencing in all 24 samples. 4 miRNAs (mir-941, mir-24-3p, mir-486-5p, mir-223-3p) evidenced a significant change in expression after adjusting for multiple testing. mir-941 and mir-24-3p showed a significant decrease 24 hours after parabolic flight compared to 1 hour after parabolic flight. Contrary, mir-486-5p showed a significant increase 24 hours after parabolic flight compared to 1 hour after parabolic flight. Of note, mir-223-3p showed a significant decrease 24 hours after parabolic flight compared to baseline values and values at 1 hour after parabolic flight. A target network analysis identified genes of the p53 signaling pathway and the cell cycle highly enriched among the targets of the four microRNAs. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest cellular adaption to gravitational changes by means of weightlessness and hypergravity already at the transcriptional level. Based on our results, we suggest a change in cell cycle regulation as potential explanation for adaptational changes observed in space missions.

Project description:The increasing availability of flights on suborbital rockets creates new avenues for the study of spaceflight effects on biological systems, in particular the transitions between hypergravity and microgravity. This paper presents an initial comparison of the responses of Arabidopsis thaliana to suborbital and atmospheric parabolic flights as an important step toward characterizing these emerging suborbital platforms and their effects on biology. Transcriptomic profiling of the response of the Arabidopsis ecotype Wassilewskija (WS) to the aggregate spaceflight experiences in the Blue Origin New Shepard and Virgin Galactic SpaceShipTwo rockets revealed that the transcriptomic load induced by flight differed greatly between the two flights, yet was biologically related to traditional parabolic flight responses. The sku5 skewing mutant and 14-3-3κ:GFP regulatory protein overexpression lines each showed altered intra-platform responses compared to WS in the Blue Origin and parabolic flights, respectively. An additional parabolic flight using the F-104 Starfighter showed that the response of 14-3-3κ:GFP to flight was modulated in a similar manner to the WS line. Despite the differing genotypes, experimental workflows, flight profiles and platforms, alteration of gene expression remodeling central metabolic processes was commonly observed as a response to the flights. The processes included carbon and nitrogen metabolism, branched-chain amino acid degradation, and hypoxic responses. The timing and directionality of differentially-expressed genes involved in the conserved pathways differed among the platforms. The data presented herein highlight the potential for various suborbital platforms to contribute insights into biological responses to spaceflight, and further suggest that in-flight fixation during suborbital experiments will provide insights into responses to each phase of flight.
