Plasma proteomics data of hibernating and active wild Scandinavian brown bears

ABSTRACT: Here we provide mass-spectrometry based plasma proteomics data of hibernating and active wild Scandinavian brown bears (Ursus arctos arctos). The brown bear hibernates for half the year. Despite obesity and the prolonged period of inactivity, bears show no signs of the harmful effects associated with these conditions in humans. Thus, the hibernating bear is a protentional translational model for addressing these complications in humans. We analyzed plasma samples from 14 subadult 2- to 3-year-old (y/o) bears (6 males and 8 females) collected both during hibernation and active state, and for some for the bears during two seasons, resulting in a total of 38 analyzed plasma samples. In triplicates, the proteins in the plasma samples were unfolded and reduced. To increase depth of the analysis and the chance to detect low molecular weight proteins and peptides, we filtered samples with a 50K MWCO filter with the aim to deplete larger proteins. The proteins in the permeate were then tryptically digested, desalted, and analyzed with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Protein identification and quantification was performed with the MaxQuant software searching against an Ursus arctos horribilis protein database.

Brown bear skeletal muscle 2D-DIGE-LC-MSMS

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.

Biochemical Foundations of Health and Energy Conservation in Hibernating Free-Ranging Subadult Brown Bear Ursus arctos

Project description:Brown bears (Ursus arctos) hibernate for 5-7 months without eating, drinking, urinating and defecating at a metabolic rate of only 25% of the summer activity rate. Nonetheless, they emerge healthy and alert in spring. We analyzed the physiological adaptations for hibernation by comparing the proteome, metabolome, and hematologic features of blood from hibernating and active free-ranging sub-adult brown bears with a focus on conservation of health and energy. We found that the concentrations of most plasma proteins and white blood cell types decreased during hibernation. Strikingly, antimicrobial defense proteins increased in concentration. Central functions in hibernation involving the coagulation response and protease inhibition, as well as lipid transport and metabolism, were upheld by increased levels of very few key or broad-specificity proteins. A dramatic 45-fold increase in sex-hormone-binding-globulin SHBG levels during hibernation draws, for the first time, attention to its significant but unknown role in maintaining hibernation physiology. We propose that energy for the costly protein synthesis is reduced by three mechanisms, (i) dehydration, which increases protein concentration without de novo synthesis; (ii) reduced protein degradation rates due to a 6°C reduction in body temperature, decreased protease activity, and increased plasma viscosity; and (iii) a marked redistribution of energy resources only increasing de novo synthesis of few key proteins. This comprehensive global data identified novel biochemical strategies for bear adaptations to the extreme condition of hibernation, and have implications for our understanding of physiology in general.

Modulation of gene expression in heart and liver of hibernating black bears (Ursus americanus)

Project description:We analyzed gene expression in the American black bear, Ursus americanus, using a custom 12,800 cDNA probe (BA02) microarray to detect differences in expression that occur in heart and liver during winter hibernation in comparison to summer active animals. We identified 245 genes in heart and 319 genes in liver that were differentially expressed between winter and summer. The expression of 24 genes was significantly elevated during hibernation in both heart and liver. These genes are mostly involved in lipid catabolism and protein biosynthesis and include RNA binding protein motif 3 (Rbm3), which enhances protein synthesis at mildly hypothermic temperatures. Elevated expression of protein biosynthesis genes suggests induction of translation that may be related to adaptive mechanisms reducing cardiac and muscle atrophies over extended periods of low metabolism and immobility during hibernation in bears. Coordinated reduction of transcription of genes involved in amino acid catabolism suggests redirection of amino acids from catabolic pathways to protein biosynthesis. We identify common for black bears and small mammalian hibernators transcriptional changes in the liver that include induction of genes responsible for fatty acid β oxidation and carbohydrate synthesis and depression of genes involved in lipid biosynthesis, carbohydrate catabolism, cellular respiration and detoxification pathways. Our findings show that modulation of gene expression during winter hibernation represents molecular mechanism of adaptation to extreme environments. Black bears sampled during winter hibernation were compared with the animals sampled during summer. Two tissue types, liver and heart, were hybridized on a custom 12,800 cDNA probe nylon membrane microarray platform . Six hibernating and five summer active bears were studied in experiments with liver tissue, six hibernating and five summer active animals were tested with heart tissue.

MiRNA regulation of auto-anticoagulation in hibernating black bears: A Novel Translational Approach

Project description:Hibernating American black bears have significantly different clotting parameters than their active summer counterparts, affording them innate protection against venous thromboembolism (VTE) despite prolonged periods of immobility. Physiologic changes that occur during hibernation are thought to result from differential gene expression, rather than novel genes, and there is increasing evidence miRNAs may play an important role this regulation. We propose that significant differences exist in miRNA expression in the plasma of hibernating black bears compared to their active counter parts (summer), which lead to critical gene regulation responsible for auto-anticoagulation during hibernation. Methods: Blood was collected from 21 American black bears in the Northern Michigan Peninsula in summer 2017 and winter 2018 (11 active, 10 hibernating). Plasma was extracted Results: Fifteen miRNAs were differentially expressed in the plasma of hibernating black bears. Nine miRNAs were significantly downregulated (miR10b-3p, miR-136-3p, miR-181c-5p , miR-200a-3p, miR-200b-5p, miR-200c-3p, miR-320b, miR-320c and miR-320d) and six miRNAs were significantly upregulated (miR-15a-5p, miR-15b-3p, miR-15b-5p, miR-16-5p, miR-92a-3p, miR-150-5p) during hibernation. Twelve miRNAs had no identifiable targets, but miR-200a-3p, miR-200b-5p and miR-200c-3p found to be targets of SERPINC1, the gene responsible for the production of antithrombin (AT). Conclusions: Several miRNAs were differentially expressed in hibernating bears (12). Most importantly miR-200a-3p, miR-200b-5p and miR-200c-3p were all downregulated in hibernation and associated with increased expression of SERPINC1 and production of AT. AT is a powerful anticoagulant and this finding may explain the hibernating black bears ability to achieve auto-anticoagulation and protection from VTE.

Gene Expression Data of Hibernating and Summer Active Black Bears

Project description:We conducted a large-scale gene expression screen using the 3,200 cDNA probe microarray developed specifically for Ursus americanus to detect expression differences in liver and skeletal muscle that occur during winter hibernation in comparison to animals sampled during summer. The expression of 12 genes, including RNA binding protein motif 3 (Rbm3), that are mostly involved in protein biosynthesis, was induced during hibernation in both liver and muscle. The Gene Ontology and Gene Set Enrichment analysis consistently showed a highly significant enrichment of the protein biosynthesis category by over-expressed genes in both liver and skeletal muscle during hibernation. Coordinated induction in transcriptional level of genes involved in protein biosynthesis is a distinctive feature of the transcriptome in hibernating black bears. This finding implies induction of translation and suggests an adaptive mechanism that contributes to a unique ability to reduce muscle atrophy over prolonged periods of immobility during hibernation. Comparing expression profiles in bears to small mammalian hibernators shows a general trend during hibernation of transcriptional changes that include induction of genes involved in lipid metabolism and carbohydrate synthesis as well as depression of genes involved in the urea cycle and detoxification function in liver. Black bears sampled during winter hibernation were compared with the animals sampled during summer. Two tissue types, liver and muscle, were hybridized on a custom 3,200-gene nylon membrane microarray platform with three replicates for each gene (9.600 spots in total). Six hibernating and five summer active bears were studied in experiments with liver tissue, five hibernating and five summer active animals were tested with muscle tissue.

Proteomic and Transcriptomic Changes in Hibernating Grizzly Bears Reveal Metabolic and Signaling Pathways that Protect against Muscle Atrophy

Project description:Muscle atrophy is a physiological response to disuse and malnutrition, but hibernating bears are largely resistant to this phenomenon. Unlike other mammals, they efficiently reabsorb amino acids from urine, periodically activate muscle contraction, and their adipocytes differentially responds to insulin. The contribution of myocytes to the reduced atrophy remains largely unknown. Here we show how metabolism and atrophy signaling are regulated in skeletal muscle of hibernating grizzly bear.
