Project description:The molecular pathways which are activated and contribute to physiological remodeling of skeletal muscle in response to endurance exercise have not been fully characterized. We previously reported that ~800 gene transcripts are regulated following 6 weeks of supervised endurance training in young sedentary males, referred to as the training responsive transcriptome (TRT). Here we utilized this database together with data on biological variation in muscle adaptation to aerobic endurance training in both humans and a novel out-bred rodent model to study the potential regulatory molecules that coordinate this complex network of genes. We identified three DNA sequences representing RUNX1, SOX9, and PAX3 transcription factor binding sites as over-represented in the TRT. In turn, miRNA profiling indicated that several miRNAs targeting RUNX1, SOX9 and PAX3 were down-regulated by endurance training. The TRT was then examined by contrasting subjects who demonstrated the least vs. the greatest improvement in aerobic capacity (low vs. high responders), and at least 100 of the 800 TRT genes were differentially regulated, thus suggesting regulation of these genes may be important for improving aerobic capacity. In high responders, pro-angiogenic and tissue developmental networks emerged as key candidates for coordinating tissue aerobic adaptation. Beyond RNA level validation there were several DNA variants that associated with VO(2)max trainability in the HERITAGE Family Study but these did not pass conservative Bonferroni adjustment. In addition, in a rat model selected across 10 generations for high aerobic training responsiveness, we found that both the TRT and a homologous subset of the human high responder genes were regulated to a greater degree in high responder rodent skeletal muscle. This analysis provides a comprehensive map of the transcriptomic features important for aerobic exercise-induced improvements in maximal oxygen consumption. This data is from skeletal muscle post 6 weeks of endurance exercise training.

Project description:We examined global mRNA expression using cDNA microarrays in skeletal muscle of humans before, and 3h and 48h after a single bout of exhaustive endurance exercise (cycling). Keywords: Time course Healthy, non-trained university-aged subjects performed a single bout of exhaustive cycling. Skeletal muscle biopsies were taken from the vastus lateralis before, 3h and 48h after the exercise bout. Total RNA was extracted, amplified, reverse transcribed, and cDNA was analyzed on a custom made cDNA microarray. Four subjects were analyzed, and samples were not pooled between subjects (i.e. individual microarrays were used for baseline vs. 3H and baseline vs. 48h for EACH subject; repeated measures design).
Project description:The aim of this study was to elucidate the transcriptional signatures that distinguish the endurance-trained and the untrained muscle in healthy adult young males, both at baseline as well as in response to an acute bout of exercise.
Project description:The participants performed 8 weeks of superised aerobic endurance exercise. Skeletal muscle biopsise were taken at rest before and after intervention and matched analysis was performed.
Project description:Analysis of the changes in the transcriptome of circulating neutrophils and skeletal muscle from standardized resting conditions (baseline; pre-EXTRI) to 3, 48 and 96 hours after an experimental exercise trial (EXTRI; 1 hour of cycling followed by 1 hours of running) in 8 healthy, endurance-trained, male subjects. It was hypothesized that the time-course dependent transcriptomic changes would reflect the molecular and signalling mechanisms by which neutrophils regulate and counter-regulate inflammation, and by which skeletal muscle responds, regenerates, and phenotypically adapts to intense, prolonged exercise involving muscle damage. Results provide an important insight in the signalling pathways underlying the transcriptional activation and priming of circulatory neutrophils in response to physiological stress, in particular muscle-derived damage-associated molecular patterns. Furthermore, the study provides novel data on the skeletal muscle transcriptome beyond 48 hours after strenuous endurance exercise, and indicates important muscular remodelling processes at 96 hours post-EXTRI. Blood and muscle samples were taken under standardized conditions at baseline (pre-EXTRI), and 3, 48 and 96 hours post-EXTRI. Total mRNA was extracted from isolated neutrophils, and from skeletal muscle tissue.
Project description:Impact of protein ingestion following 1 h intense cycling on the induced transcriptome and signaling in biopsy samples from endurance-trained men, relative to isocaloric control Single blind, randomized, crossover design comprising two experimental blocks. During the blocks, exercise and diet were controlled and the intervention consisted of the ingestion of a protein-enriched and control beverage, with outcome measures obtained from skeletal muscle tissue collected following a bout of intense cycling. Total RNA were obtained from quadriceps. Each of the two serves were isocaloric and provided 0.2 g/kg fat (freeze dried canola oil) with either 1.2 g/kg carbohydrate (1:1 maltodextrin:fructose) and 0.4 g/kg protein (2:1 milk protein concentrate:whey isolate); or 1.6 g/kg carbohydrate (1:1 maltodextrin:fructose).
Project description:Age-related declines in cardiorespiratory fitness and physical function are mitigated by regular endurance exercise in older adults. This may be due, in part, to changes in the transcriptional program of skeletal muscle following repeated bouts of exercise. However, the impact of chronic exercise training on the transcriptional response to an acute bout of endurance exercise has not been clearly determined. Here, we characterized baseline differences in muscle transcriptome and exercise-induced response in older adults who were active/endurance trained or sedentary. RNA-sequencing was performed on vastus lateralis biopsy specimens obtained before, immediately after, and 3 h following a bout of endurance exercise (40 min of cycling at 60%–70% of heart rate reserve). Using a recently developed bioinformatics approach, we found that transcript signatures related to type I myofibers, mitochondria, and endothelial cells were higher in active/endurance-trained adults and were associated with key phenotypic features including V̇o2peak, ATPmax, and muscle fiber proportion. Immune cell signatures were elevated in the sedentary group and linked to visceral and intermuscular adipose tissue mass. Following acute exercise, we observed distinct temporal transcriptional signatures that were largely similar among groups. Enrichment analysis revealed catabolic processes were uniquely enriched in the sedentary group at the 3-h postexercise timepoint. In summary, this study revealed key transcriptional signatures that distinguished active and sedentary adults, which were associated with difference in oxidative capacity and depot-specific adiposity. The acute response signatures were consistent with beneficial effects of endurance exercise to improve muscle health in older adults irrespective of exercise history and adiposity.
