Project description:We have previously demonstrated that the inhibitory effect of metformin on skeletal muscle complex-I linked mitochondrial respiration was associated with attenuated improvements in whole-body insulin sensitivity and cardiorespiratory fitness after aerobic exercise training (AET) in older adults. However, the mechanism(s) by which metformin impacts skeletal muscle adaptations to aerobic exercise remains unclear. To understand potential mechanisms associated with the inhibitory effect of metformin on mitochondrial adaptations to AET, we evaluated the skeletal muscle transcriptome, mitochondrial respiration, and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) emissions in 7-month-old male C57BL6/J mice after 8-weeks of non-exercise sedentary control (SED) or progressive AET with and without metformin treatment. Metformin attenuated the number of differentially expressed genes by AET (975 vs. 449). Pathway analysis suggests that metformin suppressed several signal transduction pathways involved in oxidative capacity and cellular metabolism, including VEGF, AMPK, HIF-1α, and PI3K-AKT. Notably, the addition of metformin to AET suppressed 16 downstream targets of HIF-1α and was accompanied by metformin ameliorating the increase in mitochondrial respiratory capacity and ADP sensitivity after AET. However, neither AET nor AET+MET impacted mitochondrial H2O2 emitting potential. Given the central role of HIF-1α as an upstream transcriptional regulator of mitochondrial function and biogenesis, these results suggest that suppression of HIF-1α pathway by metformin could serve as a transcriptional regulatory node associated with the inhibitory role of metformin on skeletal muscle mitochondrial adaptations to aerobic exercise training.

Project description:Metformin Alters Skeletal Muscle Transcriptome Adaptations to Resistance Training in Older Adults

Project description:Evidence from clinical trials and observational studies suggests that both progressive resistance training (PRT) and metformin delay a variety of age-related morbidities. Previously, we completed a clinical trial testing the effects of 14 weeks of PRT + metformin (metPRT) compared to PRT with placebo (plaPRT) on muscle hypertrophy in older adults. We found that metformin blunted PRT-induced muscle hypertrophic response. To understand potential mechanisms underlying the inhibitory effect of metformin on PRT, we analyzed the muscle transcriptome in 23 metPRT and 24 plaPRT participants. PRT significantly increased expression of genes involved in extracellular matrix remodeling pathways, and downregulated RNA processing pathways in both groups, however, metformin blunted the number of differentially expressed genes within these pathways compared to plaPRT. Pathway analysis showed that genes unique to metPRT modulated aging-relevant pathways, such as cellular senescence and autophagy. Differentially expressed genes from baseline biopsies in older adults compared to resting muscle from young volunteers were reduced following PRT in plaPRT and were further reduced in metPRT. We suggest that although metformin may blunt pathways induced by PRT to promote muscle hypertrophy, adjunctive metformin during PRT may have beneficial effects on aging-associated pathways in muscle from older adults.

Project description:Metformin and exercise independently improve insulin sensitivity and decrease the risk of diabetes. Metformin was also recently proposed as a potential therapy to slow aging. However, recent evidence indicates that adding metformin to exercise antagonizes the exercise-induced improvement in insulin sensitivity and cardiorespiratory fitness. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that metformin diminishes the improvement in insulin sensitivity and cardiorespiratory fitness after aerobic exercise training (AET) by inhibiting skeletal muscle mitochondrial respiration and protein synthesis in older adults (62 ± 1 years). In a double-blinded fashion, participants were randomized to placebo (n = 26) or metformin (n = 27) treatment during 12 weeks of AET. Independent of treatment, AET decreased fat mass, HbA1c, fasting plasma insulin, 24-hr ambulant mean glucose, and glycemic variability. However, metformin attenuated the increase in whole-body insulin sensitivity and VO2 max after AET. In the metformin group, there was no overall change in whole-body insulin sensitivity after AET due to positive and negative responders. Metformin also abrogated the exercise-mediated increase in skeletal muscle mitochondrial respiration. The change in whole-body insulin sensitivity was correlated to the change in mitochondrial respiration. Mitochondrial protein synthesis rates assessed during AET were not different between treatments. The influence of metformin on AET-induced improvements in physiological function was highly variable and associated with the effect of metformin on the mitochondria. These data suggest that prior to prescribing metformin to slow aging, additional studies are needed to understand the mechanisms that elicit positive and negative responses to metformin with and without exercise.

Project description:Inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT) is essential for the beneficial effects of exercise training on metabolic health. The underlying mechanisms for these effects are not fully understood and here, we test the hypothesis that exercise training results in a more favorable iWAT structural phenotype. Using biochemical, imaging, and multi-omics analyses we find that 11-days of wheel running in male mice causes profound iWAT remodeling including decreased extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition, increased vascularization and innervation. We identify adipose stem cells as one of the main contributors to training-induced ECM remodeling, show that the PRDM16 transcriptional complex is necessary for iWAT remodeling and beiging, and discover neuronal growth regulator 1 (NEGR1) as a link between PRDM16 and neuritogenesis. Moreover, we find that training causes a shift from hypertrophic to insulin-sensitive adipocyte subpopulations. Exercise training leads to remarkable adaptations to iWAT structure and cell-type composition that can confer beneficial changes in tissue metabolism.

Project description:Combining resistance and endurance exercises in a training regime (concurrent training) can impair improvements in muscle hypertrophy, strength, and power compared to resistance training alone. Here we aimed to characterize skeletal muscle transcriptomic changes following chronic concurrent training to determine whether contraction-induced gene expression may reveal molecular underpinnings explaining impaired adaptations. Eighteen young, healthy male participants underwent 12 weeks of resistance, endurance, or concurrent training. Maximal strength, aerobic capacity, and anaerobic power were assessed. Transcriptomics were performed on skeletal muscle biopsies obtained pre and post-intervention. Improvements to maximal anaerobic power are impaired with concurrent and endurance training. Gene expression related to plasma membrane structures was enriched while gene expression related to regulation of mRNA processing and protein degradation was suppressed with concurrent training. Considerable overlap of gene expression related to extracellular matrix remodeling was observed between concurrent and endurance training. Our results provide the first comprehensive comparison of unique and overlapping gene sets enriched following chronic resistance, endurance, and concurrent training, and reveals pathways that may have implications in relation to impaired adaptations when undertaking concurrent training.

Project description:Microarray analysis was performed with RNA isolated from vastus lateralis muscle biopsies of lean/overweight subjects following 18 days of aerobic exercise training. Samples from lean active individuals were also included. Exercise training led to robust changes in trained muscle. The lean active group profile was distinct from the pre-exercise samples. These results help define the molecular changes associated with aerobic training and contrast with an active phenotype.

Project description:Low aerobic exercise capacity is a risk factor for diabetes and strong predictor of mortality; yet some individuals are exercise resistant, and unable to improve exercise capacity through exercise training. To test the hypothesis that resistance to aerobic exercise training underlies metabolic disease-risk, we used selective breeding for 15 generation to develop rat models of low- and high-aerobic response to training. Before exercise training, rats selected as low- and high-responders had similar exercise capacities. However, after 8-wks of treadmill training low-responders failed to improve their exercise capacity, while high-responders improved by 54%. Remarkably, low-responders to aerobic training exhibited pronounced metabolic dysfunction characterized by insulin resistance and increased adiposity, demonstrating that the exercise resistant phenotype segregates with disease risk. Low-responders had impaired exercise-induced angiogenes0is in muscle; however, mitochondrial capacity was intact and increased normally with exercise training, demonstrating that mitochondria are not limiting for aerobic adaptation or responsible for metabolic dysfunction in low-responders. Low-responders had increased stress/inflammatory signaling and altered TGFβ signaling, characterized by hyperphosphorylation of a novel exercise-regulated phosphorylation site on SMAD2. Using this powerful biological model system we have discovered key pathways for low exercise training response that may represent novel targets for the treatment of metabolic disease.
