Project description:The few investigations on exercise-induced global gene expression responses in human skeletal muscle haves typically focused at one specific mode of exercise and few such studies have implemented control measures. However, interpretation on distinct phenotype regulation necessitate comparison between essentially different modes of exercise and the ability to identify true exercise effects, necessitate implementation of independent non-exercise control subjects. Furthermore, muscle transkriptometranscriptome data made available through previous exercise studies can be difficult to extract and interpret by individuals that are inexperienced with bioinformatic procedures. In a comparative study, we; (1) investigated the human skeletal muscle transcriptome response to differentiated exercise and non-exercise control intervention, and; (2) aimed to develop a straightforward search tool to allow for easy extraction and interpretation of our data. We provide a simple spreadsheet containing transcriptome data allowing other investigators to see how mRNA of their interest behave in skeletal muscle following exercise, both endurance, strength and non-exercise. Our approach, allow investigators easy access to information on genuine transcriptome effects of differentiated exercise, to better aid hyporthesis-driven question in this particular field of research.
Project description:Skeletal muscle is a complex heterogeneous tissue comprised of diverse muscle fiber and non-fiber cell types that, in addition to movement, influences other systems such as immunity, metabolism and cognition. We investigated gene expression patterns of resident human skeletal muscle cells using both single-cell RNA-seq and RNA-seq of single muscle fiber dissections from vastus lateralis. We generated transcriptome profiles of the major multinucleated human skeletal muscle fiber-types as well as 11 human skeletal muscle mononuclear cell types, including immune, endothelial, pericyte and satellite cells. We delineated two fibro-adipogenic progenitor cell subtypes that may contribute to heterotopic ossification and muscular dystrophy fibrosis under pathological conditions. An important application of cell type signatures is for computational deconvolution of cell type specific gene expression changes using data from bulk transcriptome experiments. Analysis of transcriptome data from a 12 week resistance exercise training study using these human skeletal muscle cell-type signatures revealed significant changes in specific mononuclear cell-type proportions related to age, sex, acute exercise and training. This characterization of human skeletal muscle cell types will resolve cell-type specific changes in large-scale physical activity muscle transcriptome studies and can further the understanding of the diverse effects of exercise and the pathophysiology of muscle disease.
Project description:Mechanistic insights into the molecular events by which exercise enhances the skeletal muscle phenotype are lacking, particularly in the context of type 2 diabetes. Here we unravel a fundamental role for exercise-responsive cytokines (exerkines) on skeletal muscle development and growth in individuals with normal glucose tolerance or type 2 diabetes. Acute exercise triggered an inflammatory response in skeletal muscle, concomitant with an infiltration of immune cells. These exercise effects were potentiated in type 2 diabetes. In response to contraction or hypoxia, cytokines were mainly produced by endothelial cells and macrophages. The chemokine CXCL12 was induced by hypoxia in endothelial cells, as well as by conditioned medium from contracted myotubes in macrophages. We found that CXCL12 was associated with skeletal muscle remodeling after exercise and differentiation of cultured muscle. Collectively, acute aerobic exercise mounts a non-canonical inflammatory response, with an atypical production of exerkines, which is potentiated in type 2 diabetes.

Biopsies for microarray were take before (Pre) and 2½ and 5 hours after the last training session. Isolated RNA from these biopsies were then measured with the Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST arrays.
Project description:Investigate the effects loss of skeletal muscle Bmal1 has on the acute transcriptional response to exercise in gastrocnemius muscle.
Project description:Acute aerobic exercise has been shown to improve skeletal muscle mitochondrial function and completeness of fatty acid β-oxidation which contribute to improved insulin sensitivity. The effectiveness of acute exercise on improving mitochondrial adaptations, leading to improved insulin sensitivity, in overweight/obese (Ov/Ob) individuals is controversial. This study aimed to determine the effects of acute exercise on epigenetic regulation of genes involved in skeletal muscle mitochondrial adaptations in lean vs Ov/Ob men.
