Project description:Exercise leads to a rapid change in the profile of gene expression in monocytes. We hypothesized that microRNA expression in circulating monocytes would also be affected by brief exercise. Twelve healthy men (22-30yr old) performed 10 2-min bouts of cycle ergometer exercise interspersed with 1-min rest at a constant work equivalent to about82% of VO2max. A baseline blood sample was taken before the and immediately after the exercise. Monocytes were isolated from PBMC using a negative magnetic cell separation methods (Miltenyi Biotec Monocyte Isolation Kit II, human #130-091-153 and the autoMACSM-BM-. Pro Separator). Total RNA was extracted using TRIzolM-BM-.. For this study we used Agilent Human miRNA microarrays V2 (total of 24 arrays).
Project description:Short RNA sequncing was performed to determine the effects of endurance exercise training on miRNA expression in human skeletal muscle.
