Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of post-exercise milk product intake during interval walking training. The Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 450,000 CpGs in peripheral blood samples. Samples include 24 subjects (12, placebo intake; 12, milk product intake).
Project description:The purpose of this study was to use global gene expression to identify skeletal muscle genes that correlate with exercise-induced Si changes. Longitudinal cohorts from the Studies of Targeted Risk Reduction Intervention through Defined Exercise (STRRIDE) were utilized for vastus lateralis gene expression profiles. Si was determined via intravenous glucose tolerance test pre- and post-training. Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients determined relationships between a) baseline and b) training-induced changes in gene expression and Si after training.

Project description:Exercise is an effective strategy in the prevention and treatment of metabolic diseases. Alterations in the skeletal muscle proteome, including post-translational modifications, regulate its metabolic adaptations to exercise. Here, we examined the effect of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on the proteome and acetylome of human skeletal muscle, revealing the response of 3168 proteins and 1263 lysine acetyl-sites on 464 acetylated proteins. We identified novel protein adaptations to exercise training involved in metabolism and excitation-contraction coupling. Furthermore, HIIT increased the acetylation of mitochondrial proteins, particularly those of complex V, likely via non-enzymatic mechanisms. We also highlight the regulation of novel exercise-responsive histone acetyl-sites. These data demonstrate the plasticity of the skeletal muscle proteome and acetylome, providing insight into the regulation of contractile, metabolic and transcriptional processes within skeletal muscle. Herein, we provide a substantial hypothesis-generating resource to stimulate further mechanistic research investigating how exercise improves metabolic health.
Project description:In this study, the primary objective was to characterise the impact of regular post-exercise (20 strength training sessions across 10 weeks) cold-water immersion (CWI) on DNA methhylation. Secondary to this, the effect of regular post-exercise CWI on strength gains and post-exercise soreness was investigated. We used microarrays to detail the global effects of CWI on DNA methylation in vastus lateralis muscle tissue.
Project description:Study the training exercise effects in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients and aged-matched healthy individuals. Skeletal muscle biopsies from 9 stable COPD patients with normal fat free mass index (FFMI, 21Kg/m2) (COPDN), 6 COPD patients with low FFMI (16Kg/m2) (COPL), and 12 healthy sedentary subjects (FFMI 21Kg/m2) before and after 8 weeks of a supervised endurance exercise program were analyzed. Samples were collected from open biopsies from the musculus vastus lateralis of COPD patients and healthy individuals before and after 8 weeks of exercise training. Constant-work rate exercise at 70% of pre-training Watts peak (Wpeak) (CardiO2 cycle Medical Graphics Corporation, USA) was carried out before and after 8 weeks of supervised interval training with a cycloergometer until pre-training endurance time exhaustion. Measurements before and after training were obtained at isowork-rate and iso-time.
Project description:Elderly AA volunteers confirmed MCI assigned into a six-month program of aerobic exercise (eleven participants) underwent a 40-minute supervised-training 3-times/week and controls (eight participants) performed stretch training. Participants had maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) test and Genome-wide methylation levels at CpG sites using the Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip assay at baseline and after a six-month exercise program.
Project description:We sought to determine skeletal muscle genome-wide DNA methylation and transcriptome changes to one bout of lower-load (LL) versus higher-load (HL) resistance exercise. Previously trained college-aged males (n=11, age: 23±4 years old, training experience: 4 ± 3 years) performed LL or HL bouts to failure separated by one week. The HL bout (a.k.a., 80 Fail) consisted of four sets of back squats and four sets of leg extensions to failure using 80% of their estimated one-repetition maximum (i.e., est. 1-RM from 3-RM testing), whereas the LL bout (a.k.a., 30 Fail) consisted of this same paradigm using 30% of their est. 1-RM. Vastus lateralis muscle biopsies were collected before, 3 hours, and 6 hours after each exercise bout. DNA and RNA were batch-isolated from muscle and analyzed for genome-wide DNA methylation and mRNA expression using the 850k Illumina MethylationEPIC array and Clariom S mRNA microarray, respectively. Although the total number of repetitions performed were significantly greater during the 30 Fail versus 80 Fail bout (p<0.001), total training volume (sets x reps x load) was not significantly different between conditions (p=0.571). Interestingly, 30 Fail led to decreased methylation across various promoter regions, albeit the transcriptome-wide responses between bouts were largely similar. According to bioinformatics, both bouts altered post-exercise mRNA profiles related to inflammatory signaling (e.g., Toll receptor, CCKR, chemokine and cytokine signaling), apoptosis, gonadotropin-releasing hormone, and integrin signaling. Also notable, more robust DNA methylation events occurred 3 hours versus 6 hours post-exercise regardless of bout (239,951 versus 12,419 CpG sites significantly hyper- or hypomethylated at these respective time points, p<0.01). Moreover, the percentage of significantly altered mRNAs that also demonstrated significantly inversed methylation patterns across one or more CpG sites was appreciably higher at 3 hours versus 6 hours following exercise (~75% versus ~15%, respectively). In conclusion, our transcriptomic data suggest that the molecular signaling events during the early post-exercise period are largely similar between LL and HL bouts, and this may explain why similar longer-term phenotypes (e.g., myofiber hypertrophy) result from these two training modalities. Additionally, our methylome data indicate that the majority of DNA methylation changes following an acute bout of resistance exercise occur rapidly (~3 hours) following exercise in previously trained men.
Project description:Twenty healthy subjects (25±5yrs) completed two high-intensity interval training interventions (training and retraining) lasting 8 weeks separated by 12 weeks of detraining. Measurements at baseline and after training, detraining and retraining included maximal oxygen consumption (V̇O2max), along with vastus lateralis biopsy for genome wide DNA methylation using Illumina Epic arrays in 5 of the participants for all conditions (baseline, training, detraining and retraining).
Project description:The molecular transducers of benefits from different exercise modalities remain incompletely defined. Here we report that 12 weeks of high-intensity aerobic interval (HIIT), resistance (RT), and combined exercise training enhanced insulin sensitivity and lean mass, but only HIIT and combined training improved aerobic capacity and skeletal muscle mitochondrial respiration. HIIT revealed a more robust increase in gene transcripts than other exercise modalities, particularly in older adults, although little overlap with corresponding individual protein abundance was noted. HIIT reversed many age-related differences in the proteome, particularly of mitochondrial proteins in concert with increased mitochondrial protein synthesis. Both RT and HIIT enhanced proteins involved in translational machinery irrespective of age. Only small changes of methylation of DNA promoter regions were observed. We provide evidence for predominant exercise regulation at the translational level, enhancing translational capacity and proteome abundance to explain phenotypic gains in muscle mitochondrial function and hypertrophy in all ages.
