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:Changes and plasticity in both gene expression and protein signaling in skeletal muscle is considered to be a major cause of metabolic syndrome, while it has been shown that mild exercise training at lactate threshold (LT) intensity is a safe and effective for prevention of metabolic syndrome. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms related to the beneficial effects of LT training for 60 min/day for 5 days/wk for 12 wk, we performed serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) to examine global mRNA expression in human skeletal muscle. Approximately 57000 SAGE tags were analyzed for before training, as well as 5 days, 6 and 12 wk after the training. The LT training has coordinately induced many genes involved in mitochondrial energy metabolism, fat oxidation, glycolysis and creatine metabolism. Another molecular feature associated with this mild exercise regimen has been an induction of many genes encoding for potent antioxidant enzymes and molecular chaperons. Furthermore, the training modulated the expression levels of 233 novel transcripts. Thus, the current study reveals that LT exercise has favorably altered gene expression in human skeletal muscle to the prevention of metabolic syndrome.

Project description:In the present study 23 participants completed three months of supervised aerobic exercise training of one leg (training period 1) followed by 9 months of rest before 12 of the participants completed a second exercise training period (training period 2) of three months of both legs. Skeletal muscle biopsies have been collected before and after the training periods. We have compared trained leg with untrained leg and studied gene and isoform expression. Additional samples included in this study has been previously submitted (GEO accession number GSE58387 and GSE60590). Analyze of transcriptome in skeletal muscle biopsy samples in response to exercise training in 23 participants in total (in addition to data previously submitted GEO accession number GSE58387 and GSE60590). Biopsy is collected from skeletal muscle before and after training period.
Project description:Consequence of physical exercise in skeletal muscle was investigated in C57BL/6 mice after 4 weeks of exercise training and compared to sedentary controls. Exercised mice received four 4 weeks of regular exercise training on a motorized treadmill and were compared to sedentary controls. 6 mice of each Treatment were used to extract RNA from the quadriceps muscle three hours after the last training bout
