Effects of exercise on gene expression level in human monocytes

ABSTRACT: We tested the hypothesis on the mechanisms responsible for the early control of monocytes function by identifying a discrete set of genes in circulating monocytes that were altered by exercise. Exercise leads to a rapid change in the profile of gene expression in monocytes. Twelve healthy men (22-30 yr old) performed 10 2-min bouts of cycle ergometer exercise interspersed with 1-min rest at a constant work equivalent to about 82% 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 autoMACS® Pro Separator). Total RNA was extracted using TRIzol. For this study we used Affymetrix plus 2 (total o
