Transcriptome Alterations Associated with Age-Related Decline in Physical Function

ABSTRACT: One inevitable consequence of the effect of age on our bodies is the graduated deterioration of physical function and exercise capacity, driven, in part by the adverse effect of age on muscle tissue. Our primary purpose was to determine the relationship between patterns of gene expression in skeletal muscle and loss of physical function. We hypothesized that some genes that change expression with age would correlate with functional decline, or conversely with preservation of function. Male C57Bl/6 mice were randomly selected from large cohorts [RNA isolated from: adults (6-7 months old, n=9), older (24-25 months old, n=9), and elderly (28+ months of age, n=9)} that were tested for physical ability using a comprehensive functional assessment battery [CFAB, a composite scoring system: comprised of the rotarod (overall motor function), grip strength (fore-limb strength), inverted cling (4-limb strength/endurance), voluntary wheel running (activity rate/volitional exercise), and treadmill tests (endurance)]. We extracted RNA from the tibialis anterior muscles, ran RNAseq to examine the transcriptome using an Illumina NextSeq 550, comparing adults (n=7) to older (n=7) and elderly mice (n=9). Age resulted in gene expression differences of 1.5 log2 fold change or greater (p<0.01) in 46 genes in the older mice and in 252 genes in the elderly (both compared to adults). Current ongoing work is examining the physiological relevance of these genes to age-related loss of physical function. We are in the process of using linear regression to determine which of the genes with age-related changes in expression are associated (R>0.5 and p<0.05) with functional status as measured by CFAB.

Skeletal muscle transcriptome response to a bout of endurance exercise in physically active and sedentary older adults

Project description:Age-related declines in cardiorespiratory fitness and physical function are mitigated by regular endurance exercise in older adults. This may be due, in part, to changes in the transcriptional program of skeletal muscle following repeated bouts of exercise. However, the impact of chronic exercise training on the transcriptional response to an acute bout of endurance exercise has not been clearly determined. Here, we characterized baseline differences in muscle transcriptome and exercise-induced response in older adults who were active/endurance trained or sedentary. RNA-sequencing was performed on vastus lateralis biopsy specimens obtained before, immediately after, and 3 h following a bout of endurance exercise (40 min of cycling at 60%–70% of heart rate reserve). Using a recently developed bioinformatics approach, we found that transcript signatures related to type I myofibers, mitochondria, and endothelial cells were higher in active/endurance-trained adults and were associated with key phenotypic features including V̇o2peak, ATPmax, and muscle fiber proportion. Immune cell signatures were elevated in the sedentary group and linked to visceral and intermuscular adipose tissue mass. Following acute exercise, we observed distinct temporal transcriptional signatures that were largely similar among groups. Enrichment analysis revealed catabolic processes were uniquely enriched in the sedentary group at the 3-h postexercise timepoint. In summary, this study revealed key transcriptional signatures that distinguished active and sedentary adults, which were associated with difference in oxidative capacity and depot-specific adiposity. The acute response signatures were consistent with beneficial effects of endurance exercise to improve muscle health in older adults irrespective of exercise history and adiposity.

Resistance Exercise Reverses Aging in Human Skeletal Muscle

Project description:Human aging is associated with skeletal muscle atrophy and functional impairment (sarcopenia). Multiple lines of evidence suggest that mitochondrial dysfunction is a major contributor to sarcopenia. We evaluated whether healthy aging was associated with a transcriptional profile reflecting mitochondrial impairment and whether resistance exercise could reverse this signature to that approximating a younger physiological age. Skeletal muscle biopsies from healthy older (N = 25) and younger (N = 26) adult men and women were compared using gene expression profiling, and a subset of these were related to measurements of muscle strength. 14 of the older adults had muscle samples taken before and after a six-month resistance exercise-training program. Before exercise training, older adults were 59% weaker than younger, but after six months of training in older adults, strength improved significantly (P<0.001) such that they were only 38% lower than young adults. As a consequence of age, we found 596 genes differentially expressed using a false discovery rate cut-off of 5%. Prior to the exercise training, the transcriptome profile showed a dramatic enrichment of genes associated with mitochondrial function with age. However, following exercise training the transcriptional signature of aging was markedly reversed back to that of younger levels for most genes that were affected by both age and exercise. We conclude that healthy older adults show evidence of mitochondrial impairment and muscle weakness, but that this can be partially reversed at the phenotypic level, and substantially reversed at the transcriptome level, following six months of resistance exercise training.

Expression of protocadherin gamma in skeletal muscle tissue is associated with age and muscle weakness

Project description:The skeletal muscle system plays an important role in the independence of older adults. In this study we examine differences in the skeletal muscle transcriptome between healthy young and older subjects and (pre‐)frail older adults. Additionally, we examine the effect of resistance‐type exercise training on the muscle transcriptome in healthy older subjects and (pre‐)frail older adults. Baseline transcriptome profiles were measured in muscle biopsies collected from 53 young, 73 healthy older subjects, and 61 frail older subjects. Follow‐up samples from these frail older subjects (31 samples) and healthy older subjects (41 samples) were collected after 6 months of progressive resistance‐type exercise training. Frail older subjects trained twice per week and the healthy older subjects trained three times per week. At baseline genes related to mitochondrial function and energy metabolism were differentially expressed between older and young subjects, as well as between healthy and frail older subjects. Three hundred seven genes were differentially expressed after training in both groups. Training affected expression levels of genes related to extracellular matrix, glucose metabolism, and vascularization. Expression of genes that were modulated by exercise training was indicative of muscle strength at baseline. Genes that strongly correlated with strength belonged to the protocadherin gamma gene cluster (r = −0.73). Our data suggest significant remaining plasticity of ageing skeletal muscle to adapt to resistance‐type exercise training. Some age‐related changes in skeletal muscle gene expression appear to be partially reversed by prolonged resistance‐type exercise training. The protocadherin gamma gene cluster may be related to muscle denervation and re‐innervation in ageing muscle.

Age-dependent impact of two exercise training regimens on genomic and metabolic remodeling in skeletal muscle and liver of male mice

Project description:How skeletal muscle adapts to different types of exercise intensity with age is not known. Adult and old C57BL/6 male mice were assigned to one of three groups: sedentary, daily high-intensity intermittent training (HIIT), or moderate intensity continuous training (MICT) for 4 weeks, compatible with the older group’s exercise capacity. Improvements in body composition, fasting blood glucose, and muscle strength were mostly observed in the MICT old group, while effects of HIIT training in adult and old animals was less clear. Skeletal muscle exhibited structural and functional adaptations to exercise training, as revealed by electron microscopy, OXPHOS assays, respirometry, and muscle protein biomarkers. Transcriptomics analysis of gastrocnemius muscle combined with liver and serum metabolomics unveiled an age-dependent metabolic remodeling in response to exercise training. These results support a tailored exercise prescription approach aimed at improving health and ameliorating age-associated loss of muscle strength and function in the elderly.

Exercise Program for Colorectal Older Patients

Project description:The Exercise for COlorectal OLder patients (ECOOL program) is randomized controlled trial to assess the effects of an exercise program on physical function and health-related quality of life of patients 75 years and older with colorectal cancer undergoing surgery. ECOOL is a multicomponent home-based exercise intervention focused on the development of strength, balance, gait ability and inspiratory muscle function of older patients who receive weekly telephone follow-up from cancer diagnosis to 3 months after surgery. The investigators expect that ECOOL program will improve physical function and health-related quality of life of older patients 3 months after surgery and to maintain these benefits up to 6 months after surgery compared with the control group receiving usual care.

Impact of high intensity and moderate exercise on genomic and metabolic remodeling with age in male mice

Project description:How skeletal muscle adapts to different types of exercise intensity with age is not known. Young and old C57BL/6 male mice were assigned to either a sedentary or two types of exercise regimes consisting of daily high-intensity intermittent (HIIT) or moderate intensity continuous (MICT) training for 4 weeks, compatible with the older group’s exercise capacity. Body composition, fasting blood glucose levels, and muscle strength were improved in exercised old mice compared to sedentary controls, while the exercise benefits were absent in younger animals. Skeletal muscle exhibited structural and functional adaptations in response to exercise, as revealed by electron microscopy, OXPHOS assays, respirometry, and PGC-1 and LC3-II protein levels. Transcriptomics analysis of gastrocnemius muscle combined with liver and serum metabolomics unveiled an age-dependent metabolic remodeling provoked by exercise through mitochondrial biogenesis, energy metabolism, and cellular plasticity. These results are supportive of a tailored exercise prescription approach with the goal of improving health and ameliorating age-associated loss of muscle mass, strength and function in the elderly.
