Project description:Hibernation is an energy-saving strategy adopted by a wide range of mammals to survive highly seasonal or unpredictable environments. Arctic ground squirrels living in Alaska provide an extreme example, with 6-9 months long hibernation seasons when body temperature alternates between levels near 0 C during torpor and 37 C during arousal episodes. Heat production during hibernation is provided, in part, by non-shivering thermogenesis that occurs in large deposits of brown adipose tissue (BAT). BAT is active at tissue temperatures from 0 to 37 C during rewarming and continuously at near 0 C during torpor in subfreezing conditions. Despite its crucial role in hibernation, the global gene expression patterns in BAT during hibernation compared to the non-hibernation season remain largely unknown. We report a large-scale study of differential gene expression in BAT between winter hibernating and summer active arctic ground squirrels using mouse microarrays. Selected differentially expressed genes identified on the arrays were validated by quantitative real-time PCR using ground squirrel specific primers. Our results show that the mRNA levels of the genes involved in nearly every step of the biochemical pathway leading to non-shivering thermogenesis are significantly increased in BAT during hibernation, whereas those of genes involved in protein biosynthesis are significantly decreased compared to the summer active animals in August. The differentially expressed genes also include those involved in adipose differentiation, substrate transport, and structure remodeling, which may enhance thermogenesis at low tissue temperatures in BAT.

Project description:Hibernation is energy saving adaptation involving suppression of activity to survive in highly seasonal environments. Immobility and disuse generate muscle loss in most mammalian species. In contrast to other mammals, bears and ground squirrels demonstrate limited muscle atrophy over the physical inactivity of winter hibernation. This suggests that hibernating mammals have adaptive mechanisms to prevent disuse muscle atrophy. To identify common transcriptional program underlying molecular mechanisms preventing muscle loss, we conducted a large-scale gene expression screening in hind limb muscles comparing hibernating and summer active black bears and arctic ground squirrels by the use of custom 9,600 probe cDNA microarrays. The molecular pathway analysis showed an elevated proportion of overexpressed genes involved in all stages of protein biosynthesis and ribosome biogenesis in muscle of both species during hibernation that implies induction of translation at different hibernation states. The induction of protein biosynthesis likely contributes to attenuation of disuse muscle atrophy through prolonged periods of immobility and starvation. This adaptive mechanism allows hibernating mammals to maintain full musculoskeletal function and preserve mobility during and immediately after hibernation, thus promoting survival. The lack of directional changes in genes of protein catabolic pathways does not support the importance of metabolic suppression for preserving muscle mass during winter. Coordinated reduction of multiply genes involved in oxidation reduction and glucose metabolism detected in both species is consistent with metabolic suppression and lower energy demand in skeletal muscle during inactivity of hibernation. Black bears sampled during winter hibernation were compared with the animals sampled during summer. Muscle tissue were hybridized on a custom 12,800 cDNA probe nylon membrane microarray platform . Six hibernating and six summer active bears were studied in the experiment.

Project description:We conducted a large-scale gene expression screen using the 3,200 cDNA probe microarray developed specifically for Ursus americanus to detect expression differences in liver and skeletal muscle that occur during winter hibernation in comparison to animals sampled during summer. The expression of 12 genes, including RNA binding protein motif 3 (Rbm3), that are mostly involved in protein biosynthesis, was induced during hibernation in both liver and muscle. The Gene Ontology and Gene Set Enrichment analysis consistently showed a highly significant enrichment of the protein biosynthesis category by over-expressed genes in both liver and skeletal muscle during hibernation. Coordinated induction in transcriptional level of genes involved in protein biosynthesis is a distinctive feature of the transcriptome in hibernating black bears. This finding implies induction of translation and suggests an adaptive mechanism that contributes to a unique ability to reduce muscle atrophy over prolonged periods of immobility during hibernation. Comparing expression profiles in bears to small mammalian hibernators shows a general trend during hibernation of transcriptional changes that include induction of genes involved in lipid metabolism and carbohydrate synthesis as well as depression of genes involved in the urea cycle and detoxification function in liver. Black bears sampled during winter hibernation were compared with the animals sampled during summer. Two tissue types, liver and muscle, were hybridized on a custom 3,200-gene nylon membrane microarray platform with three replicates for each gene (9.600 spots in total). Six hibernating and five summer active bears were studied in experiments with liver tissue, five hibernating and five summer active animals were tested with muscle tissue.

Project description:Physical inactivity reduces mechanical load on the skeleton, which leads to losses of bone mass and strength in non hibernating mammalian species. Although bears are largely inactive during hibernation, they show no loss in bone mass and strength. To obtain insight into molecular mechanisms preventing disuse bone loss, we conducted a large-scale screen of transcriptional changes in trabecular bone comparing winter hibernating and summer non hibernating black bears using a custom 12,800 probe cDNA microarray. A total of 241 genes were differentially expressed (P < 0.01 and fold change > 0.5) in the ilium bone of bears between winter and summer. The Gene Ontology and Gene Set Enrichment analysis showed an elevated proportion in hibernating bears of over-expressed genes in six functional sets of genes involved in anabolic processes of tissue morphogenesis and development including skeletal development, cartilage development and bone biosynthesis. Apoptosis genes demonstrated a tendency for down regulation during hibernation. No coordinated directional changes were detected for genes involved in bone resorption, although some genes responsible for osteoclast formation and differentiation (Ostf1, Rab9a, c- Fos) were significantly under expressed in bone of hibernating bears. Elevated expression of multiple anabolic genes without induction of bone resorption genes, and the down regulation of apoptosis related genes, likely contribute to the adaptive mechanism that preserves bone mass and structure through prolonged periods of immobility during hibernation. Black bears sampled during winter hibernation were compared with the animals sampled during summer. Bone RNA were hybridized on a custom 12,800 cDNA probe nylon membrane microarray platform . Six hibernating and six summer active bears were studied in this experiments.

Project description:Hibernating American black bears have significantly different clotting parameters than their active summer counterparts, affording them innate protection against venous thromboembolism (VTE) despite prolonged periods of immobility. Physiologic changes that occur during hibernation are thought to result from differential gene expression, rather than novel genes, and there is increasing evidence miRNAs may play an important role this regulation. We propose that significant differences exist in miRNA expression in the plasma of hibernating black bears compared to their active counter parts (summer), which lead to critical gene regulation responsible for auto-anticoagulation during hibernation. Methods: Blood was collected from 21 American black bears in the Northern Michigan Peninsula in summer 2017 and winter 2018 (11 active, 10 hibernating). Plasma was extracted Results: Fifteen miRNAs were differentially expressed in the plasma of hibernating black bears. Nine miRNAs were significantly downregulated (miR10b-3p, miR-136-3p, miR-181c-5p , miR-200a-3p, miR-200b-5p, miR-200c-3p, miR-320b, miR-320c and miR-320d) and six miRNAs were significantly upregulated (miR-15a-5p, miR-15b-3p, miR-15b-5p, miR-16-5p, miR-92a-3p, miR-150-5p) during hibernation. Twelve miRNAs had no identifiable targets, but miR-200a-3p, miR-200b-5p and miR-200c-3p found to be targets of SERPINC1, the gene responsible for the production of antithrombin (AT). Conclusions: Several miRNAs were differentially expressed in hibernating bears (12). Most importantly miR-200a-3p, miR-200b-5p and miR-200c-3p were all downregulated in hibernation and associated with increased expression of SERPINC1 and production of AT. AT is a powerful anticoagulant and this finding may explain the hibernating black bears ability to achieve auto-anticoagulation and protection from VTE.
