Single-cell transcriptomic analyses unveil exercise-induced changes in murine skin vascular endothelial cells

ABSTRACT: Physical activity (PA) is a fundamental aspect of preventive medicine, offering profound benefits for cardiovascular health and overall well-being. Despite its widespread benefits, the molecular mechanisms underlying PA-induced improvements in microvascular functions remain poorly understood. The skin microvasculature is uniquely affected by exercise-induced shear stress, especially during thermoregulation. Using single-cell RNA sequencing, we investigated how voluntary exercise influences the transcription profile of endothelial cells in the skin microvasculature of mice. We assigned 20 mice to either a sedentary group or a 1-month voluntary exercise program involving running wheels. Post-intervention, we collected skin biopsies from twelve mice for transcriptomic analyses. The differential expression analysis showed a significant increase in the expression of the Zbtb16 gene in vascular endothelial cells (vECs). The expression of Zbtb16 in vECs was correlated with genes involved in angiogenesis. Additionally, Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) with nominally differentially expressed genes in vECs highlighted the suppression of pathways related to oxidative stress, cell proliferation and metabolism in the exercise group. This suggests an exercise-triggered transition towards improved metabolic efficiency and enhanced homeostasis in vECs. These results begin to reveal how exercise induces molecular changes in vECs of the skin microvasculature, highlighting PA's role in influencing endothelial function.

Effects of Voluntary Exercise on Hippocampal Gene Expression in male C57Bl/6J mice

Project description:This experiment was designed to identify changes in gene expression in the brain (specifically the hipocampus) in relation to variable levels of voluntary exercise. Male C57Bl/6J mice were weaned onto a low fat diet (LF; Research Diets D12329, 11% kcal fat) and given continuous access to exercise wheels (30.3 x 20.6 x 26 cm; Mini Mitter®, Nalgene® Activity Wheel for Rodents) at ten weeks of age, for three days (n=96). Six mice had their wheels locked to act as sedentary controls (sed). Animals were considered to be high runners (HR) if they ran >= 5 km/night and low runners (LR) if they ran <= 2 km/night. Middle runners (MR) were chosen randomly from the population of animals falling between the high and low groups. This series is comprised of array results from three parallel experiments comparing HR versus sed, MR versus sed, and HR versus LR. Six hybridizations were performed for each of the three comparisons (3 forward-labeled, 3-reverse labeled) to account for dye-incorporation differences. One slide from the HR vs LR experiment was broken during processing, so only five are included from that group.

Regular physical activity followed by detraining increases the sensitivity of global gene expression to acute exercise stress

Project description:To determine the influence of a previous physcial activity period (e.g., exercise) on global gene expression, we compared differential expression in sedentary (SED) and detrained (DETR) rats relative to trained (TR) rats with regular access to physcial activity. TR and DETR rats had voluntary access to caged running wheels for 8 and 4 weeks, respectively. DETR rats were moved to sedentary conditions (normal cage activity) for another 4 weeks. SED rats experienced 8 weeks of normal caged activity; n=8 per group. At the end of each group's respective 8 weeks, all rats underwent 1 hr of moderate of acute exercise stress (e.g., forced wheel running at a speed of 20 m/min). Soleus muscles were harvested 24h post-running.

MicroRNAs in an Experimental Model of Physiologic Left Ventricular Hypertrophy: a Microarray-based Analysis

Project description:BACKGROUND - MicroRNAs (miRs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression. Transgenic models have proved that a single miR can induce pathological cardiac hypertrophy and failure. The roles of miRs in the genesis of physiologic left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), however, are not well elucidated. OBJECTIVE - To evaluate miRs expression in an experimental model of exercise-induced LVH. METHODS - Male Balb/c mice were divided into sedentary (SED) and exercise (EXE) groups. Voluntary exercise was performed in odometer-monitored metal wheels during 35 days. Analyses were performed after 7 and 35 days of training, and consisted of transthoracic echocardiography, maximal exercise test, miRs microarray (miRBase v.16) and real-time qRT-PCR analysis. RESULTS - Left ventricular weight/body weight ratio increased by 7% in the EXE group at day 7 (p<0.01) and by 11% at 35 days of training (p<0.001) After 7 days of training, microarray identified 35 deregulated miRs: 20 had an increase in their expression and 15 were down-regulated (p=0.01). At day 35 of training, 25 miRs were deregulated: 15 were up-regulated and 10 had decreased their expression compared to the SED group (p<0.01). qRT-PCR confirmed an increase in miR-150 levels at both time points and a decrease in miR-26b, miR-27a and miR-143 after 7 days of voluntary exercise. CONCLUSIONS M-bM-^@M-^S We unraveled new miRs that can modulate physiological cardiac hypertrophy, particularly miR-26b, -150, 27a and -143. Our data also indicate that previously established regulatory gene pathways involved in pathological LVH are not deregulated in physiologic LVH.

Efficient direct reprogramming of c-Kit− mature amniotic cells into endothelial cells by ETS factors and TGFβ suppression

Project description:ETS transcription factors ETV2, FLI1 and ERG1 specify pluripotent stem cells into endothelial cells (PSC-ECs). However, these PSC-ECs are unstable and often drift towards non-vascular cell fates. We show that human mid-gestation c-Kit- lineage-committed amniotic cells (ACs) can be reprogrammed into induced vascular endothelial cells (rAC-VECs). Transient ETV2 expression in ACs generated immature iVECs, while co-expression with FLI1/ERG1 endowed rAC-VECs with a vascular repertoire and morphology matching mature ECs. Brief TGFb-inhibition functionalizes VEGFR2 signaling, augmenting specification of ACs into rAC-VECs. Genome-wide transcriptional analyses showed that rAC-VECs are similar to adult ECs in which vascular-specific genes are expressed and non-vascular genes are silenced. Functionally, rAC-VECs form stable vasculature in Matrigel plugs and regenerating livers. Thus, short-term ETV2 expression and TGFb-inhibition along with constitutive ERG1/FLI1 co-expression reprogram mature ACs into generic rAC-VECs with clinical-scale expansion potential. Public banking of HLA-typed rAC-VECs would establish a vascular inventory for treatment of genetically diverse disorders.

Maternal Exercise Prior to and During Gestation Induces Sex-Specific Alterations in the Mouse Placenta

Project description:Examined the role of maternal voluntary wheel running commencing 10 weeks prior to gestation, and throughout pregnancy, on placental transcriptome in late gestation While exercise (EX) is beneficial during pregnancy for both mother and child, little is known about the mechanisms by which maternal (MAT EX) mediates changes in utero. We hypothesized that effects of MAT EX prior to and during gestation will be evident in transcriptomic signatures in the placenta and will be sexually dimorphic. Six-week-old female C57BL/6 mice were divided into 2 groups; with (exercise, EX; N = 7) or without (sedentary, SED; N = 8) access to voluntary running wheels. EX was provided via 24-hour access to wheels for 10 weeks prior to conception until late pregnancy (18.5 days post coitum). Sex-stratified placenta and fetal livers were collected. Mi-croarray analysis of SED and EX placenta revealed that MAT EX affected gene transcript expression of 283 and 661 transcripts in male and female placenta (±1.4-fold, p < 0.05). Gene-set enrichment and Ingenuity Pathway analyses of male placenta showed that MAT EX led to inhibition of sig-naling pathways, biological functions, and down regulation of transcripts related to lipid and steroid, while MAT EX in female placentas led to activation of pathways, biological functions, and gene expression related to muscle growth, brain, vascular development, and growth factors. Overall, our results suggest that effects of MAT EX on the placenta and presumably on the offspring are influenced by maternal habitus and are sexually dimorphic.

Comparison between type-I vascular endothelial cells (VECs) and type-II VECs

Project description:Human VECs are categorized into two groups regarding their effects on the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs):type-I, pro-proliferative VECs and type-II anti-proliferative VECs. The effects of VECs on VSMC proliferation were quantitatively assessed according to the following method: human aortic smooth muscle cells, which were stained by PKH-26 in advance, were cultured on the layer of CFSE-stained VECs, and VSMC proliferation were evaluated after four days by flow cytometry analyses using ModFit LTM-bM-^DM-" software (Verity Software House Inc., Topsham, ME). Commercially available primary human VECs including HUVEC, HAEC and HMVEC as well as the majority of endothelial progenitor cell (EPC)-derived VECs (EPCdECs), whether EPCs were obtained from adult or fetal tissues, enhanced VSMC proliferation, showing type-I phenotype. EPCdECs of minor donors including EPC1dEC suppressed VSMC proliferation, showing type-II phenotype. However, type-II VECs turned into type-I VECs after a few rounds of subcultures. Comparative analyses on gene expression profiles between type-I VECs and type-II VECs revealed that regulator of G-protein signaling 5 (RGS5) was the only gene that showed the discriminative expression pattern: high expressions in type-I VECs and low expressions in type-II VECs. Totally six samples of type-I VECs (HUVEC, HAEC, HMVEC, EPC1dEC[P12], UCEPC1dEC, EPC2dEC[P7]) and two samples of type-II VECs (EPC1dEC[P7] and EPC1dEC[P7] purchased at a different time point) were subjected to the analyses.
