Project description:A single bout of exercise induces changes in gene expression in skeletal muscle. Regular exercise results in an adaptive response involving changes in muscle architecture and biochemistry, and is an effective way to manage and prevent common human diseases such as obesity, cardiovascular disorders and type II diabetes. Our study is a transcriptome-wide analysis of skeletal muscle tissue in a large cohort of untrained Thoroughbred horses before and after a bout of high-intensity exercise and again after an extended period of training. We hypothesized that regular high-intensity exercise training primes the transcriptome for the demands of high-intensity exercise.
Project description:Exercise is an effective strategy in the prevention and treatment of metabolic diseases. Alterations in the skeletal muscle proteome, including post-translational modifications, regulate its metabolic adaptations to exercise. Here, we examined the effect of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on the proteome and acetylome of human skeletal muscle, revealing the response of 3168 proteins and 1263 lysine acetyl-sites on 464 acetylated proteins. We identified novel protein adaptations to exercise training involved in metabolism and excitation-contraction coupling. Furthermore, HIIT increased the acetylation of mitochondrial proteins, particularly those of complex V, likely via non-enzymatic mechanisms. We also highlight the regulation of novel exercise-responsive histone acetyl-sites. These data demonstrate the plasticity of the skeletal muscle proteome and acetylome, providing insight into the regulation of contractile, metabolic and transcriptional processes within skeletal muscle. Herein, we provide a substantial hypothesis-generating resource to stimulate further mechanistic research investigating how exercise improves metabolic health.
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:The few investigations on exercise-induced global gene expression responses in human skeletal muscle haves typically focused at one specific mode of exercise and few such studies have implemented control measures. However, interpretation on distinct phenotype regulation necessitate comparison between essentially different modes of exercise and the ability to identify true exercise effects, necessitate implementation of independent non-exercise control subjects. Furthermore, muscle transkriptometranscriptome data made available through previous exercise studies can be difficult to extract and interpret by individuals that are inexperienced with bioinformatic procedures. In a comparative study, we; (1) investigated the human skeletal muscle transcriptome response to differentiated exercise and non-exercise control intervention, and; (2) aimed to develop a straightforward search tool to allow for easy extraction and interpretation of our data. We provide a simple spreadsheet containing transcriptome data allowing other investigators to see how mRNA of their interest behave in skeletal muscle following exercise, both endurance, strength and non-exercise. Our approach, allow investigators easy access to information on genuine transcriptome effects of differentiated exercise, to better aid hyporthesis-driven question in this particular field of research. 18 subjects were divided into 3 groups, performing 12 weeks of Endurance or Strength training or no training. Biopsies for microarray were take before (Pre) and 2½ and 5 hours after the last training session. Isolated RNA from these biopsies were then measured with the Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST arrays.
Project description:Skeletal muscle has an enormous plastic potential to adapt to various external and internal
perturbations. While morphological changes in endurance-trained muscles are well-described,
the molecular underpinnings of training adaptation are poorly understood. We aimed at
defining the molecular signature of a trained muscle and unraveling the training status-
dependent responses to an acute bout of exercise. Our results reveal that even though at
baseline, the transcriptomes of trained and untrained muscles are very similar, training status
substantially affects the transcriptional response to an acute challenge, both quantitatively and
qualitatively, in part mediated by epigenetic modifications. Furthermore, proteomic changes
were elicited by different transcriptional modalities. Finally, transiently activated factors such
as the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1alpha (PGC-1alpha) are indispensable
for normal training adaptation. Together, these results provide a molecular framework of the
temporal and training status-dependent exercise response that defines muscle plasticity in
training.
