Can half-marathon affect overall health? The yin-yang of sport

ABSTRACT: Physical activity improves overall health and counteracts metabolic pathologies. Adipose tissue and bone are important key targets of exercise; the prevalence of diseases associated with suboptimal physical activity levels has increased in recent times as a result of lifestyle changes. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) differentiation in either osteogenic or adipogenic lineage is regulated by many factors. Particularly, the expression of master genes such as RUNX2 and PPARγ2 is essential for MSC commitment to osteogenic or adipogenic differentiation, respectively. Besides various positive effects on health, some authors have reported stressful outcomes as a consequence of endurance in physical activity. We looked for further clues about MSCs differentiation and serum proteins modulation studying the effects of half marathon in runners by means of gene expression analyses and a proteomic approach. Our results demonstrated an increase in osteogenic commitment and a reduction in adipogenic commitment of MSCs. In addition, for the first time we have analyzed the proteomic profile changes in runners after half-marathon activity in order to survey the related systemic adjustments. Interestingly, proteomic data showed the activation of both inflammatory response and detoxification process. Moreover, the involvement of pathways associated to immune response, lipid transport and coagulation, was elicited. Notably, positive and negative effects may be strictly linked.

Project description:The unique properties of the bone marrow allow for migration and proliferation of multipl myeloma (MM) cells, while also providing the perfect environment for development of quiescent, drug-resistant MM cell clones. Bone marrow adipocytes (BMAds), which have recently been identified as important contributors to systemic adipokine levels, bone strength, hematopoiesis, and progression of metastatic and primary bone marrow cancers, such as MM. Recent studies in myeloma suggest that BMAds can be reprogrammed by tumor cells to contribute to myeloma-induced bone disease, and reciprocally, BMAds support MM cells in vitro. Importantly, most data investigating BMAds have been generated using adipocytes derived by differentiating bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) into adipocytes in vitro using adipogenic media, due to the extreme technical challenges associated with isolating and culturing primary adipocytes. However, if studies could be performed with primary adipocytes, they likely will recapitulate in vivo biology better than MSC-derived adipocyte, as the differentiation process is artificial and differs from in vivo differentiation, and progenitor cell(s) of the primary BMAd may not be the same as the MSCs precursors used for adipogenic differentiation in vitro. Therefore, we developed and refined three methods for culturing primary BMAds (pBMAds): 2D coverslips, 2D transwells, and 3D silk scaffolds, all of which can be cultured alone or with MM cells to investigate bidirectional tumor-host signaling. To develop an in vitro model with a tissue-like structure to mimic the bone marrow microenvironment, we developed the first 3D, tissue engineered model utilizing pBMAds derived from human bone marrow. We found that pBMAds, which are extremely fragile, can be isolated and stably cultured in 2D for 10 days and in 3D for short term (~2 weeks) or long term (1 month) in vitro. To investigate the relationship between pBMAds and myeloma, MM cells can be added to investigate physical relationships through confocal imaging and soluble signaling molecules via mass spectrometry. In sum, we developed three in vitro cell culture systems to study primary bone marrow adipocytes and myeloma cells, which could be adapted to investigate many diseases and biological processes involving the bone marrow, including other bone-homing tumor types.
