Project description:Recent discoveries in the field of skeletal muscle have found that the contractile protein myosin is able to dictate the resting metabolic rate of this organ. In this study we aimed to investigate if myosin is involved in the process of metabolic shutdown which is observed during hibernation. Comparing large and small hibernating mammals, we found that in small hibernating mammals, the rate of ATP turnover dictated by myosin was altered and that this was also dependent upon the temperature of skeletal muscle. We further investigated changes to the whole proteome of these animals and observed that in small hibernators found significant changes to sarcomere organization during hibernating periods. Finally, we identified hyperphosphorylation upon the myosin molecule in these small hibernators which was predicted to induce stability changes to this molecule. In this dataset, we compared the proteome of skeletal muscle fibre samples from squirrels collected in summer and winter time.

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:Muscle atrophy is a physiological response to disuse and malnutrition, but hibernating bears are largely resistant to this phenomenon. Unlike other mammals, they efficiently reabsorb amino acids from urine, periodically activate muscle contraction, and their adipocytes differentially responds to insulin. The contribution of myocytes to the reduced atrophy remains largely unknown. Here we show how metabolism and atrophy signaling are regulated in skeletal muscle of hibernating grizzly bear.

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:Hibernation in mammals such as the thirteen-lined ground squirrel (Ictidomys tridecemlineatus) takes place over 4 to 6 months and is characterized by multi-day bouts of hypothermic torpor (5-7 °C core body temperature) that are regularly interrupted every 1-2 weeks by brief (12-24 hour) normothermic arousal periods called interbout arousals. The goal of our work was to identify the molecular mechanisms which underlie the hibernator’s ability to preserve heart function and avoid the deleterious effects of skeletal muscle disuse atrophy over prolonged periods of inactivity, starvation, and near-freezing body temperatures. To achieve this goal, we performed organelle enrichment of heart and skeletal muscle at five seasonal time points followed by LC-MS-based label-free quantitative proteomics. In both organs we saw a dramatic increase in levels of many proteins as ground squirrels transition from an active state in September to a pre-hibernation state in October. Interestingly, seasonal abundance patterns also identified new candidates for mitigating disuse atrophy in skeletal muscle which include higher levels of DHRS7C, SRL, and RTN2 in December-January torpid, IBA, and March active animals; and higher March active levels of TRIM72 and MPZ. Elevation of these proteins prompted us to perform an ex vivo contractile mechanics analysis of both type 1 (soleus) and type 2 (extensor digitorum longus) muscles in fall active, torpid, and spring active animals. Consistent with our hypotheses, both muscle types showed no deleterious effects despite several months of sedentary activity that would normally result in reduced muscle performance in non-hibernating mammals. An increased understanding of protein expression in natural hibernators may enable novel therapeutic strategies to treat human health concerns such as muscle disuse atrophy and heart disease.
