Global proteomics reveals distinct muscle adaptations to menstrual cycle phase-based sprint interval training in endurance-trained females

ABSTRACT: Advances in mass-spectrometry (MS)-based technologies have leveraged our understanding of protein-wide adaptations in human skeletal muscle in response to exercise. However, there is a lack of such data in females, particularly pertaining to already trained females and menstrual cycle phase-based sprint interval training (SIT) despite its efficacy and popularity. Here, we present a comprehensive global proteome analysis of skeletal muscle adaptations to high-frequency SIT during different menstrual cycle phases in endurance-trained females. We randomized 49 eumenorrheic females to either high-frequency SIT in the follicular (FB) or luteal phase (LB) over one menstrual cycle comprising eight sessions of 6×30-s all-out efforts. MS-proteomics, covering 4155 proteins after filtering, revealed notable differences in muscle adaptations to phase-based SIT. LB suppressed mitochondrial pathways of the tricarboxylic acid cycle and electron transport chain while enriching ribosomal complexes. Conversely, FB enriched filament organization and skeletal system development. Mitochondrial repression during LB was linked to reduced O2max, whereas exercise capacity improved in FB only. Our findings show that menstrual cycle phase-based high-frequency SIT induces distinct protein-wide muscle adaptations and affects phenotype in endurance-trained eumenorrheic females.

Project description:Methods for studying mitochondrial adaptations in skeletal muscle have mostly used whole-muscle samples, where results may be confounded by the presence of a mixture of type I and II skeletal muscle fibres. In this project, we utilised the latest Mass spectrometry (MS) techniques to provide new insights into mitochondrial adaptations in type I and II fibres in response to two different types of training – moderate-intensity-continuous training (MICT) and sprint-interval training (SIT). An 8-week training intervention was undertaken by 23 men who performed either MICT or SIT. Single muscle fibres from skeletal muscle biopsies were collected at rest, before and after the 8 weeks of training, and pooled for subsequent MS analysis. A proteomic workflow was applied that permitted a three-tiered comparison and quantification of mitochondrial proteins in different fibre types. Our protocol includes tandem mass tag labelling for increased identification of low-abundant proteins. We quantified more than 45% of known mitochondrial proteins in skeletal muscle. When comparing type I to type II fibres,24 mitochondrial proteins were differentially expressed following MICT and 10 following SIT. These altered proteins were associated with known cellular pathways within the mitochondria, including oxidative phosphorylation, the TCA cycle and fatty acid oxidation. There were distinct trends for fibre-type-specific protein responses to different types of exercise training. Following MICT proteins mostly increased in abundance in type I fibres, without analogous changes observed following SIT. This greater upregulation of mitochondrial proteins observed following MICT, suggests exercise volume is a powerful stimulus for mitochondrial adaptations. This upregulation mostly seen in type I fibres is consistent with the predominate recruitment of this fibre type with MICT. When normalised to mitochondrial content further evidence to fibre-specific non-stoichiometrically induced increases in the expression of fatty acid mitochondrial proteins is presented, highlighting mitochondria as a pivotal subcellular site in facilitating substrate utilisation to increase ATP production in type I fibres. Conversely, the research suggests very high-intensity exercise training altered the systematic biogenesis of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) components, in particular complex IV subunits of the OXPHOS pathway. These results question the existing knowledge of fibre-type-specific changes to mitochondrial proteins in response to exercise training and provide a valuable contribution to understanding the mechanisms by which exercise helps to improve health and prevent disease.
