Project description:still unknown bear circulating factors have been reported to induce a 40% decrease of the net proteolytic rate in isolated rat muscles, accompanied by downregulation of expression levels of both lysosomal and ubiquitin-dependent proteolytic factors. Here we investigated the phenotype of cultivated human myocytes treated with hibernating bear serum, by disentangling impacts at the trophic, protein balance, and transcriptome and proteome levels. This study represents the first step towards characterization of the winter bear serum potential as a source of new therapeutic molecules to fight against human muscle atrophy.

Project description:Muscle atrophy is one of the main deleterious consequences of ageing and physical inactivity. Although basic knowledge regarding the underlying mechanisms of muscle atrophy is continuously growing, there are still no efficient therapeutic strategies for its prevention and treatment. Hibernating bears exhibit a strong and unique ability to preserve muscle mass in conditions where muscle atrophy is observed in humans. However, underlying mechanisms have not been understood yet. To fill this gap, the aim of this study was to characterize changes in the bear muscle proteome during hibernation versus the active period. Muscle biopsies were obtained from Ursus arctos bears.

Project description:In mammals, loss of food intake and reduced mechanical loading/activity of skeletal muscles leads to a very rapid loss in mass and function. However, during hibernation in bears, despite spending months without feeding and with very modest muscle activity, only moderate muscle wasting is observed. Part of this tissue sparing is due to a highly reduced metabolic activity in almost all tissues, including skeletal muscle. Interestingly, myosin, one of the most abundant proteins in skeletal muscle, can have different metabolic activities in inactive muscle. Therefore, to evaluate the functional and metabolic alterations in hibernating muscles, we performed an analysis on a single muscle fiber level. Individual fibers were taken from biopsies of the same bears either during hibernation or during the active phase in the summer. We confirm that muscle fibers from hibernating bears show no loss of fiber size and a mild reduction in force generating capacity. However, ATPase activity of single muscle fibers taken from hibernating bears show a significant reduction in ATPase activity, which is due to a reduced ATP turnover by myosin. By performing a single fiber proteomics analysis, we could determine in a fiber type specific manner that muscle fibers undergo a major remodeling of their proteome. Both type 2A and type 1/2A mixed fibers show a marked reduction in mitochondrial proteins during hibernation, with a decrease in proteins linked to the TCA cycle and mitochondrial translation.

Project description:Here we provide mass-spectrometry based plasma proteomics data of hibernating and active wild Scandinavian brown bears (Ursus arctos arctos). The brown bear hibernates for half the year. Despite obesity and the prolonged period of inactivity, bears show no signs of the harmful effects associated with these conditions in humans. Thus, the hibernating bear is a protentional translational model for addressing these complications in humans. We analyzed plasma samples from 14 subadult 2- to 3-year-old (y/o) bears (6 males and 8 females) collected both during hibernation and active state, and for some for the bears during two seasons, resulting in a total of 38 analyzed plasma samples. In triplicates, the proteins in the plasma samples were unfolded and reduced. To increase depth of the analysis and the chance to detect low molecular weight proteins and peptides, we filtered samples with a 50K MWCO filter with the aim to deplete larger proteins. The proteins in the permeate were then tryptically digested, desalted, and analyzed with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Protein identification and quantification was performed with the MaxQuant software searching against an Ursus arctos horribilis protein database.

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:Brown bears (Ursus arctos) hibernate for 5-7 months without eating, drinking, urinating and defecating at a metabolic rate of only 25% of the summer activity rate. Nonetheless, they emerge healthy and alert in spring. We analyzed the physiological adaptations for hibernation by comparing the proteome, metabolome, and hematologic features of blood from hibernating and active free-ranging sub-adult brown bears with a focus on conservation of health and energy. We found that the concentrations of most plasma proteins and white blood cell types decreased during hibernation. Strikingly, antimicrobial defense proteins increased in concentration. Central functions in hibernation involving the coagulation response and protease inhibition, as well as lipid transport and metabolism, were upheld by increased levels of very few key or broad-specificity proteins. A dramatic 45-fold increase in sex-hormone-binding-globulin SHBG levels during hibernation draws, for the first time, attention to its significant but unknown role in maintaining hibernation physiology. We propose that energy for the costly protein synthesis is reduced by three mechanisms, (i) dehydration, which increases protein concentration without de novo synthesis; (ii) reduced protein degradation rates due to a 6°C reduction in body temperature, decreased protease activity, and increased plasma viscosity; and (iii) a marked redistribution of energy resources only increasing de novo synthesis of few key proteins. This comprehensive global data identified novel biochemical strategies for bear adaptations to the extreme condition of hibernation, and have implications for our understanding of physiology in general.

Project description:Translational control is an essential process for the cell to adapt to varying physiological or environmental conditions. To survive adverse conditions such as low nutrient levels, translation can be shut down almost entirely by inhibiting ribosomal function. Here we investigated eukaryotic hibernating ribosomes from the microsporidian parasite Spraguea lophii in situ by a combination of electron cryo-tomography (cryoET) and single particle cryoEM. We show that microsporidian spores contain hibernating ribosomes that are locked in the 100 S dimeric state, which is formed by a unique dimerisation mechanism involving the beak region. The ribosomes within the dimer are fully assembled, suggesting that they are ready to be activated once the host cell is invaded. This study provides structural evidence for dimerisation acting as a mechanism for ribosomal hibernation in microsporidia, and therefore demonstrates that eukaryotes utilise this mechanism in translational control.

Project description:The Biomarkers of Exposure to ARsenic (BEAR) pregnancy cohort in Gómez Palacio, Mexico was recently established to better understand the impacts of prenatal exposure to inorganic arsenic (iAs). In this study, we examined a subset (n = 40) of newborn cord blood samples for microRNA (miRNA) expression changes associated with in utero arsenic exposure. Levels of iAs in maternal drinking water (DW-iAs) and maternal urine were assessed. Levels of DW-iAs ranged from below detectable values to 236 µg/L (mean = 51.7 µg/L). Total arsenic in maternal urine (U-tAs) was defined as the sum of iAs and its monomethylated and dimethylated metabolites (MMAs and DMAs, respectively) and ranged from 6.2 to 319.7 µg/L (mean = 64.5 µg/L). Genome-wide miRNA expression analysis of cord blood revealed 12 miRNAs with increasing expression associated with U-tAs. Transcriptional targets of the miRNAs were computationally predicted and subsequently assessed using transcriptional profiling. Pathway analysis demonstrated that the U-tAs-associated miRNAs are involved in signaling pathways related to known health outcomes of iAs exposure including cancer and diabetes mellitus. Immune response-related mRNAs were also identified with decreased expression levels associated with U-tAs, and predicted to be mediated in part by the arsenic-responsive miRNAs. Results of this study highlight miRNAs as novel responders to prenatal arsenic exposure that may contribute to associated immune response perturbations. We assessed the impact of prenatal exposure to arsenic on genome-wide miRNA expression profiles and their potential influence on gene expression patterns in the Biomarkers of Exposure to ARsenic (BEAR) prospective pregnancy cohort. This cohort includes residents from Gómez Palacio, located in the state of Durango in the Lagunera region of Northern Mexico. A total of 200 pregnant women residing in Gómez Palacio, State of Durango, Mexico, were recruited at the General Hospital of Gómez Palacio to participate in the BEAR prospective pregnancy cohort. The present study focuses on gene expression profiles and utilizes 38 samples obtained from mother-newborn pairs selected from the larger cohort (n=200). The subcohort was selected to include subjects exposed to varying levels of arsenic as determined by both total arsenic in maternal urine (U-tAs) and inorganic arsenic in drinking water (DW-iAs). Cord blood samples were collected from the newborns immediately after infant delivery. Blood samples were collected using PreAnalytix PaxGene RNA tubes and extracted using the PAXgene RNA Kit, per standard protocol (Qiagen, Valencia, CA). Isolated RNA used for microarray analysis were amplified and labeled using the NuGEN Ovation Pico WTA System V2 and Encore Biotin Module, respectively (NuGEN, San Carlos, CA). RNA isolated from 38 cord blood samples were labeled and hybridized to the Affymetrix Human Gene 2.0 ST Array.

Project description:Venous thromboembolism (VTE) comprising deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism is a main cause of morbidity and mortality that causes tremendous health care costs. Short term immobility related conditions arising from hospitalization, acute trauma and forced bed rest are major risk factors for the development of VTE. In contrast, chronically paralyzed patients with post-spinal cord injury are protected from VTE despite immobilization. Similarly, free-ranging brown bears (Ursus arctos) that hibernate (immobilize) have adapted to this threat through yet to be discovered mechanisms and do not develop VTE. This suggests that long-term immobility can induce antithrombotic mechanisms that are evolutionarily conserved. Here we aimed to identify these adaptive mechanisms of VTE protection in a cross-species approach. Mass spectrometry-based proteomics identified platelet expressed heat shock protein 47 (Hsp47) as the most substantially downregulated protein during brown bear hibernation. In a clinical bed rest study and in spinal-cord injured humans, we likewise observed drastic reduction of platelet-expressed Hsp47. Genetic ablation and pharmaceutical inhibition of platelet Hsp47 attenuates deep vein thrombosis and thromboinflammatory responses in mice and human blood cells. This suggests that Hsp47 downregulation is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism that also protects immobilized patients from VTE. Our translational approach thus identified an antithrombotic signature that may give rise to novel antithrombotic therapeutics and prognostic markers.
