Project description:While exercise effects on the immune system received increasing attention in recent years, it remains unclear to what extent gender and fluctuations in sex hormones during menstrual cycle influence immunological responses to exercise. Using a previously published microarray data set, we investigated mRNA changes induced through exhaustive exercise (half-marathon; pre-exercise and post-exercise [30 min, 3h, 24h], whole blood culture ± LPS (1h)) with a specific focus on sex differences (women in luteal phase vs men). Inflammation related pathways, TLRs, cytosolic DNA sensing and RIG-I like receptors were differentially activated between sexes in LPS-stimulated cultures. Genes differentially regulated between sexes included TNIP-1, TNIP-3, IL-6, HIVEP1, CXCL3, CCR3, IL-8 and CD69, revealing a bias towards less anti-inflammatory gene regulation in women compared to men. In addition, several genes relevant to brain function (OLIG2, TMEM106B, DDIT4, and KMO) showed differential activation between sexes. Some of these genes (e.g., KMO in women, DDIT4 in both sexes) potentially constitute neuroprotective mechanisms. These data reveal that the exercise-induced change in gene expression might be gender and menstrual cycle phase dependent. Factorial design comparing LPS and control treated blood samples of male and female athletes before and after a half-marathon at different timepoints (half-marathon; pre-exercise and post-exercise [30 min, 3h, 24h])

Project description:Lean nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasingly recognized as a distinct clinical phenotype with limited evidence for effective non-pharmacological interventions and unclear mechanistic pathways. Aerobic exercise is recommended for NAFLD management; however, its effects and the gut microbiota–associated mechanisms in lean NAFLD remain incompletely understood. This dataset was generated from a randomized controlled trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04882644). Participants assigned to the aerobic exercise intervention group provided fecal samples at baseline and after the 3-month intervention. A total of 33 paired fecal samples were included in this dataset. Gut microbiota profiles were generated using shotgun metagenomic sequencing. The dataset includes processed and de-identified species-level relative abundance tables derived from fecal samples collected before and after the intervention. These data were used to characterize exercise-induced alterations in gut microbial composition and interindividual variability in microbiota responses to aerobic exercise in lean NAFLD. The data support integrative analyses with clinical phenotypes and circulating metabolomic profiles to explore gut microbiota–associated mechanisms underlying the metabolic benefits of aerobic exercise.
Project description:Lean nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasingly recognized as a distinct clinical phenotype with limited evidence for effective non-pharmacological interventions and unclear mechanistic pathways. Aerobic exercise is recommended for NAFLD management, yet its effects and underlying gut microbiota–mediated mechanisms in lean NAFLD remain insufficiently characterized. This study is based on a randomized controlled trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04882644) in which 100 adults with lean NAFLD were randomly assigned to a 3-month aerobic exercise intervention or usual care. 63 paired fecal samples were collected at baseline and after intervention. Gut microbiota profiles were generated using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The dataset includes processed taxonomic abundance tables derived from fecal samples collected before and after the intervention. These data were used to characterize exercise-induced alterations in gut microbial diversity, composition, and functional potential, and to explore interindividual heterogeneity in microbiota responses to aerobic exercise in lean NAFLD. The microbiome data deposited in this series support integrative analyses with clinical phenotypes and circulating metabolomic profiles, aiming to elucidate gut microbiota–associated mechanisms underlying the metabolic benefits of aerobic exercise in lean NAFLD.
Project description:This study investigates the effects of exercise and genetic predisposition on the transcriptomic profile of the pituitary gland of long-term selected marathon (DUhTP) and non-inbred (DUC) mice. In the exercise group, mice underwent treadmill training for three weeks. For the sedentary control group, mice were kept under minimal physical activities. For the 3-week training program, the mice were running five days per week (Monday to Friday) starting at age of 49 days after birth (Walz et. al. 2021). All mice used in this experiment were male and sacrificed at day 70 of life for tissue sampling.

Project description:Rationale: Physical exercise is essential for skeletal integrity and bone health. The gut microbiome, as a pivotal modulator of overall physiologic states, is closely associated with skeletal homeostasis and bone metabolism. However, the potential role of intestinal microbiota in the exercise-mediated bone gain remains unclear. Methods: We conducted microbiota depletion and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in ovariectomy (OVX) mice and aged mice to investigate whether the transfer of gut ecological traits could confer the exercise-induced bone protective effects. The study analyzed the gut microbiota and metabolic profiles via 16S rRNA gene sequencing and LC-MS untargeted metabolomics to identify key microbial communities and metabolites responsible for bone protection. Transcriptome sequencing and RNA interference were employed to explore the molecular mechanisms. Results: We found that gut microbiota depletion hindered the osteogenic benefits of exercise, and FMT from exercised osteoporotic mice effectively mitigated osteopenia. Comprehensive profiling of the microbiome and metabolome revealed that the exercise-matched FMT reshaped intestinal microecology and metabolic landscape. Notably, alterations in bile acid metabolism, specifically the enrichment of taurine and ursodeoxycholic acid, mediated the protective effects on bone mass. Mechanistically, FMT from exercised mice activated the apelin signaling pathway and restored the bone-fat balance in recipient MSCs. Conclusion: Our study underscored the important role of the microbiota-metabolic axis in the exercise-mediated bone gain, heralding a potential breakthrough in the treatment of osteoporosis.
