Abstract
Objective
The adaptive response to different models of regular exercise involves complex tissue crosstalk. Our aim was to explore the involvement of extracellular vesicle (EV) microRNAs (miRNAs) in this process, the secretory role of skeletal muscle and its functional metabolic interaction with the liver.
Methods
Plasma EV miRNAs obtained from mice after 4-weeks of endurance or resistance training were sequenced. Subsequent experiments using trained genetically modified mouse models and in vitro approaches involving knock-down and electrostimulated cells, were conducted.
Results
Resistance training increased the expression of a group of 11 miRNAs functionally divided into two clusters. Among them, miR-29a-3p emerges as a molecular mediator released in EVs by skeletal muscle, with a relevant role in adaptation to endurance training, by contributing to modulate the expression and secretion of other miRNAs associated with training and regulating processes related to substrate availability, transport, and metabolic use in skeletal muscle and liver.
Conclusions
Our study suggests that miR-29a-3p is a training-induced molecular mediator in the response and adaptation to resistance training, possibly due to its regulatory role in energy metabolism in skeletal muscle in response to exercise.
期刊介绍:
Molecular Metabolism is a leading journal dedicated to sharing groundbreaking discoveries in the field of energy homeostasis and the underlying factors of metabolic disorders. These disorders include obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Our journal focuses on publishing research driven by hypotheses and conducted to the highest standards, aiming to provide a mechanistic understanding of energy homeostasis-related behavior, physiology, and dysfunction.
We promote interdisciplinary science, covering a broad range of approaches from molecules to humans throughout the lifespan. Our goal is to contribute to transformative research in metabolism, which has the potential to revolutionize the field. By enabling progress in the prognosis, prevention, and ultimately the cure of metabolic disorders and their long-term complications, our journal seeks to better the future of health and well-being.
