Over the past 2 decades, transcriptome studies in muscle have detailed acute and chronic responses to resistance, endurance, and concurrent exercise, focusing on variables such as training status, nutrition, age, sex, and metabolic health profile. Multi-omics approaches, such as the integration of transcriptomic and epigenetic data, along with emerging ribosomal RNA sequencing advancements, have further provided insights into how skeletal muscle adapts to exercise across the lifespan. Downstream of the transcriptome, proteomic and phosphoproteomic studies have identified novel regulators of exercise adaptations, while single-cell/nucleus and spatial sequencing technologies promise to evolve our understanding of cellular specialization and communication in and around skeletal muscle cells. This narrative review highlights (a) the historical foundations of exercise omics in skeletal muscle, (b) current research at 3 layers of the omics cascade (DNA, RNA, and protein), and (c) applications of single-cell omics and spatial sequencing technologies to study skeletal muscle adaptation to exercise. Further elaboration of muscle's global molecular footprint using multi-omics methods will help researchers and practitioners develop more effective and targeted approaches to improve skeletal muscle health as well as athletic performance.</p>","PeriodicalId":48897,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sport and Health Science","volume":" ","pages":"101029"},"PeriodicalIF":9.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143442499","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to investigate the vascular and metabolic effects of gut microbiota from exercise-trained donors on sedentary mice with type 2 diabetes and the potential mechanism.METHODSLeptin receptor-deficient diabetic (db/db) and nondiabetic (db/m+) mice underwent running treadmill exercise for 8 weeks, during which fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) was parallelly performed from exercise-trained to sedentary diabetic (db/db) mice. Endothelial function, glucose homeostasis, physical performance, and vascular signaling of recipient mice were assessed. Vascular and intestinal stresses, including inflammation, oxidative stress, and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, were investigated. RNA sequencing analysis on mouse aortic and intestinal tissues was performed. Gut microbiota profiles of recipient mice were evaluated by metagenomic sequencing.RESULTSChronic exercise improved vascular and metabolic abnormalities in donor mice. Likewise, FMT from exercised donors retarded body weight gain and slightly improved grip strength and rotarod performance in recipient mice. Exercise-associated FMT enhanced endothelial function in different arteries, suppressed vascular and intestinal stresses, and improved glucose homeostasis in recipient mice, with noted microRNA-181b upregulation in aortas and intestines. Altered gut microbiota profiles and gut-derived factors (e.g., short-chain fatty acids and glucagon-like peptide-1) as well as improved intestinal integrity shall contribute to the cardiometabolic benefits, implying a gut‒vascular connection.CONCLUSIONThis proof-of-concept study indicates that exercised microbiota confers cardiometabolic benefits on sedentary db/db mice, extending the beneficial mechanism of exercise through gut‒vascular communication.

In a serendipitous discovery, we identified atrial enlargement, fibrosis, and thrombi in mice with reduced phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) in cardiomyocytes. PI3K(p110α) is elevated in the heart with exercise and is critical for exercise-induced ventricular enlargement and protection, but the role in the atria was unknown. Physical inactivity and extreme endurance exercise can increase AF risk. Therefore, our objective was to investigate whether too little and/or too much PI3K alone induces cardiac pathology.METHODSNew cardiomyocyte-specific transgenic mice with increased or decreased PI3K(p110α) activity were generated. Multi-omics was conducted in mouse atrial tissue, and lipidomics in human plasma.RESULTSElevated PI3K led to an increase in heart size with preserved/enhanced function. Reduced PI3K led to atrial dysfunction, fibrosis, arrhythmia, increased susceptibility to atrial enlargement and thrombi, and dysregulation of monosialodihexosylganglioside (GM3), a lipid that regulates insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF1)-PI3K signaling. Proteomic profiling identified distinct signatures and signaling networks across atria with varying degrees of dysfunction, enlargement, and thrombi, including commonalities with the human AF proteome. PI3K-related lipids were dysregulated in plasma from athletes with AF.CONCLUSIONPI3K(p110α) is a critical regulator of atrial biology and function in mice. This work provides a proteomic resource of candidates for further validation as potential new drug targets and biomarkers for atrial myopathy. Further investigation of PI3K-related lipids as markers for identifying individuals at risk of AF is warranted. Dysregulation of PI3K may contribute to the association between increased cardiac risk with physical inactivity and extreme endurance exercise.","PeriodicalId":48897,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sport and Health Science","volume":"107 1","pages":"101023"},"PeriodicalIF":11.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142991703","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
