    Abstract Gene expression of the NR4A nuclear orphan receptor NOR-1 is reduced in obesity and in human skeletal muscle during disuse. It has been well established that NOR-1 is highly responsive to both aerobic and resistance exercise and NOR-1 overexpression is coincident with a plethora of metabolic benefits. However, it is unclear whether loss of NOR-1 contributes to inappropriate metabolic signaling in skeletal muscle that could lead to insulin resistance. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the impact of NOR-1 deficiency on C2C12 metabolic signaling. Changes in gene expression after siRNA-mediated NOR-1 knockdown in C2C12 myotubes were determined by qPCR and bioinformatic analysis of RNA-Seq data. Our RNA-Seq data identified several metabolic targets regulated by NOR-1 and implicates NOR-1 as a modulator of mTORC1 signaling via Akt-independent mechanisms. Furthermore, pathway analysis revealed NOR-1 knockdown perturbs the insulin resistance and insulin sensitivity pathways. Taken together, these data suggest skeletal muscle NOR-1 deficiency may contribute to altered metabolic signaling that is consistent with metabolic disease. We postulate that strategies that improve NOR-1 may be important to offset the negative impact that inactivity, obesity, and type 2 diabetes have on mitochondria and muscle metabolism.

    Abstract Recent studies have indicated a role for circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) in the pathogenesis of multiple diseases. However, most in vitro studies have used variable and arbitrary doses of EVs rather than interpreting EVs as an existing component of standard skeletal muscle cell culture media. The current study provides an initial investigation into the effects of circulating EVs on the metabolic phenotype of C2C12 myotubes by replacing EVs from fetal bovine serum with circulating EVs from control mice or mice with obesity and type 2 diabetes (OT2D). We report that EVs associated with OT2D decrease 2-NBDG uptake (a proxy measure of glucose uptake) in the insulin-stimulated state compared to controls. OT2D associated EV treatment also significantly decreased myosin heavy chain type 1 (MHCI) mRNA abundance in myotubes but had no effect on mRNA expression of any other myosin heavy chain isoforms. OT2D-associated circulating EVs also significantly increased lipid accumulation within myotubes without altering the expression of a selection of genes important for lipid entry, synthesis, or catabolism. The data indicate that, in a severely diabetic state, circulating EVs may contribute to insulin resistance and alter gene expression in myotubes in a manner consistent with the skeletal muscle phenotype observed in OT2D.

    Abstract Background: Injection of exogenous mitochondria has been shown to improve the ischaemia-damaged myocardium, but the effect of mitochondrial transplant therapy (MTT) to restore skeletal muscle mass and function has not been tested following neuromuscular injury. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that MTT would improve the restoration of muscle function after injury.
    Methods: BaCl
    Results: MTT did not increase systemic inflammation in mice. Muscle mass 7 days following injury was 21.9 ± 2.1% and 17.4 ± 1.9% lower (P < 0.05) in injured as compared with non-injured intra-animal control muscles in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS)- and MTT-treated animals, respectively. Maximal plantar flexor muscle force was significantly lower in injured as compared with uninjured muscles of PBS-treated (-43.4 ± 4.2%, P < 0.05) and MTT-treated mice (-47.7 ± 7.3%, P < 0.05), but the reduction in force was not different between the experimental groups. The percentage of collagen and other non-contractile tissue in histological muscle cross sections, was significantly greater in injured muscles of PBS-treated mice (33.2 ± 0.2%) compared with MTT-treated mice (26.5 ± 0.2%) 7 days after injury. Muscle wet weight and maximal muscle force from injured MTT-treated mice had recovered to control levels by 14 days after the injury. However, muscle mass and force had not improved in PBS-treated animals by 14 days after injury. The non-contractile composition of the gastrocnemius muscle tissue cross sections was not different between control, repaired PBS-treated and repaired MTT-treated mice 14 days after injury. By 21 days following injury, PBS-treated mice had fully restored gastrocnemius muscle mass of the injured muscle to that of the uninjured muscle, although maximal plantar flexion force was still 19.4 ± 3.7% (P < 0.05) lower in injured/repaired gastrocnemius as compared with uninjured intra-animal control muscles.
    Conclusions: Our results suggest that systemic mitochondria delivery can enhance the rate of muscle regeneration and restoration of muscle function following injury.

    Abstract Recent studies have shown that consuming amino acid-rich compounds improves tendon collagen content and biomechanical properties. Yet, it is unclear if the consumption of amino acids alters local (peritendinous) amino acid concentrations. If aging or exercise influence local amino acid concentrations in conjunction with an amino acid bolus is also not known. We conducted two studies. In Study 1, young women (n = 7, 25 ± 2 years) completed two identical resistance training sessions with either essential amino acid (EAA) or placebo consumption. In Study 2, an EAA bolus identical to Study 1 was given to younger (n = 7; 27 ± 1 year) and older adults (n = 6; 68 ± 2 years). Microdialysis was used to determine Achilles peritendinous amino acid and pro-collagen Iα1 (a marker of collagen synthesis) concentrations. In Study 1, amino acid consumption increased peritendinous concentrations of all EAA except histidine (p < 0.05). In Study 2, the peritendinous concentration of EAAs except for methionine, histidine, and lysine (p > 0.05) increased with time (p < 0.05). Further, the concentrations of most measured amino acids were greater in older adults (p < 0.05). Pro-collagen Iα1 concentration (p > 0.05) was unaffected by exercise, EAA, or aging (p > 0.05). Our findings demonstrate the following: (1) when not combined with exercise, an oral EAA bolus leads to only modest increases in Achilles peritendinous amino acid concentrations; (2) when combined with resistance exercise, EAA consumption resulted in greater peritendinous amino acid concentrations compared to no exercise; (3) the basal concentrations of most amino acids were greater in older adults, and (4) neither the EAA bolus nor exercise altered peritendinous pro-collagen concentrations.

    Abstract Purpose: Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) has been shown to be a predictor of endothelial dysfunction in patients with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) (e.g., obesity). Circulating PTX3 concentrations are dysregulated in obese individuals and are elevated following acute aerobic exercise. High-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) has been demonstrated to be as effective as continuous moderate-intensity exercise in improving endothelial function, as indicated by brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (BAFMD), in patients with CVD. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the effect of acute HIIE on plasma PTX3 and BAFMD responses in obese individuals.
    Methods: Eight obese and six normal-weight young males participated in acute HIIE (4 intervals of 4 min at 80-90% of VO
    Results: Plasma PTX3 concentrations significantly increased following HIIE, yet the PTX3 response to HIIE was significantly blunted in obese compared to normal-weight participants. While the kinetic responses of BAFMD were also significantly different in obese compared to normal-weight participants, similar increases above the baseline were observed 2 hours into recovery in both groups. Finally, plasma PTX3 concentrations were not associated with BAFMD at baseline or in response to HIIE.
    Conclusion: The utilization of HIIE may serve as a time-efficient exercise prescription strategy to transiently improve endothelial function, independent of elevated plasma PTX3 concentrations, in obese individuals.
