MicroRNAs as Important Regulators of Exercise Adaptation
Gustavo J J Silva, Anja Bye, Hamid El Azzouzi, Ulrik Wisløff. Progress in cardiovascular diseases, 2017-06-28
Topic: Inflammation, microglia and astrocytes
A significant body of evidence supports the protective role of exercise training (ET) in cardiovascular diseases, skeletal muscle dystrophies, several types of cancer, Alzheimer disease or even in the recovery of spinal cord injury. In spite of this, the molecular mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of exercise training are not well understood and remain elusive. Several mechanisms have been proposed in the past, but more recently microRNAs (miRNAs), small non-coding RNA molecules involved in a variety of basic biological processes that negatively modulate gene expression, recognized as important regulatory molecules. In this review, we highlight recent advances on the miRNA involvement in the benefits of ET. Here, we assess the role of microRNAs expressed in the heart, in the skeletal muscle, detected in the circulation (serum and plasma), and in other conditions (e.g., spinal cord injury). Additionally, the long-term effects of diverse ET modalities (e.g., running, cycling, resistance training) in the cardiac miRNA profile are properly addressed.
Key findings
- A significant body of evidence supports the protective role of exercise training (ET) in cardiovascular diseases, skeletal muscle dystrophies, several types of cancer, Alzheimer disease or even in the recovery of spinal cord injury.

How this study scored 39/100
Published in a peer-reviewed journal. Scored zero for study design, sample size, effect reported, studied in people and randomised / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on journal's citation record, times cited, citations per year, impact for its field and year, cited by studies here, still being cited, senior author's track record, institution's track record, multi-centre collaboration and free to read, so those were left out: it earned 22 of the 56 points we could judge it on, which is 39 out of 100.
