Precision High Intensity Training through Epigenetics
Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative
Wright State University

What are you trying to do?
PHITE is exploring the link between physical training and epigenetics through a carefully controlled and long-term exercise study.
PHITE investigates and mechanistically links changes in DNA methylation, chromatin / histones, miRNA, and nuclear transcription factors to changes in performance from physical training and will:
① Identify individuals who benefit from specific (moderate vs. high intensity) training protocols.
② Assess peak performance, such that the warfighter avoids overuse injury and/or performance degradation.
③ Define the molecular mechanisms underlying performance maintenance during periods of inactivity.
Epigenetics are a primary mechanism by which PT protocols transduce warfighter genotype into warfighting phenotype.
20
Real-Time Epigenetic Biomarkers of Human Performance
Genotype of athletic potential:
• DNA methylation capacity has been shown to be significantly higher in elite athletes than non-elite athletes.
• The PHITE program will genotype each subject for SNPs (221 autosomal, 18 mitochondrial) associated with athletic performance as well as those associated with methylation capacity and will test the hypothesis that methylation capacity is an indicator of the maximum achievable level of individual performance.
miRNA biomarkers:
• miRNAs are short non-protein coding RNAs involved in post-transcriptional regulation of multiple target mRNAs and act to repress the translation of target mRNAs, or facilitate their degradation.
• Muscle derived exosomal miRNAs, circulating in peripheral blood have been linked to endurance and resistance training.
• PHITE will identify (miRNA-Seq) and validate (RT-PCR) miRNAs in blood and muscle, and correlate the two sample types to create a peripheral blomarkers of fitness and exertion.
PHITE will identify circulating miRNAs that serve as near real-time biomarkers of fitness and exertion

PHITE Analytic Pipeline: matching research goals, data types, and techniques
Deep Belief Networks will be applied to elucidate mechanisms across disparate data types from all PHITE studies
Goal: Develop global epigenetic regulatory network models that mediate the response to varied exercise intensities.
PHITE will develop epigenetic regulatory network models and forecasting algorithms that can predict training state
meQTL: loci-specific investigation treats methylation at a specific locus as a quantitative trait to determine whether genetic determinants contribute to the observed variation in DNA methylation.
epiQTL: non-loci-specific investigation that treats DMRs as physical markers along the chromosome to map a phenotype to the epigenome.
Deep Belief Networks are a multilayered deep learning approach to generating artificial neural networks, combining unsupervised and supervised strategies for identifying omple hierarchical relationships across multiple layers of multimodal epigenetic, physiological, and performance data.
