Resistance exercise training modulates acute gene expression during human skeletal muscle hypertrophy
Abstract
We sought to determine whether acute resistance exercise (RE)-induced gene expression is modified by RE training. We studied the expression patterns of a select group of genes following an acute bout of RE in naïve and hypertrophying muscle. Thirteen untrained subjects underwent supervised RE training for 12 wk of the nondominant arm and performed an acute bout of RE 1 wk after the last bout of the training program (training+acute). The dominant arm was either unexercised (control) or subjected to the same acute exercise bout as the trained arm (acute RE). Following training, men (14.8 ± 2.8%; P < 0.05) and women (12.6 ± 2.4%; P < 0.05) underwent muscle hypertrophy with increases in dynamic strength in the trained arm (48.2 ± 5.4% and 72.1 ± 9.1%, respectively; P < 0.01). RE training resulted in attenuated anabolic signaling as reflected by a reduction in rpS6 phosphorylation following acute RE. Changes in mRNA levels of genes involved in hypertrophic growth, protein degradation, angiogenesis, and metabolism commonly expressed in both men and women was determined 4 h following acute RE. We show that RE training can modify acute RE-induced gene expression in a divergent and gene-specific manner even in genes belonging to the same ontology. Changes in gene expression following acute RE are multidimensional, and may not necessarily reflect the actual adaptive response taking place during the training process. Thus RE training can selectively modify the acute response to RE, ther…

Compared to trained athletes, untrained individuals have a greater capacity to activate the molecular machinery in muscle in response to contractile activity because any overload stimulus induces large perturbations to cellular homeostasis regardless of the mode of exercise.
“Compared to trained athletes, untrained individuals have a greater capacity to activate the molecular machinery in muscle in response to contractile activity because any overload stimulus induces large perturbations to cellular homeostasis regardless of the mode of exercise (Benziane et al., 2008b;Perry et al., 2010;Nader et al., 2014).”

PGC-1α4 expression was not induced in the muscle of untrained subjects in response to an acute bout of resistance exercise undertaken at the beginning of a 12 week training programme, but was selectively up-regulated by the same exercise session at the end of the intervention period.
“Of note, Nader et al. (Nader et al., 2014) showed PGC-1α4 expression was not induced in the muscle of untrained subjects in response to an acute bout of resistance exercise undertaken at the beginning of a 12 week training programme, but was selectively up-regulated by the same exercise session at the end of the intervention period.”

“A number of attractive possibilities may explain this phenomenon; for instance, changes in DNA methylation (3) may silence/activate gene expression, and this may vary according to the training state.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
