Resumen

This study examined changes in the expression of translation initiation regulatory proteins and mRNA following both an acute bout of endurance exercise and chronic muscle contractile activity. Female Sprague Dawley rats ran for 2 h at 15 m·min-1 followed by an increase in speed of 5 m·min-1 every 5 min until volitional fatigue. The red gastrocnemius muscle was harvested from nonexercised animals (control; n = 6) and from animals that exercised either immediately after exercise (n = 6) or following 3 h of recovery from exercise(n=6). Compared with control, ribosomal protein S6 (rpS6) mRNA was elevated (p<0.05) at both 0 h(+32%)and3h(+47%).Both a catalytic subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor 2B (eIF2B)(+127%) and mammalian targetof rapamycin (mTOR) mRNA (+44%) were increased at 3 h, compared with control. Phosphorylation of mTOR (+40%) and S6 kinase 1 (S6K1) (+266%) were increased immediately after exercise (p < 0.05). Female Sprague Dawley rats also underwent chronic stimulation of the peroneal nerve continuously for 7 days. The red gastrocnemius muscle was removed 24 h after cessation of the stimulation. Chronic muscle stimulation increased (p < 0.05) mTOR protein (+74%), rpS6 (+31%), and eukaryotic initiation factor 2α (+44%, p = 0.069), and this was accompanied by an increase in cytochrome c (+31%). Increased resting phosphorylation was observed for rpS6 (+51%) (p < 0.05) but not for mTOR or eukaryotic initiation factor 4E binding protein 1. These experiments demonstrate that both acute and chronic contractile activity up-regulate the mTOR pathway and mitochondrial content in murine skeletal muscle. This up-regulation of the mTOR pathway may increase translation efficiency and may also represent an important control point in exercise-mediated mitochondrial biogenesis.
