Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Recent evidence, using animal models, suggests that angiotensin II can positively influence skeletal muscle hypertrophy. We conducted a genetic profile of RAS family members during C2C12 myoblast proliferation and differentiation. We also examined RAS family member gene expression following 4h of mechanical stretch. Both angiotensin II receptors (AT1 and AT2) were expressed in proliferating and differentiating myobasts and were significantly upregulated at day 1 of differentiation, while the AT2 receptor demonstrated a persistent upregulation at both day 1 and day 3 as compared to proliferation. Interestingly, angiotensiogen was transiently downregulated upon exposure to differentiation media but was significantly upregulated at day 7 of differentiation. Furthermore, angiotensin converting enzyme showed weak expression during proliferation but increased significantly upon differentiation across all time points. Immediately following mechanical stretch we observed a reduction in AT1 and AT2 gene expression. In addition we observed an increase in AT1 expression 4h post stretch. These results suggest that RAS family members may play a role in regulating myoblast differentiation. Furthermore, it appears that RAS family members are responsive to stretch‐induced stress.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
